through 10 their seventeenth conSecu-
tive victory at the Polo Grounds yes
terdqy afternoon. In the Sherif's pal
sled hands Joe Tinker and his Cubs
were as so many pigmies. Chicago
wen, the way Of the Phillies and Reds
and Pirates. The score was TO 0.
There is lilblc to be quite a gather
inc at Brush Stadium this afternoon
10 watch the double-header with the
ST. Louis Cardinals. McGraw's recon
structed machine yesterday tied its
earlier record for consecutive wins.
Tc-days programme is all that stands
between the Little Napoleon and the
record of modern baseball, the game as
conducted under the supervision OF
the National Commission. The chicago
White Sox of 1906 toward the end OF
the drive won nineteen straight. AS In
the case Of the present Giant run a
tie game interviewed but did not break
the streak.
Win Sallee back. and back strong as
the convalescent appeared IN the rare
well 20 the Cubs. McGraw has designs
upon the accepted record OF twenty
straight set many years ago ny the Ola

Indeed. there is no telling just where
his ypriut may reach now that he has

over the few remaining double-headers.

reared the real weak sister OF the
Western branch of the National League
family.

Scot Perry. a husky big fellow from
Atlanta. OF the Southern Association
cot Inc assignment against NcGraws
veteran southpaw. This Is the same
rookie that showed such wonderful
form few DAVIS back in an extra nm
ine- came AZ Boston. While warming
m he almost knocked Andy CoaKley
dead with the stuff he showed. Colufn-
bias coach sat in the press box dlrectIy
behind Perry's catcher.
"A dead ringer for old " Dung
when he was young punned AhoE,
THROUGH the first two innings Perry
lived M TO the Young pattern. lie
had a fast ball, that was thing OF
beauty. even IL il wasn't under the best
Of control. One pitch almost decapl-
tated George Burns, the sun helder
falling fat lust in the nick Of time.
Scot Perry had our boys sidestepping
and cake walking the first time they
looked him over.
One Peep Enough.
But the aspiring Giants were not 70
be fooled. One peep was enough.
Burns came up for the second time
in the third inning with two out. lie
chopped a high hopper toward the box.
Now. in all justice TO our seventeen
straight. u looked from the press box
as II Quigley gave Perry the worst OF
the decision Burns appeared TO be
out full step.
However that may be, il was an
opening, and that was all the Giants
needed. Herzog scratched a slow in
field hit 20 Yerkes. II was good enough
for Charlie 20 ride safely 70 first
aboard his charley horse. Davey Rob
ertsOn picked out fast one in his
groove and ratified three-base knock
OF the left field wall near the foul
line. With two runs in, the seven
teenth straight was as good as entered
in the recorS book.
The rest was simply question Of
safety first and individual records.
Holkc and Rariden punched doubles
for another run in the fourth, after
two were out. Kelly nipped the slow
paced Bill az the plate when the latter
tried 20 count on Sallee's long single

Safer made a two-base error in trying
70 toss out Robertson.
Kelly. Wilson and Perry each singled

third innings respectively. Double
