Yankees Defeat Red Sox?Rain Postpones Opening Day Festivities for Giants and Dodgers
Mayor Hylan
Signs Sunday
Ball Ordinance
This Ray of Sunlight Shoots
Through Gloom of a
Rainv Day
By W. O. McGeehan
While the magnates and fans were
bemoaning the luck that brought the
rain which spoiled the two perfectly
;tood openings at the Polo Grounds and
it Ebbet s Field yesterday, a ray of
.- untight shot through the gloom
almost unobserved. Mayor Hylan
signed the ordinance which permits
;he playing of Sunday baseball, which
means that there will be games at the
Polo Grounds and at Kbbets Field
next Sunday.
Latest dope from the weather man
gives no prticular assurance that
there will be any openings to-day.
"It might be showery in the morning
und then it might not," said the
weather man to Secretary John B.
Foster, of the Giants, over the tele?
phone.
"If it should be showery in the
morning 1 suppose that the playing
fields whereon you indulge in the
creat national pastime would be too
moist for your athletes to disport
upon."
"You said a mouthful," returned Mr.
Foster. "Is that the best dope that
you can shoot out?"
"If dope should be slang for predic
"?on, as I presume it is," returned the
weather man, "I am afraid that it is the
best that the Meteorological Depart?
ment can do at this time."
So, there you are. If the grass at
tho Polo Grounds is reasonably dry by
?his afternoon there will be a game
here and all of the patriotic cere?
monies announced for the day previous
'ill take place. The same conditions
ripply to Kbbets Field. The good old
-quire of Flatbush, Charles Kbbets of
he long and philanthropic locks, stands
: eafly to hold all the unique ceremo?
nial., which he plans for his opening.
Hut if the rain should continue to fa!!
alike upon Squire Kbbets and the un?
just, the opening will take place on
-ilUTday. It will all depend upon 'he
?iietaorological conditions or some
? h mg like that.
?'resident Charles Stoneham, of the
iiatita, has announced that the special
invitations for the opening day will be
i..)od whenever the opening day hap
..ens to be, which will take a load off
'he minds of the guests who are still
nolding his K. S. V, I'.s. The decorations
which Mr. Stoneham ordered for yes-|
terday's opening will be -ontinucd as
iong as necesasry.
The first Sunday baseball game will
be staged by the (liants and the Phillies
at the Polo (?rounds on May 4. This pre?
sents a unique problem to the manage?
ment of the Giants as to the advisa?
bility of playing a Monday game. Some
if the shar.is on baseball law as it is
nterpreted by th?j National League
naintain that it will be all right for
them to play one of the postponed
games on Monday.
There is only one argument against
'his. How about the hard working
baseball player, who will then have no
day off? Also, how about the hard
working baseball writer, who will have
'?> watch exhibitions of the national
pastime all through the long week?
'ipponents of Sunday baseball at the i
Hebrated Albany hearing declared
?hat the weary athlete who works at
o game Mould have his day off.
The problems which follow the en
-..?non of the Sunday baseball games
may call for a ruling from the sched
le committee.
Some glad news drifted into the
Giant office yesterday through the driz
? le. "Phre missing thletes are on their
way to report to the (iiants, and two
of them are pitchers, l'ol Perritt and
Fred Toney. The other ?s Davey Rob?
ertson.
The arrival of Polonius Perrit. which
.? cheduled for to-day, wil bring con?
siderable relief to Manager Mc(.raw.
Long before the start of the current
s-ea8on Perritt announced that he had
truck it so rich in oil that the only
?hing he intended to do in the future
was to clip coupons. He seems to have
weared of counting hi soil-gotten gains
"or he will bo on tho Giant bench to?
day, if the (iiants are gathered there,
loney is on his way and wil report be
ore the end of the week.
Davey Robertson wil report, but
probably w illnot linger long. MeGraw's
outfield is now organized to his ss;tis
"action, and Robertson wil Ibe traded
efore long for something in the line
if pitching material, which the (.?ants
an -use very nicely right about this
'.?me. Perritt and Toney were badly
needed.

