The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-11

From the viewpoint of the Sun day regulars who sit in on the week. | ly proceedings at the East Main street playground, sentiment is quite evenly divided as to the winner. The Washington Hills, with their greatest rooter, Al the Tire Man, morally and financially behind them will be in there to protect their one game headlock on first place in the league earned through the medium of having lost but one game in six starts and that to a team that is hardly considered in their class. Which only goes to prove the un- certainty of the great national pas time insofar as the winning and los- ing of games is concerned.
 Both Fighting Teams
 Tomorrow afternoon, the fans will probably run true to form and will be roofing for the underdog, represented by fast-thinking. hard-hitting Brooklyn A. c. aggre- gation that looks like the real thing both in the field and at bat. If they are subject to mental hazards, their only worry will be the to 1 win in the Hills favor the first time the teams met, a few weeks ago. How ever Brooklyn teams in any sport have habit of playing to win each and every game, and you can be sure they will be on their toes until the last man is out.
 The Hills, with a bang-up hard playing aggregation look at to-mor- rows game from the most logical angle that there is nothing to stop them from hanging up another win over the boys in blue and gray, equal to or surpassing that to 1 victory which is gone but hardly forgotten. They also have an outfit that is up and doing every minute and is quite equal in batting strength to their opponents. On the hill. it will probably be Ray Daly against Johnny Jablonowski and if both boys are right a very nice pitchers battle should ensue. Daly is 8 willy and able hurler who does his own thinking in any sport and he is unquestionably most valuable man to any team. Jablonowski is q seasoned twirler with world of stuff and more than. ordinary ability to outguess batter. Hitting is what will win the game. and it should be great to look at, which is another way of predicting the sea- sons largest gathering of fans.
 Look at This
 Aside from the big struggle, the Prospect Chargers and North End Tommies are due for a 2 o'clock showing that will be more than an ordinary game. The Garagemen. who set the league in conflagration for the first month of the season. will show Fay Vincent, Yale captain, Barty Mcdonnell, last years leading batsman, and Make Dujack. 'tis said. the trio having hoped over from the cellar occuping Hearts, due to reasons which you would guess right off. If that is so, the Tommies will have to press to win, but they have a few sluggers that are capable of wrecking any old ball game.
 The Sacred Hearts, with another juggled team will take the turf against the Tribunes and this game should be worth looking at for the reason that both teams are not far apart in team ability. neither being too strong. At any rate, the Tribes figure that if they were strong enough to stop the Hills, they should not have too much trouble beating the Hearts. On the other hand, you know how a team will try to make it's first win of the season, which is why the Hearts will be lin there"
