REP S0X READY
 FOR PLALNVILLE
Champion Teams to Meet for Second Time Sunday Afternoon

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team will clash with Plainvile Blues in Plainville Sunday afternoon for the second time in as many weeks. The teams met last Sunday and through the great. pitching of Walter Berg, the Sox took the contest by to 0 score. The result was 10 the Plain vile crew, anything but decisive and immediately arrangements were made to play again this coming Sun day.
 In this game. the Plainville team will play with the confidence that 1t is on par with the Corbin Red SoX. I'p to last Sunday, the management was dubious about the ability of it's players 10 stand Up under the ter rifle bombardmcnt of the Red SoX batters.
 With the score as close as it was and Plainville batters facing Berg for the first time, the prediction is that things will be different this coming Sunday The Blues showed
 
 champions and now that the batters feel that they are familiar with Bergs style, ! totally different re- suit is expected.
 The pitchers for the game will probably be the same as they were last week. Manager John Tobin of the Corbin Red SoX will throw Berg back into the front line while Da- toli, formerly with All-Plainville, will most probably occupy mound for the Plainville Blues. The rest of the lineups for both teams will be the same.
 The contest will be staged on the Plainville High school baseball dia- mond and will start o'clock sharp A record crowd is expected to view it. Eddie Crowley of this city and Johnny Guiden of Plainville will be the umpires.
