STRONG TEAMS ID MEET IN SERIES
Kensington and Falcons Clash
 In First Game Sunday

The series between the Kensing- ton and Falcon baseball teams will open up Sunday afternoon in Ken sington at 3 o'clock. This will be the first clash this season between the two outfits and should be a battle worthy of the best baseball traditions in this city.
 Both teams are about as "eyen Steven" as any fan could wish and the first zane will give anyone in doubt, line on the class of ball players contained in the two line ups. Kensington will hold a slight advantage in playing on it's home grounds, but the Falcons hope to offset this by getting away to good start.
 The series it seems to the ma jority of the fans who have watch ed the two teams in action, rests with the pitchers and the breaks of the game. Without any doubt, Charley Yale will be selected by Manager Pa Buckley to open up Sunday afternoon while Manager yeniski will use either Ginger" Cleary or his good. old standby. Bruno Kania. With either one of these paired sp with the southpaw ace of the Kensington team, some sweet twirlins is expected to develop.
 Kensington has been playing rag ged baseball lately, but this is no sign of weakening. The team came back strong against the Meriden En- dees and played that team to to standstill in Il frames. Although beaten, the Kensington team showed that it has the goods and with the players running the bases as they should. the Falcons will have to travel at top speed to down them. Manager Buckley is pinning his shopes for Sundays game on "1iggs' Patrus, the heady, little second baseman of the team. "Yiggs" was put out of commission when he was spiked in the leg last Sunday, but the wound, though deep and severe, has been coming along in good shape and he may get into the game Sunday. He is practically on his feet again and thinks, himself, that he will be in shape to play In Sundays game.
 Manager Veniski feels confident that his team is the equal of the Kensington team and the packers Of the nine will all move in body to the Percival avenue grounds to watch the battle. The bus service from Upson's Corner to the field Will be in operation and this will give inc fans an accommodation that has heretofore been lacking.
 Without doubt, the largest crowd of the season will be on hand ot watch the game. It is seldom that two teams appear to be so closely matched as the Falcons and Ken singtons. In the catching depart ment the Falcons have Kopec and Benson. Benson will probably start as Kopec has bad finger. Kenslng- ton has the old reliable, Adam Sul- lick and backstops were never made better than these three. In the pitching department, kenslnGton mas Berg, Yale. Fields and Bucholtz while the Falcons have B. Kama, Ray Fisher, J. Cleary or Jagolowskl.
 The two Budnicks, Joe Kama ana Johnny Klatka form the Falcon nl- field while Kensington has Patrus, Jasper, Zeigler and Begley or Beagle. The outfielders are all sweet ball players. Falcons have Micky Huner, Kreader and Fergu- son while Kensington has Weir. Mc- Cormick and Sheehan with Greco in reserve.
 With these two teams all set to get at each other some sweet ball games are carded for the future.
