FROM DALLAS CLUB

to 2 Score.

Dallas, Texas, March 4.-Despite the
fact that they were outbatted nearly two
to one by the Dallas team, the Giants
won the opening game OF the season by
the score of to . here today.
The Dallas players were fun of pepper,
but although they had been training for
two weeks. were far outclassed by the
gingery and active Giants. The weather
was somewhat cold. A stitf wind swept
the field.
Dallas scored the first run in the sec
ond inning on Martins error, a sacrifice
hit and a double The Giants had the
bases full their half OF the third. with
two out. but failed to score.
Kocher sma shed the left-field fence
with a double as starter for the fifth.
Palmero beat out a bunt. but a double
play checked of the run. Dallas in
creased its lead by scoring run in the
sixth.
The Giants went into the lead in the
seventh because Of a streak Of wildness
by Hagen, the Dallas pitcher. He gave
three BASES on balls and hit batter. A
muffed fly, together with Kelly's timely
single, gave the Giants five runs.

The Braves were in all kinds OF tough
luck last season. and didn't help them
selves any by their behavior and con-
duct in the game They were so crippled
that they were shy a considerable per-
centage Of the fighting power, and yet

Chestiness on and OF the field, might

Any one doubling Fielder Jones ability
as a manager should glance over his
record. Some critics are inclined to be-
lieve that Fielder has been overrated
but he has done more with less material
than almost any leader in the game In
five years as manager OF the White Sox
he never was out Of the first division and
won a worlds championship. In one
year in the Federal League he took a
tail-end aggregation and developed a team
which lost the pennant by a fraction OF
point.
That Jones has quite a task before him
is evident. as the Browns have finished
in the first division but twice in fourteen
years. Jones declares that he has bet
ter material at hand this year than he
ever had so he evidently feels certain
he will be up with the leaders
John Creehan. the oldest billiard critic

his title. According to Creehan. the lead
De ORC had over Ellis. starting the last
night Of the three-Cushion match at AL
fingers Academy. was equivalent to 800
points at the balkline game. but that the
new champion discovered that De Orc
was not the De ORC ,of old, and gained
confidence which ens bled him to win out
in sensational finish. Creehan believes
that in the future other players will have
more confidence against the Cuban and
will not be beaten before the match
starts as has been the case.

HE is LOSING WEIGHT
Big Fellow Describes How He Spends
Each Hour of Day
Getting Ready.
BY JESS WILLARD,
Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

New York, March 4.-One of those glo-
rious mornings that you read about
greeted me when / opened my eyes to-
day. | hoped out Of the warm blankets
and peeped at the clock. 1t was quar-
ter to 6. Right away determined to get
the jump on Monshan and Hemple. This
was the opportunity to get even with
them for hustling me from the hay the
past few days.
Calling a nice cold towel to my aid, I
stole into their room. Both were enjoy
ing beautiful snoozes. but when ] laid
that nice wet ice-cold towel on their
foreheads they opened their eyes.
1t was Just a little after $50 when the
three of us hit the road. This may seem
rather early to the majority OF folks, but,
believe me, it is the hour when fellow
can achieve the best results.
This morning, instead of walking to the
park, we broke into a dog trot the mo-
ment we reached the air, and it was only
a few minutes before we were within the
park. Hemple felt as frisky as a lamb
and broke out into a stride that looked
as If he were running a 100-yard dash.
Monahan was right behind Jack. so natu-
rally had to follow. The two conspira-
tors must have forgotten that a few
years ago l vas some runner. II their
memories lapsed, they remembered my
running powers a few minutes later, for
l sneaked to the front and led them a
merry chase. Now I don't claim to be
the greatest Splinter in the world, but
will say right now that can beat Mona
han and Hemple when 1t comes to dis
lance running.

Adds More Exercise.

As a rule we spend about forty minutes
jogging and sprinting, but today we
added about twenty minutes to the pro-
gram, so when We returned to the hotel
it was about S o'clock And when We
got upstairs you can bet there were three
perspiring big men feeling full of life
and anxiously awaiting breakfast All
of us played the old shower and tub bath
for fair. When l finished the team
started work pounding and slapping me,
so that when we descended to the din
ing-room I could fairly eat the cloth
of the table We had a swell breakfast
and then strolled out to the lobby, when
we sat around until 10 o'clock.
Then the three of US took a walk along
Riverside Drive. When We returned to
the hotel 1t was a case of glsncing at
the papers, reading the mail and lolling
around until lunch. When in training, I
eat a very light noon meal. About 1880
took little snooze until it was time
to leave for the gymnasium. The clock
was striking 100 when We piled into our
auto and headed for the club.
When l climbed into my ring costume
was really anxious to get into the i'm
improvement can be accomplished by a
week of work. Williams was the first
sparring partner to tackle me, and he
did his best to stick in his right, some
thing which I believe is a good blow
to get away from in the coming bout.
Then Hemple hustled and hustled me
about for two more rounds at a good
clip. Monahan then followed and though
he has laughing eyes, he is always try
ing to sneak one over.
After these three strenuous rounds of
boxing, Stranger Lewis started to haul
me all over the ring. This form Of wrest-
ling exercise is wonderful in developing
the wind and also in bringing on a good
sweat. When the Stranger let me loose,
| went through the usual for Of develop
ing my stomach muscles by bending
backward over a chair, and then bob
bled the medicine ball around for a few
more minutes. When the work was over
I was perspiring and steaming like a
race horse after running a record break
ing mile.
When l stripped my training toys off,
really believe they carried away two
pounds of moist flesh and I could easily
see that my waist line was beginning to
fade away. A change to nice fresh
clothes, and I was ready to do full JUS
tiCe to dinner. A little walk after the
meal. a losing game of pinochle. and l
was convinced l had put through a full
day. AS I slipped of my clothes and
rolled into the hay. weeks work was
over and had no complaint to make.
