M|DDLEBURY IS
EXPECTED TO
MAKE'TROUBLE'

-
The "croocial" season is still at its
height in the City Amatur League
as the clubs head down the stretch.
Tomorrow. topping another attrac-
tive three-game slate, is the clash
between the league-leading Wash
ington Hills and Jack Days Mid
dlebury Club with Pete Naktenis on
the mound. The game is scheduled
for the feature spot on No. l field
at 4 o'clock.
Although first place Is far out of
their grasp, the Dalymen plan to
cause lot of trouble to the first
division clubs and are confident
that they can cut full game off
the Hills two and one-half game
lead on the morrow. The Middies
were a vastly improved ball club last
Sunday as they proceeded to clip the
wings of the high-fying Aviglianese
who also have designs on the title.
With Naktenis, the big left-han-
der, who won eight and lost eight
for the Milwaukee Brewers Of the
American Association in 1912, on the
mound, Manager DAILY is predicting
that his men will continue their
climb back up the ladder. For the
Hills, Pat Quilter has Dizzy" Deck
er ready for action tomorrow and
the rest of the lineup will be the
same that has carried the Hills to
the top.
Co-feature of the Hills Middle
bury affair on No. 2 at 400 O'Clock
will be the much talked-about get
together between "Packy" Shea's
rapidly rising Scovill E. R. A. out
fit and Tony Romaniello's Avig-
lianese. Manager Romaniello claims
that every club is "hot" when they
meet his club and Manager Shea of
the opposition doesn't deny it.
Nothing personal said Manager
Shea last night, they're all the
same to Scovill's" The defense plant
nine has won it's last two games
since Shea became pilot.
Hopeful
In spite of their heart-rending
setback at the hands of Scovills
last week, Milt Weisman and his
Naugatuck Highlanders will be gun
ming for a win over Johnny HoWard's
Sacred Hearts. The Scovill defeat
was a hard pill for the Naugatuck
Club to swallow, but Manager Weiss
man asserts that "it will be different
from here in" Said Weissman last
night. well still catch the Hills
and beat them for the title on the
final day."
Johnny Howard, Sacred Heart
pilot. although faced with a record
of only one win in ten games, con-
tends that it's going to be great fun
in the final round against the not
teams.

follows, one change having peen
made from the original announce
