Robins Game Off:
Another Twin Bill
Added to Long List

Charley Ebbets was so terrified NV
the thunder and darkness which how
cred about his ball park yesterday
that he called off the game with Chi
cago, thus adding another double
header to the Robins already heavy
list. The weather was certainly threat
ening, but few fans stormed about
the Ebbets Field gates and walked
away disgrrntled when no rain fell.
The game was called at 2:30 and the
Robins got the rest of the day off, but
the Cubs stayed on the field to COM
plete long session of batting practice.
Yesterdays game will be played off
as a part of double header on Sat-
urday, September 16. The Robins have
Elk other bargain attractions to con-
tend with before the curtain is drawn
on the 1922 season. The first double
bill will be with the Giants this Sat
urday. Then three double-headers are
scheduled with the Pirates in the brief
interim of five days. On August 25
there will be two games at Pittsburgh:
two days later, on Sunday, August 27.
the Robins will jump back to Brook
lyn for twin bill and then back to
pittsburgh for two more games on
the goth.
The Robins will be the guests of the
Giants in a. bargain-day affair at the
POLO Grounds on Saturday, September
z. Then the Cubs will come to Brook
iyn for c twin bill on September 16
ana the Cardinals on September 90.

McCrawRnen Gain While
They Watch the Hail

Being more accustomed to batting
baseballs than hailstones, the Giants
and Reds put in most of yesterday
afternoon indoors looking out. Batting
practice was on at the Polo Grounds
when the bottom fell out of the threat
enlng clouds and said clouds did some
thing more than threaten. The rain
itself was sufficiently torrential the
short time it lasted to start grand
rush for cover and when the icy and
considerably harder accompaniment of
hail came with it the grand rush be-
came grander, and the battered Polo
Grounds soon were too wet and dis
figured for a ball game The Giants
and Reds therefore called it off for
fairer day.
The postponement didn't infict any
damage on the Giants percentage fig
ures. Those remained in statu quo, as
it were, but the Cardinals had theirs
dented. They were beaten by the
Braves, and the Giants are little
more securely in their hold on the
National League lead. Much obliged"
said the Giants, with an appreciative
wave of the hand toward Boston.

Since the matches between William
T. Tilden I'd and Vincent Richards.
national doubles champions, against
Richard N. Williams I'd and Watson
Washburn, who were the Davis Cup
doubles pair last year, the committee
has been examining players records
in an effort to determine the combina-
ton which will have the best prospect
of defending the cup successfully when
the big test comes in September.
The committee last year tabished
the policy of having two men available
for singles only, with another pair for
doubles, and in view of the successful
operation of that plan in 1921 has
been disposed to follow the same line
this summer SO far IS singles are
concerned, William 7. Tilden I'd and
William NJ. Johnston appear sure of
their places, for no rivals have Sc
riously threatened their supremacy
thus far The doubles, however, is an
open question that must be settled by
the committee at its meeting to-mor-
row.
Public interest in this years contest
has been greatly increased by the ar
rival of the visiting Davis Cup teams,
according to Harry Parker, treasurer.
"Snce the public sale of Davis Cup
tickets opened, l have had 8 great
many applications said Mr.. Parker,
"and now more than a fourth Of the
seating capacity at Forest Hills has
been subscribed At that rate there
will be very few tickets left for sale

gin.

asking whether the public sale is
opened, so please state as emphatically
as possible that the public sale has

The Hugmen hit him for eleven safe
ties. and but for three double killings
put on by the Tiger infield, two with
the bases filled, the score would have
been lopsided in favor Of the Yanks.

The three runs scored by the Tigers

scored except for the base betrayal of

his hired men along a peg, and after
yeach had fouled out the Yankee
hurler decided that handsome Harry
Heilmann would look better occupying
that vacant spot at first base than he
did waving a bat at the plate.
Then the case of Jones versus Jones

was bringing the action for SANDER,

Pond Jones, in that the party of the
second part had deliberately and with

The Yanks kept pounding away at
Pillette's pesky pellets, but they failed

fourth. Here they grouped five hits for
three runs. Doubles by Ward and

Ruth helped the tallies across. With

Schang hit into a double play and
spoiled the rally. The score was tied
