Rose TosserS
Eye Second
Half Title
BY GARRETT WATERS

A host of interesting games will
again make tomorrow a notable
Cay for the sandlotters.
Most important are the National
City League skirmiShes, five In
particular standing out.
A Section A unlimited contest
between the Dixie Pigs and Rose
Liquors, on the South Ellipse at
8 p. M. actually heads the list.
The Roses won the firSt-half cham
plonship last Sunday, when they
beat the Gordons, II to l.
This triumph did lot for the
boys. So much, in fact, they are
ready to wade right into the Pigs
tomorrow as a starter toward the
second-half title.
The Roses have a brilliant
pitcher in Walter Murphy. right
handler. Murphy proved his met
tie by winning last Sunday when
ii really meant something. He let
the Gordons down with four hits.
RadiOmen VS.. Ross
Now, those other games. Two
Section B clashes promise more
action than the rest when Star
Radio and Ross jewelers. meet
at Takoma at 3 p. m. and New
Deal and the Joe Tucci Plumbers
tangle at Fairlawn, same hour.
The New Deals won the first
half title in Section B. The
Plumbers were fourth. They were
not an outclasSed fourth. how
ever. if you know what we mean.
They finished in that position only
because several heart-rending
games we're lost.
The Star Radio-RoSs Jeweler
contest will give the former a
chance to get away to an expected
good start in the second half. The
Radiomen finished second to the
New Deals during the first-half
schedule. The big aim now. of |
course, is to better this showing.
Human Interest Angle
The Wade and j. c. Flood game
tops the Junior Division. It is
slated on the South Elllpse at l
p. m. A human interest angle to |
this clash revolves around Charlie
Aquilino, little catcher of the
Floods.
Aquilino had to miss his teams |
game last Sunday because of hav-
ing just given blood to a team
mate and pal, Tony Burruto. who
is seriously i'll. He is back in fet-
tie now, however, and will go be-
hind the bat for the Floods. who
hope to show the Wades how it
should be done.
Incidentally, Burruto is on the |
road to recovery, no doubt due
to the aid and strength his pals
blood gave him.
BEAT DeOudes!"
The cry in the midget section
tomorrow. as it's been all season,
will be Beat the Deoudes!"
This team has shown the way
ever since play began and it's
become a case of which opponent |
will do the halting. The Deoudes
won the first half title hands
down with five victories as
against no losses, and last Sun
day beat Police No. II. IL to 3
for a good second half start.
Tomorrow, the Deoudes meet |
the Police No. S nine, at Fair
lawn at II a. m. The latter
hopes to be the first team to
get in that all-important win.
