LOOP LEADERS AT HAM PARK;
 3 GAMES TONITE
Seven Games Scheduled for Two Days; BAG. Un-
 defeated to Date

The most appetizing schedule oj the season awaits the City Amateur league fans at Hamilton Park Sun. day afternoon in the weekly con- tests = if 1t doesn't rain.
 For the last three weeks, Ole Jupiter PluviuS interferred with the slate and caused the loop to put twilight games on the books but even they took tossing around.
 Sundays scheduled will bring on the battle for first place, the battle of the North End, the renewal of the Sacred Heart Washington Hill rivalry and battle between a pair of teams who have yet to face each other, the Overlooks and the Mill Plain A. c.
 Therefore 1t isn't without reason that Joe Brophy and h's associates anticipate the seasons largest crowd list because 1t will be the fans first opportunity to see the league con- tests in four weeks and 1t will also afford "go and get 'em baseball" The feature game of the afternoon at o'clock on diamond No. l will bring together the Tribunes and the Brooklyn A. c. in the battle for top honorS for the first round. The Brooks at the present are a half game up on the Baldwin streeters but Packy Shea hopes to have his men up on the coveted top spot before the day is out. Joe Jay is slated for the Brooklyn pitching as- signment while Johnny Harden burgh is listed for the Tribes How ever, Shea plans to have a dark horse on the scene for the contest and It may be Hal Smullen of Notre Dame although no official word has been released as yet.
 Strangers?
 The first diamond curtain raiser will bring together pair of clubs who have never faced each other todate. The contest will pit the Overlooks. the surprise team of the year against the NH Plain A. C.. Stan Heaton LeavenWorth pitcher will be on the hill for the Plain CTS while Jackie Brickel, late of Wilby will bring together the Sacred Hearts and the Washington Hills in reneWance of rivalry that dates all the way back to the found- 1 ing of the league. Junior Carroll. Waterville six-footer will be on the mound for the Hills with Lefty Colo pinto or Freddy Adams of the Bris- ton doing the firing for the Hearts The opener of the dey on the sec- ond field will be the battle of the North End in which the Aviglianese champions of the Public Park league year ago, meets the Thomas club, regular season champs in the loop year back. Freddy Jacaviro or Harp Sullivan will work for the Tommies with Angelo Basile doing the honors for the Avigs.
 Should the Brooks take the meas ure of the Tribes in the days fea- ture it would just about clinch the first round title for the defending champions. However, should the Tribes come out on the long end and the Looks knock of Mill Plain, the Baldwin streeters would assume the top spot with the Looks and Brooks deadlockcd for second. No matter how 1t comes out though 1t Is the hottest first round flag race in the leagues history with first PAo IC Wiui II cUIlhAIlB QLsthIlCc Ol CIC top spot.
 Three Games Tonight With good looking prospects for much better baseball weather this evening, at least three postponed City Amateur League games were expected to be played. two at Ham, ilton Park. and another at Wash ington Park. Washington Hills and North End Tommies will meet on the "hill' diamond at 6 D. m. with two games at the east end field showing the Tribunes and Over looks in one test on No. diamond while the Brooklyn A.C. and Mil Plain A.C. are paired on the No. Z | field.
