TRIBUNES, HILLS IN B. 3. FEATURE
 OF CITY LOOP
AbrigadOr Rivals Clash at Hamilton St. Anns vs.
 St. Stans on Parks List

With the oflcial standing of the competition in the City Amateur league straightened out, and the Sacred Hearts on top of the heap with six wins and no defeats, all that was necessary for continuance of. scheduled play in the loop to- morrow afternoon was Q break" from tho weather man. In the { o'clock feature, engagement number 6430 of "the battle of Baldwin St" will be run of, with the Washington Hills and Tribunes tabbed for action on the first Hamilton park diamond. At 1:45 o'clock, the North End Thomas Club will try to kick over the dope bucket at the expense of the defending champion Hearts, while the Brooklyn A. c. outfit, in second place and just now finding" itself will try to add to it's accom- plishments at the expense of the Recreations.
 Washington Hills, Hearts and Brooklyns are the favorites to win, though the play of the Recs in re- cent weeks has been such as to fairly label them dangerous" to a supposedly superior outfit that takes them too lightly.
 Public Parks League
 In the Public Parks competition, the St. Ann's All-Stars and St. Stans master minded by Ted Ols- chefski will provide the best action, according to form. They tangle in a { o'clock game at Fulton park. North End Hills and GO Juniors are down for 1:46 o'clock appointA ment at Waterville park, while the Wilson A. c. and St. Lucys, which should also be Q lively game, are to meet in the 2 o'clock game at Fulton park.

Merrirnan schools baseball team annexed the championship of the Public School league yesterday when Harp Sullivan edged out Nick Mobile of the B. w. Tinker school in a thrilling pitchers duel 2-l. Both fingers gave Up but three hits but Sullivan was more effective in the pinches despite the fact that the Town Plot hUrler famed eight batters two more than Sullivan.
 Score In Fourth
 The initial Merrimall run was scored when passed ball in the fourth allowed a tally and the de- ciding marker was chalked up in the next canto, a slow roller being handled too leisurely and Q run scoring as a result.
 Mobile had the chance to win his own game when he hit a steam ing drive to right field and then attempted to score when the Mer- riman first sacker, Porta made a spectacular catch of a similar line drive. He was thrown out at the plate and the run that might have turned the tide of victory was checked of.

TEAM
 WANT JULY 4 GAME

Manager Harry Lynch of the Thomaston Pontiacs is seeking a game for July 4 with one of the bigger local teams. Negotiations with the Sacred Hearts of the City Amateur League fell through and as other teams seem difiicilt to contact and to arrange satisfactory dates Manager Lynch has decided that none of the local teams are very anxious to face the first round champions of the Valley League.
 The Pontiacs will meet the Anso- mia Acorns in the closing first round league game on Sunday at 3 o'clock at the Sanford avenue field.
 Any teams desiring of booking the Pontiacs for game on July 4, morning or afternoon, are asked to contact Harry Lynch, High street, Thomaston.

DEAN AND GROVE. SET TO START
 ALL STAR GAME
Mccarthy and Grimm to Choose Ten More Play-
 CTS; Fans Pick Squads

 United Prass Stan CoFrespondent)
 Boston, June 27.--(UP) Starting lineups of the American and Ma tional League teams which meet in the fourth annual all-star game at National League field July 2 were taking shape today following selec- ton of g of the rival players by nationwide poll.
 Though Managers Charley Grimm and Joe Mccarthy (batting for the ailing Mickey Cochrane) are to se- lect five additional players for each squad, it's safe bet that with one or two exceptions the "furst string CTS" will come from the l national leaguers and 16 American Leaguers picked by popular vote.
 It appeared that the National League all-stars would take the field for baseball's biggest one-day show with none other than the great Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals logging 'em over; Big Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs behind the plate; Bill Terry of the New York Giants on first base; Willie Herman of the Cubs on sec- ond; Arky Vaughan of the Pitts bufgh Pirates at shortstop; Pinky whitney of the Phillies at third; Ducky Wuky Joe Medwick of the Cards in left field; Valley Berger of the Bees or Frank Demaree Of Chicago in center; and Mel Ott of the Giants in right.
 Ready To Go
 And if the fans who gave him 40,- $40 votes have their say, Lefty Grove of the Boston Red Sox will take the hill for the American Leaguers with Bill Dickey of the New York Yankees behind the plate; Lou Gehrig of the Tanks on first; Charlie Gehringer of the De- troit Tigers on second; Luke Appling of the Chicago White sox at short stop; Jimmy Foxx of the Boston Red Sox at third base (you can't put both Oehrig and Foxx on flrst); Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees in left field: Earl Averill of the Cleveland Indians in center; and Ray (Rip) Radcliffe of the White Sox in right.
 southpaw Carl Hubbell of he Giants, Van Mungo of the Brook. lyn Dodgers and Lon Warneke Of the Cubs will be on hand to relieve the great Dean, who led all other players in vote-getting with 4l,900 ballots. And after Grove has burned lem over for the allotted three in- nings, Vernon Gomez and Monte Pearson of the Yankees and School boy Rowe of the Tigers will be ready to take the mound.
 Others to make the all-star teams were Outfielder Joe Moore of the Giants, Second Baseman Stuart Martin of the Cardinals and Catch- CT Ernie Lombardi of the Cincinnati Reds in the National League; Out flelders George Selkirk of New York and Ben Chapman of Washington, Third Baseman Pinky Higgins of the Philadelphia Athletics, and Catcher Rollie Hemsley of the st.. Louis Brown in the American League.
 Catcher Gus Mancuso of the Giants, Third Baseman Wilbur Brubaker of the Pirates and Third Baseman Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox got enough votes to make the respective squads but had to be re- placed because of the provision that every team in the circuits be rep- resented. Chances are all three will be added to the rosters by Grimm and Mccarthy, who are to pick i've additional men apiece by Monday.

