GREAT ARRAY OF PITCHING TALENT
 ON TAP SUNDAY
North End Thomas Club and OverloOks in Fea=
 lure; Hills vs Tribes
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

According to present plans, hopes and ambitions, City. Amateur league teams will display the great est array of pitching talent seen in this city for a decade, when the 1888 season for the six senior teams gets under way Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park. What is more interesting is that the talent seems to be pretty evenly divided, and with reports on certain other star players considered, the coming pen- nant gallop looks like very wide open affair with at least three of the six teams having more than a good chance to displace the North End Thomas club from the title and go on to Pittsburgh in September for the annual chance at the na- tional championship.
 Pitchers Galore
 Of course, managers themselves cannot be positive that the men they have contacted will be on hand, but most of them are reasonably certain that they are "set" for the opening and that there will be very little or no last minute switch- ing as was the cast last season. Now for the pitchers: the Sacred Hearts will show against the Brooklyn A. c. with Irving Segal on the mound. Segal is a Jewish boy, right-handed pitcher and pretty fair hitter in the clutch. who was sought for the Day. ton tournament last year especially after the Tommies had won the first two games. He was a Stand- out with the Savitt Gems of Hart ford last season.
 Johnny Taylor, the left-handed negro boy who also pitched for the Savitts ill such sensational man. ner that he attracted some national attention, is said to be ready to go for the Washington Hills, while the Tribunes who will be managed by Harry Melvin this season, and op- pose the Hills Sunday at 1:30 D. m., will come up with Flood, New Britain Cremos dependable last sea- son. The Tribune infield will also show Fay Vincent at first base, Miska at third and probably Alex Mazzarella at second base.
 Klinky Klarman, top-notch semi-pro pitcher with New Haven teams for several seasons, who also had a tryout with the Boston Bees will wear an Overlook uniform in the local league this season while Harrington of the Bridgeport Auto motive Twins, who was called by Cleveland of the American league is also said to have been signed by the Tribune board of startegy, which, if true, gives them two top-line twirl- CTS capable of putting the Tribes in the pennant chanse where they have not been for some time.
 Good Umps
 What with Bill Stanton, Jerry Miller and Skiddo Dumschott signed up for umpiring duty and every team bolstered for the race, it looks like last ditch battle for the title, which will probably be decided in the Municipal Stadium on Water town avenue, late in August or early in September.
 Tonight, the managers and of- ficials Of the league meet at the YMCA to clean up minor details of opening day Schedule calls for Tribes and Hills at 1:30 on No. l diamond, Stanton and Dumschott to umpire; Sacred Hearts and Brooklyns on No. diamond, Miller umpiring; Tommies and Overlooks at 3:30, on No. 1 diamond, Stanton and Dumschott to call 'em. Ex- hibitoin games will be played Sat- urday afternoons one of the latest to be signed being the Webster, Mass, Boosters, featuring Nellie Twardzik, high school girl, who outplays many boys and is quite a hitter, too 'tis said. She attract ed national attention when play ing for Webster high school about year ago.
