Mary's Field Sunday Disappointed when their game with the Elm City Colored Giants of New Haven was cancelled a few weeks ago because of rain, the Fal- cons have scheduled the game for this coming Sunday at St. Mary's Field. This is considered to be one of the blue-banner attractions of the season. The Giants have been travelling at a fast pace this year and have al- ready scored notable victories over some of the best teams in this state. A schedule of games to be played in the Girl's Industrial Basebal League, has been drawn up and ac. | cepted by members interested in the |league. The season will open play at Walnut Hill park next Monday night at 6 o'clock and will come to a close on August 24. | Four teams are entered in the league which will play soft ball un. der the rules of outdoor baseball. The teams are the New Britain Ma- chine, Stanley Works, North & Judd and Fafnir Bearing. The schedule is as follows: Monday, July 16—New Britain { Machine vs. Stanley Works. | _ Friday, July 20—North & Judd vs. | Fatnir Bearing.

The late afternoon rain yesterda soaked the field at Willow Brook park and prevented the playing of the Inter-Church _baseball league game between the Everyman's Bible class and the Stanley Memorial team. The league championship may be decided Friday evening when the Bible class tackles the §t. Matthew's German Lutherans. The St. Matts are in front by one game and a vic- tory over the E. B. C. would mean the first-half title. A Bible class vic- tory would mean a tie and a possible play-off. The game will be played on Diamond No. 2. The First Luth- erans and Trinity Methodists will play on Diamond No. 1 on the same evening, with the First Baptists tackling the Stanmors. The second halt of ‘the league will begin next Monday. 4 ENTERS HEAVIER CLASS Chicago.
