Special Despatch TO THE sus.
WINsToN-SALEM, n. c., april IL.
After encountering beautiful weather
ever since leaving New York the Giants
ran into heavy rainstorm hero to-day
Rain fell when the Giants arrived here
this morning but 1t gave signs OF clear
Ing up about noon. McGraw. Barrow,
Foster and Graver. managers. and busi-
ness managers of tho Giants and Red
Sox respectively, motored over to tho
grounds and after looking the place
over decided there was no chance to
play. Rain started again soon after and
continued for the remainder of the day.
The last game of the Giant-Red Sox
series, therefore, had to be called on,
leaving the worlds champions In posses
sion Of the series, four games to two.
The postponement to-day was quite a
disappointment TO the New York players,
as they felt the tides had turned In
their direction and that they could have
beaten Boston for a third straight time.
The postponement also was bitter
disappointment to the officials OF the
two clubs. This looked like the best
money" town of the spring tour, as
the game was whooped UP here more
than in any other town in which the
clubs have appeared. The Mayor had
declared a half holiday and the big
tobacco plants were prepared to close
half day to give their employees
chance TO see the big leaguers In action.
The club moves on to Baltimore tonight,
where McGraw will separate the goats
from the sheep. Most OF the rockies
will be sent to their new destinations
from there
Four Players Go to Rochester.
Pitcher Jack Lyons, who was with
Baltimore before he entered the army,
accompanies Brogan. O'Neill and Pitt
to the Rochester club.
Wilbur Hubbel. the big fellow from
Idaho. has been sent to the Toronto club
of the International League. Gibson
also has made an offer to Bill Holden.
the former Yankee, who remains with
the Giant party. but Holden does not
think much OF the offer.
McGraw has offered First Baseman
Ted Miller to St Paul. but has not yet
heard from that club.
Eddie Remmel, q pitcher. is the prop
erty of the Newark club. and will be
| sent to that club as soon as the men are
ordered to assemble.
McGraw also will dispose OF Catcher
Polan. Innelder Gillespie and Pitcher
Buddy Ryan. though this trio may be
carried until the opening OF the season

Young and Chase led the Giants in
number of hits. each player getting nine
| though Hal was credited with more
times at bat. Had Kauff and Zimmsr-
man hit In their usual form New York
would have had a big edge In batting.
as Benny made only three and Heinie
| two.
We hit our stride IN Wednesdays
games and should show much better
from now" said Mc,Iraw. The pitch
ing was very good In the last two games
and the men have started TO hit"
| "As soon as the series was won there
was naturally relaxation on the part of
the Boston team" said Barrow.
Barrow Praises Winters.
Barrow is a strong booster for Jesse
Winters. The New York manager has
picked a great pitcher in that fellow
I, Winters" said Barrow In a tanning bee
to-day. IT told Mac he was a great kid
that first day he worked against us. but
he looked even better when he pitched
| against us the second time"
The Giants and Red Sox leave here
together tonight. but the two clubs part
! company at Greensboro. The Giants
move on to Baltimore. where games are
scheduled tomorrow and Sunday with
Dunn's Orioles, while the Sox spend a
