CUPID SIGNS UP
POLL PERRlTT IN
HYMEN'S LEAGUE
Pitcher of Giants Weds
Miss Blake, Sister-in-
Law of Jeff TeSreau.
By JEROME BEATTY.

Poll Perri,t is married His wife IL
Mrs. JEFF Tesreau's sister, and It's
big secret. Nobody Is supposed to know
about II except few intimate friends,
sworn not TO tell soul. The ceremony
was performed on Sunday night.
The bride was Miss Florence Blake,
OF New York, and beyond the fact that
the couple are going to sail FOR rev
Orleans az noon tomorrow, we couIdn ,
learn a single detail so faithfully did
their friends keep their trust.
Poll. known on the marriage license
clerks books IT William Dayton Per-
rift. is one OF John J. McGraw's pitch
ers. you remember. So is jeff Tesreau.
Poll WAS traded 10 the Giants by the
81. Louis Cardinals last spring, just
after he had announced that he would
iump 20 the Federal League. After
long and hazardous trip through the
swamps Of Louisiana TO Perritt's home,
Dick Kinsella. Giant scout, persuaded
Poll 10 give up his Federal League ideas
and sign with the Giants.
And so it was that he became
friend of JEFF Tesreau. Last spring
Poll used to 20 out to the Tesreau
apartment and eat corned beef and cab
hare. Ozark Jef's favorite delicacy.
Mrs. Tesreau. of course, was there, and
now and then Miss Florence, her sister,
happened around.
Poll rather liked the sight OF the
happy JEFF and Mrs. JEFF, and he liked
even more the sight Of Miss Florence
Frequently he took her riding in his
motor car. When the Giants were on
the road Polls morning rush to look
over the mail was so impulsive that
in a ST Louis hotel it is said he almost
killed a suspender salesman who was
20 unfortunate a 10 stand between POI!
and letter.
Poll and Miss Florence were married
on the second anniversary OF Mr.. ana
Mrs. Tesreau's wedding, but under less
exciting circumstances. JEFF wed after
he had pitched the Giants TO pennaht
and the Tesreaus wedding trip was

All the stenographers in the Offices OF
the New York National League Club, IN
the Fifth Avenue Building, were so ex-
cited Yesterday that they could hardly
work. They have known all about the
romance, and they said they thought II
was Just lovely. The telephone girl said
she thought so, too.
Just think what might have hap
pened, or what wouldn't have. hap
pened. II Poll had decided 70 stick with

CANARIES LIKE PLAIN CAGE
Lover of Birds Has Found Out That
They Prefer Their Abode to
Be Simple.

Living near st. Nicholas emu and
One Hundred and Eleventh street
there is a lady who during a period
of six months purchased no less than
three canary birds with the hope that
they would solace her with their sing
ing, only to find that after she had in
stalled them n by n in the hand
some cage she had prepared for them
not only would they not sing but
that they moped and pinned and finally
died. The canary bird lover did ev-
erything she knew TO keep her pets
and teach them to trill the melodies
that such birds can utter, but 1t was
of no use.
Finally a neighbor advised her to
discard the handsome and expensive
cage and buy q new one. palmer in
make.
What in the world difference will
that maker" the canary bird lover
asked. "A cage is a cage-what's the
difference to the 5irds?"
"Ail the difference in the world"
answered her adviser, land for two
good reasons. One is that a bird has
died in it. The other is that a bird
of modest disposition does not like an
ov~erhandsome cage.
"The best singing results have
come from the inmates OF palmer
cages. / don't know whether or not
canary birds are natural democrats,
but experience has been such as |
tell you. Buy a palmer cage that has
no canary bird ghost stalking through
1t to brighten the living bird"
So the canary bird lover discarded
the big cage and bought a palmer one.
She transferred the last bird she had
bought, and which had already begun
to NOPE, to its new quarters. Then
she waited a day and still another
day, but not a sound came forth. al
though the bird began to look pert
and clipper. She called In her ad-
vising friend and complained there
was no result after the cage change
Wait" said her friend, blowing
upon a bird whistle.
The canary heard the notes, cooked
his head and began to sing. Was 1t
