TRIBUNES SHUT OUT BY NORTH
 END CLUB 20
Triple By Schultz Wins Best Game of Season;
 Playoff Next Sunday

Slick southpaw singing by Art Nefty) Haas of New Britain and A tremendous three base wallop by Dutch Schultz of New York and way stations, put the North End Thomas club within a game Of an- other City Amateur League baseball championship, as they shut out the Tribune A. c. 20 yesterday after noon at Hamilton Park before 5000 lookers-on. The teams, now ted for first place and the title will play off next Sunday on the same field for the championship which the Tommies are defending and the Tribes are shooting for the first time in IS years.
 Six hits was all that anxious Tri- bune batsmen could get off the left-handed delivery of the easy going Haas, but inasmuch as the pitching of Joey Jay was not too bad either, the situation brings Schultz into the picture, who with a sawed-off bat and ability to Hook lem over" delivered smash ing triple "in the clutch" with the count of two strikes and two balls against him, and two runners ol base. Oddly enough the eligibility of Schultz was questioned by the Tribunes earlier in the Season, the claim being made that he was a semi-pro player who had done duty with the Bay Pathways in New York, and yesterday, the legality of his bat was questioned, the first time he came up to the plate as fourth or cleanup" hitter in the Thomas Club batting order. The protest against him was dropped by the Tribes as was one against pitcher Joey Jay filed by the Tom mics, while the bat used by Schultz was okayed by Umpire Will Stan- ton after short discussion at the plate.
 Tn The Clutch
 Schultz screaming triple was all the more remarkable in that it came with only one strike left for him, the hit landing just inside the deep left field foul line where Tribe outfielder Paul Curry. who played a whale of a game in the garden all afternoon made @ valiant ef- fort to get it but could not as the ball was going like the proverbial bullet. All that happened in the eighth inning, after Haas single through shortstop to short left field, Broberg reached first base on an attempted bunt which took high bound, giving Gus time to get 70 the bag before a throw could put him out; Milvid grounded to Mish- ka, forcing Brobe,g at second but Haas went to third and Milvid held first base. Up came Schultz took a two and two count and then de- livered his game winning triple. after which he was left stranded when Boroway famed.
 Big Threat
 Tn their half of the eighth the Tribunes made great bid for vic- tory when they loaded the bases when Marc and pinch-hitter De- browski singled and Mishka walked. after two outs. Shaw hit a hot one to Bobby Greatorex who got his hands and body in the way of the ball, picked up the pellet and whipped 1t to Gill for the force out to end the inning. Had the ball gotten away from him and 1t could easily have done so, the score would have at least been tied.
 Broberg got two hits double and single, the extra-base wallop being automatic under the ground rule covering hits to right field. No one else on either team got more than single with the exception of the Schultz triple which won the ball game.
 Greatorex play around second base for the Tommies and the fielding of Curry for the Tribunes were defensive standouts. Johnny Jablonowski finished the game as Tribe pitcher. on hit being scored off his delivery: when Martel hit a hard ball into Jab's hands, the ball bouncing off his glove, too lats for a putout.
