GALVESTON, Tex. March 1?.-For ex-
cellent reasons of a financial nature Can
tllon has decided to return to Houston
Saturday and Sunday to play McCloskey's
Cardinals. It's sensible move and the
people here do not feel put out a bit over
1t, as the expenses of the camp are heavy
and our old-time foes at the other end
of Buffalo bayou are in a position to turn
out better baseball patronage just now
than We are. Were the summer eXcur-
sions in full blast Joe would not need to
make the change. While Joe's men are

hey had lost to 0 in five innings in the
morning. with Falkenberg and Wilson

The Regulars. Big Fred got stung for the
two runs. and he wanted revenge when
they got together again later in the day
He got II, all right. and actually thumped
a Two Dagger in the first inning with
the bases full. clearing the cushions Aft

to beat out bunt. and did, too. keeIy

At daybreak this morning the island was
covered by a dense. pea-soapy fog that
promised to put stop to the days prac-
tice work. but the 150-fn -the-Sun heat
soon cut loose from above and put 1t to
flight.
Dave .AltiZer stayed indoors all day
nursing his cold. but he managed to eat
a 1000 average at each meal. SO he will be
hack to hard labor again today. Dallas
is beginning to wake up for the warm Sc
ries the Nationals and Giants are to play
in that city March IS and 90, and the
papers there have wired Cantillon for cuts
or photos of his players, with descriptive
matter to boost the games.
Mcintyre and Heath In THE Ham Tree
had the Nationals their guests at the
Grand last night.
The Galveston club is willing to pur-
chase the release of Jack Warner to man
age the Sand Grabs and catch, with lat
rwo-year contract. but CantillOn declined
the offer mphatically. He is satisfied
with Jack. and the latter finds his Ma
tional berth to his liking.
