TRIBUNES AND HAYDEN PAIRED;
 BARNFoRD SET.

Three of the most attractive games that ever graced a City Amateur league program are due for produc- tion at Hamilton Park tomorrow afternoon as the popular Sunday circuit moves into it's second week of play after one of the most im- pressive opening weeks in its long history. Stars were a "dime-a- dozen" at the park last week, but with the invasion of Branford, the leagues latest addition, the loop will break out in full brilliance.
 It would be difficult to single out any one game tomorrow and stamp it as a headliner because all three promise a full afternoon of enter tainment. Branford. late of the Middlesex County league, meets Joe Rinaldi's defending championship Aviglianese A. c. on No. l at 1:45; Washington Hills and Aerie of Eagles tangle on No. at the same hour; and finally there will be the Tribune A. C.-Hamden ToWnies struggle on No. l at 4.
 Branford Makes Debut
 Tomorrow the fans will get their first peek at the Branford Town team, piloted by "Whitey" Fair, vet eran player-coach, who has directed the team to 43 triumphs in 62 games over the past four campaigns. "Whitey" has another all-star ag- gregation including Stan Sokolosky, leading hitter of the MiddleseX cir cult, who batted 346 and .369 re- spectively the past two seasons; n- fielder Tot Owens, a standout on the Boston College grid team last season and also a varsity baseball player: Pitcher Ray Blakeslee, North Ha- ven As and Dusty league star: Catcher Harry Paulson, veteran New Haven catcher, power hitter and possessor of a fine throwing arm; and Ken Bunnell, crack out fielder of the Telephone nine of the N. H. Dusty league.
 This is the club that the champs must face tomorrow as they make their second bid for 1945 honors. However, the Italian team looked lCd1lN 1Ol lclSG WCCh III USebV- ing Brooklyn A. C.. 20. They will be at full strength for the invaders with Andy Santillo behind the bat; Hap" Heffernan at first: Al Monti at second; Cunjy Romeo at third; Andy Natowich. former Holy Cross diamond luminary at short; Bob Santillo, Huck Finn and Henry Sabia in the outfeld. While it has been reported that Teddy Grabeck would not be on hand to do the f1inging, Manager Pete Carodazzi of the Avigs was non-committal on that rumor. Cant say much right now" said CoradaZN last night, but Grabeck didn't say that he would not be with us"
 Hills vs. Eagles
 Far from disheartened over his teams 20 setback by the Tribes last Sunday, Pat Quilter will have his Washington Hills fit and ready for their clash with Roy Murphys Aerie of Eagles outfit. Probably no | other two pitchers in the league are capable of putting on a better hurl- ing duel than the Hills Soldier Ralph Bradley and Gerry Flood the New Britain schoolmaster, who will be on the firing line for the Mur- phymen. Both teams were losers last Sunday and both will be striv- ing to crash the win column
 The Eagles have a strong lineup including Lefty Laurandeau and Arnold Nistad, batting heroes of the Bristol entry in the All-Amer- ican tourney last season: Third Baseman Danny OLeary. formerly Of the Contelcos; Shorty Eisen- lohr of Winsted; Buck OBrien, Razor Doran, Felix Longo and Tex Bontempo of New Britain.
 Tribunes vs Hamden
 Just what is going 10 happen when the Tribunes and the Ham den Townies meet on No. 1 at 4 should be worth going miles to see. Both clubs have smart coaches with Harry Melvin at the helm for "Packy" Sheas club and 2"Robby'' Robertson, former New York State league pitcher. doing the master minding for the club which finished third in the Central Connecticut league last season.
 Both teams will show a galaxy of standout performers. The Tribes will have Lefty" Pezzulo on the mound. Lefty Farrar at first; Bob GreatoreX at second; Dionne at third; Joe Shugrue at short: and Chadwick. Kurolowski and Wagner in the outf1eld patrol Hank" Garro of the New Britain Cremos will do the catching.
 Hamden will start the same lineup which upset the Eagles last week with Jack Miller, a South Pacific veteran of IS months on the mound and the veteran Pete Bedding be- hind the bat. Sonny Coughlin will take care Of first, Joe Cresco will be at second, Reed Winters at third, Freddy Sansone at short, and
