VICTORY SCORED
 LAST SUNDAY ExPECTEDLY OK.
Managers Meet Tonight at YMCA; Hope to Book
 Vale Team Next Week
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Inasmuch as the Tribune A. 0. baseball team, which was consid- cred a strong contender for the 1942 City Amateur league baseball championship earlier in the season, was broken up because of 6 vote of the managers and officials to the effect that league players could not play "outside" ball, especially with the Fred Davi Brasscos; 1t is hard ly possible that the same managers will vote tonight to throw out last Sundays IA to Tribune win over the Thomas Club because the Tribes used seven new players rather than four "allowed" them by league vote earlier in the week.
 Scheduled to meet last evening, the officials and managers present were not numerous enough to form a quorum, hence tonight's gather ing which will discuss league af- fairs, the Tribune Thomas Club game, and the chances of bringing the Yale baseball team to town next week, with Roy Talcott of Princeton on the mound against the Eli club, and the Brooklyn A. c. in back of him. Roy beat Yale, 2-1, earlier in the season.
 SpOrtsmanship
 The Thomas club management, which did not protest last Sundays game won by the Tribunes, who had seven new players, is not expected to ask tonight that the Tribe win be crossed off the records, and Manager Eddie DiNapoli, manager of the Brooklyn entry, may surprise all hands by moving to allow the Tribe win to stand as is. Under the conditions, the breakup of the Tribune team which eliminated with the resignation of Manager Packy Shea and the previous loss of four players, most of the man. agers feel 1t would be poor sports manship to deny the Tribes their latest win on the technicality that they used seven new players rather, than four voted them by the league. AS the Thomas club has not filed a protest as coming from the losing team of the game in question. little time is expected to be lost concern HE UI1C AHdLLeIy WlLH LIlc I dlC teams possible local appearance ex- pected to form the major point of discussion.
 Can't Make It
 A reliable Yale spokesman, con- tacted by the writer, did not believe that the Yale schedule next week or in August would allow a Watcrt.:y appearance, much as the team would like to play against Roy Tal- colt, former Princeton pitching ace, who defeated the Yales earlier this year in one of the best college games of the season which ended 2-1.

 (Reg. U. s. Pat. Off,
 New York, Aug. 4.-CUP)-The Brooklyn Dodgers 2 to Army emergency relief game victory over the New York Giants last night may mean the end of twilight base ball in New York.
 The game, which attracted 57,305 persons to the Polo Grounds - the largest single game attendance there - was called in the ninth in- ming because of dimout regulations with the Giants having men on first and second and no ore out.
 Under baseball rule, it must go down as a Brooklyn victory and there is no appeal put President Horace Stoneham of the Giants announced that after the twilight game this evening there would be no more ball games at that hour at the Polo Grounds.
 Brooklyn probably will continue to play out its twilight schedule but the amount of criticism which fol- lowed the Dodgers to victory

 Along with Earl Caldwell and Beartracks Greer, Dana makes up the Cats Big Three. The team is in second place, has been in the first division for 8 month.
 LILLARD SHINES
 AT SHORTSTOP
 Monk Tucker, Flea Clifton, Rabbit Warstler and Alex Hooks former homeless wanderers on the face of the baseball world along with Bill Lillard, who handles the shortstop slot, are Hornsby's infielders.
 Lillard was problem child. He went up to the Philadelphia Ath- letics from the Coast 8 year or so ago with a $35, ,000 tag on him but failed to stick. He's hitting around .330 with Fort Worth and playing excellently afeld.
 What kind of fellow is Hornsby? I've found him just about the most honest bloke I've ever bumped into. He's too hon. est, if anything. He says what he thinks, never alibis. goes on his own judgment, doesn't worry too much, plays a percentage but generally sound game.
 His lifetime batting average is .358 He was in the majors 9 years, is recognized as one of the greatest infielders ever to scoop up grounder.
 His admirers feel despite the fact that he has held four major league managerial Eerths, he is strictly a big time pilot and should be directing fast company.
 By the way, you've all won dered how the greatest right handed hitter in the record books happens to be called Rajah. It's simple. That's exactly his South'n accent in pronouncing Rogers.
