pitfalls and hummocks that the wise
traveller decides to stick to his motto.

as the proverb says. For the short

eral condition of the man, his fitness,
should be the criterion, and not his
age in years. We all know that some
people at sixty are actually older
than some are ut seventy or eighty.
THE advice to old men to retire
has sometimes, If followed, very dis
astrOus consequences. A man Of sew

OVERTIME TILTS THIS YEAR
Daylight Saving Law Mainly Response
BILE for Two 19-Inning Games
Played So Far.

Perhaps before the present season
ends all records in the major league
for lengthy games will be broken. AL
ready there have been two 19-inning
draws.
The law which saves an hour Of day
light Is mainly responsible, for 1t per-
mits game to go along until decided.
The Pills and Cardinals started their
1o-inning game at $3.50 O'Clock and
played until eight o'clock.
This would have been totally impos-
sTble in previous years. Chief Umpire
OuigIey called the game on account
of darkness at the end of the nine
teenth inning. 1t is rather question
able whether he was justified in call
ing the game off. The teams could
have battled one or two innings longer
and a decision might have been
reached. making it unnecessary to re-
play the game. AS it is the four hours
and thirty minutes Of desperate play
went for naught.

KEYSTONE POSITION
ON GIANTS HOODOOED
Tough Luck Has Stood in Path Of
Four Second BaSemen.
Herzog Couldn't Get Along With Nc
craw-Doyle Was Taken Ill
Niehoff Breaks Leg-Joe Rod
rlguez Does Not Fit In.

The second base job on the New
York Giants must be hoodooed.
Tough luck In one form or another
has stood in the path of four players
who have held down the keystone po'
sltlon for McGraw during the past
two years, If the job isn't hoodooed,
| what is it2
Buck HerZog has tried holding down
the position for McGraw several times,
And Buck and that said job did not
get along. Early last season, after
he had been brought back to the
Giants for the third time, Buck slipped
on the floor of the Pennsylvania sta
tlon while en- route to Philadelphia
with the team and received severe IN
! iurleS. His condition has never been
the same since that accident, and yet
II wasn't that alone which caused Nc
Graw To dispose of him. for, in addl-
tion, he failed TO get along with the
Giant leader.
Next in line came Larry Doyle,
brought back TO the New York club
via Chicago and Boston. Larry went
great guns for several weeks after the
season opened. He led the league In
batting and be was going like n ma.
chine in the field. Suddenly he was
taken i'll and had TO undergo an oper-
alton.
With Doyle out of it, McGraw pur-
chased Bert Niehoff from the st. Louis
Cardinals, and just as the team was
getting ready to leave Philadelphia to
return to the Polo grounds after a
long and dlsheartening trip in the
western half OF the circuit Niehoff
broke his leg.
Joe Rodriguez, the Cuban infielder
has played the keystone sack on and
off for the Giants all season, but Joe
doesn't have the best of luck in the
Sob, for though he works harder to
make good than any other man who
ever held the sack down he can't make
himself fit into the combination.
The members of the Giants them.
selves are beginning to think that the
second basing job is jinxed to fare
you-well and no one can blame them.
