ny FREDERICK q. LIED.
Il was u gala day on the Polo Grounds
yesterday for Poll Perritt. the National
Exhibition Company. Charles Ebbets and
also william +. Baker. Pat Moran and
fellow Pills were in no mood for cele-
brating. as they didn't share in the pot
o. which Baker took a handsome slice.
Undoubtedly Poll will cut but those
box scores and give them a conspicuous
place In the family album. Then when
Pclly's two-months-ol son and heir
grows up TO be Il big Permit he can show
Il TO all the kids In the block and let
them see for themselves what a great
man Papa Perritt was. Pitching double
headers has become all the rage during
the past week on the Polo lawn. but per-
laps no ono who ever attempted the feat
pu. It over as c~leverly as did Perritt,
whose regular name Is William Dayton.
Pitching against the champions Of his
league he held them to eight harmless
hits in eighteen innings and allowed one
run. He upset the Pills I'm the first bout
Of the twin bills 3 to 1 and repeated in
NJ. . by a score or 3 to Q. The double
win dropped the Phils from tho top of
the heap and he Brooklyns again shot
into the lead and are now a game and a
half In the van. 1t has been a long
time since the Giants gave Charley Eb-
bets such a lift. II the Dodgers get into
the worlds series they ought to give
Psrritt a slice Of pie.
Record Crowd At Game.
Next to Permits pitching the most re.
markable part Of the double header was
the crowd. Despite the fact that the
Giants started the day under the 500
mark. with no chance Of finishing above
fourth place. Hampstead took in the
biggest pot that the Giants have ever
divided with another team in a league
game. The Giant president came in the
press stand himself to !mpart this news.
% II was nc estimate.
He says never in the history Of the
, club were the Giants as sold out as they
were yesterday. Nothing remained but
about Il thousand seats in the bleachers
Behind the green batting curtains. But
the gaps in the bleachers were more han
made up by the hundreds who camped
IN a.sles and stood In the rear OF the
grand stand, both up and down stairs.
Hampstead would not tell the exact re-
ceipts, hut the crowd was estimated
around $1,000.
John Foster was forced to go out and
commander IA lot of drays on Eighth
avenue to cart all this dough to a safe
spot. Running a ball club In Harlem
this year is even a nicer Job than look
Ing after the gold watts in the money fac
tory in Philadelphia.
Brooklyn Fans Present.
Judging by the noise some OF the boys
made when the Supcrbas scored that
batch Of three runs in the eighth inning,
quite II percentage OF that $4,000 were
inmates az Brooklyn. Either that OF
flannattan Borough If getting very
Y chubby toward its neighbours nine.
Coming on top of Benton's feat OF
pitching IL double header last Wednes'
day. there was IA murmur OF surprise
when the fans saw Perritt toss the bal
70 harden TO keep himself in trim dur
Ing the interval etween the frst AND
second game. 1t will take those fans 9
long time to forget the double header
Poll pitched. The Pills may never for
get II, especially II their double defea'
takes Worlds Series slices from them.
To show Just how good the Louisianiar
was, In the two games only So Quaker
y ba,smen faced him. which was nine more
\ 'aan the legal allowance OF % q game
n the first game only 90 Phils went Il
bat, lie allowed only four hits in eacl
game. two OF those In the second comm;
with two out. In the first game. tn
Pills lum;ed three OF their hits in TIL
seventh inning, when they scored thei
! only run In the long stretch.
One Run for pills.
Paskcrt opened this round with
single to left. and Niehon sent him u
Nird with a double over Burns's head
Stock popued to Fletcher. and Cravatl
scored paskert with n long sacrifice II,
to KauN though Benny by n nice throw
held .NiehofY on second. Whitfield hit
single over second. which Hero
knocked down. Nichor intended to TT,
n score, but then changed his mind
Before he could scuddlc hack to third
m pinned the ball on him.
In the Nv" games. William Dayton per
Hlttel only two bases on balls. and onl
ono error was made behind him. Burn
nu'fing IA fly after a hare run. HIS sur
port kent pace with his pitching. as Hell
z1g and Fletcher PLAYED more like fiend
III nan human beings. They got eVerythin
within reach. and then twice as much a
that. Young Holke also continued h,
star game.
Present for II. Ztm.
y was H"inie PIN day and the Bron
E.ks presented the Bronx bearcat VII
double clk's tootk before the -
game. They should have saved the,
hubdub until the ntermlssion. as onl
about $1,000 OF the crowd were ther
when the early gong rang. There didn
eeeln 10 be much luck In Zim's ne'
teeth, as he only bined one single.
Two former Giant tormentors wer
wrenched OFF in each game. In the hr'
game they tossed 1t into Al Demare'
Who beat the Giants by habit. just .Ik
te smokes his fat. black cigars. In tn
second game Moran probably figure
tha, the vast crowd would remind Chit
Bender of the good old days Of yestel
year. when beating the Giants befol
worlds series crowds was one OF II
indians specialties. The redskin n
eponded nobly. allowing only three hi
N seven innings. but Perritt was Il
much for him.
Though Demaree was stung for Il
s's IN the first game. perfect suppo
