IUEOUHI EVE
 Tn the play-off games of July IS (Friday) scovill vs. scmers, scovilI protested and at a meeting of the protest board held on July IT, the protest board voted 3-0 against the protest. That put Sorners and Wa terbury Tool in the final playoff which will take place on Tuesday night, July 24, 6:30 p. m. Hamilton park, diamond No. 1, with Stance and Creighton to be the umpires> The winner of this one game vii be the American league first roune champion.
 In the games played last weel there were three shutouts, two oi them leo and one 5-0 and the othei two were decided by two run mar. gins. The standing at present show Waterbury Tool leading the Amer. ican league with a two win record and all other teams have lost one with the exception of. French whc have lost both their games in the second round and last week they really lost a tough one to Tool 1-t in 8 innings as did Bill Rado's Rub. Der team to Waterbury Cos. by the same score. From the above t would seem that all the boys are on the beam so we can look fol some real close games from here in
 The top game for family rivalry is to go on Hamilton No. 2 wher Chase Metal and Waterbury Manu- featuring tangle. In the first rounc the Brennan Boys beat the Manu. featuring company 20 in hard fought game, and as these teams have a record of 1-1 in the second. 1t will be a big help to the Factory to win and close up the step to the top.
 Keen Rivalry
 Bill Rados' gang will try to hand it on Tom Dillon's crowd the same as they did in the first round. Hardy Brownell shut out U. S. Time and only allowed them one hit in the last meeting but the Timers say things will be different this time as they have some additional strength now.
 Waterbury Companies and French both turned surprise games last week so anything can be expected when these boys meet. In their first meeting this year they played long game that ended finally in tie.
 Somers beat the Hosemen their last time out but the Day gang has a better balanced club on the field now, as Whitey Miscavage will have to be in good shape.
 Last Tuesday the National League games were all rained out, making 1t four nights this season they had an enforced postponement, but these games will be all played as soon as diamonds are available.
 Farrell came in with a win their first time out this round in very well played game and will try to continue the same at Ray Cozen's Scovill (Waterville) boys expense. John Bowler's Benrus gang goes on their merry winning way but they will be meeting a different Lux team this time as the team now has MT. J. Kennedy as their new manager, Gene Crandell having had to relin- quish the reins due to business pres- sure and being out of town SO much. Eyelet Speciality has won their last five games and are out to make 1t six over Tom Marvin's Brass Men, who have also won their last five in a row. Chromium lost a tough one by one run their last time out and c. L. & P. did also, so their meeting will put one of them in the win column and both managers J. Murphy and J. Hovey say 1t will be them, so take your pick.
