HEARTS, HILLS
 IN FEATURE GO
 OF GAL. SLATE
Important Game at Hamil- ton Park Sunday; TOm-
 mics vs B. A. (.

Out to protect their second-place standing until the next meeting with the league leaders, the Wash ington Hills have a tough hurdle to get over tomorrow afternoon when they meet up with the Sacred Hearts in the main game of three City Amateur League contests booked for Hamilton Park. In sec- ond and third place now, the Hills and Hearts are booked in a really important game, the result of which will have 8 bearing on the league leadership, inasmuch as the Hearts protest of the Thomas Club victory when Al Jarlett was used, Is still hanging fire.
 Promising
 Walter Malins for the Hearts and Bob Grady for the Hills will prob- ably be the opposing pitchers while the game will be umpired by Bill Stanton and "Skiddo" Dumschott, who will work game apiece prior to the feature tilt. Stanton will handle the North End Thomas club and Brooklyn A. c. game and Dum- schott gets the Tribunes and Rec reation tilt earlier in the day.
 A full game in front, the Tommies are expected to hold that advantage at least with a win over the Brook lyns, though the Hills have the real job to hold the rupper-up post, as a win for the Hearts will put them back in a tie for the second spot. The Tribunes are expected to win from the Recreations who have been beaten nine times and have yet to win a game.

New York, July 10.-CUP).-He stands six feet four in his spiked shoes, runs as awkwardly as a hen, and he probably will be the worlds premier miller by the time the sun goes down tomorrow night.
 I refer to John Woodruff, the hu- man clothespin from the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh. John already is the champion of the world at 800 meters, and I. c. A. A. A. A. title holder at half that. Tomorrow, on the cinders of the Randall Island track, snuggled beneath the girders of the mammoth tri-boro bridge, John will take a flier at 5,280 feet which, unless m ythird grade teach CT was up to some foolishment, con- stitute Q mile.

Romania, Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke, and all of this countrys other noted milers. Tomorrow will tell, because all these boys will go to the post with Woodruff, de- termined to teach him that he stepped out of his class. =
 I am of the opinion that John will show them thing or two. I never saw John run but twice, but that was enough to convince me that he was the galloping-est thing on two legs in the world. The first time I saw him stride was in the serli- finals of the 800 meter at Berlin last summer. I was standing by window in the American dressing room deep in the bowels of the great Reichsportfeld stadium: Wood- ruff, who was suffering from a cold had been told to take the serl1i- final race in stride, and do no bet- ter than assure himself of a place in the finals. So he loafed along and durn near was shut out. , l was still in the dressing room when John came in, holding his chest. :.
 T felt miserable out there today" he said. My chest hurt" A
 The trainers began prescribing high sounding tonics but John dis missed them curtly:
 T know what to do for myself" :" he said. When was 8 little boy my mama always made me eat 8 pint of honey for a cold. Tonight out there at the dinner table, will snatch myself a bottle of honey and drink it." q, It must have been powerful honey because he went to town in the final. His rivals pocketed him half dozen times but this didn't bother John. He would simply swing out the pocket, run to the outside of the track, and start throwing those long legs of his. He must have run 900 meters in winning that race-but he won 1t in record time. .
 John also won a place in my book with the salute he gave when he was summoned on the winners stand to get his medal and tree. Not sure of just what kind of a salute he should give when the national anthem was played, John gave all the salutes known to mankind. He gave of the Esperanto salute. It must have pleased everybody, be- cause 1t was a mixture of the fascist, nazi, soviet, French, English, Aln- erican and Scandinavian. And, through 1t all, he grinned Q grin aS wide as a watermelon.
 I'll just climb right out on my old familiar limb and predict that he wins the mile. .

NO CHANGE IN MAJOR LEAGUES AFTER WILD DAY
DiMaggiO Has Great Hit ting Spree - Red SOx
 Trip Athletics l2-ll
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Corresponds

NSAAAS~NA = ASOS OSSAA SVAASSPSAheASAANl
 New York, July 10.-(UP).-From Yankee stadium, New York, to Sportsman's park, St. Louis, major league ball parks echoed today to 8 crashing crescendo of base hits.
 In the greatest offensive day of the 1897 season, total of 128 runs and 203 hits were made in eight games. That's an average of l6 runs and 25 3-8 hits per game.
 Some of the high spots of yester- days batting carnival were:
 The Tanks were high in runs scored with 16 and Brooklyn tops in hits with %.
 Joe DiMaggio, Tanks frozen- faced Sa nFrancisco Italian, belted out two home runs, triple, double and single and drove in seven runs in "5 for 5" day.
 The Waner boys, Paul and Lloyd, of Pittsburgh each had perfect days against the Cubs. Paul got 4 for 4" and Lloyd 8 for 3" to score four runs and to drive in three.
 Odds and Ends
 The Athletics, with a pitcher in left field, one in center and e third pinch-hitting, made 19 hits but lost a wild and wooly Thinning battle to the Red Sox, l2.ll.
 There were % errors-lS in the National and Il in the American an average of over per game, with the usually steady New York Giants 1eadinp fha dav with dvn
 The attacks of the Giants, Cubs, Phillies and Washington completely stalled as those clubs failed to join in the batting carnage. The Phils couldn't even score. The Cubs made only one run, the Giants and WaSh- ington two each.
 After all this slugging and whole sale clouting the pennant races re- mained status quo with tn eCubs holding their two game advantage over the Giants and the Tanks re- taining their 5h game margin over Detroit.
 A fist fight between Jake Powell, ex-Senator now with the Tanks, and Joe Kuhel, Washington first base man, enlivened New York's l6-2 triumph over the Nationals. Powell jared Kuhel at first base, and the Washington player slugged Powell. It took half a dozen players and umpires to separate them and then they were put out of the game. Monte Pearson went the route to score his sixth straight victory.
 Detroit won its fifth straight, de- feating Cleveland, l0-8. Rduy York hit a homer with two on for the Tigers. Dixie Walker hit homer, triple and single as the White Sox

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
zBY BRACE E. JARRETT
Wagner Scored Only Run of Chesbro-Dinnen Duel
July 10. 1901, ct Pittsburgh

July 10, 1901, ct Pittsburgh (This is the closest low score con- test between two pitchers yer played on July 10.) '
 Bill Dinneen and Jack Chesbro engaged in a thrilling twelve inning struggle, neither allowing an op- ponent to cross the plate until Din- neen himself made an unfortunate wild throw to allow Wagner to score in the Pirates half of the twelfth.
 This is how Boston lost a real heart-breaker, game fraught with many high tension situations: with Bransfield disposed of, Wagner hit to Lowe, who threw wild to first, Honus taking second. Richey sin- gled, Hans going to third, from where he scored when Dinneen made a bad toss to first to catch Richey of the bag. After almost pitching his ar moff, allowing only four hits in this long game, it was pathetic to see Dinneen the direct cause of the loss of it.
 Jack Chesbro permitted fifteen safe blows, but kept them well scat- tered, and became invincible once . runner was within hailing dis tance of home. He did not give free transportation to or hit one of Frank Selee'S players.
 The game abounded in fine field ing, but the outfielding of Man. ager Fred Clarke. the inflelding of Wagner and Demontreville, and the backstopping of Trimmer and Kit fridge stood out above the rest.
 NOTE: Just fifty-two longer leo pitching duels have been played in major league baseball.
