The Giants took a little trip through
Florida before they hoped off for the
north. but did not show much. In fact,
they looked pretty bad with the bat,
but part of the time they were hitting
against good pitching and part of the
time they were playing on slow dla-
mondS. You can't get the Giants to
exert themselves when they fear they
will turn an ankle or pull a tendon.
If they are doddering by the time
they reach Chicago there doubtless
will be some changes. But it does
not seem likely that this will be nee

terial in the club, and when they
really get under way they should
show more than they have in the

FROM OUSTING CARDS

ST LOUIS April IA temporary
injunction preventing the st. Louis
Browns from evicting the Cardinals
from Sportsman's Park under an al
legged forfeiture of lease has been re-
turned by Circuit Judge Frey. The
suit followed a default in payment of
quarterly rent to the Brown manage
ment. which the Cardinal management
declared occurred through an over
sight.
The Cardinals have been using the
base ball park under a lease expiring
in 1880. and stated that loss of the
grounds would mean disaster to them
financially.
Evidence at the hearings showed
that the Browns planned extensive
improvements on the grounds and
asked increased rental, to which the
Cardinals objected.