Huggins Men Rave, Rant,
Flourish Fists and Win
Umpire Tom Connolly
Stirs Up Real Hornet's
Nest in Eighth Inning
By W. J. Macbeth
BOSTON, Mass., May 1.?This May
day of 1919 is not one that will arouse j
tho progeny of battling Kid Frazee j
to lusty cheers when memory recalls I
its somersaulting from in years to J
come. Not particularly that the world '
champions blew their home opening |
to the Yankees by a score of 7 to 3, ?
but because so few people paid to see
the feat.
Heating the Red Sox never was so j
particularly tough for any aggrega?
tion that wore the livery of Gotham.
Beating the Hub Americans, with |
George Mogridge in the box was al- ;
ways more or less of a formality
that painful 10 to 0 fiasco in New |
York opening day was but the ex?
ception that proved the rule. But
beating Tom Connolly in his home town
is something else again.
The whole story of the game cen?
tres around this Tom Connolly, his
decision and its results. The king of
posers; the court jester of his nibs,
the Czar of the American League, who
has done so much in his blatant way
to discredit and who keeps a lot of
misfits on the job when real umpires
like Bill Brennan are foot-loose; the
man who has little more than a mask,
shin guards and chest protector to re?
commend him for the office to-day won
the brown derby hands down.
Old Nemesis George
George Mogridge, the Nemesis of the
Sox, took Carl Mays over tiie hurdles
for seven innings about as handily as ;
the manipulator of the submarine de
livery can be taken. Whether or not he
weakened in the eighth is beside the
question. AnyhoAv, Harry singled and
Strunk doubled. Quinn was in the bull
pen warming up frantically, so Hug
gins ordered his southpaw to take no
chances with the mighty Habe Ruth,
preferring to wait til! Habe got out of I
the way before substituting a right
handcr. Mogridge finally brushed Babe's
shirt, filling the bases with none out.
Then came .lack Quinn. He had
Stuffy Mclnnis in the hole before the
latter, in a wicked swing, scratched a:
/ittie roller down the first base line. It I
was the easiest sort of an offering for
the pitcher, who fielded the ball. But,
despite the fact that the fielder had the
right of way in such cases and though
Quinn might have had time to tag the
batter and then make a play at the !
plate, and though Stuffy had the whole ;
held to try to get around he went into !
Quinn just like .lim Thorpe used to hit '
the rival line when he was footballing
at Carlisle.
Mclnnis didn't only knock Quinn
down and kick the ball out of his hand '
-he walked all over Quinn's face. He I
left a trade mark or two on Jack's j
brawny pitching arm. If he had only
thought of it he probably would have
kicked out an oye or two in passing.
Not even the most rabid Red Sox
rooter dreamed that Mclnnis would be ;
allowed to get away Avith it. It was I
a plain case of interference, if not '
worse. They expected -an out to be ;
called and the runners sent back. But i
Connolly, dense as the Sphinx when ap- !
pealed to, put it all up to poor Nallin,
who had waved all runners safe.
Huggins frantically appealed to Nal-!
lin, Xallin walked in, called Connolly i
aside and gave him an earful of the
"whispering-Avillie" stuff, in which he
American League parliament abounds.
After which Connolly loudly proclaimed
himself, its usual in favor of his own I
good, home town.
Say, who said those Yankees didn't '
have any fight? It would have been
worth the carfare here for any Polo
Crounds fan to see them the next fif
teen minutes. They raved, they ranted,
they flourished brawny fists. Even i
Wally Pipp, who seldom raises his ',
voice higher than that of a Sabbath '
school teacher, made such a demon?
stration that Connolly ordered him
from the game. What he said couldn't
be heard in the stands. Hut a coroner's
jury couldn't have failed to exonerate
him had he gone so far as to get busy
m earnest.
Only Two Tallies
i Out of it all, after Lamar had gone
to first, Boston got only two tallies -
; enough +o tie the score- when every- ?
