BROOKLYNS AND SACRED HEARTS IN 4 P. M. TEST
Tribunes and Washington Hills Paired; New Play=
 CTS May Show

With the Brooklyn A. c. crowned ss official champions of the first round, the City Amateur league will usher in the second half of the scheduled Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park with the customary four games on tap.
 The City loop fans will get 8 chance, to see the first round cham pions in the feature affair of the day when the Brooks take on the Sacred Hearts at 4 o'clock on dia- mond No. l. The defending cham pions won the first one by a 14-2 score but the team that will be on the field in Heart uniforms Sunday will be entirely different from the one that bowed to the Brooks and Lefty McKenna in the league open- CT.
 Left Vito Colipinto will be on th0 hill for the Hearts with Marty Mar tel behind the plate. Danny Grump, manager of the Brooks, will prob- ably have Joey Jay on the hill with Mike Haiday behind the plate. Pre- ceding this tilt, the Overlooks, the surprise team of the first round, will meet the Thomas club in what Is expected to be an interesting en- counter. The Looks will have Jackie Brickel on the hill with Felix Longo behind the plate while the Tommies will show Harp Sullivan and Joe Verno as their battery. Joe Hannon of Holy Cross will be at shortstop for the Looks.
 Tribe Vs. Hills
 Diamond No. 2 will have its usual pair of top-notch tilts with the T'ribunes, the runner-up team of the first round, meeting the onrushing Washington Hills at o'clock in the field feature of the day. The rival Baldwin street clubs, the leagues oldest and most bitter rivals, will probably afford the best ball of the game. The Tribes will probably send Left Verderand to the hill while Billy Petrillis will do the catching. Mgr. Red Gladney of the Hills will, in all probability, send Patty Quill ter out after his third straight win with Pop" Doyle attending to the backstopping duties. Tn the event GAAOU 0uAACC4 10 4lOO dVd11dUlC, Ou1llUE Carroll, elongated Waterville youth, will get the call.
 The curtain raiser of the diamond will bring together the two new teams of the loop, the Aviglianese and the Mill Plain A. c. The Avigs pulled the first game out of the fire on opening day and will be favored to do so in tomorrow's tilt. The Plainers have been the weak sister of the loop to date and in their last two starts, have garnered but two bingleS off of a combination of Brooklyn and Overlook hurling. Frankie Place or Angelo Basile will do the chucking for the Avigs with Stan Heaton the likely choice for the Plainers.
 Tomorrow is the last day for a number of teams to bring in any new players so it is likely that many of the managers will take advantage of the situation and have a lot of new faces on the field.

BROWNS' SERIES. MAY PROVIDE BIG. HELP TO TANKS
Red SOx Strive to Cut Down 4 Game Lead; WaI=
 ters Tops Dodgers 2=l
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, July 11-tUP)-Losing games to the New York Yankees has become an American league habit but the St. Louis Browns facility for being defeated by the champions may boost Joe McCar- thy's club to its second straight pennant.
 The Boston Red Sox are only four games out of first place and striv- ing to overcome the champions edge while the New Workers are in a dangerous slump and the series with the Browns may provide just the tonic needed to revive the Mo- Carthymen.
 The Yankees laced into Johnny Niggeling for five runs in the first inning yesterday and coasted to their eighth consecutive triumph over the Browns, 5-2. Three passes, hit batsman and three singles of Niggeling in the first inning produced the Yankees five runs. Stan Ferens replaced him and hurled the rest of the game, allowing only two hits and flaming four batters.
 Have 1O8 Double Plays
 Alley Donald, who had not won game since June g, went the route for the Yankees and effective ly scattered nine hits among the Browns. The Yankees completed their 108th double play in the eighth.
 Tex Hughson won his ninth vic- tory and batted the Red Sox to a 6-1 triumph over Detroit. Hugh son permitted only seven hits and drove in three runs with two sim gles and a double. He had four hit shutout going into the ninth but the first three men each sim gled, producing the Tigers only counter. Hughson faced only 18 men in the first six innings helped by two double plays.
 Mel Harder halted the Philadel- phia Athletics with four hits and the Cleveland Indians clouted Her man Besse for three runs in the fifth, taking 4-2 triumph. The win was Harder's seventh.
 The St. Louis Cardinals cut the Brooklyn Dodgers National league lead to 7h games by beating the New York Giants, 3-2, in 10 in nings while the Flatbushers lost to the Cincinnati Reds, 2-1, also in 10 innings (night).
 Blunt, Errors Wins
 Coaker Triplett singled with two out and two on to tie the score for the Cards in the ninth and Stan Musial's bunt with two on, coupled with an error by Ace Adams, sent home Terry Moore with the winning run.
 Bucky Walters slid home with the winning run after holding Brooklyn to six hits for his 10th victory.

The B. G.s came up with their usual dose of poison for the Aces yesterday and when the firing was over the old jinx had worked again B. G. 10, Aces 0, in a North End Junior league softball tilt
 A large and enthusiastic crowd led by Rev. John McVerry of St. Lucy's church, was kept on it's toes through seven thrill-packed innings. The Aces stars, Bill Valletta and Southpaw Frankie Polletta, didn't have enough yesterday. Frankie fired wildly at the target and after walking three runs over in the 4th, took walk himself. Billy tried hard to bring home the bacon in the big fifth but a home run ball with three on bounced off the far center field wall and Bill held up at second.
 Again in the last inning the Aces found the range but Ed Carey yanked his starting pitcher, little Win Monti and with three on and two out, forced big Scoods Manette to pop up.
 The score by innings:
 B. G. 100 404 1-10 Aces ............. OO1 030 O. I
 The first game, between the Cor sairs and Division team, was a pitchers duel, the Division team getting revenge for an earlier white washing by taking over the Cor sairs, 10. Only five hits were made by both clubs but Division hit when they were needed most.
