Mafiih' Tex. Feb. 25-Josh Derore, tho
utility outfielder who has been with the
Giants for the last two years. broke into
the honor roll OF good hitters this after
noon. when in a practice game he made
four safe hits Two OF them were bunts to
test his speed. and he beat the throw clean
ly both. times. Ernest Lush also proved
himself an excellent bunter, as we'll as a
fast man on the bases
The game was quite an exciting affair for

order got mixed up, and the game was
over before IL was decided who had won.
McGraw gave the young players a thor
ough thrashing out during the afternoon TO
test them before starting for Dallas at
midnight. The first exhibition games OF the
season will be played tomorrow and Sun
day. Some Of the youngsters will play at
Dallas and some at Fort Worth.
1t began TO look like real baseball to-
night when a special sleeper backed up at
the little station and took on twenty-three
players, carrying uniforms. bats, bags, ETC.
Among those who We're left behind were
Wilbert Robinson, who is still suffering
from a lame foot, and Big Chief Meyers.
the Indian catcher. Meyers has few more
pounds of flesh to lose, and he thinks he
can do it better in Marlin, where the hot
baths help the process. than at Dallas or
Fort Worth.
Mathewson's arm is much better. He said
tonight that the stiffness was so far gone
that he would be able to pitch part of one
OF the games. OF the young pitchers DICK
sons arm is in fairly good condition, and
he will probably start of the game at Dal-
las Keiber Scott, Bell and Buck are in
good condition also, and it is certain that
they win get q trial in the box.
Mathewson is looking better than he has
in years. and he expects to make another
record if luck gives him an even break next
season. He was especially jolly to-day, but
the players found out later that his goou
humor was due 10 the fact that he slipped
off before daylight this morning and came
in for breakfast at O'Clock, loaded down
with a string of wild ducks he had killed
on one of the little lakes near town. The
dinner tonight was a feast. as there were
enough ducks for all the players TO get

~ RITICISM and condemnation of
I the sport of boxing is revived by
- it's opponents by the death Of
Tommy Mccarthy, who was knocked
out i'm Frisco last Friday night by
owen Moran. And as is usual when
misinformed persons seek to criticise
something about which they know
nothing, boxing is again placed in the
brutal and demoralizing class. There
is about as much justification in the
hue and cry that is going up i'm eff
forts at wiping off the statute books
the law that permits boxing contests
because Mccarthy was killed as there
would be in the same efforts at pro-
hibtng baseball football wrestling,
swimming. automobiliing, motorcy-
cling, buggy riding. horseback riding,
skating, polo, tennis and golf. None
of these branches of sports and pas
boxing on the grounds of brutality or
its demoralizing effects. There are
more persons killed while playing base
ball or football in one season than
ever have been killed in the prize ring
and as far as that is concerned statis-
tics will prove that with the eXcep-
tion of golf, tennis and. polo boxing
has been more free of fatal results
than any of the ether branches men
toned. Mccarthy was not killed by
the effects of boxing, but as a result
af a fall that would have killed a
preacher or devil, and had the floor
of the ring been properly constructed
and covered the accident never would
have occurred Hundreds of knockouts
are recorded every year without fatal
or near-fatal results, but occasionally,
probably once a year, one hears of
fatal ending of a boxing bout and then
all the enthusiasm OF the opponents
of the sport rise in indignation and
forget their daily duties in their anX-
iety to protect other boxers from an
accidental death. There are so many
arguments in favor of boxing to COM
pare with practically none against it
that there is no necessity for rehashinS
them here. They are universally rec
ognized and approved. There is no
chance that the Jeffries-Johnson battle
will be prevented because the state
lawmakers have granted permission for
boxing bouts to be held, but there al
ways is a chance for some person to
get notoriety by fighting something
about which they know nothing and
howl they will.
Sacramento continues to improve
with every game, and the way in which
the Senatorial aggregation has been
taking the Angels down the line in the
last three days indicates that there is
a lot of class to the outfit, and that it
is Just beginning to develop. With the
necessity for winning both games today
i'm order to take the series, the Angels
are up against stiff proposition, in
asmuch as they have not been able to
win one game since Wednesday,; but
