Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD
SAN ANTONIO, March 6.-On this
very day. back in 1886. the Alamo fell
This afternoon the San Antonio Club
celebrated the occasion by giving q
splendid imitation of the Texas strong
hold. 1t fell like half dozen tons Of
brick before the onslaughts of the
Giants. who collected sixteen hits and
won by score of Is to 8. 1t wasn't
much Of contest, but the 5000 or more
onookers. many Of them New York
soldiers from neighboring camps, ap-
peared to enjoy the game as If it were
q crucial test In the National League
pennant race.
From the standpoint OF the develop
nlent OF the Giants the most interesting
feature was the shift OF Frank Frisch
to second base. The Fordham fash
played the position as IL to manner born
and also came through with perfect
batting average. In three trips to the
plate he got double, single and a
sacrifice fly. Ray Grimes relieved him
in the fourth inning.
Ewel Gross, the former San Antonian,
again was at shortstop John McGraw
paid consid cradle attention to the third
base situation. He used Howard Burkett
most OF the way and induced San "A
tonic to use Jack Monroe so that he
could give that young man an after
noon of surveillance. Burkett was
forced out of the game when he was
hit by batted ball in the seventh and
Lee King took his place.
Benny Kauff, who arrived here early
this morning with Larry Doyle and Mike
Gonzales, was out in uniform ready to
go into centre field. Vernon Spencer
also was on deck and anxious for duty.
but Bob McGraw and Ed Brown, the
big fellow who was with the local
team last season, were out in the middle
patrol all through the game. Brown
evidently is going to get very thorough
trial. He rammed out a couple of singles,
giving him five hits in two days He
looks decidedly good.
Three Pitchers for Giants.
McGraw worked three pitchers in
three inning relays Jess Winters went
the first three of the contest and was
found for three hits. Phil Douglas gave
only two safeties in his portion of the
assignment, while Claude Davenport,
one Of the many San Antonio graduates
among the Giants, was hit for four
biagles in his three rounds. Davenport
is n brother OF Dave of the Browns, and
is about as long as a listless double
header.

This trio was named Zimmatore, Koch

was by far the most useful of the
three--for the Giants. Zimm hung
around for three innings. and was
slammed for nine hits and eleven runs
The lustiest blow of the game was de-
lvered III the first inning by Curtis
Walker. the young outfielder from Au-

like real bali player and takes cruel
