 OUTFIT WINS
City League Rivals Clash Sunday at Hamilton
 Park Diamond

The novelty of a team that has never won a title trying to win its first baseball championship from a team that is defending the City Amateur League crown, is the in- ccntive that may attract as many as 5000 fans to Hamilton park to- morrow afternoon, given good weather. Briefly. the situation is this:

 One Game Apart
 Victory for the Tommies tomor- row means that both clubs have won 10 of l2 games played to date and another and final game for the championship will have to be played. probably one week from Sunday. Pitching is the problem that both teams will have to con- tend with, no less than l6 twirlerg being available for mound duty, Il for the Tribunes and s for the Thomas club.
 Because of their steadiness tight defense and the fact that they have won 10 of Il games played to date, the Tribunes will 70 into the game slight fayorites, though there is no one in the north end who thinks the Tommles cannot tie up the league and go through to their sec ond championship in two seasons.
 Man for man, there K very little difference in the attack of the teams which are about equal in hitting ability, therefore the team that gets the best pitching and gives the sup- port needed If it's twirlcrs slip . bit, should be ", winner. /I Set
