AVICS VS HILLS
 AT STADIUM IS
 RATED TOSS-UP

The City Amateur Leagues "big show" moves into the Municipal Stadium bag and baggage tomorrow afternoon to usher in the third and final series of the l944 season. The present stretch drive" promises to be the hottest on record with three clubs, the Washington Hills, Avig- lianese A. c. and Tribune A. C.. closely punched near the top, each and every one figured to have a 50-50 chince of winning the cham pionship.
 While hundreds of fans who jour- ney to Hamilton Park every Sunday afternoon will no doubt be disap- pointed because of the shift to the Stadium, nevertheless the league was glad of the opportunity to lend its cooperation to Promoter George Mulligan since it would have been necessary for him according to his contract with the Park Department to have the 5000 bleacher seats hauled back to the out east field and then back to the Stadium next week because of the fight postponement.
 The splendid facilities of the Sta- alum however. should provide an ideal setting for tomorrow's twin bill which will be featured by a { o'clock meeting between Pat Cutters league-leading Washington Hills and Tony Romaniello's fighting Av- iglianese who last Sunday upset the Tribunes in as spectacular a ball game as has been seen in the City League in many a campaign. The opening game of the matinee at l:45 will witness a clash between the Tribune A. c. and Otto McCann's luckless Naugatuck Thomas Club.
 Attraction
 The Avigs-Hil clash is a ''natur. al" as the result of the happenings the past two Sundays which saw each score important victories over the Tribes. The Avigs are a half game out of first place. The Hills rode to victory on a tremendous home run clout by Al Hinds of Fort Adams two weeks ago while last Sunday, brilliant fielding by the Avigs and a sudden collapse of the Tribes in the lith inning, sent the fans home talking to themselves.
 Manager Pat Quilter of the Hills announced last night that he will have his club at full strength for the amazing Avigs. Spearheading the attack of the defending champs will be Bomber Ar Hinds, whose timely hitting put the Quiltermen back on top of the league two weeks ago. And in a surprise announce ment. Manager Quilter stated that Ray Dizzy Decker, who was A. w O. L. last Sunday, would be an the mound tomorrow against the Itai- ians. The rest of the Hills lineur will find big George Slokas behind the bat. Lefty" Farrar at first Maurice Burke at second. Ted De. Francesca at short. Joe Quilter al

FIVE TOP TEAMS FIGURE IN AL.
 "DOG FIGHT''
BY CARL LUNDQUIsT United Press Staff Corresp0ndent)

Limited Press Staff COrrespondent)
 New York, July 2S-(UP)-Give the oBston Red sox one more con- sistent winning pitcher to help Tex Hughson shoulder the load of the stretch drive and the "bat-happy' Cape Cod sluggers might yet make a runway of the American League pennant race.
 Stake the Cleveland Indians to another heavy hitting outfielder and they might do the same thing. The Yankees might make the grade with steadier infield and the Detroit Tigers could go places with little more all-around punch.
 Then take the St. Louis Browns who are practically short on evey- thing and there they are in first place without visible means of support"
 Their heaviest hitting regular is young Vernon Stephens, whose .298 average is llth in the league. Best Brownie pitcher is Nelson Potter, serving Q term in the American League ''dog-house" after umpires gave the ball the saliva test. There is conjecture that his record of nine victories and five defeats 10th in the league-may suffer when he returns after his suspension, be- cause the arbiters will be watching him closely.
 The Red Sox are first. the Indians second and the Bowns fifth in team batting. Afield. Cleveland leads, Boston is second and again the Bowns are second division" in fifth place.
 Manager Luke Sewell of the Bowns coined no phrase when he suggested that pennants are settled in the won and lost columns but maybe he knows what he is taking

Gothan1's finest. the New York Police baseball nine, invades the Municipal Stadium tonight to bat- tie Fred Davis Brasscos under lights starting at 8 o'clock. Regarded as the most colorful travelling club out- side of the majors, and easily the busiest. The Cops will be making their first appearance in many years, their last appearance being against the Brooklyn A. c.
 Manager Davi will call on Nor man Red Branch, former Yankee hurling star to halt the locals win- ming streak. When informed of the assignment last night, Red" retort- ed T have an old score to settle with Babe Buthman and his gang and nothing pleases me more than to know that the pleasure is mine" Branch spoke highly of Bili Car roll, the former Fordham pitching ace who Is slated to oppose him on the mound for the New Workers.
 With his strongest lineup ready to shoot against the Cops including Cy Block, former Cub second sacker; DkAA SOhAAAcOhl, eA~ dkakce WOIA0 series third base star; Aaron Rob- inson: another former Yankee farm hand: vern Rehia at short; Howie Hack behind the bat; and Goose" Rossomondo, Manager Davis had only. one concern. He hoped that the reaction to last weeks lighting equipment trouble would not offset the appeal of tonight's splendid at. traction.
 Lights Overhauled
 Bright and early last Monday morning. Davi had lighting equip ment experts at the Stadium and during the course of the week the entire system was given a complete overhauling and the local promoter given guarantee that he would not experience any further trouble.
