The Manchester team is rated as the fastest semi-pro team in the state and has been win- ning games right along this year. The $ilk Town nine rates in a class with the New Departures and Tor- rington and has wins ovér both these teams. The Corbin Red Sox, in stepping into this fast company brands itself as the leading team in this city and should the victory come to New Britain, the team will be without a peer in. this city, For this reason, Manager Tobin asks all players to turn out this evening. Eddie Hein will probably draw the pitching assignment for Thurs- day night. Manager Tobin stated to- day that Eddie has not been in the best of shape but he is anxious to twirl against Manchester and he will probably draw the assignment for the game. The Red Sox will meet the State Hospita] team of Norwich in. Nor- wich on Saturday. This is an annu- al assignment for the local team and means a great deal to the lo- cals. For the'past several years, the Red Sox have been traveling to Norwich and have been taking games regularly from the state hospital nine, This year the team hopes to repeat. Buckland will probably be Manager Tobin's choice for the mound on Saturday. Sunday, the local team will play in New Britain at St, Mary's field. The Falcons will be in Rockville for the day at a big field day there. The opponents for the Red 8ox have not yet been chosen but there are several teams anxious to come here to meet the Sox on a home dlamond and Manger Tobin wili try and pick the best attraction for local fans. The Corbin Red Sox have no open dates for the remainder of the season but are booked solidly through the summer to September. They have games scheduled with Collinsville, Kensington, Staftord Springs, Méchanicsville, ‘Porttand. Essex and Deep River of the Mid- dlesex League and games are pena- ing with other teams which will give the local boys plenty to do this year, HOLE IN ONE. Rlowing Rock, N.
