League Game Tonight
An Interesting possibility exists in
connection with the Industrial lea
que baseball game scheduled for this
evening between the Trumbull EleC-
lric and Standard Steel teams, for
a. win by the latter team would re-
suit in the dcadlocliing OF all four
league games in a tie. The Temcos
have won two out Of three games
and the Bearings Makers one out OF
three. SO that win for the latter
would tic them at .5O0--thc per-
centage now held by the Business
men and Peck Spring Co. The
Standard Steel took its first victory
last week and Is looking forward to
another win tonight, but the lea
que leaders are determined to re-
pei the assault of the longtime riv-
ais and will prove no easy meat.
