Poll Perritt Blows Up, Losing
First Game in Sixth
Inning

PITTSBURGH, July 13.-In closing
the present series with the Pittsburgh
Pirates to-day the New York Giants had
to be content with an ever break in a
doubleheader. Pittsburgh placed the
opening bill to its credit when Poll
Perritt exploded like real Fourth of
July frecracker in the sixth inning,
giving Pittsburgh all its runs. Clever
pitching by Cecil Causey, the young
Giant player, accounted for the New
York victory in the second game. The
scores we're S to and to i.
When Perritt lost control the Giant
players saw their two-run lead pass
into the discard. During this furious
Pirate batting fest Perritt was pounded
for total of five singles and double,
which. with an error by Fletcher,
helped in the scoring. Ferdie Schupp
relieved Poll, and in the two remain
ing Pirate innings was never in danger
of being scored on.
The Giants batted Cooper, the local
twirler. rather freely, but promising
rally was cut short by ELAN, the 1ocal
recruit, who started a double klay.
Cooper was found for eight hits, and
the one who took particular liking to
his offerings was Heinie Zimmerman.
Zim placed three hits to his credit, of
which two were triples. He was re-
sponsible for the majority of the Giant
runs. He himself tailed twice.
Tim Starts Scoring
Two New York runs came in the sec
ond when Zimmerman opened matters
with triple. Holke followed with a

sent home the second Giant run with
a single to right field.
zimmerman started another Giant
rally in the ninth inning and it looked
as if the local players were to be
overtaken. However. after two Giants
had clattered over the plate with one
out. Cooper recovered and retired the
next two batters in turn. Zim and
Holke singled in order and on McCar-
tvs out both advanced base ELAN
then allowed Sickings roller to roll
through his legs and both thinner
man and Holke scored. Roaring Bill
Rariden. hitting for Schupp, grounded
easily to Mollwitz and Burns hard
try resulted in line drive that Cut
shaw smeared by fine catch.
With the exception of the ninth in
ming, Causey had the Pirate batters
puzzled throughout the game. He was
found for only five hits, two of them
in the final inning. Causey had perfect
control and but for Fletcher's wild
throw in the third inning the local
men would have been shut-out.
Five Runs in First
The Giants had only two profitable
innings, the first and sixth, but as it
turned out. they scored enough runs in
these two frames. Five runs came in
the first inning. which Burns began
with double. Four singles followed.
Sanders, the local twirler, aided in his
own downfall by issuing two bases on
balls. The Giants punched two hits
in the sixth but the three tallies that
resulted came through wild throw
by Cutshaw that allowed Holke and
Rarden to score and wild pitch by
Sanders that Melted another run.

McTaggart an excellent view of the
grand race from the extreme rear
The Frivolty Stakes for two-year- Odds
at five and half furlongs, with guar
anteed value of $4,000, fell to r. II.
McC. Potter's Blairgowrie, which was
ridden by Lyke. Blairgowrie moved up
fast when called upon in the stretch
but had to be ridden hard by Lyke
toward the end to get up with
K. T. Wilson, jr.'s Thistledon, which
stopped when collared. Blairgowrie,
which was an odds-on favorite. was
going away at the end.
Lyke figured in the most narrow es-
cape of the afternoon when he rode
the winning favorite, the Brighton
Stables Flags. This one broke very
poorly, propping as the barrier sprung.
Lyke, however, rushed the feet gelding
all the way past the field and out into
the lead in the first quarter mile. This
early run seemed to take q lot out of
the gelding, for when he hit the final
sixteenth lengths to the good, he was
seen suddenly to tire. Lyke had to
call into play every trick and art of his
excellent Workmanship to have the
pacemaker last to the end.
Ina Frank, which dropped back at
the turn, came with such a determined
rush in the stretch that she would
have won in another stride. Indeed
some of the harum- scarums jammed in
about the judges stand Kissed the de-
cision, though the officials were per-
fectly right in their verdict.
Outsiders Win Two
Lyke finished off ine afternoon BY
riding Toto, CT the Brighton Stable, to
victory, popular one, as Toto was
favorite. He came with a rush at the
end and won going away. The two
races which Lyke lost, or rather in
which he was only placed, fell to out
siders. w. Martins Jack Stuart, backed
from 40 to to 80 to 1, simply made
runaway of the opening event at mile.
Lyke rode Trophy in this race.
Mergler sprang big surprise in the
fifth, which was at a mile and a six
teenth, when he tow-roped the field
with the outsider Mimic II. Ballad,
the favorite, was knocked out of it at
the first turn, being almost knocked
down in the bargain Lyke put up
wonderful ride on Paddy Dear, equal
favorite with Ballad at post time, after
being outrun in the early going. He
was closing fast at the end, but never
had a chance to get up with the deer
footed pacemaker.

Miss Sultan Surprises
In Beating Miss BOYLE

Miss Charlotte Boyle, national cham
pion at swimming, met defeat in the
plunge for distance for the Metropoli-
tan Association championship at the
Brighton Beach pool last night. The
girl to defeat this country's famous
swimmer was Miss Elsie Sultan, the
recognized distance champion of the
East. Miss Sultan covered 43 feet of
the tank while Miss Boyle could make
only 40 feet. Miss Bessie Tomkins was
third, with SO feet.
Leo Giebel, the young schoolboy, beat
fast field of swimmers in the 100

Bay, was second. with A. Keegan, the
Armed Guard star, third.

Baseball Held
ToBe Essential
AS Occupation

The first ruling by draft board in
which baseball is held to be an es-
sential occupation was made at East
Orange, N. j., yesterday when the
board notified Joseph Finneran, a
pitcher of the New York American
League Club, that he would be allowed
to continue his profession as a maj or
league ball player.
Finneran. who lives in Orange, N.
j., has wife and child, and under the
selective draft was not placed in Glass
Ia. Two days ago he was summoned
before his board and questioned about
his occupation. Finneran told the
members of the draft board that he
was professional ball player and de-
pended upon the game for his liveli-
hood.
He stated that he considered base
ball an essential, in view of the fact
that it furnished entertainment and
lie in war time as other public enter
ditions, asked the board to allow him
to continue playing baseball.
The boards answer to his plea was
sent to him yesterday. In deciding to
allow Finneran to continue playing
baseball the East Orange boards rul-
ing establishes a precedent and has
aroused hope among professional ball
players that baseball will be regarded
officially as being an essential occupa-
tion
Whether the East Orange boards
decision is in accordance to instruc-
ton from the government officials in
Washington has not been made public
An official ruling from Washington is
expected soon, as many players who
have been ordered by their boards to
drop baseball and secure other jobs
have filed appeals
