Galveston, Tex. March 1.-THE old fault
Of holding en- opponent too cheaply cost
the Giants a game here to-day when the
Galveston team. with two out in the
/ ninth and nobody on the bases, batted
four tailies IN and walked off the field
| with the fat end OF score OF 10 to O..
The victory rather dazed tho Texas
Leasuers. who up to that time had been
unable to get safe hit of Ferdinand
tSchupp, the New York pitcher.
Only a small crowd saw the unexpected
i finish, as about half the spectators left
the park after the second out IN the ninth
Those who remained whooped II up so
strongly that Schupp lost his bearings
completely. -Four hits and base on balls
: told the tale. The fourth was three

home tho tying and winning runs.
The fact that tho game was played on
swampy ground Is no alibi for the Giants
They made enough hits IN the early part
OF the game to have scored fifteen runs,
. but ran bases carelessly and took all
sorts OF chances when they got lead
Once the locals made a double play at
the plate and in the closing innings the
Giants did not run out their hits or make
auy special effort TO gather more runs.
Sohupp entered the box in the seventh
inning and pitched we'll up TO the time
he blew UP. He struck out the first two
men on six pitched balls and famed five
mon altogether in the three innings. The
J Giants had lead of three runs when the
lefthander went TO the mound and that
edge seemed big enough for all emer-
gencies
After accommodating twelve hits and nine
runs In the first six innings the Giants quit
batting and did not strike one safe blow
in the last three. two Of which We're
pitched by Eugene Moore. the former
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati lefthander.

Giants gathered up their belongings and
prepared to depart Noyes was next and
he rolled weakly to the box for the sec
ond out. The crowd made a rush for the
exits and Jack Murray came in behind
first base to await tho finish.
At this stage Paul Sentell. manager Of
the locals, substituted Dowie as a hitter
for Moore. Dowio lined one TO right and
Murray was too far in TO catch 1t so Vt
fell into a pool Of water and splashed on
for a two-base hit. Madden. who had
famed on three pitched balls In the sew
enth. waited and accepted the only pass
that Schupp issued.
Sentell singled TO right, but Murray
made a quick return and held Dowie at
third. Still the Giants refused 10 worry.
although the bases were filed. There
were two out and three runs needed TO
tie the score.
Baerwald, q former Yankee outneldeT'
fouled of a couple and then drove

Schupp then went 70 pieces. In his de-
sire TO avoid giving base on balls and
forcing a man he laid a fast ball over
for Tarleton who hit 1t far over the
heads OF Burns and Snodgrass. Three
runners scored and had another run been
needed Tarleton might have stretched his
hit TO home run.
The base paths were muddy and water

the Giants were no more handicapped
than the locals by the conditions.
