SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March g.
Playing as though they had been to-
gether for several weeks instead of
only few days. the Giants put up a
very creditable exhibition and de-
feated San Antonio to-day by TO 3.
The contest marked departure in the
training of the Giants. In other years
they mover took on an outside team
until after they had had a couple OF
scrub games among themselves and
had had a chance to boil out bit
into the game without the experience
OF even an organized batting practice.
He remarked that the old days of boil
ing out had gone. Most of the play
ers come to camp In shape these days
they haven't any beer to evaporatc
out of their systems" he added.
However, the Giants did have quite
few hits in their systems, and they got
rid OF fifteen of them including two
triples and a similar number OF doubles.
San Antonio used three pitchers. and it
Is interesting to note that every one OF
them was left handed.
Use Three Pitchers.
The Giants also sent I'm a trio OF
huriers-Bill Ryan. Reynolds Kelly and
Oily voigt-ali right handlers. and they
held the Bears to six hits. Three of
these came In the ninth inning off the
offerings OF Voigt. Ryan. who worked
the first three rounds, was found for
three hits Kelly held the locals with
out a safety In his share OF the assign
ment. Kelly, by the way. no longer Is
the property Of the Giants. He has
been sent to st. Paul in part payment
for Goidie Rapp.
Major honors of the afternoon went to
a rookie. Edwin Brown Of Ohiowa. Neb..
who played centre field In creditabie
style and slammed out three singles and
contributed sacrifice. Browns success
was very gratifying to the fans-in
spite Of the fact that he dealt few
damaging blows to the local cause. The
big fellow played with San Antonio last
season and baseball followers here want
to see him make good In the majors.
Ross Young and Fred Snyder hall from
this city Ewel Gross who played at
shortstop for the Giants to-day. Is an
other graduate Of the San Antonio club.
Young enjoyed his usual batting sue
cess on the local field and came through

Again il was Brown who started things.
He singled to centre. Gross hit for
base to right and Snyder slammed a
