Galveston, Tex. March l9.-Galveston
baseball fans failed TO enthuse over the
exhibition same here to-day and thereby
missed a good thing when the Washing
ton Regulars defeated the Yanigans by
6 to IN a breezy clash. Only twenty
seven persons were in sight when Jerry
Eddinger abandoned his position as gate
keeper and generously admitted three
small boys hanging around the outside.
II was the last game between the two
divisions OF the Washington squad. as
the Yanigans left at p. m. in charge of
Manager Hughes, for Wichita, where they
will play Saturday and Sunday
Manager Cantlllon received a letter to-
day from Poe Gardner. owner Of the DaI-
las bah park. saying McGraw had sud
denly refused to allow the New York
Nationals 10 play Washington in Dallas.
on March 2S and %. and Gardner asked
for a date with the Dallas team. This
was cruel surprise. as both Cantillon
and his men had figured on both money
and free advertisement by going after the
Giants. Instead Of accepting Gardner S
proposition, Cantillon got into communi-
cation with McCloskey and arranged two
more games between Washington and the
St Louis Cardinals, which viii be played
in Houston, March 2S and %. Also, in
stead OF leaving Galveston on March IS,
the Washington squad now expects TO
remain here until the morning of March
2S, as It is only one and a half hours from
Galveston TO Houston.

No other change was made in the Yam
igans than the exchange Of Bill Burns
for Falkenberg. and Bill Kay was left be-
hind in Galveston to be picked up by
Minneapolis, with which club he Will
play the coming season. This was pre-
dieted in The Washington Herald a month
ago

the first four innings for the Regulars to-
day, and did nObly. shutting out the Yam
igans. and allowing only three hits. Kee-
ley was jumped on for two doubles
and two singles in the fifth inning
which netted those Vans three runs. and
gave them false hopes After that he
was invincible until the ninth inning.
when double by Tony Smith, bad er-
ror by Gates. a single by Meinke, and
some raw work on a double steal by Tony
Smith and Hughes. gave the Yanigans
two more runs. He was right there with
the fielding. as usual, and managed Il
sandwich in three assists and two outs
in the five rounds.
Wilson was the only Yanigan twirler
hit hard. He was tapped for six hits
IN three innings. Two runs were made
on Falkenberg in the fifth inning, but
while two hits were made off him ia
that session. both runs were due to er-
rors- Patten really lost the game or
prevented a tie. by starting the eighth
inning with a pass to Mcbride that be-
came a tally.
