by 7 TO 6.
BY DANIEL.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD
GALVESTON, Tex, March 24.-our
Giants went into the bushes this after
noon and got ticks in their arms and
Spanish moss In their eyes. They de-
feated the Galveston club Of the Texas
League, but II was not until the ninth
inning that they were able 70 turn the
more OF less trick, and then only by
margin OF one run. The score was
TO 6.
II was Just one OF those days for the
New YorNs. They seemed TO be bit
stale and could put through only 9 few
things which they started. They had
optical spring fever and manual lassi-
tude. But at that they would have
walked in with a much greater advan-
tage If it had not been that John Nc
Graw sought certain information.
MeGraw wanted 10 learn If Pat Shea
still suffered from sore arm. Let, US
say that Mac obtained the desired infor-
nation with vehemence, and that little
service very nearly resulted in the
Giants getting it between the ears and
the shoulders.
Bill Ryan worked the first five innings
and did pretty well, holding the Calves
tons to three hits and one run. Then
came Shea, in the sixth, and Patrick
failed TO last out the inning. But before
he left the scene the locals rolled up six
healthy hits and FIVE runs and took what
looked like q winning lead, for. as We
said, the Giants were not going so well
Information Obtained.
Ia this manner was it determined that
Shea is not yet ready for duty. The in
formation was communicated to McGraw
tonight by Hughey Jennings at Hous-
ton, as Mac sent his lieutenant on with
the Giants.
It was a three run rally in the ninth
which put the Giants In front, but Just
how much credit they deserve for this
aggregation OF runs is decidedly prob
lenatical. The Galvestons really beat
themselves, for McGraw, their pitcher,
passed the first three Giants who faced
him, and practically presented the game
to the New Yorks.
Bancroft, Monroe and Young were
the men who walked. Kelly, who had
not been able to hit safely in four pre-
vlous efforts. slammed a single to left
and sent Banny and Monroe home with
the tailies which tied the score. Brown
sacrificed Young to third and Kelly to
second, and the scene was set for the
dow 1OF victory Ildpp uellNGTtu AlllS
sending a long sacrifice fly to centre
scoring Young.
Oln Voigt. who had taken Shea's
place in the sixth. was found for hit
in the Galveston end OF the ninth, but
the Giants were on their toes at that
time and held their advantage.
II there was a Giant hero, the lau-
rels belong TO Johnny Monroe, who is
filing Frisch's shoes with great credit.
Monroe put the New Yorks in front in
the first with a home run TO centre.
Later he got a single and a couple OF
passes.
Shea Greeted Warmly.
Shea faced seven men in the sixth
and yielded five hits in addition TO
hitting one man with pitched ball.
King was retired TO open the round,
but Koran started things with a triple
to right. Singles by Schlebner and
ELAN followed, and then Grubb
doubled. Lapam was hit in the head
with a high fast one, and McGrew, six
feet and six inches OF right hand
pitcher also got a single. By that
time five runs were III, and Jennings
decided that NIcGraw had got his In
formation. Voigt went TO the mound
and was hit for a base BY Biddle, but
Distel jammed into a double play and
ended the damage. The score:
