OVERTIME TILTS THIS YEAR
Daylight Saving Law Mainly Response
BILE for Two 19-Innlng 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
19-inning game at 8 80 o'clock and
played until eight o'clock.
This would have been totally impos-
sible In previous years. Chief Umpire
Ouigley 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 1t unnecessary TO re-
play the game. AS 1t is the four hours
and thirty minutes of desperate play
went for naught.

Canals Now Fish Ponds.

Actual stocking of New York's new
Ash ponds in the beds Of the old Erie
and Champlain canals is in full swing.
The necessary construction work has
been completed and the fish used for
stocking purposes are being rushed
from various points to the canals and
liberated at once.
The first consignment consisted Of
a large number Of yellow perch fry,
which were planted in one Of the Sec
tions of the old Erie canal near Am
sterdam. According to the conserva-
ton commission, quantity OF perch
spawn was collected by state en-
ployees in Adirondack lakes, where
these fish are a menace to other fishes
in the same waters. It's removal is
therefore accomplishing double
benefit.

KEYSTONE POSITION
ON GIANTS HO0DOOED
Tough Luck Has Stood in Path OF
Four Second Basemen.
Herzog Couldn't Get Along With Mo-
Graw-Doyle Was Taken Ill
Niehoff Breaks Leg--Joe Rod
riguez 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-
sition for McGraw during the past
two years. If the Job isn't hoodooed.
what is 1t?
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
ton while en- route to Philadelphia
with the team and received severe in
juries. His condition has never been
the same since that accident, and yet
1t wasn't that alone which caused Nc
Graw to dispose of him, for, in addi-
ton, 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 he was going like ma
chine in the field. Suddenly he was
taken Ill and had to undergo an oper-
alton.
With Doyle out Of 1t, 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 disheartening trip in the
western half of the circuit Niehofr
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
job, 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 bssing job is linked to q fare
you-well and no one can blame them.