1 body expected them to get as many as
; they cared. That New York showed up
1 the Red Sox in the ninth much as they
themselves had been shown up back
home opening day is altogether out
[ side the argument. Connolly did his :
. best, but there is some limit even to
! what a home town boy can accomplish.
George Mogridge was very, very
: god. He was the old master of the Red
' Sox. His fast ball was breaking Avith a
i snap; his curve a thing of beauty.
Until he weakened. Boston's hits were

just accidents. But he did weaken. Like
most of the Yankee Ditchers that have
started he appeared still a few rounds
short of championship form.
Carl Mays was far from the master
of that opening day in New Y,ork. Tobe
at his best this underhanded slinger has
to have absolute control. He lacked
that control this afternoon. That he
wasn't murdered was due solely to
good luck, not. good management. The
Yankees one and all hit him hard
enough throughout the game to have
knocked out half a dozen fielders.
Fielders kiled off a dozen hits simply
because they couldn't get out of the
way.
Not only that, but Boston got the
breaks other ways. They got off to
an undeserved one-run lead. Baker,
after a neat stop, threw wide and low
on Bany in the first inning. Strunk
sacrificed. Then Kuth doubled over
Lewis's head for the run. Mclnnis
scratched a hit midway between the box
and third base, but Mogridge, who
fiielded the ball, made the play to third
and nipped the Babe when he overran.
In their second, the Yankees stepped
out in front with a brace of counts.
There were two down when Ping Bodie
shot one through Mclnnis, Suffy los?
ing out on a treacherous, low hop.
Ping stole second. On a hit and run
play Muddy Ruel pumped a beautiful
one-timer into center field, scoring
Bodie, and himself moving to second
on the throw in, Mogrldge followed
suit; on his clean single to left, he
pulled up at second while Ruel sped
across the plato like a streak. But
Sammy Vick, who had fanned before,
fanned again, and the rally was over.
The Yankees were always rapping
at the door but got no further till tin
seventh inning. It was friend Ping
again who started the trouble here.
lie opened the round with a pretty
double to left field. Ruel singled
through Thomas. Mogridge- died to
the box, and Vick popped to Thomas,
but just then .Mays got rid of a bad
wild pitch that scored Bodie and sent
Ruel to third. Peck walketl but Pipp
lined to center.
The game looked to be on ice as it
swung into Boston's eighth. Then the
storm described above broke without
warning.
New York might have taken revenge
for that opening day humiliation had
it hut started its ninth inning rally a
trifle earlier. It didn't organize till
two were out; Ruel whiffed and Quinn
flied to Strunk. The club was fighting
mad, however, and showed it. Vick hit
wickedly toward right. 1'eckinpaugh
crossed the Sox infield with a perfect
bunt. Thomas tried the impossible for
a bare-handed play and turned the
ball away into a two-bagger. I.amar,
in f'ipn's place, waited for a walk. This
filled the bases. Reliable Homeiun Ba?
ker, who had been clouting Mays hard
all afternoon even though hits wouldn't
safe, here smashed a beauty single to
centre field that scored Vick and Peck.
A wild pitch scored Lamar and when
Schang threw poorly to Mays at the
plate Baker reached third base. Pratt
walked. He pulled fhe delayed steal.
Nobody covered for Schang's throw. It
carried to the outfield, allowing Baker
to tally.

THE Giants' pitching department was decidedly improved yesterday, when Poll
Perritt and Fred Toney wired they had accepted terms and were on their way to
join the McGraw men here. Perritt (on the left) was the Giants' most dependable
righthander last year, and Toney (on the right) was a consistent winner in the few games
he pitched last season. . The Giants need both men badly.

Swamp Team From
Yonkers Seliool
The New York University freshman
track team swamped the athletes of
Yonkers ilign School in a dual meet
held on Ohio Field yesterday. The
final score was 57 to 24, and the
majority of the Violet points came in
the field events. In the latter compe?
titions the Yonkers youths could only
collect two points. Rain fell through?
out the proceedings, but it only seemed
to affect the contestants in the field
contests.
