Meriden, BrasscO Series Opens Tonight
FLOOD, GRABECK MOUND RIVALS
 FOR BIG CAME

The biggest natural" of the City Amateur league season. one of the hottest races in recent years. Is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at Hamilton park at { o'clock when ''Packy' Sheas Tribune 4. C. and Tony Romaniellos Avigiianese A. C., both tied for second place. clash in a contest which will go a long way towards deciding the pennant hopes Of both clubs. The game has been washed out twice. one of the larg- est crowds of the season turning out for it last Sunday only to have Jupe Pluvius put an end to hos- til.ties after the husillng Avigs had set down the favored Tribes in rapid fashion in the first inning.
 With each postponemont. the Tribes Avigs meeting has taken on added interest with speculation on Rll sides as to the outcome Of the game although the club from lower Baldwin street is favored in the bet- ting because Of the decisive whip ping which "Packy" Shea's outfit meted out to the Italian boys in the inst round. However. it will be vastly improved Aviglianese crew which will face the Mullen coached nine tomorrow.
 Opposing boxmen will be Gerry Flood for the Tribes and Teddy Grabeck for the Ayigs. two of the outstanding twirlers in the circuit. The infields are without peers in tlle Sunday circuit with the Ayigs probably having a slight edge of- felsively. The Avigs will have Hank Doneski at first. Johnny Alfone al second. Joe AlfOne at short and ~conjy" Romeo at third while the Tribes inner-works from left to right will read. Yokza. o Brien, Mul- lea and Heffernan.
 In the outfieli the Tribes will shcw Razor" Doran in right. John ny DiVito in center. and Walsh in left. The Ayigs outfield is compris- ed of Santillo, Sabia and Mele. The umpires for this all-imporiant game will be Bill Stanton behind the bat and Leno Castaldo on the bases.
 In the opening contest Of the afternoon at i:45, the third round will be ushered in with another meeting between the Washington Hills. present league leaders. and the Brooklyn A. C. which scored its first victory "Wednesday night by shutting out the Naugatuek Thomas club. In spite Of the lowly position Of the Brooks. manager Pat Quilter has lined up several new players for tomorrow including Lefty verder- ame. AB Bomber and 3rassco riicheT. Leno castaldo will call the balls and strikes while Joe Ocon- nor works the bases.
