TUESDAY MAY 14 1895
THIS IS THE THIRD
The Mrseionanee Play Ball and
Win Another Game.
23 to 9in favor of San Antonio!
The news spread quicker than
tiie results of a presidential elec-
tion.
“How did it happen?” That was
the question heard on every corner
on the street cars at the supper
table or any place in Tamaleville
where mankind assembled.
The two hundred rooters who
witnessed the atTair were kept busy
all morning trying to explain to
their friends how it really did hap-
pen. Some say it is because the
boys have received their salaries
and some say because “Mysterious
Smith” didn’t play.
Leave all guessing go and come
down to facts and we will soon see
that the Missionaries won the
game because they played better
ball than the Pantherville aggre-
gation. At the bat we made twen-
ty-three hits and as many rune
and in the field we made four er-
rors to the visitors’ twelve hits
nine runs and eight errors. The
final score was 23 to 9 in favor of
San Antonio.
DIAMOND DOTS.
Abbott made a home run with
two men on the bases.
Graney made some wonderful
catches of wild throws at first.-
Kling needs improvement in hit-
ting and base running.
Kaymer and Hughes are still in
a crippled condition and unable to
run bases.
The Missionaries went up against
it yesterday ami knocked three of
Fort Worth’s pitchers as silly as a
kitten.
George Dean wants to comeback.
He says he has been paid in full
and that he is satisfied. He went
to Galveston to get married.
Manager Schachen has been re-
leased by Austin and Umpire Bren-
nan is now at the head of the Sen-
ators.
Riva- made two errors in center
field yesterday which cost San An-
tonio two runs.
Yesterday’s games resulted as
follows: At Austin —Dallas 6 Aus-
tin 4; at Houston—Sherman 9
Houston 6; at Galveston—Shreve-
port 15 Galveston i.
Pitcher Maloney has been re-
leased by Houston and signed by
Sherman.
A new pitcher arrived pesterday
and was ordained for work with
the Missionaries. His name is
Bligh and he comes well recom-
mended.
Ex-Manager W. J. Clare has
written from Long Island City N.
Y. that he has buried his father
and wants to come back.
“Buck” Weavor who caught for
the San Antonio team in ’BB is
playing good ball for Milwaukee.
“Red” Ehret his pitcher is doing
good work for St. Louis.
Tomorrow’s schedule is as fol-
lows: Sherman at San Antonio
Shreveport at Austin Fort Worth
at Galveston Dallas at Houston.
“Brownie” Chamberlain set the
crowd wild when he drove one
over right field fence with bases
full. He also made a brilliant
stop of a hard hit liner in the
seventh inning and cleverly threw
a man out at home plate. Cham-
berlain is a corker.
J. LOBERT.
The Tailor next to Commerce street
bridge will make you a nice titling sum-
mer suit for less money than any first-
class house in town. The finest imported

New Foundland Federation.
St. Johns N. F. May 14.—The
Government promises to begin
business in earnest w hen the house
next meets. Estimates of accounts
and the business of the session are
now in preparation. The advo-
cates of confederation are becom-
ing more sanguine. Their organ
has announced that the presenta-
tion of terms will be made on
Thursday next. The opponents of
confederation are disheartened and
they regard Colonial Secy Bonds
departure as signifying that a
satisfactory settlement of the
train of issues is at hand and that
it is merely necessary to arrange
details. Many business men are
importing large stocks of goods
upon which heavy duties will be
levied under confederation so as
to escape the payment of this im-
port.