Weatherton, the freshman high
jumper, was the individual star for his
team, inasmuch as he finished first,
second and third in the three field
events. In the high jump, his spe?
cialty, he leaped 5 feet 5 inches,espe?
cially creditable under the slippery
footing. Both teams were strong in
track material, with the New York
boys gaining the advantage in this re?
spect by ?t small margin. Carpenter,
of Yonkers, won both the 10(1 and 220

(Copyright, 1919, New York Tribune Inc.)
The gay and giddy phencm of tender years who makes a dash for
tho. peak in sport always gives out an interesting interlude.
The populace esteem him with vast acclaim, and all the rest of it. !
But after all the most interesting types are those who fight their way to !
the top and stick with fast company long after their old mates have!
faded into the mists-?
Such men as Hans Wagner in baseball: Pitzsimmons in the ring; \
John Ball and Walter J. Travis in golf; Bill Larned and Norman E.
Brookes in lawn tennis.
The Case of Brookes
Considering the high esteem in which all America holds Australia
and her hunting forces, the case of Norman Brookes is worth a few ?
recollections. Desrite the fact that he was playing championship tennis
fifteen years ago. Brookes still heads the Australasian team in the Davis
cup affair and from all reports is well back on his game.
We have no authentic record at hand of Brookes's age. But he is
certainly out beyond 40?possibly 42 or 43. And when a man has cham?
pionship tennis in his system around 42 or 43, he is at least a trifle beyond
, the normal, Maurice McLoughlin first stepped out among; the elect in |
190!)?just ten years ago.
And that same season he fell before Brookes in the Davis cup chai- !
longe round.
i Brookes won from McLoughlin again in 1911. But in 1914, just after ;
war had ben declared, McLoughlin finally obtained his revenge in the
greatest lawn tennis match ever played in a championship m?l?e.
That was five years ago and yet Brookes, a veteran in 1914, is back
in harness, ready to defend the trophy he and Wilding carried home five ?
years ago.
Cool, steady, brainy?possessing wonderful stamina and rare judg- \
; ment?Brookes is one of the marvels of the game. No one who saw that ;
, match in 1914 with McLoughlin will ever forget the battle between the :
brilliant, slashing Californian in his prime and the veteran lefthander
\ from the other side of the world. That match, and his meeting the next
day with Wilding, helped to burn McLoughlin out, for he has never j
I reached the top since.
Brookes and Larned
In the way of surpassing stamina, Brookes and Bill Larned were ;
? much alike. Larned stepped in among the first ten in 1892. Nineteen ;
: years later, in 1911, he was still on top.
Nineteen years is no light span for such a game as lawn tennis. ;
! Larned and Brookes met but once in a Davis cup match and that was in ,
' 1905 when the American star defeated both Brookes and Wilding.
Larned stepped down and out after 1911. That ended his nineteenth
year among the elite and he considered that long enough.
Brooks's play this summer will be closely watched. And if any one ;
cared to arrange the greatest drawing card in the tennis calendar to-day
it would be to bring Brookes and McLoughlin together again.
An Advance Hunch?
Reviewing the Davis cup semi-finals of 1914 brings on an advance,
hunch that might have been played.
In that affair we note where Brookes and Wilding of Australia :
mopped the eternal sward up with 0. Kreuzer and 0. Froitzheim of
Germany, both in singles and doubles.
The mopping up by the Australians was both thorough and complete, i
It was shortly after this match that the two German tennis entries were ?
transferred from a ship at sea to the lawn tennis plateau on top of Gib
ralter, where they still may be, for all we know.
In Which a Prediction Is Made
Sir: I'd like to make two predictions in regard to the Willard-.
