The Pirates now lead the National
League. They gained trifling
matter Of two points on the Giants
Monday when John J. McGraw's
class neatly divided a double-header
with the Phillies.
The Pirates are two games ahead
Of the Giants. Today they were to
start four-game series at the Polo
Grounds. If they win them all they
will be six games ahead Of the
Giants. Even SO, Barney Dreyfuss
will hire no carpenters.
IT Was in 1921
Barney Dreyfuss once had an
awful experience with carpenters.
Back in 1921, MIR. Dreyfuss' ball
team was seven games ahead of the
Giants. In baseball, this is about
as far as you could throw a stone
with a sling-sh Z. Late in August
Of that season, the Pirates came to
the Polo Grounds seven full games
to the good and Mr.. Dreyfuss called
up his favorite carpenter to say:
"Iou should build me some posi-
lively grade-A emergency bleachers
at my ball pasture. I feel like we
would absolutely right away win
pennant and 1 want my customers
to have plenty of seats"
The carpenters built some posi-
lively grade-A emergency bleachers
at Barney's yard and the Pirates
unanimously lost the next five games
to the Giants. shocking misfortune
that unnerved the Pirates and heart
ened the Giants.
Seats, by No Fans,
When the season was over the
world series became a local affair
in New York and Mr. Dreyfuss
emergency bleachers were very
expensive monument to his OPP
timism
Nobody went to sit in Barney's
positively grade-A emergency bleach
GERS and there is only one thing that
hurts a baseball magnate worse
than a vacuum in the bleachers.
That thing, of course, is a vacuum
in the grand stands.
Some of the Pirates of 1921 have
been traded away. The Pirates of
1925 are a very able ball club. They
do not sing in the shower-baths as
he Pirates did in 1921 and that is
encouraging for where would ball
players learn the latest songs If not
in the cabarets at night when they
should be snoring?
These latest Pirates withheld their
real fight until the season was
lmost half done and they have all
re outward characteristics of a
champion ball team at present.

Coils in Many Ports

BIZ NEA Service
July Title to
~ the deep sea golfers cham
IL pionship is claimed by a
doughty Scotch ships master.
Meet the claimant. His name is
r. G. Latta. a four-striper in COM
mand of the Canadian Pacific liner
Montreal.
With equal ease, Captain Latta
boxes his compass or rattles out on
the fairways Of a dozen different
courses in as many ports.
His bogies and brides hang heavy
to the scalp belt.
For a roarin' sailor man from off
the deep, his skill with a niblick is
something to be marveled at.
Latta plays a game consistently
under 80 and has shot on more
courses probably than is the good
fortune of the ordinary mortal to
enjoy.
From China to lands beyond the
seven seas wherever golf is played,
Captain Latta az some time has
tried his luck in his years at sea.
He keeps in trim for games ashore
with a practice machine aboard
ship.
And when driving in the hot tropi-
cal sun under the equator he always
wears a heavy sweater. 1t Ivens up
his stroke he says.

BERLENBACH MARULLO
Paul and Tony to Clash in Newark
Next Monday.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, July Tony
Marullo, one Of the few fighters who
have been able to keep their heads
up and their heels down in a fight
with Paul Berlenbach will try to do
it again next Monday night. Theirs
will be a no-decision collision of no
more, but perhaps less, than a dozen
rounds at Dreamland Park. Newark,
N. J.
This will be Berlenbach's first ex.
hibition as light heavyweight cham
pion of the world, title he incurred
in June in a very dull visit with
Mickey McTigue.
The only excuse for their pending
match Is the possibility that Berlen-
bach might inadvertently leave his
tissue paper chin out in the wet and
get it soaked.
