Dl HUB
 OF VERY LIVELY. LEAGUE MEETING.
B. A. (. Manager Resents Criticism of President;
 TOmfflies vs Hearts

The Brooklyn A. c. baseball age gregation which got oil to e slow start but worked It's way up to a tie for second place was the center of action at last nights meeting of managers of City Amateur League teams held at the YMCA. Briefly, things in general were calm, cool and collected before 9 D. m. but when President Joe Bropty told Manager Eddie DiNapoii of the B. A. 0. what he thought of the lat- ter's actions last Sunday, DiNapoli hit the ceiling and wound up with a threat to pull his team out of the league, which of course, cannot be done unless the Brooklyn A. c. di-, rectors so vote.
 Then came the matter of the Sacred Heart protest of the use of Brooklyn A. c. pitcher Roy John. son which has become slightly rnil- dewed, since 1t was filed, as action has yet to be taken on 1t. The Brooklyns are now tied with the Hearts for second place, and if Johnson is found to have been in. eligible, the B. A. c. can hardly hope to finish the season better than last or next to last, as John. son has been used in several games after the protest was filed inasrnuch as Manager DiNapoli assured all that there were no grounds for pro. test, as a copy of Johson's release from the Welch Club of the Noun. tain League was at hand. The league voted to have the matter looked into and that is the way the matter stands as of the present, though the protest is expected to be cleared up next Monday night.
 Big Game Sunday
 North End Thomas Club and sac- red Hearts game is on tap at 1 p. m. at Hamilton park. A win for the Hearts will put them in one game behind the leaders and all alone, if the Tribunes knock of the Brook. lyns, otherwise the Brooklyns, with a win can gain second spot should the Tommies defeat the Hearts. Washington Hills and Overlooks is the other game carded.
 With a suit of clothes involved as prize, DiNapon told last nights gathering that the B. A. c. catcher, Mike Haiday should have been credited with a home run, rather than a three-bagger and an error but the decision of the ofiicial scor- CT was allowed to stand as is.
 Use of the Municipal Stadium was discussed with the result that committee including President Joe Brophy, Algernon Shea of the Tri- bunes and teh aforementioned MT. DiNapoli to secure the New York Black Yankees or the Texas Rang CTS for an exhibition game at the local athletic plant sometime in August. Last but not least, the managers voted that a player, to be considered for most valuable and most popular player awards this season, must have played at least ten games in the leauge. The win- ners will be decided by a threesome of local sports writers, w. P. ODon- nell, Chick Kelly and John Clumey.

Hansen sailed through the first set to win 1t 6-1, but Genua, an experienced tournament player, set- tied down and reversed the score to win teh second set 6-i. The third set was a ding-dong match, Hansen continually driving to Genua's backhand which, added to the lat ters poor service, gave Hansen the game and match, 6-4.

difficult, or not as hard, as swip- ing second. The runner obtains a longer lead of second base be- cause the pitcher has to turn all the way around to throw in an ef. fort to pick him of. The difference in the time of the shorter throw doesn't come close to making up the catcher's disadvantage.
 A runner judges for himself o5 per cent of the time whether he can go from first to third on hit in front of him to center or left field.

Berlin, May 27.-(A'l-Scvcrai
hundred Americans in Holland have
been vainly seeking way to g2l
home since war swept over The
Netherlands.
A check by the United States min
lister at The Hague, George a. Cor
don, shows that none of them was
injured in the five days OF fighting
that preceded the Dutch surrender.
l was one Of the first Americans
to leave Holland after the German
occupation having been granted a
visa and military permission to
travel to Berlin.
Gordon told nc four days ago
that he had received no message
from the state department since May
IA and that Germans had explained
that communication lines were very
limited.
Thus he was in the dark as f.
what arrangements could be made
for the removal of Americans from
The Netherlands.

gust 20, In order to take care OF
matters which may require atten-
ton before school opens. II is ex-
pected that the appointments will
be made at that session.
It was limited 1t might be neces.
sary to hold a session early in Au-
gust II any large protests over the
school closings arose.
Savings Expected.
The closing Of schools and use Of
these teachers to fill expected va
cancies Is certain to result In a
large saving. 1t will mean less
maintenance cost for these schools,
probable elimination Of some janltor
costs, and II four or five vacancies
which may occur this summer are
filled by these teachers already on
the payroll, the payroll will be de-
creased to q considerable extent.
That the board is apparently GER
tain that such a saving will result
Is shown by the fact that II ordered
the transfer OF more pupils to the
futile house. They are To be taught
on the second floor Of this school
and that will mean improvements
such as q fire escape, improved
heating and more furniture
The group Of AZ freshmen who
will be transferred to the futile
home next fall will be general
course students. The present 10 or
80 who have been attending are
from the freshman college course
group.
Music Shed Work.
This work at the futile house Is
expected to add to the department
expense and as preliminary work
was also ordered In connection with
preparing the two rooms on the first
floor OF the futile barn, at present
used by the high school music stu
dents, for possible vocational train
Ing, would also be costly. But the
savings effected from the closing OF
the schools Is expected TO offset this.
The board met before the sched-
ule hour and from the CONVERSE
ton at the meeting II was gathered
that some II not all Of the members
had inspected the music shed and
the futile house, and 1t was known
that the matter had been discussed
informally before the meeting
opened.
supt. OF Schools Harold u. Chit.
tenden recommended TO the board
the closing Of Beebe street school
and the Hop Brook special room.
DR.. Charles Kennedy felt all three
schools should be closed, feeling IT
would be fairer TO all.
There vas q lengthy discussion on
this matter during which 1t was
brought out that the children could
be transferred to other schools with
out causing congestion In the grades.
The board finally voted tinani-
iliously to close the three schools