; Dempsey match. I have seen both fight many times and have studied i
i their styles, speed, stamina and boxing ability. I believe I know where ;
: I stand. One prediction is that Dempsey will enter the ring a favorite j
in the betting, despite the fact that Willard is the champion and will
outweigh his opponent 00 or 70 pounds. The other is that Dempsey will
knock him out inside of ten rounds. Just keep these two predictions in
mind for July 5. Ring Observer.
r
If Dempsey enters the ring a favorite in the betting, it will be the
first occasion of the sort in recent championship history. Sullivan was
the betting favorite over Corbett, Corbett over Fitzsimmons, Fitzsimmons
over Jeffries, Jeffries over Johnson and Johnson over Willard. All of
which did not prevent the other entry from removing the champion's
crown all along the line.
If the pennant season had opened April 12 or 14, as before, it would
have drawn unkempt weather in widespread quantities. Opening ten
days later than usual, the weather was just, as bad. The evidence seems
to be that one week in April is the same as any other, on a bet, and that
practically none of them is (it for a baseball opening.
Joie Ray Will
Receive Credit
For New Mark
Three Other Records Also
To Be Allowed; Full Dis?
tance Was Covered
By A. C. Cavagnaro
Credit will be given to the four ath-1
letes who established two new world ;
records and two championship records
at the recent games of the 13th
Regiment Athletic Association, accord?
ing to a statement by Frederick W. ;
Rubien, president of the local. asso- ;
ciation, yesterday. Previous to the
competitions the six-lap track was |
certified as to correctness by several
engineers and the following day the
track was again measured. The oval
proved to be more than six inches over i
the required distance to one lap, there
by showing that Joie Ray, in his es- '
tahlishing of a neAv 1,000-yard mark of ?
2 minutes 13 2-5 seconds, covered al- ?
most two feet more than required.
In fact, at the three other distances ,
in which new records were made the
distance covered proved more than ;
called. The 60-yard sprint, which mark |
Fred Teschner loAvered to 6 3-5 sec
onds, was live inches over, while in the !
100-yard run "Yippy" O'Brien travel- |
led seven inches 0Arer the distance in ?
lowering the mark to 32 3-5 seconds. ;
The 220-yard run, which Loren Mur- !
chison won in world record time of
22 3-5 seconds, was actually 220 yards <
and four inches. The officials and
timers who acted in the four contests
have attested to the fulfilment of the
A. A. U. rules in all respects and ac?
cordingly will recommend that the
four runners be given due credit for
their respective performances.
Jack R. Sellers, the national mid?
dle distance champion, announced yes?
terday that he had retired from ath?
letics for the time being to regain
much of his lost strength through ex?
cessive running during the past Avin
ter. Sellers does not contemplate don?
ning his runiing shoes until the mid?
dle of next month, when his first ex?
hibition will be at the New York Ath?
letic Club summer pames.
The rugged Brooklynite declared
that his hard campaign on the track
i had cost him twelve pounds, and that
? he was anxious to regain eight pounds
1 before he resumed running. He at
tributed his poor showing against Joie
. Ray through his many hard races, but
; hoped to vindidate himself the com?
ing summer when he hopes to again
: face the Windy City boy.
The much sought Loren Murchison
will again appear before local athletic
followers in the 300-yard special run
: at the Samaclar Athletic Association j
'? games in the Seventy-first Regiment
Armory this evening. The St. Louis I
athlete appears to have an easy vie- !
tory before him, although numbered
among his opponents are Eddie Ilosmer. ?
Jimmy O'Brien, Arthur Reilly and j
Alex Rothschild, who are especially i
speedy men at this distance.
Five open events are also on the pro- j
gramme, in addition to the races
closed to athletes of the clubs of the
association. Homer Baker is the
scratch man in the 1,000-yard handicap .
run, while George Darnell is the honor
mark in the 300-yard handicap run.
Baker always has shown at his best
in contests in which he has started in j
the Avake of his fields and he hopes to ,
make this effort the best this season. !
The Loughlin Lyceum will re?stab
lish its historic Loughlin Derby at 660 '
yards at a set of outdoor games on Mc- ;
Goldrick Memorial Field, Greenpoint. |
Brooklyn, on June 8. Five special
races are. to grace the programme.
