locals, With Two Vic-
 tories, Oppose Michigan l Team Tonight
BY JoHN A. CLUNEY

Dayton, Ohio, Sept. l2--Out to win their third straight game in the 1887 national amateur baseball tournament, the Waterbury cham pion North End Thomas club team were ready and confident of reach- ing the quarter finals when they were drawn against the Dearborn, Mich, team, tonight as third round game to be played Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock (est) at Tri- angle park. The Dearborn team was a IA to 6 loser to Pontiac today in Q second round all-Michigan con- test.
 Dispute Settled
 More than 8 little altercation de- veloped at this evenings drawing at tournament headquarters in the Biltmore hotel. Before the oppo- nents. of the Tommies were made known. Attorney Frank Summa of Waterbury attended the drawing with Manager Harry Melvin of the Thomas club and when the Brass City barrister objected to the meth- cd of the draw which seemed to fa- vor the Dayton team, he was threat ened with election from the draw ing room. But, as the saying is, cooler heads intervened" to quiet the verbal dispute between Summa and Ben w. Hudson, tournament chairman and Dayton police serg- cant. Hotel New Yorker team of New York city, already Arst-round loser drew the third round bye, which means that the seven unde- feated teams in the tourney, includ- ing the Tommies, will swing into acc tion Monday afternoon and evening.
 Manager Harry Melvin had not decided upon his starting pitcher late tonight after Arv Segal and the boys pinned a l0-1 setback on Cock Eidernborn team from Fayette coun- ty, Pa., but the choice was figured to lie between left-handed Charley Keeley and the husky right-handed flipper, Wally Berg of Washington. the idea being to save his ace, Arr thur Red" Haas for the all-im- portant quarter-f1nal tests. Should the Tommies come through with their third victor, which will tie the best record yet made by a Wa terb,ry team in a national tourna- ment.
 .. Dribbles From Dayton
 Assuming that Bristol Andy Pa- lau Is a member of the Binghamp- ton team of the New York-Penn league next season, he may 2, team mp with Red" Haas as a battery for the Empire staters; as the able red-head who left Alexander City, Alabama down with four hits to win the first game for the Tommies is expected to sign with Binghampton before the season rolls around.
 Scout Bill Doyle of the Detroit Tigers was keenly disappointed when he was unable to sign two of the Tommies, Shortstop Luddy Jasilunas and Centerf1elder Ray volpi who have already been tied up for future delivery to the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Lack of weight and height prevent ed him from putting Detroit tag on Catcher Joe Marc, too, so 1t looks as though the popular Tiger ivory hunter struck out with the bases loaded thus far, insofar as the Wa terbury team is concerned.
 Bobby Greatorex, Tomn1ies second sacker made a putout of a line drive in Sundays test with the team that won no-hit game on Satur" day which proved to be the turning point of the game just as the Penna county team had tied the score and had two runners in scoring position, after Pitcher Segal got into @ tough spot. It was the sweetest play of the game and came at time when chips were very much down and the teams were fighting tooth and nail for the lead which the Tom mics took in the next inning to win in e walk knocking fine pitcher, Roy Hutchinson out of the box in the eighth innning, though the losers really beat themselves with half dozen errors by infielders that were nothing short of cruel.
 Jasilunas will report for spring training to the Boston Red Sox, while Volpi goes to Dartmouth col- lege first, and then to the Tanks or one of their farms.
 Third -baseman Mickey Fill, jaw bulging to amazing proportions with that good old Mrs. Miller's cut plug, drew this wise-crack from Dayton fan today: "Hey, you, have you got the paper in your mouth as well as the tobaccop" Maybe he meant the Cincinnati Enquirer which came around today with a nifty 56-page Sunday edition.
