v.,ton and Ferdinand Schupp, the nut
.r.,ter duet. did the pitching for the
ci,nts and they did very nicely.
One run was scored against Benton
hen the perfect infeld of the Giants
La, 70 toss the ball over the place
!. sort Of panic. The terror was
used By the appearance Of Booze, the
,Lor.stop OF the Broncos. The crowd
IAN 10 shout the name "Booe," and
80 Giants. being unacquainted with the
.r.,oms If turbulent Texas, thought
IA, II might be the signal for a Mex
IAN UPRISING. The ball went flutter-
=. along the infeld until run simply
3-,bbled in on what should have been
mere sacrifice and out.
The run against Schupp came in the
.;,tb on three hits and an error by the
r,nally blameless Herzog. Buck over
cached himself in fielding one and a
INNER reached first, packing the bags.
The Giants got two in the first on a
,l,sn hit by Fletcher, base on balls
"a KauH. a beautiful bunt by Holke
and some eccentric handling of Rari-
Ans tap TO second. In the fourth
inning KaufT stretched a single into q
,vo.bagger by a wonderful slide. He
made another spikes-on slide TO the
plsie on Holke's hit.
Buck and Dayey Hit Homers.
The eighth was the most prolific in
ming for the Giants. With Burns on
By virtue Of a single Herzog lifted the
hall over the right field fence for a
home run. Stung with envy at this ex-
bibition Of tall and lofty swatting,
Dsyey Robertson, who never rests his
read upon a pillow in Texas until he
gs,s the daily home run, drove the
ball over the lelt neld renee
This was the worst inning encoun-
tered BIZ Friday, who did the hurting
for the Broncos. Until that ninth Mr..
Man Friday looked remarkably well and
seemed 10 be keeping the swats nicely
segregated. Bonnie Kauff added to the
DAVIS amusement an alteration with
Bin Brennan. The bashful one. who IS
ont for a base-running record, stole
second and third in one inning, and It
looked as though he had stolen home,
but Brennan decreed otherwise. Ben
amin made a loud Grafton. which was
highly appreciated by a large and en-
husiastic audience. Besides the home
un. Robertson poled out a three
b,gger. which is a fair days work.

t,y that the winds Of Marlin, Tex, vii!
not blow soon upon the athletes of the
New York National baseball team. Gal
weston is very likely to harbor the
Giants when the spring time comes
again, gentle Annie.
Galveston Favored Over Marlin
Despite the denatured bill of fare
which was dished out TO the prospective
wnnant winners Of the present season
a Marlin. the team has come through
the siege in a highly satisfactory state:
There are no invalids, and the stage OF
Development reached by the Giants at
this writing is highly satisfactory 70
Manager McGraw. But as far as Mar
In is concerned there will be no such
place next year.
The baseball enthusiasts of the occa-
sionslly flooded city Of Galveston are
Offering TO give the Giants anything
ihsy nav require in the way of accom-
sodstions, and II is highly probable
that the next training season Will see
the Giants encamped on the warm
waters Of the Gulf Of Mexico. .,
To the superficial obsever-and all
Observers arc superficial at this time
Of the year-the outlook is particularly
bright for the Giant rooters. Every
hing is with the team but the pltcn-
ihg. OF course, the pitching may be
here. but 10 is impossible TO detect IL
a. this time of the uncertain twelve
month.
In the toy warm-ups with the Texas
League teams the Giants have looked
PARTICULARLY formidable, but that was 10
ot expected. There is difference IN

between the big league and minor
lssgae baseball teams. Perhaps more
Eill be revealed in regard 70 the Giants
shen they meet Hughie Jennings's lads
z Dallas and start 10 play their way
North with them.
Bill Brennan Will Stick
Bill Brennan. the American Assocla-
'on umpire, will journey with the team
81 the way North. William believes
nat an umpire should 90 through the
notons in spring as well as the play
's. He had all the umpires report FOR
saily work when he was handling the
acleaior men OF the Federal League.
II came % light that Buck herzog'
ne aviator. had something like sixty
ares Of potatoes on his Maryland
arm. This revelation led 70 the rumor
xsi herzog was ready 20 retire on the
sE millions that the tubers would

ns'zog has promised 20 stick-pota-
