Single Game To-Day and
Double-Header Tomorrow
With Troublesome Reds at
Polo Grounds if st. Swithin
WeakenS.
By BOzeBlGn BuIger.

r ARLY this morning Henry Fa-
r. bian manoeuvred a whole pla-
toon Of assistant groundkeepers
around the big lake that used to be
the outfield at the Polo Grounds and
by noon he hoped to catch fish with
his hands. The water started to re-
cede, Henry says, as soon as his forces
got the first drainage pipe "un-
gummed," and he thinks there's sure
to be some catfish left high and dry
In the neighborhood OF the bullpen
down In deep right centre, but he isn't
going TO tell Bill KLEIN that. The
water was so deep there at one time
that 1t was possible to row a boat
on its surface.
This continuous effort of st. Swlthin
to make good his threat OF a forty
days weep has cost the Giants a
whole wad OF money, and, incidentally.
has had a rather important bearing
on the whole National League race.
Games In the East have been 80 In
frequent that the question OF league
leadership has hung in the balance for
more than a week. The biggest crowds
OF the season had been expected to
witness the games with the Cubs and
Reds. The Saturday and Sunday in
the middle OF the series gave strength
to this belief.
The best that can be done now is
a double-header between the Giants
and Reds to-day with prospects for
the morrow. All the crowd to-day
will not represent money, however
for rain checks we're issued by the
bale yesterday while the spectators
sat In the stands roofing for dry
weather. Most of that gang will
be on hand to-day free OF charge
The rain checks, however, are good

DOUBLE BILL AGAIN
ON CARDS BETWEEN

st. Swithin Has Scored Seven
Straight Victories So Far
at EbbettS Field.
BH Richard FreHey.

CT. SWITHIN scored his seventh
- straight victory yesterday and
the proposed double-header be-
tween the Dodgers and the Cubs was
called on. II 81. Swithin's dope goes
wrong to-day between the hours Of
1880 and =, NJ, the same teams will
engage in two games. Providing the
iLclement weather takes a vacation,
the same dose will be repeated to-
morrow.
Squire Ebbets tried his gosh
darndest TO have one of yesterdays
contests staged, but Old Man Raih
Just would not stop. The Brooklyn
loss did not want TO dasappoint a few
thousand fans who were scattered
thi oughout his ball park. It looked
as though the second game could be
played when the rain let up a bit and
the groundkeeper and his assistants
tried to dry the base paths with
sponges. They worked faithfully,
courageously and conscientiously,
but Just as their efforts were making
the grounds look halfway present
able J. T. appeared again, and tho
lump said: Ladies and gen-men-
No game"
II has been learned on good author
ity that the Board of Directors OF
the National Leagfe are thinking seri-
ously OF reconsidering their decision
whereby Cincinnati will only have TO
pay three innings with Pittsburgh In
stead of the full game. II will bo re-
membered the Reds and Pirates went
but six innings in a recent game in
order TO allow the former TO catch a
train. Manager McGraw OF the
Giants protested and claimed the Reds
had ample time to complete the con-
test. The Giants manager was up
held and the Board OF Directors or
dered another contest.
Garry Hermann asked the board
to reconsider their decision, and a
is expected that but three innings
instead of a full game will be ordered
played.

Rain Costs Giants
Fortune and Ties Up
National League Race

at any game played by the Giants at
the Polo Grounds this season.
II is said that the Polo Grounds
have suffered not only from constant
rain but from lack OF drainage that
keeps the outheld soggy for some
time after the sun appears. TINS
drainage system has been considered
by expert engineers one OF the Dess
ever devised for drying a ground
quickly. But the constant rains tol-
lowing the long dry spell have forced
refuse into the pipes until some OF
them are clogged, and Henry Fabian
has called in large force OF helpers
to help clear them. The reference TO
that lake in the outfield. particularly
In right and centre, Is no exaggera-
tion.
While players and spectators have
laid back and yawned, II has been
tough going for Mr.. Fabian. This Is
one time when good groundkeeper
like "Fabe' can be the biggest finan-
cial asset on the club. The drying OF
the ground in one morning may mean
a difference OF $4,000 in receipts for
the afternoon.
The Reds are fairly itching to get
at the Giants and they make no
ority. III confidence can win a pen
nant the Reds may as well 90 ahead
and order the flag. Not only do they
declare themselves a superior ball
club to McGraw's men, but they refer
bitterly to what they term an attempt
on the part of the Giants to win by
technicalltles. When have we heard
that before7 Something seems TO tell
me that exactly those words were
used by the Giants In referring TO the
triumph OF the Cubs In 1908. That's
the year when the Cubs had the game
thrown out In which Fred Merkle was
charged with not touching second.
The Giants, in a reminiscent way.
point TO the fact that Garry Herr
mann, the man who now complains
about the resort OF the Giants TO tech
nlcallties, was on the commission, or
board, that upheld that protest uf
the Cubs way back yonder In 1905.
But 1t does make a fellow see things
u little differently when his own club
Is bitten by the pennant bee.
The sadness overs the ralned-out
Giants and Reds is but a shadow 20
the genuine sorrow that has come
upon the land with the downfall OF
the Yanks. Again the White Sox
have driven through them and from
now on II Is tight for the once proud
Yanks to get second money. Just
what could have. happened to them
we have no way OF knowing. Any IN
formation on this subject would aid
materially in answering a lot OF let
