Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HEkALp.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March 9.--Misery
Is rampant tonight among the Tortilla,
or regular division OF the Giants. while
the young Enchiflados galliyant about
the Menger Hotel just as full or pepper
as a consignment OF chilli con carni IL
is all on account of something which
happened over at the ball park this
afternoon. The Enchillados not only de-
feated the regulars, but shut them
out, 2 TO 0. This result left the recruits
in the lead In the series with the vet
Grams by two games to one.
The Tortillas tried to blame their set
back on the wind which carried Leo
Kane's liner away from George Burns
In the second inning and gave the rook-
les their first run. But the regulars
neglected to say anything about the
second Enchillado run of the four which
would have beaten them anyway. AT
any rate, the Tortillas are too sore to
argue this thing out with strict ad-
herence to logic.
The Tortillas got some great pitch
ing from Phil Douglas and Arthur Nehf,
particularly from the latter. The south
paw made his first appearance of the
season and In three innings held the
youngsters to just one hit. But IL the
regulars hurting was good the recruits
pitching was even better Claude Dav-
enrort and Reynolds Kelly shared the
honor of handing the big fellows a coat
OF whitewash Davenport yielded only
ono hit and Kelly two.
Kane In ScintillatinK Debut.
One OF the features of the afternoon
from an Enchillado viewpoint was the
deput of Kane. who was purchased from
Hartford and Is third basenan. Kane
Lad been out with various slight all
ments brought on by the change of cii-
mate. but this afternoon he came out
of retirement with burst Of speed and
fielding ability which put him on the
map with a star like a state capital.
In the field he worked with business
like effectiveness. while with the bat
he accounted for the aforementioned
liner past Burns, which gave him a three
base hit.
The game was marked by more than
the usual keenness of competition be-
tween the Tortillas and Enchillados-
After the defeat yesterday the recruits
went about the lobby OF the hotel offer
ing odds that they would reverse the
decision to-day. There were many
takers. AS n result Eddie Brannick was
besieged this evening with requests for
advances Eddie has posted n sign, no
betting on this series"
Ii was with a changed battin order
that the Enchillados took the field to-
day. Kane took the place of Monroe on
third, the former Beaumont infelder
going to the Tortillas and relieving
F'risch at second base in the later In
nings. Hunter went to the recruits as
first baseman, which gave Grimes a
chance to move over 10 second, where
he belonged.
The first inning was scoreless. but In
the second the Enchillados worked
their first counter into the ledger.
Hunter opened with n single. Kane
then hammered a liner toward Burns.
The wind. which became bothersoane
for the first time to-day. carried the
bali as II it were bit OF paper and
gave Kane three bagger, Hunter scor-
ing Gross helped the Enchillados TO
their second run. lie perpetrated a two
base error on Walkers bounder.
Browns liner to centre sent Walker
to third. whence he scored on Hunters
sacrifice fly.
