McGraw was accom- panied from Cuba by Lar Doyle. The Giants and the San Antonio club of the Texas league will play ex- hibition games here Saturday and Sunda Stories of cold weather in Florida make the Giants chuckle. However, there is no telling when the chuckling may be reversed. One of these Texas northers does the trick in an hour. Rube Benton reports a bigger crop of bunions than ever before. Benton's { bunions make men wander why ath- letes whose legs and feet are of such great use to them will wear asinine shoes. Some of the natives here keep close tabs on the National league. A fan yesterday morning inquired for Mike Danlin. The Giants miss the sociability of the folks at Marlin and Gainesville, as San Antonio is too big a city to both- er much with even a major league ball club. WGOORTY IS K. 0°D Frank Goddard Sends American Light Heavyweight to the Mat in 13th— Loscr Is Badly Punished. London, March 5—Eddie McGoorty, American light heavyweight, was de- | feated last night in the thirteenth round of a bout held in the Holborn stadium by Frank Goddard, an Eng- lish heavyweight boxer. McGoorty was so badly punished that the referee stopped the fight. Goddard, who once knocked out Beckett and gained the heavyweight championship of England, was in turn defeated by Beckett. Goddard now is engaged in a campaign to re- gain the title, and his victory over McGoorty should help him to obtain another match with Beckett. The present title holder also won from McGoorty, although it took Beckett seventeen rounds in which to subdue the American. CHECKS ON WAY !
