Galveston, March 16.-The Giants flood
ed Beach Park with base hits this after
noon and fshed up fifteen runs. They
combed three Galveston pitchers for total
of nineteen hits, including valuable as
sortment of doubles, triples and home runs
The game was a slightly contest until the
seventh inning. when tidal wave OF eight
hits and seven runs engulfed the sand Crabs
and obliterated their chances. They did
sneak one run across the plate. but IT re-
duired the aid of New York error.
After the visitors had made a run for
every day in the month, they were weary
from travelling the bases and glad TO get
through. The day was one Of the few warm
ones the Giants have encountered in Texas
this spring and a good crowd was attract
ed by an announcement that Mathewson
would pitch and that the regular team
would appear.
All of the championship combination, ex-
cept Herzog, was paraded for the Galveston
fans. The third baseman was in uniform
but as a result Of a spiking at Marlin yes
terday he has q bad thumb and was un-
able to grasp a bat Paulet therefore took
care of third base for six innings and then
filled in at third after pitching the middle
three innings.
Paulet was one Of the hitting whales.
He Spouted 3 home run. a. triple and a
single, but committed two errors. one Of
which laid tho foundation for Galveston's s
solitary tally. Among those present with
a loaded club was Chief Meyers. He made
his two singles In the seventh inning, when
procession Of eleven men was reviewed
| by Gordon. the local pitcher. and whopped
lire drive over the loft field fence by
| way of introducing himself in the second
round
The Sand Crabs did one thing better than
the Giants, they got by with two errors
against New York's FIVE. Two flies were
| dropped in the outield but Snodgrsss and
| Devore had good excuses. A telegraph line

and four poles stand In places where out
| feders chase fy balls. Snodgrass made
hs muff after a detour around one of
| these poles. Wiltse opened for New York
| and was followed by Crandall. When
Mathewson appeared in the sixth he was
| loudly applauded. Matty did not toss any
Of his big benders, and employed only
medium speed. Williams. the local catcher.
| made reputation with the populace by
hitting one Of Matty's offerings over Muir
rays head for a triple, but when the inning
was over he was still on third.
| The Giants kept a fairly respectable score
| until the seventh Morton twirled the first
| four innings for Galveston. and was lucky
| TO be let off with light punishment. II just
| happened that no runners were on the
bases when the homo runs of Meyers and
| Paulet were delivered.
| Doyles triple and singles by Snodgrass
and Merkle got the Giants off with a two
run lead. In the next inning Meyers came
| up with two out and slammed the first
| ball over a short left field fence He hit
| 1t on line, and some street car men, who
| we're perched on their cars in the road
| outside, had to duck. The bail cleared the
street and ratified off the weather boarding
Of house. In the fourth inning Paulet
| hit one in the same direction, as far and
much higher.
| The hitting stars were Doyle, Snodgrass
| Paulet and Meyers. Doyle tore off triple
double and a single; Snodgrass scored
| four runs, stole three bases and contributed
a double and two ANGLES; Paulet made a
| home run, a triple and a single, and
Meyers weighed in with homer and two
| singles.
