TODAY S GAMES.
Houston at San Antonio.
Galveston at Austin.
Fort Worth at Paris.
Dallas at Waco.
There are two men with Captain
Jack Huston’s Crustaceans that will
have a big slice of participation in all
the games played won and lost by the
Galveston team between now and Au-
gust 22. It is needless to say that ref-
erence is made to Messrs. Roach and
Sparks who belong to Captain Hus-
tons efficient staff of twlrlers. Both
have been given a thorough test and
have proved that they possess the es-
sentials qualities of winning pitchers.
And with such a team of hustlers be-
hind them the team that beats Gal-
veston is playing ball.
Oh well the Bronchos always play
ball —win or lose —and if you will ob-
serve closely you will see that some-
times winners lose and losers win.
Even Old Yewst’n can win a game
once in a while.
This is wrong—now that Yewst’n is
here today. But what are we going
to do about it? The umpire can’t rob
Charlie Shaffer’s Innocents every day.
Oh yes the schedule. There’s where
Yewst’n gets the tamale peel again.
And the Yewst’n newspapers will be
surprised if the Innocents win a game?
Yes and everybody else will.
Tommie Hess catcher of the Galves-
ton baseball team did not accompany
the team to Austin this morning. He
was fined $5O by Captain Huston last
night for failure in playing in last
Monday’s game in this city. The little
catcher considered the fine too steep'
which it is and therefore did not go
with the team. He may be suspended
but his friends hope the matter will be
compromised and that Tommie will be
with the Sand Crabs.
The report that Waco has dropped
out of the league is' untrue although
a telegram to that effect was received
here yesterday.
HURRAH FOR THE BELKNAPS.
The Light's special from the drill
grounds says: “The Belknaps “fell
in” in fine style this morning with
new gnus new uniforms new shoes
etc. and passed a perfect inspection.
This will score a big point in their fa-
vor now if they only put up their old
time drill they are dead sure win-
ners.

ted suicide this morning by taking
