Someone certainly mixed things In
the weather handed around at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon. All pre-
dictions stated that balmy spring
breezes would be on tap. But somebody
accidentally lifted the lid off the winter
tank wares, and before the mistake
was discovered snow was falling and
the wind was blowing like in January
or February.
It all served to keep the fans away
and just about five score bugs turned
out to witness Joe McGinnity's band
of Tigers and McGraw's pennant-win-
ming Giants fight 1t out in h first of
a two-game series, the final scheduled
at wiedenmayer's Park today.

Big Jeff T~esreau, who is known to
local fans, having twirled for the Maple
Leafs last season, was on the mound
for the Giants, and he gave an exhi-
bition of V innings that will surely
hold him a regular position with the
New Workers.
All the Bengals were able to see MIN
