Hearts Must Win To Stay In Pennant Race
ABLE TRIBUNES
 FACE RUNNER-UP CLUB ON SUNDAY
BroOkIyns and OverlOoks Meet at 2 P. M.; TOnl-
 mics vs. Hills

One game out of first place in the City Amateur League, the Sacred Hearts must defeat the tough Trib- unes Sunday afternoon in the fea- ture game of triple header at the Municipal Stadium, in order to re- main in the fight for the pennanC picture to the finish. The North End Thomas club, on the other hand, must win from the Washington Hills to hold their one game edge, II the Hearts come through, while the Brooklyns, down to third place since losing to the Tommies last Sunday, have the next to last OverlookS to contend with.
 Time schedule for the games is as follows: Thomas Club-Washington Hills, 12 o'clock noon; B.A.C.-Over- looks, 2 p. m.;; Sacred Hearts-Trio-, unes, 4 p. m.
 EdmOnds vs MarianO2
 Frankie Edmonds, Naugatuck ne- gro and a heavy hitter, is almost certain to be the starting pitcher against the Hearts, who have Bob Mariana of Naugatuck and Dom Guerrero to counter with. The bor- ough battery of Mariana and Row. ley was winner last Sunday against the Hills. The Hearts will be favored to take the game, but an upset is quite possible in this par tlcular contest, which if it occurs and the Tommies win as expected, will give the leaders a two game edge with three weeks to play.
 Brooklyns and Overlooks at IS the game that may produce the most fireworks and provide the best play. n order to lose no further ground, the Brooklyns will probably have Roy Johnson on the mound against Verno for the Looks, in a game which may develop some heavy stickwork.
