Speaking of Sports Mike Lynch will get his first chance to act as umpire tn the East- ern League today when he takes an arbiter's position in Hartford in the double header with Springfield. This is an excellent occasion for the local man to break into the league because it {s th® biggest day of the year at the Capital City grounds. Jim Clarkin, owner of the ' team, will be honored at Clarkin | Field today on the 25th anniversary of his connection with baseball. The day will also mark the dedi- cation of the new stands erected ‘ vince the old ones burned down. Celebrities in the baseball world will be on hand to watch the games.

The old man took a lacing the last time the members played against him. A few strokes up was the general rule rather than the ex- ception. He, however, is biding his time until the players get after him again tomorrow and he promises an interesting session for them all in tomorrow's event.
