 The opener brings together the North End Tabs and the Immaculate Conception. The Immaculate Con. ception team who have been set. backed in oil their games have con- siderably strengthened themselves by thes adding of key men where needed and with the hurling of Johnny 0oldon, colored lad. The North Finders who defeated the South End Bulldogs last week hope to retain their urbeaten status until the winding up of the second round. Urbain Philibert will handle the double-header with Jimmy Smith keeping score.
 The feature game shows the South End Bulldogs mixing it with their chief rivals namely: the Abri. gades. Although the South End Bulldogs defeated the Abrigades in the first round, Mgr. Jimmy FuScO's aggregation has been strengthened by the pitching Of Red" Delaney and Bobby Blay. The South Binders will depend upon their capable pitching of Red" Delaney and Bobby Blass. The South Enders will depend upon their capable pitcher, Johnny Reardon, to capture this vital game. Both teams suffered defeats in last week games and to- inorrow's contest should proved to De Q very exciting game.

Representatives OF the ILWU, the

OoiIlt QllllCulty was anticipated
in determining the fundamental
gains claimed by the unions as
