POLO GROUNDS, New York, April 13. —Terscy City's baseball team looked like @ lot of mosquitoes this afternoon. Tne @iants looked like dragon files. ‘Theat ‘wes due to that 8-to-0 trouncing the Jer- @eymen received on Saturday. But it @oesn't take long for a mosquito to swell up. If they got anything that looked Mke a run teday, they were sure to ‘swell up. It was bad weather for mosquitoes. A cold breeze blew from some frigid region, It was enough to stiffen up |ny one’s muscles. Good\hard prac- tice wasn’t to be expected, but the Giants are an attraction just now and mearly 1,000 fans made the trip to Har- lem to see McGraw's boys work. Thero wasn't that snap in the pr- Mminary practice to-day that has marked other games. The Glants and “gkeeters” contented themselves with Jobbing the ball here and there when- ‘ver the occasion demand: GriMn, who plays third base for the Jersey team, seems to be the only lve one of the two teams. He jumped around ‘Uke @ grasshopper’on a mild summer day. He has Uved in Jersey long. That probably accounts for his activity. Johnny McGraw was of course jubilant te think of what an easy time his team would have to-day. The mosquito idea Struck him. He said the Jerseymen were fust as easy for his boys as are the mosquitoes to kill when they have got @ good hold. Thursday is the day to which McGraw fs looking forward. There wasn't a man Of his coterie who didn't get out in practise, He and Babb played at short to warm up and Johnny Dunn and Gil- bert did nts around second base. There were a few new rooters—new for this year—and they thought that might be a new rule to have six infielders. But such {s not the case, and when Play started McGraw was content to get on the coaching lines and exercise his vocal cords with a "What's the matter with you over there?” or some other mild ocall-down to a player when he wasn't quite doing his duty. ‘There was no more interested spec tor of the game to-day than Ge Davis. He sat in the grand stand. George takes his Uttle grip to the Polo Grounds every morning, and at 10 @'’clock, with the Glants, does real hard stunts to keep in shape. He knows as much about his case now as anybody else, and that is nothing. It's in the bends of his counsel, Johnnie Ward. The latter has a talk with John T.
