IT ribes and HeoFfs in PM. Game

Just enough rain has fallen for the past pair of Sundays to spoil opening of the City Amateur Base ball League season plans, with the result that the schedule had to be changed for tomcrrow's hoped-for inaugural. Mayor John s. Mon- agan will throw out ball before the feature game, which will of ficially get the season under way df it doesn't rain again. while league president, Clifford McHale has arranged for a parade of play CTS, officials and past presidents of the 23-year old baseball circuit, which started in 1923; the Wash ington Hill Cardinals winning the first c. A. L. championship.
 Tribes vs Hearts
 |. Sundays scheduled feature game at 4 P. M on No. 1 diamond at Hamilton Park involves the defend ing champion Tribune A. c. and the Sacred Hearts, capatined by Joe Begnal. With Lefty John Pezzulo of Bridgeport and Bill Petrilas of Naugatuck as its strongest battery the Tribes are again expected to put up great drive for the cham pionship, and successful defense of the title won last season, after which the Tribunes competed in the All-America Amateur Baseball Association national tournament at Harrisburg, Pa.
 However, Coach Pat Cutters Washington Hills are talked about as one of the teams likely to give the Tribunes a tough tuSsle for top honors, from opening game through out the season; for, in Hartford,S Joe Qggy) Miller and the west ends Ralph Bradley, the Hills be- lieve that they have two pitchers who will hold their own with any sort of opposition Bradley shut out Middlebury of the Pomperaug League Thursday night, giving but two hits, hitting a home run, and easily winning by a GO Shutout score.
 Captained by Ray Begnal, a bona-flde Sacred Heart boy, and showing several experienced play CTS whose names the management wouldn't divulge, the outeasters will be an inspired ball club which should give 'Packy" Shea's crew a stiff opening-day test. Returning to the league for the first time in three years, the Hearts have the solid backing of east end fans and merchants alike.
 A "Natural"
 Washington Hills and Brooklyn A. C., traditional Waterbury sports rivalry going back 40 years, comes up tomorrow in the form of a scheduled league game on No. l diamond, to start at 1:3O P. M: while Franco-Americans, a new league entry this season will be :. paired with another new team, Florio Post, Italian American War Veterans at 80 P. M. on the No. 2 HIP diamond. At 4 o'clock on the same diamond, North End Thomas Club and Aviglianese, two teams from the same section of the city, will have it out for the first time this season in league competition.
 A few dozen new players, as well as several veterans of c. A. L. com petition will be seen in action each Sunday at Hamilton Park, indi- eating one of the best years of play since original competition began nearly quarter of a century ago.
 Supervisor of umpires, Leon Cos taldo will meet with his co-worok- CTS, Charley Guglielmo Paul Ba- rome and Charley Gerace, at P. M. for an official huddle before the men in blue'' take the fields for the first time this season at Hamilton Park.

Two Teams Toke PorochioI Lead

A six-inning tie game, without a run with St. Mary's and St. Jo- Seph's as the rivals and a 6-5 vic- tory for St. Thomas over St. Mar garet's featured Parochial League baseball play yesterday. In an- other game, Hank O'Dea's SS. Pe- ter and Paul and St. Francis Xavier have now won of 6 games, while St. Mary'S, coached by Hary Mel win is now half a game behind them, because of the scoreless tie yesterday.
 Close Finish
 St. Thomas had to come from behind 2-4 lead by St. Margaret's s to win the best game of the day, de- cided by Beland's hitting of a home run and 8 pair of singles; which helped produce runs in the third inning, just enough to win the game.
 German of St. Mary's had giv- en but two hits and Zumkus of St. Joseph's allowed four, but no score resulted through the sixth inning, when too much rain stopped the game. Johnny Stafstrom turned in a nifty mound job for St. Francis as he allowed the St. Ann batters but one hit. Oulette and Blair hit hard for SS. Peter and Paul in its 1O-4 win. Scores

Point System
 To Be Junked?

Tomorrow afternoon State Ath- letic Commissioner William J. Prince of Bridgeport will meet with his staff of boxing referees in New Haven for the principal purpose of discussing and possibly discarding the "5. point system" of scoring boxing bouts in Con- neCticut, that has been in force since the ring sport was legalized in this state many years ago. Mistakes in addition and other discrepancies relative to scoring by the referee have come in for much criticism in recent weeks, particularly in New Haven where one decision was given a boxer that subsequent checking of the card revealed should have been given as a draw. Another draw decision was given after cOnsid- erabIe delay in scoring the bout, which excited a go0dIy number of ringsiders to a point where police action was necessary! after which the state commissioner, who is not particularly in favor of making a "bOok- keeper" of referee, decided to call huddle of his ''third men" with the gen. eral idea of developing 8 method of awarding 8 boxing decision that will take pressure off the referee, and yet arrive at a fair decision for all concerned. If the point system is discarded, which is likely. the referee will score 8 bout ROUND BY ROUND, or not score each round at all; but simply give his decision imme- diately after the bout Is con- cfuded to the boxer he believes was superior to an opponent from a standpoint of agressiye- ness, clean hitting, defensive abil- ity, and physical condition.
