DOUBLE-HEADER MONDAY

DOUBLE-HEADER MONDAY
BY WILLIAM rEEr.

.hunderShower that soaked Gotham
about / o'clock today gave the
management of the New York
Yanks chance; to call off the third
ball game of the series and book
a double-header for Monday.
Todays contest should have
been played, as the sun burst
through the clouds at 2 o'clock,
and one hour later the Polo
Grounds was as dry as finder.
A blind man could see through
the scheme of today's postpone
ment. Over in Brooklyn the Giants
and Dodgers are playing a series
and packing the. ball park with
every game. The lowly Highland
ers drew only a handful of fans
to see them perform, and with a
double-header on Monday, a little
newspaper advertising to the effect
that Walter johnson may work in
one of the games, the American
League club management hopes to
compete with their National
League rivals across the river.
Clark Grifith wanted to play today. but
had no other alternative but to remain
idle. as the rules of baseball prescribe
that the MANAGEMENT of the home team
shall decide whether or not the grounds
are in fit shape for baseball. and today's
thunder shower gave the Ne" iofAs
chance 10 double up nohoas-
