SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March 1S.--
Ross Young, San Antonio's greatest
ball player, showed the neighbors' chill
dren why he ranks as one Of the lead
ing outfelders in the National League
in the exhibition game between the
Giants and the Bronchos this after
noon at League Park. The contest was
for the benefit Of the associated chari-
ties of this community.
In the six innings that Young ap-
peared before the home folk he re-
ceived base on balls, stole second,
hammered out a pair of two-baggers
and a single, scored three runs and
threw out local player at the Frisch
corner when he essayed to go from
first to third on a single to right.
Young's playing greatly aided the
Giants in defeating the Bronchos IN q
one sided struggle by the score OF II
to /.
The only tally made by the Bronchos
came in the eighth inning, while Jesse
Barnes, "thc pride Of Circlevilie,
Kan.," was occupying thu. mound. With
| Clyde Barfoot, the pitcher, on third
base, Jesse uncovered a wild pitch, and

Giants Have New Mascot
1t might be we'll to mention here
that the Giants have new mascot
He's baby wildcat, and umpires who
work at the Polo Grounds this season
had better be careful how they render
their decisions.
Bill KLEIN will be the first of the
National League umpires to inspect the
baby cat Bill is expected here to-mor-
row to instruct the players on the new
rules. Bill will also take look at the
cat.
The new mascot of the Giants is six
months old and was presented to Man
ager McGraw at the home plate before
the game started. Just to show Nc
Graw how much the people here like
him, the Chamber Of Commerce also
gave Jawn a silver loving cup.
AS wildcats have not been barred as
yet in the National League it will be
brought back to New York and will sit
on the Giants bench while McGraw
and his men are baseballing under the
shadows of Coogan's Bluff "Pennant'
was the name given to the wildcat by
McGraw tonight.
Toney in Good Form
Fred Toney, of Billy Goat Hill, Ten
nessee, pitched the first five innings for
the Giants and allowed only four
singles.
The Giants scored early and often.
In the first inning they chased two
runs over the plate. Burns was safe
on Gross's tumble Young walked
Fletcher bunted, and when Nuns threw
wild to third the bases were dolled up
with New York players. Doyle hit to
Fuller and Burns beat the throw
home. Kauff's sacrifice fly carried
Young over the plate.
The Giants kind of spoiled the day
for the home fans by scoring three
runs in the second inning, after two
were out. Burns walked and stole.
Young followed with a double and
Fletcher with prodigious home run
clout to deep center field. In the
fourth the Giants added three more
runs.
Nuns retired in the fifth inning and
Barfoot took his place in the box
Barfoot held the Giants scoreless in
the sixth and seventh, but in the
eighth the slaughter was resumed
Statz, who replaced Burns, singled to
right and stole second. Kinsella, who
supplanted Young, slammed a long
drive to deep right for the second
homer of the game, Statz scoring ahead
The score:
