CRABECK, DECKER MOUND RWALS;. CUP FOR CROSBY

 of the most elaborate programs ef the City Amateur League campaign will be presented for the edification of what is expected to be a record turnout of fans. There will be a variety of activity including two league games. one, the much heralded playof of last Sundays rained out championship tilt be- tween the league leading Washing ton Hills and the second place Avig- lianese A. O.; program of field events in which league players will compete; a presentation of the coveted Al Kellie trophy by sports writer's committee to representa- tives of Crosby High school; and finally the much talked about re- newal of the annual burlesque ball game between the Hardly Ables and the Annapolis Motormen, an event originally created by the late Al Kellie himself.
 The headline act of the matinee will be the clash between the Wash ington Hills and the Aviglianese in which the Irish and Italian clubs will resume their bitter battle of last Sunday which was called off just as the darkness of an im- pending storm fell across the field which was being overrun by irate Aviglianese followers in the top half of the fifth inning with the Hills leading to 0. Not since the days of the razor-edged rivalries be- tween the Brooklyns and teh Hills has anything been perpetrated in the City League to match this new feud between the Hills and the Avigs.
 Grabeck To Go
 TomorroW's meeting of the teams will be their third of the season and will also be the rubber" game, each side having won game. After runaway of the first half Of the season. the Hills were given their first setback by this same Italian outfit with their doughty lit- tie pitcher, Sailor Ted" Grabeck on the mound. Grabeck who won a place in the hearts of local fans with a heart-breaking and losing 18-inning exhibition for the Brook lyn A. c. at Youngstown last Sep- tember, has been the spring Of the play of the Avigs this season and is the figure with whom the Hills will have to reckon tomorrow.
 The assurance of his appearance here fov the Hill game is the chief reason why the Aviglianese have gradually moved in the wagering from an 8 to 5 underdog early in the week to a to favorite on the eve of the game. If the Avi- glianese win tomorrow the league championship will be prolonged un- til next Sunday when the Hills meet Naugatuck.
