PREVENTS SHUT-OUT
Regulars Trim McGraw's
Colts, 5 to 3.

Marlin, Tex, March a-Becker's home
run in the third inning prevented Nc
Graw Colts from being shut out in
their first defeat by the regulars, who
took ample revenge this morning for
the three wallops hung on them by the
youngsters this week. Becker has been
making long drives in every game, and
to-day he hit for the circuit with two
on bases, and tied the score. A few
moments later, however, Murray regis
tered another home run. The score was
to g.
This game went the usual six innings,
and Was unusually we'll pitched and
fielded. Four of the veteran division OF
tWirlers mounted the box, Ames permit
ting only one hit in two innings and
Crandall holding the Colts to one hit
after he had been scored on in the third
round. Raymond and Drucke pitched
for the youngsters. Raymond was hit
for the first three rounds. but the win
ming runs were scored on extra base hits
off Drucke.
The regulars are beginning to drive
the ball about viciouSly now, and they
won by better hitting. Murray starred
at the bat, both of his long smacks TO
left being good for home runs. The sun
was as hot again this afternoon as yes
terdaS but a cool Gulf breeze made con-
ditions bearable. McGraw. however de-
Cided that one game was enough. and the
afternoon was devoted to batting and
hunting practice, during which all the
pitchers except Marquard got plenty of
work.
There will be a game tomorrow for the
benefit of the local chapter of the Daugh-

pitching innovation Of last season, is
now perfecting a new slow ball which he
described to-day as the "quiyer." He did
not intend to announce the new puzzler
SO early. but when he put the newcomer
in action to-day there was a clamor to
see more of it. 1t is not different from
any other slow ball, except that it curves
only about an inch and quivers momen-
tarily before reaching the catcher's
hands. Christy would tell nothing about
its delivery.
