EDMONDS TAMES LEAGUE CHAMPS AS TRIBES WIN
Colored Hurler Silences Tommies Bats Stopping
 7=Game Win Streak

The smallest turnout of the year saw the biggest upset of the season yesterday afternoon as the second division Tribune A. c. stopped the seven-game winning streak of the North End Thomas club at Hamil- ton Park, 2 to 3, thanks to some real effective pitching by Frankie Edmonds, colored Naugatuck young ster, who held the previously unde- feated league leaders to seven safeties which he kept well scat tered.
 Tommies Start Early.
 The Tommies nicked Edmonds for a run in the second and another in the third, but the lower Baldwin Street aggregation came back to knot the score in their fourth when they pushed over two markers, fol- lowing 1t up with two more in the sixth and clinching the game with three in the eighth. Meantime the North Enders tallied another, their last, in the sixth.
 Joe Strokalaitis, dean of league twirlers, gave up the same number of hits as his younger opponent, but the Tribes punched theirs at more opportune times. Gene CzapLcki, another Rubber Towner who re- gently had tryout with the Bing- hampton Triplets of the Eastern League, led the attack on Stroke with three in three while Mickey Bowen, veteran third baseman, hit two in four. Billy Petrilas, catcher of the Tribes, walloped homer as did Steve Boroway of the los:rs who returned to the lineup after being out with injuries sustained against the New York Cops two weeks ago Bossy Harnick and Bobby Stevens got two apiece for the Tommies.
 Hills Lose Close One.
 Johnny Kirel, former Brooklyn A c. hurler, opposed his ex-mates yes- terday in a Washington Hill uni form and gave up but eight hits ano four runs, but the best his team mates could do against Roy John- son was seven hits for two runs The portsider held the Hills score. less the first even innings, giving up but five hits. He famed 10. F Mccormick and Pruscino led tht IB. A. c. attack with two hits apiece while Keane got two hits for the Hills.
 Hearts Easy Winners.
 Betting Frankie Marcellus and Bos Malone for 13 hits, including homer by Hank" Gagain, the Sa' cred Hearts walloped the Overlooks "Beans" Mulesky gave the Looks but five hits, two of which were oil thu bat of Joe Verno. Mulesky had si' strikeoutS to his credit.

-
 Manager Joe Cronin of the Bos- ton Red Sox, manager of the American League squad, has not an- nounced his lineup, but it seemed certain that he would throw New som, fireball king of the Detroit Tigers, in against the National League at the start. Rules of the All-Star game prohibit any pitcher going more than three innings, so Ruffing and Teller probably will get a shot at the National League.
 Jurges Out
 Manager Bill McKechnie of the Cincinnati Reds, leader of the Ma tional League, withheld the aI1- nouncement of his starting pitcher, but 1t appeared that he would pick one of his own aces-Paul Der ringer or Bucky Walters who pitch- ed the Reds to the pennant last season.
 Injuries brought last minute changes in both squads. Bill Jurges, still suffering from being struck on the head by a balyl, is not ready to play and his place will be taken by Eddie Miller, fielding Wizard of the Boston Bees. Hank Leiber, clouting outfielder of the Chicago Cubs, also may not be in shape, but he has not ofhcially been withdrawn. Red Rolfe, third baseman of the Yam kees, is not in shape and his place will be taken by Cecil Travis of the Washington Senators.
 The American league has won five of the seven All.Star games played and that fact, plus the speed and cunning of Newsom, Eel Ter, and Ruffing, made the Ameri- can Leaguers favorites Cronins starting lineup may be:
 Foxx. lb; Bordon. 2b; Boudreau ss: Neither, 3b: Joe Dimaggio, of; Ted Williams, of; Greenberg, of; Hemsley, c.
 Medwick Starter
 Against that powerhouse team McKenchnie might throw this line. up: Mccormick, 1b; oCscarart 2b Miller, Il; Lavagetto, 3b;' Medwick of; Terry Moore, of; Ott of; Lom' bardi, c.
 National league partisans believe this is the year they will get bacl into the running and point to heii 2 to 1 victory in the spring all-sta' game at Tampa this year.

 Eddie Loftus did not reach the us- ual caliber in his tossing, because he was in hurry to fill the date he had.
 Jack Delaney, Little Joe," Harry Simpson, Roller" Ryan and Tom Reyes, sure had an eagle eye peeled for ringers as they were frequently missed between gams. Where were you hiding, fellows?
 Mike Kitchner and Joe Courtney struck it rich when they took three straight games away from Don Daly and Joe Dunn.
 "Joey" Bowen made the statement his team will be leading within two weeks, and he is going to start his motorized fifth column blitzkriee soon as he gave his men quite a pepe talk.
 Chairman Loftus was very much put out Monday night because oi the hube crowd of spectators anc one of his secret agents came 1T with a report that Martin Cream and Barney Burns of St. Thomas had confederates getting a line or the Patrickmen.

whereabouts to come down in front, and that would require plenty of hitting and pitching.
 Lefty Gomez appears through. Marvin Breuer begged down. Att ley Donald and Steve Sundra prob ably never again will go on winning sprees such as they enjoyed last season, yet the pitching, generally speaking, has been good enough.
 But it has been clearly demon strated that even the Yankees carl- not afford to carry an All-America out such as Crosetti is at present.
 Babe Dahlren went along with the momentum satisfactorily in 1889, but the New Workers now miss the runs batted in by Lou Gehrig.
 GREAT NEW YORK CLUB CRUMBLES WITH DICKEY
 DiMaggio's failure to smash the sphere with the reckless abandon of the last four years has hurt, but the apprehension about Dickey stamps him palmer than ever as the key man in the aggregation's past successes.
 Buddy Rosar probably would do more damage at the plate, but can't be expected to handle pitchers with the skill of the tall veteran.
 So Bill Dickey remains in the thick of things although he is bat ting only .2l7.
 He meets the ball all right, but nothing happens.
 That's what is wrong with the Yankees, come to think of 1t. They go through the same motions that won four consecutive world cham. pionships, bnut nothing happens.
 You never saw so many hollow shells on one club in your life.
