HEARTS, TRIBES
 IN FEATURE CO.,;
 HILLS VS BAG.
Thomas Club Paired With RecreatiOns PayOff
 Game Next Week

In a trio of games that looks like a series of "breathers" for the three top teams in the City Amateur League, prior to the big hookup next Sunday in which Sacred Hearts and Thomas Club clash in the all- important game of the season, the present league leaders meet the Recreations tomorrow a team that has yet to win game in Il starts. The Hearts have the toughest oppo- sition of the three, in meeting the Tribunes, while the Washington Hills are expected to be able to turn in a win over the Brooklyn A. c.
 Hearts and Tribunes are billed for the feature 3:30 a'clock game with the other two tussles going on at 1:30 p. m. on the Hamilton Park diamond. Bill Stanton and Skiddo Dumschott will officiate the trio of games working together in the finale.
 Upset Due?
 For two weeks now, close observers of the league play have been ex- pecting one of the "under-dog' teams to come through with win that will knock over the Tommies, Hearts or Hills, none of whom have been playing too well. The Tribunes 8 scrappy outfit may be able to turn the trick tomorrow, if they can get some reliable pitching and the boys are able to come through with few hits "in the clutch"
 At any rate, the Tommies should have no trouble holding their three game lead while the Hills and Hearts are figured to hold their own. But, should the Tribes win, the Thomas Club can walk into the champion ship, regardless of the decision on the Jarlett protest, which is still hanging fire.
 Under trying conditions, the league realized a $200 profit from the night game exhibition on Thurs day, featured the Buck Lai Ha- waiians and the North End Thomas Club though $44 went for baseballs, alone. President Ed Fitzpatrick is thinking of booking ouble-header exhibition on some Sunday after noon later in the season. The largest crowd in the history of Hamilton Park attended Thursday nights game, though not more than 2,400 paid to see the game.

tUnited Pres. Stan Correspondent

New York, July 24-UP)- Those of the nations moralists who read the sports pages must certain ly have enjoyed field days on Thursday and Friday, what with the news from Poland, and St. Louis, Missouri.
 The cables from Warsaw brought the news that Poland's two ranking tennis players had been suspended until 1889 for attempting to play 8 doubles match against a Ruman- ian team while in a state of in- toxication and from St. Louis, through the courtesy of Rogers Hornsby, came the information that Hornsby had been fired as manager of the St. Louis Browns because of 8 fondness for betting on the horses.
 There's 8 brace of very drastic punishments for you, and I ques- ton the justice. The cables from Warsaw said that the Polish play CTS, whose Christian names were Kasimir and Walentky, all but kill- ed themselves in losing the first set O-6. Unable to focus on the ball when they swung at it, they missed

1t and banged themselves violently with their racquets. They fell all over one another and the court in pursuit of shots, and on several occasions charged wildly into the net. In short, they behaved after the manner of men in a condition that is variously described, be- lieve, as tight, pickled, boiled, stewed, fried, gassed, tanked, and stiff. They wound up by telling the umpire, when that gentleman tact fully suggested that the match be postponed a day, that they would beat those ol' Rumanians in any sort of condition"
 never have been in this con- dition, being as never allows my self anything stronger than ab- sinthe, which, as you know, is an innocent drink favored with licorice. But several of my wastrel friends, who have been picklde so often they have 8 slight herring cast to their features, tell me that the suf- fering which follows high-goal in- temperance is sufficient punishment for anyone. They spoke of hang overs," and the "jitters," and the screaming hemmies," and said that the Polish players, specially if it were wine they had, undoubtedly underwent tortures enough on the day after to more than square their debt with society.
 As for Hornsby, he gets full sympathy from this corner. For l have played the horses, and I know that man is never in so dire a need of friends as when he is listening to the sad returns from Arlington park, fairgrounds, Santa Anita, Belmont and Hialeah. If ever fellow needs the comfort of staunch companions it is at that moment when word comes down that the judges, after a thorough study of the daguerro types after a photo finish, have decided on the other horse. Not since the thumb screw has there been an invention of torture to match the phot-finish. It is soul-searer, heart-tearer, and general all-'round breaker downer of the human system.
 AS a hoss player, Hornsby has been undergoining these sufferings. Moreover, he has had the Browns to contend with. After a man stays with the Browns as long as Horns by has, it's wonder he isn't play ing the paper dolls, not the horses. I think the directors of the Browns should not only pay his contract in full, but throw in a couple of sure-flre tips in the fourth and fifth at Saratoga for good measure.

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
BRACE E. JARRETT-
 Four Cardinal Hurlers Beat Si Johnson, to 0,
July "A, 1882, at Cincinnati

July "A, 1882, at Cincinnati (This is the best To duel between two pitchers to take place on July 24th.)
 Not until the thirteenth inning did Q run manifest itself in this desperate struggle between Cincin- nati and St. Louis. In this round, .Si Johnson, who had pitche dan ex- cellent game for Cincinnati for 12 innings, fumbled Blades grounder, Ray taking second, from where he scored moment later on Reese's single.
 It was rather pathetic to see Si pitch as he had, and then succumb through fielding indiscretion on his part.
 The Cardinals upheld their end of the pitching assignment equally as well as did the Reds, but 1t took four St. Louis hurlers to duplicate what Si Johnson accomplished alone.
 
