BY FRANK ONEILL.

Corsicana, Tex, March 27.-Serhaps
10 was for no other reason than 20 givo
the boys little trolley ride Of some
two hours and one-half, or II might
have been burning desire for revenge.
Whatever tho motive. John j. McGraw
sent his Giants down here this after
noon under tho guidance Of Charley
Doom, TO meet the Houston team.
This same Houston team defeated the
Giants in Houston not long ago; shut
them out without run. The shoe was
on the other foot to-day, however, for
New York defeated the Texas Leaguers
by a score Of 10 0.
II was a vapid. pointless sort OF a
game that dragged along throughout
the nine innings. Quite the best play
Of the spasm was made by George
Burns, who caught fly that resulted In
the final put-out IL was an easy ny,
but It brought a relief.
We feel 1t incumbent upon US TO par
TALLY Ietract our previous statement.
One might be justified In saying that
the pitching Of Rube Benton, on his
first public appearance, was OF more
than passing interest. Tho big Tar
Heel worked for five innings, and he
surely had a world of stuff on tho ball.
Two hits we're made off him, but he
was never in trouble. He struck out
six batters.
Rube's curve ball was working in
midsummer style and the Houston bat
ters were pretty much up IN the air.
Ray Kramer pitched the last four
frames and escaped with whole coat
Four hits were made of him. but he
retaliated by striking out four men.
Captain Larry Doyle and Biting
Benny Kauff are alternating in the
business Of starring at bat for the
team. To-day IL was Larry's turn. In
four times up he got home run over
the left field fence. a triple TO right
centre and base on balls. He scored
twice.
This game being beneath. the notice
Of Kauf, he neglected TO hit safely. Ho
shot a couple OF terrific fouls at the
right field fence, however. Lew Wen
dell, the only New York man on the
team, had a perfect day. lie got a
triple and walk IN two trips 10 the
plate.
Asa team the Giants failed 10 startle
with the hickory. They collected just
seven hits. The circumstances OF base
ball. however, made il possible for the
big leaguers 20 win. Allen, the Hous-
ton catcher, pulled a bush trick when
he tried 10 catch Doom mapping of sec
ond when Artie Fletcher was on third.
Fletcher scored easily and the crowd
laughed.
The Giants will invade Waxahatchis
tomorrow 20 meet the Detroit Tigers
an the fourth game of the series. Jen-
ninrs has arranged for liberal enter
tainment Of the boys. First he will
send his strongest team against them
IN the effort TO even up the series.
Then he will play host al formal lit
tie dance for them.
While the Giants were down here
this afternoon McGraw, Fred Anderson
and Matty were the guests of Otto
Herold, the proprietor Of the New Orr
entail Hotel I'm Dallas, at the Dallas
Country Club. where a foursome was
PLAYED over the golf course. At the
end the match was all square on bets,
but Matty and McGraw won the greater
number Of holes.
Rube Schauer has gone 10 the second
team for a while. leaving Ferdie
Schupp with the veterans McGraw
saws that 10 IS only temporary; but
there are those who think II fore
runner Of release for the Dakota
phcnom.
