 Hills Vs Hearts
 The Washington Hills and Sa- cred Hearts have never been known to give the fans disappoint- ment and when they clash against each other in the last game tomor- row something is sure to happen. In Nick Hodobenko and Ike Block, manager Eddie Bagley finds that he has promising pair of for wards who are capable of coming through regardless of the sur rounding circumstances. The re- mainder of the eastern section line- up will include Mort and B. Kiel- " IIrv Kr1I and Manwieller. G. V. Casey, di- rector of the Hills activities will show the Lewis boys; Petrocine, Jack Keefe, Loughlin, Mccormack. Joe Cavanaugh and Steve Mentur- wick.

 BrOOkIyns Play
 The snappy young Brooklyn team will face strong opposition in J. Raytkwich's Naugatuck Emeralds. The Burrough boys have been go- ing along rather nicely of late and hope to cling to that lone victory over the Tommies. Based on the showing made in their last contest 1t is probable that H. Cieslweski, T. Harnich, John White, Al Raytk- wich and Don Garrick will hear the opening call while the reserve strength will be made up of Ray Lodge, T. Raytkwich, W. Cullen, C. Tomlinson and Frankie Edmonds. Myles Kelley, pilot of the across the bridgers hasn't picked his first five as yet and little has leaked out about his plans for the future. It is known however, that the B. A. c. has done something drastic to their lineup. Harry Huey, Bill Barron, Joe Swasey, Dom Spadoia, Hank Geagan, Brony Christian. Jim Crichton, F. Damelia, and Joe Boley will be there but the pres ence of Ralph Santopietro Is ques- toned. J. A. Cluney will oSficiate.
 Still Another
 There will be quantity as well as quality at the Red Triangle sur face for the Irish Americans will play the Thomas Club. It isn't ex- pected that this contest will attract all of the 600 spectators who may attend but the game will be really worth going to see. Manager Tom Carney has filed the names of three players with the secretary and their appearance is very apt to be the instigation of little .trou- ble inasmuch as they were sent. in Thursday. The league has an air. tight ruling that states a specific date for the filing of rosters and in general it does look dark for the Tommies. Gus Lonergan has been prevailed upon to visualize the plays. s-
