George Gardere, of Waco,
Sends Jeff's Spitball to
Centre Field.
BUT HIGH SCHOOL
SUFFERS SHUT OUT
Game in Honor of ST. Patrick
Proves as Dead as Snakes
of Ireland.
Bv HAYWOOD BROUN.

Marlin, Tex, March 17.-Untn to-
dav George Gardere had no history.
Present possession Of red hair and
frccklcs and past partnership IN mumps
and measles distinguished him neither
in appearance nor career from hall
hundred future white sovcreigns OF
Falls County, Tex. But Just as the
train from Waco was pulling into the
station this afternoon George became a
public character.
Above the foot Of the train rose the
sharp sound of the impact OF wood and
leather. JEFF Tesreau had pitched
spitball to George Gardere, and at the
point where this story opens the BOY
was i'm the act Of smashing clean
single TO centre field Young Mr.. Gar
deere reigns alone in the hearts OF his
countrymcn.
There were no more singles against
Tcsrcau, nor against Pcrritt. and the
Giants defeated Marlin High School by
q score Of 9 TO 0. The game was IN the
nature Of an annual sacrifice TO the
memory Of St. Patrick.
In future wears George Gardere may
become President Of these United
States or develop into another Mathew
son. Yet, If he turns out badly ana
enters the Texas Legislature or pitches
like RUDE Marquard, there is no
changing what is already recorded. lie
hit big jeff Tesreau for single.
BY and large, the game was as dead
as the snakes Of Ireland. We doubt II
the saint would have sanctioned It:
Not content with the superiority OF
years and weight. McGraw gave lnman'

Marshall and Wendell did the catching
Cor the high school team.
Neither Perritt nor Tesreau showed
any disposition 10 let down for their
Youthful opponents, but kept the ball
shooting by as if they were opposing
big leaguers. In consequence the laos
had short shrift at the plate.
On the bases the Giants gave the
bovs many opportunities, but the young
Texans could not stop their opponents
even when they ran wild. Almost the
entire SQUAD Of Giants got into inc

the rest all insisted on showing their

in discussing pitchers the other day he
remarked: cone reason that Mathew
son has lasted so long is the fact that
he has seldom been called upon TO
pitch out Of his turn. AS matter OF
fact, his pitching motion Is wearing
one. as he let's his arm do most OF the
work and does not follow through suf-
fciently with his body TO relieve the
strain. His motion does not begin to
compare in ease with that OF Bugs
RAYMOND, but OF course Bugs had the
most natural motion Of any man /
have ever seen IN the game
