Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
DALLAS, Tex, March 25.-Natures oc-
casional perversity hit the Giants right
were at San Antonio. sore from the hard
regimen under a hot sun, they prayed,
unofficially, for bit of rain now and
them, but did not get it. To-day they
marched into Dallas, eager to go at the
White Sox-and along came that much
delayed downpour and forced a cancel
lation of the contest.
However Dallas will not be robbed OF
its chance to see the world champions in
action, as game with the Sox is sched-
uled here to-morrow-and the weather
man promises to be kind.
With the Giants lolling about in en-
forced idleness, Judge Lands to-day
jumped into the lmelight and at a late
hour was going mighty strong. He

the Judge had not decided on a definite
program, but 1t seems likely that the
ceremony will be staged Just before
the game with Chicago.
There is some talk of giving the

Trophies for Giants.
The Judge had the embleIns shipped
from Chicago to Fort Worth. but this
afternoon he sent over to that CITY for
them. The prizes are In the form Of
watch fobs and they have been awaited
with great anxiety by the players who
did not expect to wait until a new sea-
son for their momentos.
Judge Lands spoke to some of the
Giants at the Oriental this afternoon
after he had attended luncheon given
for him by the University Club He
told the boys how proud he was OF
them and added that he was sure that
they would give a good account OF
themselves again this year But Il
was noted that he did not take sides
and wish them another pennant.
The rain proved irksome, not only
to the Giants but to McGraw. who
wanted to send Art Nehf and Jess
Barnes against the White Sox and
attempt TO make the series even before
the clubs moved on to Fort Worth.
The Sox have won three and tied ono
and the Giants have taken only one
that game at the training camp OF the
Sox at Seguin.
Il think we will be in far better
shape from now on to give the White
Sox some real pitching. 1t was their
pitching alone which beat us three times
and gave them that tie" said McGraw
this evening.
II might add that we also could
have had better catching. Snyder and
smith have come along rather slowly
this spring. Snyder at this time last
year was throwing them down to second
like shot. But he Is n little over

Dave Bancroft said the strain which

a week had begun to disappear IT

the game for few days. but de-
cided that II would be better to avoid
