(By Associated Press)

The entire National League pro- gram of four doubleheaders was rained right off the 1888 program yesterday.
 That in a way was somewhat more important than any of the three games played in the American League. While the league leading Pittsburgh Pirates were deprived of their chance to improve their record at the expense of the Phillies, they also marked up two games they cannot lose and two each that their rivals the Cubs and Reds cannot win.
 The Pirates now have fourteen games left to play and Cincinnati and Chicago thirteeen games apiece.
 Yesterdays outstanding develop ment was one of the most thorough lickings the champion Yankees have taken all season as they dropped one to the St. Louis Browns. Cleveland is still trying for sec ond place and picked up half game on the idle Boston Red Sox by de- feating the Athletics.

 The occasion was the 82-year-old guards first airplane ride. The pilot pointed over the side of the plane and told MT. Permar he was look ing down at Mount Vernon.
 "If that's Mount Vernon" said Permer then what's that creek doing in front of it; I never saw that before"

 Enters Movies
 She entered the movies in 1915, won success with her first picture, The Eternal City" and reaped an estimated million-dollar harvest be- fore returning to the stage, in 1922. At one time she was said to have signed contract calling for $7,500 weekly. Other pictures which added to her reputation, all made in the silent film era, were Mrs Danes Defense" Madame X," and Roads of Destiny"
 Her greatest triumph was scored in London in March, 1927 with a revival of Madame K" The Eng fish accorded her what critics term ed the greatest ovation given a foreign actress since Sarah Bern hardt. Women tainted under the stress of her emotional acting and thousands of admirers massed at the stage door to acclaim her.
 Money Troubles
 But off the stage unkindly fates dogged her footsteps. Besides her marital troubles, she had many financial difficulties. When her father left his $3OO00 estate to relatives of his second wife, the daughter first said she wouldn't take a penny of his money if he had a million. Later she insti- tuted, but lost, suit to break the will.
 Tn 1922 George Edward Joseph, a lawyer, sued her for $36, 1000 for legal services. She countered with a claim of 46,647 and produced endearing letters which she said Joseph had written to her. But in the end her property in New York was attached to satisfy his claim.
 In 1883 she was sued for $38,500 by guardians of three minors hurt in an accident in which she fig ured Later that year she filed a petition in bankruptcy, listing as- cts of only $500 and liabilities of $3,24414.
 Disliked Talkies
 Miss Frederick alternated between screen and stage after 1922, ap- bearing on the road in this country and abroad, including one tour of Australia. But she disliked the "talkies"
 She returned to Broadway in 1882 in When the Rough Breaks" " In 1884, after a season on the road in a light comedy, Her Majesty the Widow" she said the only thing wrong with the American stage was the lack of courage among actors to Ego out and troup again, play one night stands and give the people plays that will not disappoint them"
 Her later portrayaIs included the role of Queen Elizabeth in Maxwell Anderson's Mary of Scotland, '' in 1886, and the part of the Austrian Empress in the ga me authors "Masque Of Kings in 1937.
