TRIBUNES AND
 THOMAS CLUB IN FINALE SUNDAY
Managers Vote to Curtail Expenses-Brooklyn
 Dodgers Here?

Feeling that the playing out Of third round scheduled games involv- ing any other teams but the lead ing Tribune A. c. and second place North End Thomas Club would en- tail unnecessary expense which would not be offset by enough sup port from the fans, managers of the City Amateur Baseball league voted last night to wind up the season Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park, with a game between the Tribunes and Thomas Club for the champion ship. The game has been scheduled for 3:30 D. m., on No. diamond.
 Owning full game lead, the Tribunes can cop the crown with another victory over the Tommies, but the latter can force a play-off if they take the Tribes. In other words, the lower Baldwin street out fit has two shots for their first championship, while the Tommies must make good Sunday -or else. Oddly enough, the Thomas Club is the defending champion, while the Tribunes have never won 8 title at Hamilton Park.
 New Secretary
 Ray Tram, manager of the Sacred Heart team which did not show last Sunday and lost a 90 forfeit to the Brooklyn A. C., was voted into the secretary's post, vacated by Johnny Pilla several weeks ago. Plans are in the works for the showing of the Brooklyn Dodgers in an exhibition game at the new athletic field on Watertown avenue, If possible.
 Protests Killed
 In order to clear the decks for tho "big" game of the season, protests filed by the Tribunes and Tommies relative to ineligible players have been dropped by mutual consent with all hands concentrating on the game at hand. Low gate receipts for two of the past three Sundays prompted the move to move up the title game rather than have the league entail any unnecessary ex- penses, four of the six managers agreeing with the proposal of Pres ident Ed Fitzpatrick. Manager Bob Kiersted of the Overlooks, did not vote, while the Washington Hills were not represented at the meet ing.
 As the league stands now, the Thomas Club and Tribune tilt is about the only one on schedule cap- able of attracting much attention and possibly fair-sized gate" at Hamilton Park for there is but one game difference between them. The Sacred Hearts and Brooklyns are tied for third place, while Washing ton Hills and Overlooks bring up the rear.

 New York, Aug. 3-(UP)-The yellow baseball was given a trial by a jury of it's peer-ers yesterday, the peereres being the Dodgers of Brooklyn and the Cardinals of St. Louis.
 The trial resulted In a hung jury. Some of the players condemned 1t, some voted for acquittal, and others said it looked no different to them than the standard white ball which has been in use since Abner Double day laid out the first diamond In other words, the first major league test of the new yelloW-hued ball did not result in any definite verdict as to the adVisability of its general adoption.
 The yellow ball Ws devised by Frederick Rahr, a great humani- tarian who thought it's high visi- bility would lessen the danger of players being hit by pitched balls. Players evidently have no high re- gard for their skulls because not one of them mentioned the safety factor Of the yellow ball when dis cussed it with them in dressing room and dugout.

 Babe Speaks Up
 T didn't even know it was yellow until somebody fouled one down there by me. The color don't make no difference. It's the guy who's chucking 'em at you that counts. When good pitcher is throwing that ball they all look like aspirin tablets"
 Burleigh Grimes, the man with ! the barbed wire beard, liked the colored ball, said he could follow it from the bench, even during that split second when 1t streaked past the shirts of the hitters. Burleigh thought it would be great help to the hitters when the pitcher was working against white back ground of shirt-sleeved bleacher boys
 Ducky Medwick, the Nationals mightiest hitter, wasn't too enthu- siastic, but admitted that his failure to get but one scratch single might have something to do with the way he felt.
 Tt seemed sorta soft to me" { Ducky said. Tt didn't seem to have that hard clicking feeling L.iat the white ball does. Yet it must be live ly enough because that homer of Mixes went as far as any he ever hit

'Ch'~NN hNoo OtUhI &UhhCbPUbuChbI
 Chicago, Aug. 3.-UP)-Clay Bryant picked up ball one day down in Birmingham, Ala, and a guy said to him: You can really throw that apple"
 Everybody kept saying the same thing to Bryant but he never could win ball games. Then he found the magic touch. Today he is one of the greatest right-handed pitchers in the National league.
 With Gabby Hartnett coaxing him behind the plate, Bryant pitched the sweetest game of his major league career yesterday-a two-hit shutout over the New York Giants. He not only pitched the Cubs to a TO victory but he beat King Carl Hubbell. The triumph narrowed the margin between the second place Giants and the third place Cubs to game and half.
 Hubbell got the first hit in the sixth off Bryant, who throws one of the fastest balls in either league. Mel Ott doubled in the seventh for the second and last hit off the tall, curly-haired Cub pitcher.
 Bees Winner
 Pittsburgh lost its second straight game when Johnny Lanning of the Boston Bees held the National league leaders to four hits and en- abled the Boston Bees to score a 3-1 victory. Rabbit Warstler's scratch single drove in the two runs necessary to win the game.
 The Cincinnati Reds kept pace with the Cubs, who are only one game ahead of the Rhinelanders, by defeating the Phillies. 32.
 Johnny Wander Nicer won his 18th game although relieved by Paul Derringer in a ninth inning jam. Wander Nicer gave up eight hits.
 Using a yellow baseball stitched with red, the Brooklyn Dodgers de- feated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2, in the first game of double head CT. The fans and Dodgers thought the ball was easier to see. The Cards didn't like it, they lost. In the second game, using regulation baseball the Dodgers again won, 9-3. The twin triumph enabled the Dodgers to climb into fifth place, one percentage point ahead of the Bees. Dolf Camilli hit two homers for the Dodgers in the nightcap.
 Going Down!
 The New York Yankees had their American league lead cut to a game and half when they lost to the Detroit Tigers, 4-3. The Tigers got all their runs off Lefty Gomez, jn- cluding Charley Gehringer's home run. Rookie George Gill held the Tanks to eight hits, winning De- troit's ninth game in ten starts.
 Cleveland picked up game on the Tanks by trimming the Boston Red Sox, "A. A homer by Ken Keltner and doubles by Bruce Camp bell, one of the greatest money players on the Indians, and Bad News Hale and Jeff Heath were the deciding punches.
 Washington beat the St. Louis Browns, 5-3, and the Chicago White Sox won from the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-4. in the other two American league games. Gabby Street, Browns manager, protested Washington's victory because of a collision between Umpire Harry Geisel and Billy Sullivan, racing home on a close play.

Place of Pianos

The piano, once the accepted tenant
of every drawing room in the United
States, has been on the way down as
a bit of household furniture, the thirty
ninth annual convention OF the Ma

out today. The sessions close this
afternoon at the Mayflower.

plight Of the piano, because they man
ufacture the cases in which pianos are
shipped. Once piano-box making was
a prosperous enterprise, but it has
dwindled, and now automobile
making is far ahead of it.
The men who make the shocks for
caskets (the shocks are the separate
pieces of a box which later are fitted
together) sent delegates to the con-
vention, as did manufacturers of boxes
for bombing planes and boxes for pills.
