Marlin, Tex. March l5.-Spectators at
Emerson Park this afternoon saw four
innings between McGraw's two colt teams
without yielding tribute. but those VINO re-
mained for the nine-inning battle between
the regulars and the first colt team were
taxed for the privilege, and even theh
failed TO see the regulars win.
This was the first clear day since Mon
day, and, accordingly, the Marlin Chapter
OF the United Daughters Of the Conteder-
acy took charge Of the park after the pre-
liminary game and collected from about
two hundred Of the towns beauty and
cbivalry. The women had scheduled this
game for yesterday, but it had 10 be post
poned. on account Of rain In honor OF the
occasion and 10 give the Marlin folks their
moneys worth McGraw sent his teams the
regulation distance, and the colts are high
" elated tonight because they defeated
the champs" by a score Of 70 IN the
best playcd game Of the training season.
Not ell of the athletes went the fun DIS
tance. McGraw ringing IN two or three sub
stitutes on both teams and permitting the
pitchers TO 10 only three innings each. 1t
was inst the sort Of workout he wanted

hilton games in Galveston and Houston to-
morrow and Sunday. The sunshine was
fine but q chilly wind made things bit
uncomfortable. However, it was not too
cold for the players to put forth their best
efforts.
The pitchers used plenty Of speed and
sharp curves and all Of them had ialr CON
troll. The only base on balls was gwen by
FuIlenwider in the eighth inning and strike
outs were frequent. The fielding was
snappy and the Catchers made the pase
runners behave.
McGyaw used only Wiltse and Marquard
of the regular pitchers and filed in with
youug twirlers The two southpaws worked
against each other the first three innings
and probably will be used again IN the
Sunday games Mathewson IS booked to
pitch three innings at Galveston tomorrow
and probably Crandall Will work IN the
first game at Houston.
Pierce followed Wiltse to the mound for
the colts to-day and Drucke pitched the
last three innings, this being his FIRST APP
pearance In any Of the practice games
