played on Wednesday and Thursday.
Another change has been made In the
schedule of games on the way home.
One of the two exhibition games In
Richmond will he played with the Rich
sn6hd University.
The game played by the regular team
yesterday was one the like of which
would win q big majority of champion
ship games. Only one fielding error. a
bad throw to second by Wilson. was
credited. The hitting was clean and
hard.
Jim Stafford played a wonderful game
at second. He accepted nine chances
without an error. and some of his stops
and throws, especially to the plate. were
beauties.
Ali the members OF the team are in
excellent condition. with the exception
Of Bannon, who Is still suffering from a
bad arm.

On Monday the Giants had only fin

team was forced to take another day off.
