SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April g
Right from Harlem and Flatbush
every mothers son of 'em," said Don
Porhrio Diaz, the noted alligator in
the patio of the Menger Hotel, when
we came upon him this evening
Who's that, Don ?" we asked.
"Tht Sc boys seated back of first base
to-day out at the stadium on Travis
Field" said Senior Diaz, Ticking some
dust off his long, scaly ulster.
They called bird bold and they
referred to Mister McGraw and his
contemporaries as the New York
Joints. That was the tip off. l can
tell Harlemite every time because ,,

RS
1T was nice game the boys put up
for the soldiers and I'd eat another
gallon Of Texas dust to see another
one like it. Of course the Giants
should have won IA to if Schaefer
hadn't pitched the final inning and
called the entire team in a round, the
pitching when they sent ina bird-no
q bold named Florence, to hit tor
Pitcher Craig.
Schaef Disgusts Don Porfrio
"On the level, if Schaef pitches any
more ninth innings Pm apt to bust INTO
tears. Schaef is comical alligator at
that, but he gets my goat the way the
game drags out when he goes into tho
box. STILL the soldiers seem to like
1T, so | guess | can stand it,
Don Porforio waved his mitt at the
Spanish chef, who was leaning out
the window, smoking bum cigarette.
The cigarettes those Mexicans
smoke would give a man the pip" said
Senior Diaz, as he dived to the bottom
of the tank
The Giants beat Camp Travis, ii to
D, and took it easy. This was the s>21e
team that held the st. Louis Cardinals
to a 3 to 0 score, and Pitcher Craig,
who twirled for the soldiers, beat the
White SoX to 0, working with the
San Antonio team. Evidently the Sox
did not play at their we'll known
worlds series pace.
A high wind, blowing directly tow
ard home plate, brought long hits back
into outfielders' hands and prevented
some of the heavy guns Of the Giants
from getting their exhibition wallops

been a home run at the Polo Grounds
1t was one of three that the rising
young Texan made to-day.
Benny Kauf peeled off two singles
before he retired, and the great Zim
busted three line drives in row for
the soldiers. Each Giant player was
introduced as he came to the plate,
and in a popularity contest it is evil
dent that Kauff or the great Zim
would win easily OF the two, Jimmie

Don Porforio Diaz reappeared at the
top Of the tank. chewing a cabbage
leaf thoughtfully.
Without and McGraw Feature
"There were two outstanding feat
urcs of to-day's game" he said
zone was the wonderful catch Joe
Without made in the sixth inning. I
thought | was reading nickel novel
when | saw him pull that ball down
as he was running with his back di-
rectly to the pill, and there didn't
seem one chance in y thousand that he
could reach it. Joe is 4 great fielder
and good alligator How the Harlem
and Flatbush boys did yell.
"Thc other feature. as | saw it, was
Manager McGraw's introduction to
