TAMPA, Fla, April 5.-The Giants
gave q sloppy exhibition OF baseball
here to-day. The crudest amateur team
could not have appeared to worse ad-
vantage. The New York inheld was
veritabie sieve. and as a result the Red
sox won the second game of the series
in easy fashion by q score OF 10 to =.
Seven errors were charged against the
New York team, but had one cared to
be severe on the Giants ten black marks
could easily have been placed In the New
York error column.
Near the finish of the affair the ma
tives gave the Giants the horse laugh
when they retired a Bostonian. ana all
hands were mighty glad when the ex-
hibition was over. Fletcher was the
leading offender. He made three errors
Elm was close behind him with two.
Chase also did not play his usual nimble
game at first base, while two balls were
driven through Doyle that some would
have called errora
Jesse Barnes. tho former Brave.
started to pitch for New York. and John
Paul Jones. the Mariner. succeeded him
In the fourth inning. Both were feebly
supported. and Jones's debut on the
whole may be termed q success.
Ruth. the walloper. was limited to
two singles, but big Babe made them
count. He was responsible for five of
the Red Sox runs. Each Of his singles
Knocked in a pair of runs, while he also
carried in one run himself. His first
lick was Off Barnes in the first inning.
and his second of Jones in the eighth.

faced Babe in the fourth.
Ed Barrow started OF with an ex-
Yankee battery. Slim Caldwell being In
troduced as the Boston pitcher. with lit

seven hits.
George Dumont. tho pitcher Barrow

up for Boston. and the Giants got to him
for only three hits in five innings
Witt Plays Brilliant Game.
While tho Giants were fielding as
though their feet were hobbled. the Red
Sox gave Caldwell and Dumont perfect
support Witt and Scott especially were
brilliant. In the fifth inning Witt made
beautiful one handed catch of Kauff 8
difficult foul near the grandstand, and
doubled Burns at the plate when George
tried to score after the catch. Witt was
entirely out Of position for n throw, but
his peg came on a direct line to Schang.
Babe Ruth got of to n fine first in
ming start, betting in two runs in the
opening frame. McNally was safe on
Fletchers low throw TO first, and Strunk
sent him to third with a drive through
Doyles legs. It was hot enough to be
labelled a single. 1t sent Mentally to
third and Amos took second on Youngs
peg TO that base. Ruth leaned on the
frst pitch and clipped q hot single to
left. sending in McNally and Strunk.
The Giants tied in the third. and for
a few minutes threatened to score a
whole flock of runs. Smith dropped n
high fly Just inside the left field fou
line. and when the Boston Coach called
foul" Earl stopped running. Brennan
called It fair and Smith just beat the
relayed throw to first by an inch. II
should have been an easy double, and
McGraw gave the newcomer a bawling
out for not running.
Barnes popped TO Mc1nnib, out Burns
beat a single to Scott. Young doubled
to left. scoring Smith and sending Burns
to third. Chase singled to left, scoring
Burns. Young going TO third and Chase

has been a sad fzzle In the pinch. hit TO
Witt. and Young was run down. Doyle
walked. filing the bases
Heinie Zimm Fans.
That put II up to Heinie Zimm, hut the
noble son OF the Bronx famed on three
straight pitches. Boston Jumped out In
front again in It's half scoring four runs.
Strunk singled and was forced by Ruth.
McInnis was safe on Chase's tumble,
and Wit walked. filling the bases. Scott
singled TO center, and Ruth and Stuffy
scored.
Kauff made II easier for them by
kicking the ball around the outfield en-
ablng Witt and Scott to take an extra
base. Zimmerman gobbled up Walters
hot drive over third, but In trying TO
save his soro arm made a loop throw
over TO third. 1t pulled Chase of tho
bag and Wit and Scott scored
Things went from bad to worse in
the fourth, when McNally walked, stole
second and ran all the way home when
neither Doyle or Fletcher covered Sec
ond base. Kauff failed 10 pick up the
ball clearly In centre field, or Mike might
have been held at third base
