 BASEBALL RECORD
Play Six and One-Half Games In Three Days
 and Lose Out

Boston, May 4-Not satisfied with establishing a new major league rec ord by playing twenty-six innings on Saturday, the Brooklyn Robins and the Braves battled nineteen innings at Braves Field yesterday afternoon George Stallings tribe winning by score of 2 to l.
 SherTod Smith, Hobbies southpaw, and Dana Fillingim, the Boston spit ba1ler, like Leon Galore and Joe Oescher on Saturday, went the entire route in the long struggle, which last ed three hours and five minutes. Smith, who recently recovered from an attack of tonsi1itis, was pitching his first game of the year. He weak ened in the nineteenth inning, and consecutive singles by Sullivan, Wal ter Holke and Tony Boeckel brought the game to a close.
 In between the record breaking performance on Saturday and yester- days long game the Robins played a thirteen inning game with the Philies | on Sunday at Ebbets Field. There
 fore in the space of three games the | F1atbush clan crowded in fifty eight l innings, or almost six and a half 1 games.
 This shattered the old record which 1 the Pirates and Robins set up in 1912 1 at EDbets Field. On August 21 of that
 year the Pirates defeated the Brook 1yn team in a ten-inning game by 8 score of l to 0. On the following i afternoon the two teams played thir- l teen innings to a tie, while the next
 day the Brooklyn team defeated Pittsburgh in a twenty-two- inning l game by score of to 5. This 1 made forty-fve innings, or thirteen less than the Brooklyn team has play
 ed since Saturday.

SCHOOL BOYS WIN
 FOURTH STRAIGHT

By defeating Meriden High, 8 to O., Bridgeport High won its fourth straight game on the diamond. The local students played a loose game in the field with six errors to their credit, while the visitors contributed four, making team pebbles in all.
 One of the chief batting features of the game was the timely hitting of Centerfelder Hennegan, who bat ted in two runs and scored one him self In the first session with Burns on the paths, Hem negan singled and Burns ta1lied. After stealing third, Hennegan made the plate on a grounder, hit by Challenger to third base. Again in the second round, Hennegan came up with Burns on second. Again he smashed out a single and Burns tailed.
 Hennegan was taken out of the game to allow Derrick to play the outfe1d. Weldon, left fielder, also picked up a. couple of hits. Maher, the local second sacker, made two ! hits out of throe trips to the plate. Meriden was unable to fathom the delivery of Pitcher Lavery, who held them to three scattered hits. The score;

She will, therefore, reach the other side in time to enter the cham pionSl1ip at Wimbledon and will play doubles with Mrs. Franklin I. Mallory, who also is sailing on the 18th.

 In view of the fact that Mrs. MaI- Iory plans to enter some of the tour naments immediately preceding the English c1apionship it is likely that Miss Zinderstein also will play in these events, to secure as much prac- tice as possible before the champion shin

SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION.

these events are run off. Guillemot, who has just turned 20 years of age, was unknown ath1etical1y, a few months ago. He caught the atten- tion of Fame by beating, unofficially, the road record for eight miles of the great Jean Bouin who fell in the war. Bouin's mark for the distance was 40 minutes and 31 seconds. Guillemot was credited with negotiating the same trail inside of 40 minutes. Until the Corporal proved his ability in subsequent meetings his brilliant per formance was received with some doubts.
 The secret of Guillemot's suc- cess as a runner lies chiefly in his re- markable lung development, accord ing to physicians. When examined for the army, Guillemot astounded the military authorities with his de- monstrations of lung power. One ex- pert made the remark that Guillemot was 'taIl lungs from his waist up.''
 Guillemot will compete in four events at Antwerp. They are the 5,- 900 and 10000 meter runs, the 5000 meter steeple-chase, and the 10000 meter cross-country run.

COSTS HOLD
BACK BUILDING
Value Of Permits Increases
Greatly But Number
Slightly.

An analysis OF building statistics for
the calendar year 1919 shows that high
cost OF construction work, which has
for 10 long held in abeyance the pro-
viding Of sufficient housing for the
increase in population in the National
Capital. is a countrywide condition.
II any progress Is to be made in
catching up with current require
ments. rentals here must be adjusted.
local realtors say. to provide for such
a return to the investor that he will
put his money in houses and buildings
rather than stocks. bonds and other
securities which yield a higher rate OF
interest on money invested.
The figures on their face loom ur
splendidly. Official reports to the
American Contractor covering the
year 1919 for Ill cities give a total es-
timated value of 81, ,326. .s36. .70e for build
ing permits issued. compared with
total Of s445, ,549. .l93 for. the same cities
during 1918, an Increase of lS per cent.
In value the construction In 1913 is
about three times that Of 1913.
Two powerful considerations destroy
the magnificence OF this exhibit one
is the rapid rise in costs. In actuai
quantity of construction work. the
record of 1919 would be
much less favorable. This is indicated
also by the number of permits
granted. namely, 3s4.S41 in 1919. against
ZIG, ,26J in 1918. The increase In tne
number of permits issued Is only a
per cent, instead of 19S per cent. as
in values. And inasmuch as construc-
tion work during 1919 has been spe-
cially urged in dwellings. the small
est type of structures tabulated. II
would appear likely that the average
size OF structure for which permits
were issued in 1919. would be smaller,
rather than larger. than in 1915, when
factory construction was more active.
The other consideration. tending IN
minimize the volume of construction.
properly to be credited to 1919. is that
the comparison is made. not with a
normal year. but with one during
which all but essential building was
forbidden as a war measure. Con-
struction in 1918 for that reason was
both in volume and in value far be-
low normal In pre-war years d was
not uncommon for the building per-
nit statistics to aggregate a round
billion dollars. as compared with
total Of s4fI.5i9i i93 in 1915.
