AT a recent luncheon given In honor
a the Old Slxty-ninth Regiment, one
Of the speakers told an anecdote about
Que Of those fighting Irish Yankees OF
the l65th Infantry. Turning to Major
Tom Kelley of the 165th, who was
seated at the table, the speaker re-
marked tom, / guess you know him,
O. fellow by the name of Kelly"
Tom was in deep thought for a mo-
1nent. kelly! The name does sound
familiar" replied Major Kelley. II

Well. the kelys, the OBriens, the
'sullvans, the Monahans and the rest
OF the fighting Sixty-ninth held an
Old Home Week on the Polo Grounds
yesterday, and paid their respects to
me beloved chaplain OF the famous
aghting regiment. Major Francis p.
Duffy.
It was Father Duffy Day on the
Harlem gseen. and everything was fine
but the weather. After two days OF
glorious sunshine. the fans yesterday
we're treated to cold. bleak day with
( sprinkle Of rain added But the
Giants warmed the heart Of the warrior
prelate by the way they again pitched
INTO the Cubs. In all Manhattan and
The Bronx there Is no more ardent
Giant rooter than Father Duffy, and
the Fighting Chaplain smiled as the
Cubs were butchered tor make IL a fete
day The Giants bowled over the
league champions for the third straight
tine, the score being 6 to 2.
.,
Giants Tied for Lead.
Aided by tho explosion which took
place in the thirteenth round of the
game in Flatbush. the Giants climbed to
a tie with the Dodgers for first place
The Giants now have run of with I'VE
straight victories, and during the streak
they have defeated the best in the
league. the pace-setting Brooklyns and
The Cubs, champions OF 1918.
Before the game Father Dufry
marched on the field with Major-Gen.
Thomas Barry and other officers, and
rfew minutes later Mayor Hylan and
Deputy Commissioner Rodman Wanna
maker tramped across the lawn.

regiment.
General Barry provided tho bands of
the Twenty-second Infantry and the
Ninth Coast Artillery. and Victor Her
bert directed the concert. After the
ball game started the Giants played a
two-bagger lullaby that made the Cubs
dance, and they had poor Shutting Phil
Douglas stunning his feet until Fred
fspp. alias Mitchell, shuffled him eight

baseball Beau Brummell, was rushed in
after all the horses were stolen.
The Giants surely are treating the
a. ~ IS
roughly. First Alexander, then Vaughn,
and yesterday Shutting Phil! How the.
mighty are falling! The Giants thumped
Phil Justify. but the Cubs did almost
as much to Douglas in the busy third
as the Giants did. The league cham
pions matched each Giant bingle in
this frame with a Juicy error.
-. Cecil Algernon Causey. the read head
ed lad from Florida who never saw a
railroad train until he had long trous-
trs, duplicated Jean Dubuc's game of
the day before. Causey held the Bruins
to four hits. The Cub punch hasbeen
as hefty in this series as that OF the
Boston Brave outfield.
Douglas got by for two innings, but
In the third the Giants started Phil
shutting. Five runs were in before
Douglas could rest his feet. Fletcher
opened the round with a sturdy punch
into right centre for two bases, and
Lew McCarty sent him home with a
two base smack plump up against the
ift field boards.
Great Day for McCarty.
Lew had a glorious batting day. He
tnacked two doubles and single. In
the last two games the biffing catcher

up.
After McCarty's hit Causey tried to do
"A little sacrificing. Merkle had an easy
play on McCarty at third. but he almost
