WIN FOR BALDWIN STREET NINE WILL
 TIE UP LEADERS
Washington Hills and Rec- reatiOns PairedT TOnl-
 mics vS. BrOOklynS

Victory for Tom Conle ey's scrappy Tribunes over the league leading and defending champion Sacred Hearts tomorrow in the feature City Amateur League base- ball game atN Hamilton Park will make a real gallop out of the com petition in the senior local circuit from now on. At present in the second slot of the standing which they shara with the Washington Hills, the Tribes have been going well, but will, of course, need all their guns to dispose of the east end outfit piloted by hustling Harry Melvin, who has visions of leading his boys right into Cleve- land in September to have another shot at the national amateur championship.
 Tribes Won Last
 The Hearts and Tribes hooked up not so long ago, with the Tribes showing enough class to walk off with the g m e by the compara- lively close margin of a single run, the final count being S-2 in which Percy Atwood and "Beans" Mulesky put on mound show that was nifty. All the Tribes have to do tomorrow is repeat the per- formance and they will be right on the heels of the league leaders.
 Hills On High
 Tom Purcell's comeback club, the Washington Hills who moved from the cellar to second place within a month take on the Recre- ations of the North End in one of the pair of 1:45 o'clock games. The Hills, on their present form, should win, and move that much nearer the top. In the. event of the Tribes defeat and w. H. victory the champion Hearts will have an- other angle to worry about. Johnny Di Vito will show with the Hills and do his bit to help the clup win its sixth straight game.
 Brooklyn A. c. and North End Thomas club teams will meet in an early game in which the B. A. c. boys will be the choice to win, though surprises have been plenti- full in the league this season, good pitching having held back the Brooklyns all season.

New I Ofk, July lS.-(UF)-l walked into the Cleveland Indians dressing room five minutes after they had been taken to 9 by the Yankees and asked the sawed-off fellow with the liniment bottle in his hand where Johnson was.
 He said Johnson was taking a shower but his locker was right over there by the door and X could wait for him if I wanted to. It wasn't a very pleasant waiting room, for of all athletes, baseball players take licking the hardest. Of course, I'm excepting women golfers who become a cross be- tween a hooded cobra and a leop- ardess defending its young, the mo- ment defeat rears it's head on the fairway.
 The Clevelands cussed and grum- bled as they dressed. Each hitch in a belt, each tug at a sock, was good for lusty oath. Third Base- man Hale cussed his inability to hit in that eighth inning clutch when the bases were loaded, and a single would have tied the score. Pitcher Monte Pearson cussed his luck for throwing Crosetti and Gehrig those home run balls. Pinch-Hitter Pytlak cussed his lift ing a weak fly to Selkirk. The Clevelands were hot and tired and licked and miserable.
 Then Walter came in from the shower. a 6 x 6 towel wrapped around middle that isn't what it used to be. His face was lined with worry, and his shoulders sagged like those of a tired man.
 "Wanta see me?" he asked as he slapped his back with the towel.
 "Yeah."
 "What about?"
 About your ball club. Whats the matter with it?"
 "Just one thing" he said. Cant win any ball games. And the more we lose the more hopeless we get. Kids can't come back from a lick ing. They lose their confidence. And we've got Q kid club. Look around you and you'll sec what I mean. They look licked, act licked. But there's one consolation. They come out. of a slump quickly as they so in it. A week from now maybe you wouldn't know this team. 4 couple of base knocks here and there, a couple of good pitched games and Of they'll go."
 Did Walter think his club was good enough fo win the pennantf
 ''Dnrn if knows Lord knows it wouldn't take any hell of . great team ko take everything in fhe American this year. There Isn't a really strong team in tho lot. The Ynnkn aren't much. They're sef- iing sweet pitching but ist the

fingers slump little and the yanks will go down hill in a hurry. Their outfleld is lousy, and Gehrig isn't his self at all. Still, they're beating us, so guess haven't any right to run 'em down."
 What about the Tigers?
 "I guess they're the best of a sorry lot. I don't thing they're much of a ball club, but they've got a great manager in Cochrane. And a great catcher in Cochrane, too, and that's what makes a club. Give me that Dickey of the Yan- kees, or somebody as good as he is, and we'd be up there on top."
 asked Walter about Trosky, the young first baseman who burn ed up the league last year with a batting average of .34O, but who now is hitting a hundred points under that. And about Pearson, who won IS fin 1884, and who now has won just three games.
 T wish knew the answers, I never did feel as though Trosky was as good as he was last year, but didn't expect him to drop a hundred points. Pearson's fail- ure is just one of those things. He's pitching as we'll as ever, and can do everything but win. But that isn't much help"
 How were the Cleveland sports writers treating him? Still riding him high, wide and handsome.
 "Yeah, they're still laying it on :"
 Did it bother him?
 "Yeah, 1t bothers me. It would bother anybody. But not too much. I'm sorta getting used to it. It's not interfering with my eating and sleeping. Uh-huh. I'll be back next year. I'm not quitting"

