munity Club
And Robins On
Hill Court Tonight

Only one OF the two games on the
washington Park senior league bill
for tonight stands a chance OF hay.
ing any bearing on the standing Of
the leading teams, and that Is the
set-to OF the Community Club Va
the Robins, which Is the feature at
traction. Sectional interest will
make the battle between the; Trib-
unes and Hill Juniors by far the
more interesting game, even though
neither squad stands a chance for
the second round pennant.
Having not been victorious In
five starts the Robins seem to
stand little chance of knocking the
Community Club, winners OF four
and losers Of only one, out OF their
tie for first place with the Rey-
mond Hillies and Gents OF the Hill.
In addition, the Communities are
overlooking with zcstful confidence
after setting back the Welles last
Friday night, when they were ex-
pected TO do the opposite. The gods
OF fate have sponsored greater
freaks, however, and II would be
more than ironic IF the Robins
should prove the stumbling block
OF the Communities.
Apples Murphy has his Hill
Juniors In fine fettle for their game
with Mike Sheehan's Tribunes, and
a victory for one over the other
counts more TO them than taking a
leading team out of the standing.
These two teams will have roofing
sections that will attempt TO raise
the roof OF the community house, so
great Is their enthusiasm.
