Jackie Miller. youthful mound ace of the Brooklyn A C., pulled gen. uine Frank MerriVell against the Washington Hills yesterday after noon at Hamilton Park. Coming to the bat in the last of the ninth with the score knotted at 3-3. Miller tagged one of Iggy' Miller's fast ones which scared over Armand Mazzarella's head in right field to the fence. The fence failed to stop the leather which rolled into small hole some younghterS had dug earl fer to crash the gate so Mazzarella had no chance to retrieve it as it bobbled along the road outside his reach
 A nome run in deep right field at Hamilton Park is something new, for even balls hit over the fence are automatic doubles. Miller's knock was certain two base hit. but not one of the City Amateur League fans or players who saw the play ever dreamed of Miller completing the circuit The victory enabled the boys from across the bridge to take over first place in the second round standing. However, Manager Patty Quilter of the fills intends to pro test the win on the grounds that the winners second baSeman. Frank Pandolfo, was ineligible to play
 The Brooks scored in the first on an infield error and Eddie Thompson's single but walk, 3 fielder's choice, stolen base and an infield out tied the count in the top of the second.
 Miller Starts if
 Miller accounted for the second Brooklyn run when he lined one of Ralph Bradleys pitches for a triple, scoring Joe Alfone who had reached on fielder's choice after forcing Johnny Reardon.
 Brooklyn made it 3-1 in the fifth with another marker but the Hills came back with single tallies and the sixth and eighth to tie the score. '.Iggy" Miller took over in the sev- enth and was charged with the set back.
