 Pond Aces vs. Fairmount at Ham, ilton park. o'clock.
 Bunker Hills vs. Waterville at Washington park, l o'clock.
 Last Sunday only one game was played in the league. The Bunker Hills defeated the West Sides to 5. Colitti held the losers in check throughout most of the game. Only in the fifth was he in real danger. walking three, but a Strikeout and a fast double play killed the Siders' chances.
 The Hills outfield composed of Began, Conway and Duncan set a league record when they went through the game without making a putout.
 The Fairmounts are the only team in the league that was in it last year.
 Jackie Grout, former St. Thom- as player, plays second base for the Blessed Sacraments.
 Our regrets to the Waterville nine on the loss of one of their players last Sunday. It is thought that he will be lost to them for the season. Tough luck, Tommy Garrity.
 Mike Moore, who coached the West Sides basketball team few years back, is now busy coaching the West Sides entry in the league. Good luck, Mike.
 If three players on the Hills have anything to say about 1t, there will be plenty of base hits ringing from their bats. They have friendly bet as to who will have the highest batting average when the league is over.
 Well, that is all except that the Hills will clash with the East End Stars at Bunker Hill stadium today at 2 o'clock.

Jimmy Johnston is back from California and tells all who will listen that his heavyweight, Bob Pastor, Is the greatest fighter in the world. Jimmy will have to have more than letter from his Pastor to get that statement be- lieved. Lefty Grove, a right fair hand at pitching, thil:is Bob Teller will have to change his Wind-up if he wants to last for more than a few years. {. Lefty says Bob puts too great strain on his back, and that some day the muscles are going to refuse to be mistreated any longer. Casey Stengel's work in Boston has proved that he is one of base balls soundest thinkers and organ izers, and clowns only when he is managing clowns. Who said anything about Brooklyn?
