 The Ends who did not open their campaign until well after the rest of the state, have chalked up 10 victories in IA games against stand out Nutmeg teams. It will be their first appearance of the season in Waterbury and Brass City fans will be in for a unique treat.
 In addition to the pepperybox Marc, Gene Hayes, former Bristol high brilliant, Steve Dobreski, Joe Skelsky, Ben Allaire, Fred zaino and Lefty Twardy perform for the Ends, who won the Bristol championship by trimming the vaunted Captains in two straight games recently.
 The Liths, with five straight vic- tories and eight straight at home under their collective belt, will have to guard against confidence as any team with MT. Marc in its line up is bound to be a scrappy outfit capable of rising to the heights re- gardless of the opposition.

ROYAL MAIL TO GARRY 175 IN A|NTREE RACE
Grand National Tomorrow Wide Open-Blue Shirt
 May Score

Aintree, Eng, March 24.-(UP).- Thirty-six jumpers from the United States, England, Ireland and France go to the post tomorrow in the 101st running of the Grand National Steeplechase.
 It will be one of the most wide open races in the history of the cen tury old fixture if the forecast of clear weather and a fast track holds true.
 Royal Mail, Mrs. c. T. Evans 1897 winner ruled favorite at 10-1, with Arthur Sainsbury's Blue Shirt sec- ond choice at Ill, and James V. Ranks Cooleen next at 100-8.
 Man O. War Represented
 Best liked of the five American owned horses is J. B. Shows Dela- chance at 15-1. The others are: Mrs. Marion Scott's Battleship at 30-1; Robert Lehman's Didoric, and Frank M. Gould's What-Have-You at Sol; and Mrs. Jessie Metcalf,s K.-D.-H., 66-1. Battleship, smallest hSrse in the race, is the 11-year-old son of Man O War. This chestnut jumper and What-Have-You are the only American trained entries.
 The race is four miles, 865 yards, twice around the course over 30 jumps.
 Any one of the 36 entries has 8 chance to win. There is no race in which luck counts so much. A loose horse or 8 bump going over one of the fences may be the difference between winning and losing.
 Royal Mail is the favorite because of his victroy last year and not be- cause of the form shown this spring. The 1887 triumph increased his im- post to top-weight of 175 pounds, and only four horses in history have carried such 8 burden to victory. Performances this year have not been impressive, although his few public outings showed him fit and jumping clearly.
 On the other hand, Buue Shirt, pressing Royal Mail for the favorite's role, has been one of the years lead- ing jumpers. It will be the first Grand National for this seven-year- old brown gelding.
