SHEA CLUB MAY
PROVIDE UPSET
IN HEADL|NER

Another trio Of fine baseball
games are on the books for tomor-
row afternoon in City Amateur
league competition. At this time
mathematically speaking, one OF
four clubs, the Hills, Avigs, High
landers, and the Middlebury aggre-
cation is liable to take the title
which not so long ago was thought
to be securely in the grasp Of the
Hills.
The situation can be either allev-
lated or made more complicated at
the completion of tomorrow's tits
as either the Avigs or Naugatuck
will be out of the running after
their tilt, and the Hills security on
the top of the ladder may be in
danger after their clash with the
Scovill nine, which has yet to lose
a game in the second round.
The opening game on the slate
pits Jack Days Middlebury nine
against the lowly Sacred Hearts, at
las on the first diamond. Tut
Flood, newly appointed coach at
New Britain high, will be on the
mound for the Middies while john
ny Towards crew will pin their
hopes on the shoulders of Dick
Redman, sensational Bristol high
school twirled. Although the Hearts
are anything but pennant conten-
der this season, many OF the fans
at the weekly offerings are of the
opinion that they are due for win
and wouldn't be at all surprised If
they give the pennant hopes Of the
Traskmen quite Jolt.
Pitchers Duel
On the second diamond at 4
O'Clock the tie for runner up spot
will be broken when the Naugatuck
Highlanders and the Aviglianese
cross bats. Both teams sport rs re-
cords and pitchers duel between
Hal Smullen of the Naugy nine and
the Avig's Teddy Grabeck is ex-
pected to ensue. Milt Weissmans

pectations in recent weeks whereas
the Avigs, comparative darkhorse
nj earlier contests, are now in
position to take top position in the
Sunday circuit providing they get
by the Highlanders today
Baseball fans from Scovill's Mill
Long plant will turn out en- masse
when the team representing their
recreation association meets the
league leading Washington Hills in
the feature contest at 4 o'clock on
the first diamond. After very
poor showing in the first and
second rounds when they won only
two of their nine starts the S. E.
r. A. boys engaged Packy Shea to
manage the squad and with an en-
tirely new group Of ball players have
taken their last three starts in the
third round and will be out to add
the Hills to their growing list OF
victims. Shea will probably call up
on veteran Johnny Hardenburgh
to oppose Ray Dizzy" Decker on
the hill. Tomorrow's contest will
mark the final appearance of Bobby
Ray in the city league for the dura-
ton since the popular Scovill in
fielder enters the armed services
within the coming week.
