ter trained than any team in the National
League
In the squad OF regulars that left here
at midnight for Galveston there is not a
pitcher who could not take his place on
the mound If the championship season
opened tomorrow. AS far as condition
goes the Giants are ready.
While the morning practice period of
routine training practically ended with
the abandonment Of the Marlin training
camp. the Giants will mark time briskly
for the next three weeks.
McGraw will keep them hustling, anC
as he has all the old pitchers with him.
except George Witse, he will see that
they do not lose the benefits OF early
training. The managers problems now
are 10 settle the third base question, get
Fletcher back into sound form and fiji
Bescher TO a place in the outfield. Other
wise the team Is strong and not man is
complaining Of physical ills.
Nearly fifty players of McGraw's party
got out of Marlin at midnight over two
different roads The manager himself

and reioin the regulars al Houston on
SATURDAY,
The first team will be commanded by
Larry Doyle and Dick Kinsella at Gal

likely cover the short field at Galveston
Fletcher PLAYED short in to-day's prac-
tice game. but he played il with catch
er's mitt and made two errors in six
chances. lie gripped bat we'll enough,
however. to get home run.
The last CAV was the best Of All for
training purposes. The sun was
scorcher and even the breezes were hot.
The temperature was well up in the
eighties
McGraw assembled his men at Emer-
son PARK early this morning and sweat
ed them through a two-bour workout
The Giants had been notified TO be ready
at o'clock for their automobile trip TO
the Brazos River Falls where the fish fry
awaited them. but they did not lose the
afternoons work. McGraw had them out
again at o'clock, staged nne-inning
game between the colts and regulars and
still kept the o'clock engagement
Larry Doyle's team finally put it over
he tribe of Donin, but had a narrow
escape from disaster in the ninth inning
The score Of the only game won by the
Doyles in the Marlin series was 10 :.
The regulars drew for their first pitcher
to-day, and Big Six" the veteran OF
many wars thawed out sufficiently to let
the colts down with four hits and one
run in five innings Tesreau, who worked
against Matty. had his first bad day. and
was touched up for eight runs in the third
and fourth innings.
Quite dramatic was the finish. Pal

knk out Of his arm almost resulted
fatally for Doyle dutch" Ritter. who
finished for tire colts. whizzed them over
so fast that the regulars could hardly
see the ,ball
In the last half OF the ninth inning
he score stood S TO 4. In a jffy the
,olts damned the bases with one out.
he next batter was Donhn, who had
previously mauled the Cuban for a triple.

-ases. and the score stood 20 :. with one
man out and a runner on third base.

faded The next batter grounded to the
nfeld and Sir Michael was run down
FOR the second out The next man flied

The Giants packed away their shoes
and bats i'm the big hamper and after a
final rundown al the bathhouse slowed

and hurried out 10 the fish fry.
The score follows:
DOYLFS. DONIINS.
