The Orioles OF New Britain will
play the Plainvilles here Sunday
afternoon. The Orioles are at pres
ent engaged in a series with the
Rangers for the amateur champion
ship Of the Hardware City, the Sc
ries at present standing one to one
in games. This shows that Plain
vile must be at its best to win the
encounter.
An unusual angle is given the
game by the fact that many Of the
All-Plainville team have played with
the Orioles at various times during
the season, the New Britain team
having used a large number of
Plainville players in it's lineup. This
will inject an added incentive for
both teams to win.
