Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HEiALp.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas. March IT,
Cattlemen, IN convention here, who had
never before seen n major league base
ball team, soldiers from the various en-
campments in this section. just plain
citizens and local female social lights,
whose baseball attendance for the year
probably will be confined to this one con-
test, all jammAd League Park this al
ternoon to see the Giants have II OUT
with the San Antonios for sweet Char-
ity. II was not one OF those games you
usually see for charity. and let US say
that the spirit OF charity was absent on
both sides OF the argument. The Giants
won. 10 q but they got quite scare.
The hard and timely hitting OF Eu
Brown saved them.

Well. it was mighty good that the 10
Gals got chance ~ do their wnooplng
while tho whooping was good, TOT they
did not keep their tie long In the sixth
the New Yorks gained a run, and In the
seventh they laid It on thick with two
more counters. The victory made II
five out OF five for the Giants which IS
about as well as might be expected OK
any team.
To return to those very important
and picturesque home runs by Brown
and Shea In the second. One OF these
circuit smashes was an event whicn
ought to be written into baseball his
tory in indelibie Ink. 1t is considered
quite happening when pitcher makes
single. but here's Shea with a nome
run. No fiuke homer mind you. He
cleared the left field fence by a couple
Of feet-and that barrier here is about
as far as the left field bleacher fence
is at the Polo Grounds. This man Shea
has future.
Kelly started the rally which gave
the Giants their big lead He spanked
a single to centre. Xerxes Iimmatore
had been pitching fairly good call for
the locals. but that smack OF kelly's
seemed to unnerve him. He must have
felt one OF those Texas northers coming
and his expectations were realized.
Circuit Ciout by Brown.
Brown, after getting big hand from
his former buddies at Kelly Field, let
one go by and then TOOK fun swing
at the second pitch. Everybody knew
where that ball was going just as soon
as the ring of the claymore had started
to resound through the stand. The pill
travelled over the left field fence with
the speed OF a dollar in pullman
diner and with the grace or bird. Two
runs were rung for The Giants.
But more trouble was brewing for
xerxes Zimmatore OF I,catecas i1fs
control shimmied like a Tennessee bog
trotter and Rapp walked. There was
q lull and a sigh OF relief from Xerxes
as Smith hit into double play. with
Shea coming everything was Jake" az
they say down this way. But Zimmatore
had not heard of Soviet Uprising among
the New York pitchers Douglas hit
three safeties yesterday, so Shea knew
he had a chance. He leaned on the first
pitch and away It went.
Shea was not so steady IN the box
and II was Off him that the Bears got
their three runs and a tie. A triple
by Henry in the fourth wac the principal
blow In the rally.
The Giants got the run they needed
to win In the sixth when Brown singled
to left. stole. went to third on Rapp's
fly to left and Tailed on Smiths one
timer to the same territory. Two more
New York runs came over in tho seventh.
Frisch walked stos and scored on
KeIly's single. Booe's bungling sent
Kelly to second, whence he scored on
Browne single 10 right. Brown was
the usual citizen to-day and made him.
self all the more solid with McGraw,
who already had indicated liking for
the big fellow. The score:
