STRONG RIVALS IN CAL. FEATURE CAME ON SUNDAY
Officials Expect Record Crowd; KisskO vs Wood;
 Hills vs Pals

The city amateur league has on It's docket for Sunday the biggest and most appeti2ing twin bill of the season for the spacious Muni. cipal Stadium on Watertown av- enue and as 6 result two umplres have been named to work the feR- ture attraction which brings to- gether the league-leadlng North End Thomas Club and the Brook lyn A. o. who are deadlocked for second place with the Washing ton Hills and the Sacred Heart Pals, who oddly enough, meet in the 2 o'clock game to decide the second spot. At Hamilton Park at 3, the disappointing Tribunes take on the Overlooks, who are at pres- ent residing comfortably in the cel- lar.
 Getting back to the feature af- fair, the largest crowd of the sea- son Is expected to sit in on the game that is expected to be a thriller from the start to the fin- ish. The Tommies dropped their first game of the season to the Sacred Heart Pals and since then have cleaned up every team in the circuit including the Pals. The Tommies have large number of Torrington players available and since tomorrow Is the last day for new players, the GreatoreXnsn may have Q few new faces to show the boys from across the bridge.
 B. A. Q. Collegians
 The Brooks, on the other hand, have brought new players in from the very first day and tomorrow promises to be no exception. The DiNapolimen have large number of college stars in the lineup, m cluding the Wood boys, Steve and Bobby, who performed with Col gate university this year, along with Eddie Donnelly, who cap- tained the Red Raiders from his position at second base, Mike My narski, who Is the captain elect of the University of Georgetown team next year plus Q lot of other such big name performers. The Brooks will probably strat Steve Wood on the mound with Mike Haiday be- hind the bat while Mike Kissko will pitch for the Tories, with Omar pollick catching.
 Looks Good
 The early Afternoon affair at the Stadium also promises to be an interesting tussle. The Hills have been the surprise team of the year. having lost but two games, one to the Tommies and the Pals beat them the first time out by . lS- II score, In Q game that was pro- tested by the Hills but to no ayail. Since then the Baldwin StreeterS have knocked off the Tribunes, the Brooklyn A. Q. and the Overlooks and will be out to add the Pal scalp to the Hill wigwam. Hand- some Patty Quilter will probably do the chucking for the Hills with Ralph Bradley or Harp Sullivan hurling for the Pals,
 The Tribunes, after dropping three In 0 row, are favored to break into the win column at the expense of the lowly Overlooks. The Tribes have been playing pret- ty fair ball 10 late but just can't seem to come up with Q victory. The Looks, on the other hand, have yet to win this year but have dropped three tilts by the narrow margin of one run, If Bob Malone Is right, the Looks stand chance to topple the Tribes, Frankie Ed monds or Lefty Pershing will pitch for the Tribes, facing Malone or possibly Jack Brickel.

(Rcg. U, $. Pat Otf.) BY HARRY FERGUSON Mlnitnd Prrss Shorts Eilltnrl

New York, June 28 -- (U,P) No band Of men In the world takes such a beating as the reporters who cover golf tournaments, but yesterday we got even In an outstanding way,
 The scene was Fresh Meadow Country Club, the occasion, the sec- ond match between Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb. This Is not story of the golf match, it is 0 story Of subtle, cruel revenge and how we brought 1t about.
 Fifteen minutes before the match started the working press assembled to compare scars and bruises, Your correspondent displayed Q blue patch on his arm where member of the gallery had slugged him at the Ma tional Open in Fort Worth. Another man had scar from the 1922 anna teur, caused by Q middle-aged lady who poked an umbrella in his face. A veteran photographer showed two broken toes incurred at the 1884 PGA tournament when the gallery stampeded at the 18th hole and trampled him underfoot.
 We were a battlescarred band thirsting for revenge, and this was our golden opportunity.
 For the first time in the history of golf we outnumbered the gallery. A count of noses showed i0S members of the gallery who had paid their way into the grounds. By counting the drivers of the news reel trucks, wives, children, and Q former copy boy from paper in Capetown, South Africa, the working press ag- gregated 105 persons. So, we pro- ceeded to do the gallery what 1t has been doing to us all these years.
 Upset
 We opened our attack by running around, grabbing spectators by the arm and asking, who's ahead, Cobb or Ruth?" This effectively kept them from watching the shots. A man came by with nice metal pencil in his pocket and your cor- respondent seized it, saying: "Gim- me that, Buddy"
 A newsreel photographic then went into action by quietly kicking two punchy men in the stomach as they tried to wiggle under the mar shals ropes to watch Cobb sink a three foot putt. Then a chorus of the working press stationed itself around a trap on the eighth green and chanted at the spectators down in front, down in front, down in front, you Jugs"
 By this time most of the gallery was pretty well cowed, but the working press was in no mood to let up on them. A flying squadron was formed to surround Cobb and Ruth as they made each shot and stand on tip toe 50 no paying customer could get a glimpse of 1t. Working from the 18th tee, a fifth column of reporters began spreading false ru- mors saying that neither cohb nor

DeFilippo Choice Of Crowley For An-Star Game

The first man selected for the Eastern College All-Star football team of i94i Is Louis Philip De N- Hippo, captain and center of the l940 Fordham football team. His acceptance of an invitation to play against the New York Giants in the sixth annual Tribune Fresh Air Fund game in the Polo Grounds the night of Sept, 3 was announced today by Jim Crowley, his coach In college, who will handle the All- Stars this year, Crowley expects to announce additions to the team shortly,
 De Filippo, one of the greatest centers of the past three years, Is no pigmy, He stands 6 feet 2 and weighs 220 pounds, In tho course of his college career he missed only two games,
 Last year he played all but four minutes of the FordhNm schedule, including the celebrated tusSle aguinst Texas Christian In Dallas New Years Day. On that occasion he made quite an impression on the Cotton Bowl crowd by hitting John Klmbrough head on Q dozen times, knocking this celebrated ale American backward and then pick ing him up,
 De Filippo Is older than many Of his prospective teammates, After graduating from Hillhouse High School in New Haven at the age of seventeen he dropped out of school for three years and went to work, He resumed his studies Nt Fordham In lo37 and was at once converted into Q center by Hugh Devore who handled the Fordham freshman team at that time,
 De Filippo had been Q tackle in high school but he took to his new position So quickly that he stepped in as Fordham's varsity center the next fall and never was displaced, except temporarily because of in jury, He missed the North Caro- ina game In 1888 and the opening game with Waynesburg In l9S9, Jim Crowley considers him at least the equal of Fordham's celebrated So- letter athlete, Alexander Franklin Wojciechowicz, his predecessor at center and his predecessor three times removed as center on the All. Star team,

 By the time the 18th hole was reached most of the paying custom CTS had been dispersed and were in full retreat with photographers har- rassing them on both Hanks with flash bulbs.
