The eyes of the card shuffling element are on tonight's contest 10 see what chance the Tabs team has in the race. John Conlin,s Blue state that if they could not stop the Paper Dolls" nobody can, Giana predicts disappointment 10 both the Paper Dolls'' and the Blue Hillians.
 It is not known who will comprise Giana's full team but it Is thought that Bill McGee. Jerry Warren and John George will appear among the Kensington aggregation. Belmont will probably use his regulation squad with W. w. Pagan and Tom Nalarney as the Fig guns and his new found star. Michael Rayno, giv- ing the needed support to the veter- ans.
 Conlin's players will meet the East Berlin team on Thursday evening" and indic tions point to Blue Hills victory at last. The new squad from the little district are hampered with lncXperience but will doubtlesslv put up a game fight. Tho score for all teams stands as follows: Paper Dolls have won two and lost none: Tabs have won one and lost none; East Berlin has lost one and won none and the Men from tho Mountains have lost 4wo and have a goose egg on the winning column. The game against tho Acorn club of Meriden is discounted, from the Blue Hillans' win column as outside players were called upon 10 flll tho ranks.
