 EARLY GAME

Twin headliners grace tomorrow's City Amateur league slate at Ham, ilton park as the red-hot race moves into it's seventh week. One of the clashes, Tribune vs. Washington Hills will mark the opening of the second round while the early after noon tilt at 1:45 between the de- lending championship Aviglianese A. c. and Roy Murphy's Eagles will be a postponed first round affair. Both games are expected to attract record crowd to the outeast field. The third league game of the day is set for Branford where Joe Bruno's Townies play host to Einar Robert sons Hamden outfit. The Brooklyn A. c. draws bye.
 Victims of the seasons biggest up- set at the hands of the Brooklyns last Sunday, Harry Melvin will have his league-leading Tribes on edge for their crucial setto with Pat Quilter's high-geared Hills Unbeat- en in their last four games and bol- stered in all departments for the stretch drive, the Quiltermen are considered equal to the task of meeting out defeat to the lower Baldwin street bevy who have one of the most powerful aggregations that ever left the barrier in the City loop.
 In recent weeks however, the Hills have quietly acquired lot of strength through the signing of such standout performers as out fielder Al Hinds, the Camp Edwards baseball luminary; Bill Slim" New berry, the big Arkansas hurler with the cork screw delivery who is temporarily stationed at the Boston Navy yard; George Dixon, broad shouldered, hitting third sacker from Hartford and Nonny Zazzaro, late of the Contelcos at short. Newberry will probably get the nod from Coach Quilter to face the league leaders.
 Full Strength
 The tribes will be taking nothing for granted henceforth according to the "pep' talk which the league leaders got following their workout at Hamilton park last night, and | will have their strongest lineup in readiness for the crucial battle with the Hills. There has been some spec ulation after the blasting which he received from the young Brooklyn club last Sunday whether or not Lefty" Pezzullo still possesses enough pitching legerdemain to puzzle the Washington Hill slug gers. It has even been bruited around that Coach Melvin would start Lefty" Perzen, ace hurler of the crack New Britain Fafnirs, to- morrow in stead of the Bridgeport southpaw.
 Perzan broke into the lineup as an outfielder last Sunday but did so merely to become eligible. Coach Melvin will also have Johnny Greg ory of Seymour at his command for pitching duties.
 Tn rest of the Tribe setup will be Joe Sugrue at short, Bob Great orex at second, Jake Banks in right "Augie" Augustine at first, Curry in center Chadwick in left, Dionne at third and Hank Garro behind the bat. Leno Costaldo will umpire behind the bat with Joe Mobile on the bases.
 If the Hills do upset the Tribes and the chances are far from re- mote, the winner of the Avigs- Eagles clash will find themselves in 8 tie for first place tomorrow night. The game is a first round encounter and thus both may still bring in new players. While the Avigs are re- ported to be satisfied with their present strength, the Eagles have lsigned several newcomers who should make the fraternal outfit second tc none in the league.
 Roy Murphy will pitch either Gerry Flood or Dig Decker against the Italian outfit with Yosh Kimel the squatty Pratt Whitney chucker as Coach Joe Rinaldi's choice to kepe the l944 champs in the thick of the fight. Avigs followers were at a loss to understand the selec- ton of Bill Rolling to face the Hills last week m lieu of the splen- did performance which Kimel turned in the previous week.
 Both clubs are strong on power hitters, the Eagles with Gus Lau- randeau, Tex" Tetrault Danny o. Leary, Felix Longo and Arnold Mis-