 Dizzy" Dean pitched the first nine innings, allowing five hits and passing four, when he was removed for a pinchhitter in the tenth. Syl Johnson, Stout, and Lindsey took turns during the next four innings at holding the Reds away from the plate.
 The Reds and Cards gathered only six hits apiece-good mound work for nine innings, let alone thirteen.
 NOTE: This game ranks as the 28th longest l to o game ever play ed on this date in the major leagues.

TERRY ADMITS
 CUBS ARE TOUGH TN FLAG CHASE
Veteran Charley Root and IS Base Hits Beat Hub-
 bell ll-3
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

@@1-g@AhAs& United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, July 24-CUP)-The Chicago Cubs were riding high toward the National League pennant today with another of their chief contenders in retreat.
 Even Bill Terry feared that the Cubs wouldn't be headed. He shook his head sadly after Chicago had routed King Carl Hubbell yesterday and said:'
 Cad, those Cubs are toughi"
 Even Hubbell couldn't hold the Cubs over the route yesterday. He had them beaten .3-1 at the end of the 3rd and 3-2 going into the 9th but a flood of Chicago basehits swamped him to defeat. The Cubs attack swelled in on Hubbell and Tom Baker in the late innings and when the smelling was over the Cubs had collected IS hits and scored an 11-3 victory. Their lead is now two full games.
 Excellent
 or Charlie Root, going on 39 and now in his 18th year in Cub har- ness, was the hero of the Chicago win. He came in with the bases loaded in the first inning, retired the side and went through the rest of the game yielding only five hits. It was Roots 10th triumph. Joe Marty, Cub rookie back in the nne- up after riding the bench since July g, clouted three singles and a double. Rip Collins homer with a man on of Hubbell in the sixth in- ming was Chicago's big punch.
 The Cardinals beat Brooklyn, Al, as Jess Haines held the Dodgers to 6 hits. Joe Medwick had a perfect day at bat, 8 for B." one of them a triple. Cincinnati won from Phil adelphia, 6-3, Jordan and Hafey hit homers for the Reds. The Pirates and Bees did not play.
 The Chicago White Sox made a threatening gesture at the high flying New York Yankees by knock ing them of, 9-6, and trimming their American League lead to six games. Red Ruffing was belted out of the box in the midst of the White Sox's 13-hit attack. A triple by Mike Kreevich with the bases loaded fea- tured the Sox's offense. Joe DiMag- gio (No. 26), Powell and Rolfe hit homers. Clint Brown had to come to John Whitehead's rescue in the 9th to stop threatening Yankee rally.
 Early Start
 The Boston Red Sox won from Cleveland, 6-2. SouthpGw Archie McKain blanked the Indians until the 9th when Jackie Wilson came to his rescue. The Red Sox rapped Willis Hudlin for all their runs in the first three innings. Six of BoS- tons II hits were doubles.
 Elon Hogsett's 5-hit pitching fea- tured the St. Louis Browns SO victory over Washington. Hogsett hit a homer and double. The Browns made 18 hits of three Washington hurlers.
 Detroit and Philadelphia split a double e-header, the As slugging out a 1894 triumph in the opener. then succumbing 9-8 when the Tigers scored two runs in the l1th inning of the nightcap. Walkers single drove in the winning run.

HAITI MASSACRE.
.ST|RS U. S. QUIZ.
1000 NATIVES Die.
DominiCanS' Act Calls
Envoy From Havana

G.N.S.) The State Department
today awaited word from its min
lister to the Dominican Republic,
Henry Norweb, before determining
a course of action on the reported
massacre of more than 1000
Haitian natives by Dominican
troops in the wild border country
separating the two West Indian
Island republics.
Norweb was hastily dispatched
from Havana, where he was at
tending an international radio
conference, to Ciudad Trujillo,
capital of Dominica. He arrived
there by airplane yesterday.
to- SEE TRUJILLO
While the State Department
said no report has yet been re.
ceived from the minister, it was
expected he would confer with
General Trujillo, the President,
Immediately.
Considerable apprehension was
felt over the new threat presented
to the peace of the Western Hem
iSphere. Dominican troops were
reported maSsing on the border,
but this was denied by Dominican
Minister Andres PaStoriza here.
LOW WAGES A FACTOR
The fear was also held that
Haiti might send troops to exact
repriSalS, or the wild Haitian ma
tives might rise up and take the
situation into their own hands.
The HaitianS were massacred,
according to reports reaching
Washington, because they had
crossed the ill-defined border sep
arating the two tiny republics
and had taken over lands to farm.
The Dominicans also were
angered because the Haitians
caused them to lose tehir jobs by
working for cheaper wages.