CARDINALS AND
 CUBS AGAIN IN !.
 FLAG STRUGGLE
Chicago Pitching Best in National l-PirateS Pass
 Giants Again '

New York, June 27-(UP)-Once again the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs are at close grips for leadership of the National league lead, forecasting another hot pennant chase right up to the clos- ing days of the 1886 campaign.
 Strength of the Cub pitching staff is easily seen in the fact that only three times in their last 21 games have the Cubs been forced to give a pitcher relief. In contrast, the Cardinals have had to use two, three or four pitchers a day in IA of their last 2l contests. Five of the seven times that'a St. Louis pitcher started and finished, during that period, 1t was Dizzy Dean.
 However, young Jim Winford gave evidence of hitting his hot weather stride against the Brooklyn Dod- gers yesterday, keeping nine hits distributed as the Cards won 6 to 1 to keep half a game ahead of the Cubs who batted out a 3 to 1 decision over the New York Giants behind Curt Davis six hit hurling.
 Reds on Edge
 The Pittsburgh Pirates took back third place ahead of the Giants, by besting the Boston Bees 3 to 1. Cin- cinnati's Reds took their fifth straight game. slugging out an il to 6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
 In the American league, the Cleveland Indians edged out the second place Boston Red Sox 8 to 2 when Joe Vosmik's home run cleared the pavilion in the 10th.

Spin And Pace should Vary

Spin And Pace Should Vary
 As soon as 8 player has become familiar with the fundamentals of stroke production, and has acquired @ reasonable amount of steadiness in keeping the ball in play, he should learn to vary the pace and spin of his shots.
 Spin, as we learned while devel- oping our ground strokes, is depen- dent upon the method in which we stroke the ball with the racket, causing the ball to bounce in an ab- normal manner. The tilt of the racket-face, and the course which the racket takes during the swing determines whether the ball will carry top-spin, under-spin, or slice.
 Pace, on the other hand, is
 not spin. Pace is the forward
 momentum of the ball as it is
 projected through space. I'm Or-
 der that pace may be obtained
 it Is necessary to reduce the
 spin tO minimum, as spin
 greatly lessens the speed of the
 bali. This is generally accom-
 plishcd by hitting the bali with
 . flat racket-face, as in the
 case of q flat drive. In other
 words, the less we turn the
 racket-face, as in the case of .
 flat drive. I'm other words, the
 less we turn the racketface over
 during the follow through, the
 more speed and pace will Dc ob-
 tained.
 What every player should strive for is a blending of spin and pace Of course, to some extent a play CTS choice of strokes are governed by the type of stroke his opponent is using. but even in view of thil fact, one should never base one'i game on spin alone. or pace alone Neither spin nor pace is effective unless varied.

GUAM, Oct. is G.N.S).-Forced
to turn back to Guam by bowling
winds encountered shortly after
the China Clipper took off for
Manila on the last leg of this pre-
inaugural passenger flight Of the
Pacific, we eight newspapermen
did a bit more sightseeing here
today while Capt Ralph Dahlstrom
and the Clippers crew Of seven
studied weather reports.
We hope to take off again at
dawn tomorrow.
FringeS of the devastating ty-
phoon, which Wreaked havoc
throughout the Philippines, met
us less than 400 miles out on
the 1,500-mile jump. After try
ing to dodge the storm at high
and low attitudes, Captain Dahl

He discovered that the wind was
bowling at 5000 feet as much as
at several hundred feet above the
ocean.