TANK AND TIGER
 CLASH TO BE BIG LEAGUE MAGNET
Four-Game New Y0rk-De. trOit Series May Decide
 Flag Winner
BY HENRY SUPER

(United Press Staff Correspondentl
 New York, July 13-(U.P.)-The first ;'crucial series" of the present season may come July 22 when the New York Yankees entertain the champion Detroit Tigers in four games at the Yankee Stadium.
 The Yankees, riding atop the American League since Memorial Day, gradually are finding their lead being whittled down by the Detroit nine.
 The Tigers, almost exactly a year after they snatched first place from the Tanks and went on to win the pennant, are driving for the lead after occupying every position in the leag this year but the top.
 And now, only a game and half behind the Tanks the are ready to strike as they did a year ago.
 Both teams have been matching each other during the past week. The Tigers, after a ten-ganne win. ming streak, dropped a game to Washington and then returned to form with victories Thursday and yesterday.
 The Tigers rescued their game yesterday from the Washington Senators in the eighth inning when Greenberg's single scored Foxx for 2-1 victory.
 The Yankees trounced the Cleve. land Indians 5-2. Lou Gehrig's homer in teh fourth with Chap. man aboard proved to be the wiri- ming marker.
 The Chicago White Sox whipped Boston's Red Sox, 13-2, as they blasted four hur.ers for IF hits.
 George Blaeholder blanked his former teammates as the Philadel. phia Athletics triumphed so over the St. Louis Browns.
 The St. Louis Cardinals and Phil- adelphia Phillies were rained out. The other National teams were un. scheduled.
 Yesterdays Hero: Hank Green- berg, whose eighth inning single won for the Tigers and kept them still game and half behind the Yankees.

NEW PLAYERS TO PEP UP PLAY IN
 PARKS CIRCUIT
C-C Juniors May Meet Better Competition in
 Second Round

Having been forced to postpone the start of second round games in the Public Parks league, last week due to. wet grounds eight teams with break from the weather man hope to start to- morrow afternoon.
 The same schedule as was drawn up for last Sunday will be put in effect for tomorrows games. Wa terbury A. c. and the c and C.. Jrs. contest scheduled for Water- vile park tops the days banner att traction of games.
 Sunday Schedule
 Games scheduled tomorrow: Full ton Park, 1:45 o'clock, North End Hillies vs American Legion; 4 o'clock, St. Stanislaus vs Wilson's. Umpire Greece, scorer Santopietro. Waterville Park: 1:45 o'clock, Washington Hill Bears vs Hamil- ton; 4 o'clock c. and c. vs Water bury A. c. Umpire Sloss, scorer Faley.
 c and c Jrs, the leagues only all- Italian club capped the first series, but may find the second series go- ing a little more rocky than in the first series. With almost every club having added new players a merry chase is inevitable, with the Wilson's, Hillies and Waterbury A.. c. hines making strong bids for honors.
 The Waterbury A. c. club is de- termined to turn back the c. & C., thus averaging for the 6-5 defeat handed to them in the opening round by the Italians. Members of the Presidents have been looking forward to this return battle and are out to beat the c. & c. and get off to a flying start in the second round. Bob Wookey, ace five-ball finger who has yet to lose a game for the Presidents, will be on the mound, in hopes of stopping the Italians victory march. Berardi or Guerrero will probably face him. A banner turnout of fans are expect ed to ascend on Waterville for this important game.
 Two hard-hitting clubs will op- pose one another in the Fulton park feature, when the Wilson's and St. Stanislaus clash. The Wilson's is the only club that threatened the c. & c. teams chances for honors in the first round, while the Saints, although never in the running, showed plenty of batting punch and should go places in the series. Either Benson or Overton will pitch for the Wilson's with Ko- ciezowski on the rubber for the Saints.
 Bears vs. Hamiltons
 Herman Bernier's Hamiltons who made an excellent first half showing, will open up the series tomorrow afternoon against the Washington Hill Bears with plenty of pepper" The Hamiltons have one of the best outfits in the league and with any sort of a break may land in the top post. Dunn is slated to pitch for the Hamiltons against Marcellus of the Bears.
 Stevenson of the American Leg ion will oppose Ed. Koslosky when they clash with the Hillies. The Hillies at present are playing better brand of ball and should be right up there in this series. The American Legion has the makings of a winning ball club. Its big fault lies in its inability to play good defensive game. They have banged out a ock of base hits, but wasted them in their efforts to pick up the ball and get the win ners out.

 The stifling heat proved a little too much for any active baseball yesterday and as a result there were only two games played, one at Fulton field in the midget loop which had its official opening un- der the supervision of James Lee. while the other tilt, a midget bat tie at Waterville under the guiding hand of Carl Schoenmehl, vile su- pervisor.
 The tile atthe 'ville ended in a protest with the score tied and will be relayed this morning, ac- cording to ruling made by Carl. More details of the contest will be forthcoming later.
