GRADY LOSER OF TOUGH GAME AS MATES MESS UP
Thomas Club and Tribunes Easy VictOrs Over
 BAG. and Recs

Three losing teams scored but two runs between them yesterday as the Sacred Hearts, were 20 Shutout winners over the Washington Hills whose pitchers, Grady and Creddo held them to two hits; the Thomas club held its two game lead by a 9-1 win over the Brooklyn A. 0. and the Tribunes knocked over the un- resourceful Recreations by a 10 to 1 decision. The Hearts win put them just one game back of the second place Hills while the Tom mics hold a two game front, one game of which is uncertain due to a decision to be made on the Hearts protest of the use of Al Jar- lett.
 Two Run Game
 Wild heaves over first base and Bill Flanagan's solid single to cen. ter provided the Hearts with two runs in the third inning which proved to be the long and short of all scoring for the game. With two out the Hills got runners on second and third in the eighth inning, when Coach Happy Shea removed Grady for himself in a pinch- hitting role, which proved unavailing as he struck out after 3 and 2 count. Burnham's second base play for the Hearts was excellent, while Razor Doran was tossed out of the game for yelping too much on fly ball decision on Bowen's hit to right field.
