High School Athletes Want Re
 Yenge on South Manchester

 He is depending on the athletes who made the points in the Crosby meet to again come through for scores. If all the men who made a place last Saturday can repeat their work today. 1t is doubtful if the South Manchester team will be able to equal the wor kof the Crosby high school team in victory.
 iHosc "Ao dic SAPCSlcu to ie"u in the various events are Joe Szabo. Frank McGrath, Lines and Yahn in the 100-yard dash: Szabo and Me- Grath in the 220-yard dash; Schick in the 440-yard dash: Zehrer and Conley in the SS0-yard run: Der. rick.

 Action From Fast Teams

The third season of the Inter- Church baseball league will open at 6:45 o'clock Monday evening at Me morial field. Willow Brook park, with three games scheduled.

The St. Matts will have practically the same team which went through the lS-game schedule last year with but one loss and will give any challenger a tough battle. but several other teams have been strengthened and should make the race closer than in the past.
 The champion St. Matts open against the First Baptists. who played mediocre but steady ball last year and hope to go better now. The South church, which closed last summers race with rush. will meet the Stanley Memorial nine, rated as one of the strongest combinations in the circuit. The Swedish Bethany outfit, a newcomer which Is said to have good material to pick from, will oppose the Trinity NJ. E. church nine, which finished second last year and gave the Sc. Matts their only beating.
 On Friday the other four teams will start play. the Kensington Con- gregaticnalists meeting the Every mans Bible class and the Center church tackling the First Lutherans. The South and Swedish Bethany churches will return for the second time in the week and face each other.
 There were four errors in the schedule as originally made public. but these have now been corrected. On June 20. the Bible class instead of Kensngton is scheduled to play the Swedes; Kensington plays them on June 27. The Center church and not the LutheranS is scheduled to clash with the South church on August 8. The opponents on the Swedish Bethany team on August 22 are the Stanmors. not the South church.
