Allen Russell. q brother Of Connie Ma"ks $
expensive pitcher was I'm tho box for Bal
tlmore when the game started, but was
taken out at the end Of the fourth inning
with the score 10 against him. fe"
days ago Russell mystifed the Phillies Win
his spit ball delivery and 1t was eXpected
that he would hold the Giants 10 close
score this afternoon. The weather Was an
ideal spring brand. and a crowd OF $500 wit
messed the downfall of Russell
Few Of the "fans' thought ii possible that
the Giants would make the Orioles look
worse than on the first day. Russell was
deliberate. but he could not fool McGraw' 3
men. Even with sharp break 10 his spit
tel. he did not strike out a man. Ipe
champions climbed aboard his delivery for
three runs and kept pecking away al MN
until he quit
The second Baltimore tw.rler was Letty
Smith. stunted side wheeler, who made
reputation by tanning nineteen batsmen III
a game in the Canadian League last sea-
SON Smith got by for one inning and then
caved in However, he famed six Of the
big leaguers getting Merkle twice.
Instead Of pitching Marquard. as he had
intended. McCiraw worked Wltse. and sent
Marquard home on an early train. with the
information that he would start against
the Jersey City team at the Polo Grounds
tomorrow. Wiltse looked better In the box
than at any time this spring. He scattered
four hits among the Birds in five innings,
and was then relieved by Fulenwider. the
South Atlantic League graduate. Fullen-
wider had not pitched a regular game since
the team left Texas, but he fooled the
orioles with a change Of pace and by work
ing the corners The eighth inning was a
bad inning for him. but even then only two
runs should have scored.
When McGraw changed batteries in the
fifth inning he released several other play
ers from active and bench duty that they
might connect with a o'clock train for
New York Shafer went to short, Burns to
centre and Crandal TO left field.
The Giants ended their long training trip
with a record of only one defeat, and that
was registered in Houston three weeks ago
The team will come home In excellent con-
dition-probably better than any other big
league team. The Giants lost only two
days, and one was Sunday, when the
weather was good.
Mathewson is little backward. and Will
son still limps little. There are no other
crippes. and the team is faster individually
and collectively than II ever was before.
1t Is fairly certain that Marquard will
pitch the opening game in Brooklyn next
Thursday. The team left here at midnight
in the two special sIeepers. and will detrain
in New York, at the Pennsylvania uptown
terminal. about o'clock.
