Ex-Outla~s in Evidence.
The Giants this afternoon brought 10
mind the Federal League. Playing
alongside OF Kauff was Eddie Rousch,
while behind the bat Bill Rariden
caught the delivery OF Hank Palmero
and RUDE Schauer. Rousch is another
former OUTLAW. who is proving ms
worth. He delivered a smashing single
which scored Ksuff with the first run
Of the game. He pulled nifty delayed
steal of second and handled himself
cleverly in the outfield. The New YORK
fans need not worry for the safety OF
outer works. with Burns, Kautf and
Rousch in there. Hank Palmero was
the only other New Yorker 10 get hit
Sam Roland who saw service last
vear. and Cunningham worked from the
mound for the Tigers, and were etec-
tive. Cunningham especially was lord
of all he surveyed. In his four innings
he allowed only one hit snd was
threatened only in the ninth, when
Kauff's single, a tielder's choice, and q
pass made him tighten up and pitch q
little With perfect support Boland
might have escaped with only one run
made off him.
The game began with a flourish OF
New York trumpets. After scoreless
first frame. KauY opened the second
with a single TO right field and made a
clean steal of second base. Merkle and
Fletcher fled out, but Rousch drove
one through Young at the rate OF
mile a minute, and Ksuf scored rather
easily. In the third frame Palmero
singled and went 20 second. when Burns
died az first. He rounded the third
when Bush booted Doyle's tap, and
crossed the rubber on Lobert's death
AZ frat.
Tigers Start in Third.
Ii was in the last of the third that
me Tigers took UP the business OF
scoring. Bush's double 70 right and
a freak, wind blown single by Craw-
ford gave them their first run. There
vas nothing freakish about two runs
in the fifth inning, made of Palmero's
lefthanded delivery. Hank clouted
Starage in the legs with the ball, and
Marty Ksvanaugh. the handsomest man
in baseball. tripled to centre and Stan
age got home. Bush scored Marty with
a long fy 10 Rousch. A base on balls
by Schauer. singles by Cunningham
and Maisel worked in with squeeze
play by Bush. resulted in the two runs
for the Tigers IN the seventh.
There were three umpires in this
game. Raider Morgan was behind the
haaRc
while Pordon held forth in right field.
The management ran out of umpires
With these three, so Morgan bore the
double burden of calling balls and
strikes and judging foul balls and

Hans Lobert will have 20 watch his
step or there will be new guardian
of third base before many moons.
Hans is having trouble with his legs
and is slowed up 10 degree where he
is almost detrimert 70 the team. In

MoGraw Shsrpens Axe.
McGraw is preparing TO cut down his
.uuad. lie has asked for waivers or
q number Of youngsters. but 10 not
ready 20 announce just who. II Is al
most certain that Jacobson will be in
Rochester when the season opens.
McGrsw has asked the National
Commission 70 investigate the status
OF Hoelke. who was with the Giants
once, but jumped 20 the Federal League
last autumn. If under the agreement
he reyerts 20 the Giants. McGraw will
send him back 10 Rochester.
Gossip has Herbert Hunter reason
ably certain Of berth with the Giants.
Jim Thorpe, however. is worried.
