GIANTS NOSE. OUT YANKS
Merkle's Hit in Seventh Inning
Brings Home Tying and
Winning Tallies.

NEi YORK. April S.-The first spring
base ball duel ever fought between
the Giants and the Yankees got under
way at the frigid Polo Grounds yes
terday and the National leaguers turn
ed a little surprise by beating the
Yanks by a score of , to =, rushing
ahead in the seventh inning when the
remodeled American Leaeuers were So
sure of winning that they were all
ready TO send the bag of bats back to
the clubhouse.
The cold, Wintry blasts which breezed
over Harlem kept the attenda nee down
to about 5000, but this hardy gather
ing unpacked a big bale of enthusiasm
over the appearance of Home Run
Baker on one New York team and
Benjamin kauif on the other The
crowd was on its feet yipping like mad
in the third INNING when Baker pound
ed the ball into the right field stand
for what loked like certain home run
1t was one of those high, powerful
drives with which Baker did so much
damage when he played with the Ath-
letics in the world series against the
Giants. But. sad to tell, this one fell
foul by couple of inches.
Benny Kauff didn't get a hit. but he
walked twice. and would have scored
on one occasion save for the fact that
ne was tagged out at the plate. Benny
showed plenty of speed, but SO did the
Yankees. Eddie Roush looked good
and got a nice hit. Manager McGraw
said that he was more than satisfied
with the condition of the club on it's
home coming, and his satisfaction was
in nowise diminished when his clan
nipped yesterdays game away from the
hosts of Monsieur Donovan.
1T was trusty old Fred Merkle who
won the game for the Giants in the
seventh lining. His chance came after
Benny kauf had stepped to the bat
with two runners. Burns and Doyle,
aboard the base paths. and only one
out. Cullop judiciously gave Benny Il
walk to first and filled the bases Then,
with the score TO | in the Yankees
favor. Merkle whacked a sma shing hit
to right field. and rushed Burns and
Doyle over the plate with the tallies
that meant victory. The score:

| The Georgetown nine seems on a
! fair way to make Il splendid record

as among the best in the class. The

continues to play the kind of ball it

Lem Owens started on the mound for
the Blue and Gray. but was so wild IN
the second inning that he was COM
pitched good ball thereafter. Neither
team hit the ball very well. Williams
connecting safely only four times, and
Georgetown six.
Cornell won mighty good ball game
from the Maryland -Aggies yesterday at
College Park. The Ithaca got two
run lead in the second inning as re-
suit of an overthrow TO first base with
two down, and scored again in the
seventh on single, a sacrifice. pass
ed ball and an inf1eld out. The Farm
ers' run was made by Richmond when
he hit to right field for homer. The
Farmers had men on bases nearly
every inning but when hits would have
meant runs Perkins frightened up and
prevented scores. Perkins. although he
was hit hard at times did some fine
work on the mound for Cornell He

Judging from the good showing of
Schupp, the Giants young pitcher has
been developed. He has been with Nc
Graw for the past three seasons, and
was seldom used except to finish
games But he has been showing good
form in the spring games and seems
to be slated to be one of the Giants
regulars during the coming season.
Following in the wake of Ban John
son, President Tener is out with a
stand against all preseason meetings
between clubs of the same major
league This probably sounds the
death knell of such exhibitions as Ban
johnson has objected to.
Johnson thinks the playing of eX-
hibition games by two clubs of the
same league is great mistake. The
Phillies, for instance, beat the Cubs
seven straight games. American
League clubs never play against each
other before the season opens. 1t was
the fact that this was allowed in the
National League that started Johnsons
does not say that he objects to teams
from the two major leagues meeting
in the spring of the year
Tener has taken this stand probably
because he now realizes it was a mis-
take to let the Cubs and Phillies play
a series of games.
Charley Herzog, manager of the Gin
cinnau Reds, has started to make
trouble early this season. In a game
which Cincinnati was playing at Co
lumbus Thursday HerZos got into a dis
pute with Empires Eriel and Bierhalter
and refused to leave the field when
asked to. The umpires promptly for
fefted the game to Columbus. Umpire
F'riel first searched the stands for a
policeman to have the obstreperous
manager elected from the grounds. but
in the absence of such an official he
took the forfeit course to establish
himself.
Herzog on various occasions has
proved that he is too hot-headed to be
at the head of any ball team that has
hopes of making good showing in d
major league race. Last spring he for
feited an exhibition game and the club
so treated brought suit and the Gin
cinnati club was forced to pay heavy
damages.
HerZog is much too cratic to ever
figure prominently in a pennant race
and he has long since proved that he is
not qualified to manage team.
This has been one of the worst
springs for base ball that has been
seen in many years Every team has
encountered cold or wet weather dur
ing its training period. and with decid :
eddy few exceptions most of the teams
will not toe the scratch in good con-
dition as six weeks of training ought
to have placed them.
Perhaps the good weather will be on
tap when the regular playing season
opens, and that. of course. would make
up for the many idle days that most of
the teams have spent since they went
into training early in March. A stretch
Of good weather during the first few
weeks of the season would mean big
profits for the club owners, for inter-
h ho !, -
spring, but the weather must do its
share.
Fielder Jones caused some real sur
prise in St Louis when he sold Clarence
walker to the World Champion Red
Sox. Fans in the Mound city thought
pretty we'll of Walker because of his
hitting proclfvities, and they have not
effect that Jones has made a serious
mis- stake in STRENGTHENING the Sox with

Carter. Nassau. beat Charles Skehens
Woods Hole, in the semi-fnal in the

contested matches ever seen here. A
large gallery followed the match, as it
was generally thought that whoever
won yesterday would win the tourna =
ment. f. w. Dyer beat W. NJ. Paul in
the second bracket.
When at the end of eighteen holes no
decision had been reached, a still larger
crowd followed them down the extra
hole to see Carter win, to 5, when he
laid his third shot dead from the edge
of the rough, and Skehens could not do
better than five when his drive had
found the bunker.
They played only mediocre golf for
the first nine holes, at which point Ske-
hens was up. having won the fourth,
fifth seventh, eighth and lost the sec
ond, third and sixth.
At the turn they commenced to play
better. Carter was par on the tenth
and eleventh holes, winning them both
but lost the twelfth to a three, one un-
der par. when Skehens laid his second
shot dead. Carter won the thirteenth
in par 1 when he shut Skehens out of
a half with stymie. He halved the
fourteenth by the same figures, when
Skehens made fine recovery from a
bunkered second shot with an approa CHI
dead to the hole.
Carter lost the fifteenth, where his
drive was short. and he was not able
to get down in 2. Skehens making a

Mitchell with left hook to the jaw.
The fourth was even. Mitchell took

from being the player he was a few
