THE REPORTER IMPOSED ON.
The Light reporter was imposed upon
yesterday by some busy-body in saying
there were some Little disturbances at
the picnic on the Medina Sunday. Mr.
Pat O’Hara and Manager McClosky
assure us this report was a mistake as
Xhere was they say not the slightest
disturbance or ill-feeling of any kind
happened on the grounds or train
during the entire day.
The Light appreciates the favors of
Its friends in helping the reporters in
giving the news but it’s not pleasant
to receive news items that depart from
the truth or given in a spirit of jeal-
ousy to arouse ill-feeling. Moral:“Al-
ways tell the truth to reporters.”

DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.
Marked Falling Off In the Xumhcrof
Arrival* from Other Countries.
The returns received by the immi-
gration bureau during the last several
months show a marked falling off in
the number of immigrant arrivals in
this country. The number of arrivals
during the nine mouths ended March
31 1897 was 142941 as compared with
2Q9.630 for the same period in the fiscal
year 1896. This is a decrease of 66.689.
During April the decrease at New York
alone was 11439 and during the first
11 days in the present mouth the fall-
ing off at New York was 10800. Com-
missioner-General Stump estimates
that the decrease for the entire country
during the fiscal year ending June 30
next will not be less than 93000 of
which New York probably will show
70.000.
Boston Story of Coarse.
A little girl about four or five years

heels flew up and she fell with great
force upon the stones. A lady who was
passing saw the accident nnd ran to the
child's assistance. She picked her up
brushed the snow from her clothes and
asked kindly: “You poor little mite
how did you fall?" The tiny child
looked up into her kind friend’s face
and with the tears streaming down her
cheeks sobbed: “Vertically ma’am.”

But for Mat Stanley’s sky-scraper
Mike O’Ccmnor and his men would
have worked over time yesterday af-
ternoon. The situation looked awful
squally for a while and the Houston
players became so Inspired with hopes
that they got real sassy. Dickie Knox
and Bob Pender got on the lines and
the only person that they had any de-
sire of consulting was George Gilpat-
rick who performed on the slab on
that particular occasion. Well George
was too busy to talk and not in a
mood to have anybody talking to him.
Mr. Brennan asked Messrs Knox and
Pender to confine their remarks to the
Houston players who were at the
time on the bases but thev would nit.
Then he made them be good and or-
dered them to their seats. The game
was then allowed to proceed peaceful-
ly. In the way of Mr. Brennan’s rul-
ing it is an old established rule that
coachers should address no one but
the baserunners while Pender and
Knox persistently addressed their re-
marks to no one but Gilpatrlck.
As for the game the Bronchos had it
THE SILVER BRICK BUNCO GAME.
Uncle Sam prefers to buy what silver he needs in the world’s markets and
at the prices which are paid for it by other nations. He is held up on his way
to market by the silver mine and silver bullion owner who insists that
Uncle Sam shall agree to buy and sell silver at twice its actual value. He
tells Uncle Sam that in 1873 he committed a great crime against silver and
for that reason Is responsible for the fall in price from $1.29 to 62 cents per
ounce. He flatters Uncle Sam by telling him that he is great enough and
wealthy enough to double the price of silver the world over if he will begin to
coin it in unlimited'quantities and treat it in every way as if it were worth
its old price. Will Uncle Sam be taken in by this bunko
won from the start. With the score
8 to 1 in our balance in the fifth in-
ning Sham Myers with two out and
two Buffaloes on the bases lifted one
over the fence putting the score 8-4.
The squall came in the seventh inning
when with the bases full Reed hit to
Knau at short. Looie picked it up
nicely. Instead of tossing the ball to
Weber at second for a double he tried
to make the play himself and threw
wild to O’Connor on first. Mike picked
up the ball and threw to Stanley at the
plate and when the dust had cleared
the visitors had three more runs to
their credit. The score was a tie. We
were shut out in the seventh and
eighth and it was in the last inning
with two out that when Matt Stanley
got his home run drive. Houston fail-
ed to score again and we won.
DIAMOND DOTS.
We are now back in first place.
Fort Worth at Paris Dallas at Deni-
son Houston at Austin. Galveston at
San Antonio is the schedule for June
12 3.
Bob Pender has never played on a
San Antonio team neither has Hantel
played with McCloskey’s San Antonio
team in 1888.
O’CoAnor is after another pitcher or
third baseman. In the latter event
Clark will go to second and Weber will
be one of the regular pitchers.
. Messrs. O’Connor A Weber will un-
doubtedly make a bid for San Antonio’s
franchise next season if business con-
tinues as at present and they ougbt
to have it.
For a scrappy ball player. Win Clark
has few equals In this league. He is
also considered one of the finest fleld-
ing third basemen that ever came
down this way.
Charley Bailey Is suffering from a
lame leg which interferes with the
work of this valuable player.
Messrs. O’Connor & Weber propose
to live up to their contract and con-
duct the affairs of the club in a busi-
nesslike manner. They will recognize
all tickets issued by the association.
The reports to the number of tickets
out are utterly false. Mr. George C.
Elchlltz to whose untiring efforts it
is largely due that San Antonio has a
baseball teem this season has the
books of the club in his possession
posted up to date. With vouchers to
answer for every cent exnended and
says that they are open to anyone who
cares to examine them.
