IN SPITE OF CRIMPY WINDS
Ataoe \Dovkox&s

♦
Tee late in the season now to pay
any attention to this little crimpy flur-
ry. Both Tigers? and Bronchos were
out at the park bright and early this
morning the latter reporting in uni-
form at. 9:15 and the former an hour
later.
While the norther is not just the
. best thing that could have happened
। in the wwther line still the sun is
bright and the men were not long in
warming up. However the little crim-
py is expected to blow over by
tomorrow and from then on every-
thing will be lovely.
Jennings Welcomes Fans.
A fair-sized week-day crowd was out
yesterday afternoon to see the pre-
i limtnary work-out of the big fellows
j Jennings' wljo has shown the good
fellow in everything he has done since
arriving in San Antonio has ordered
the park gates thrown open to the
fans and invites them to come out at
every practice and see him send his
great hall machine down for their ex-
ercise gallops.
The breeze out yesterday afternoon
was 0- stiff one. Scarcely a one of
the Tigers had felt a baseball and it
was mighty good to them. Jennings
hit the infield himself and the man-
ner in which he smashed them down
to his men showed that he meant bus-
iness. The preliminary gallop lasted
for fully an hour and a half and dur-
ing that time three balls were in play.
There were three “fast rounds” the
Tiger infield begging the manager for
more every tme he announced that
this was positively the last one.
Stars Get Applause.
Th sensation of the day to the fans
in the stands was the working of Short
stop Bush and Second Baseman Schae-
fer around the middle station. The
grounds were just a bit soft the ball

Cap was happy again this morning.
As a result he smiled at everybody and
forgot to slay his usual number of
polar bears during the forenoon
the first person Cap saw when he got
up was Mclver who’s come to help out
the Broncho outfield this season. The
husky youngster looks fine as a fiddle
and will loom up in the garden like
a brick block house on a Kansas prai-
rie.
Mac was in Dallas Sunday and saw
the Dallas Giants put a crimp in Me-
Alger’s regulars. He says the north
Texas Giants won on their merits and
with less practice than the Browns
had The new Broncho was enthusias-
tic over Artie Griggs who played third
base for the Browns In the Sunday
game.
“Griggs” said Mclver "was the
only man on the St. Louis team who
wasn't one of the fixtures but he
showed up to a better advantage than
anv of the others. He showed plenty
of ginger made a corking two-bagger
stole the only base pilfered and in
short looked) like a fixture on the
regular team. McAleer in fact has
already made the statement that the
onlv thing that can keep Griggs from
making good will be the breaking of
both legs.’’
Mclver was anxious to get to worn
and says San Antonio will get the best
he's got. _
GAME LAWS TAKEN
UP IN LEGISLATURE
k —
\ Local sportsmen are interested just
now in watching the progress of the
Hudspeth game law which yesterday
passed the house and was up for con-
sideration in the senate being finally
laid on the table in the upper body
subject to call.
The house bill as passed imposes
a tax on hunters outside of their own
counties an amendment being adopted
making the tax effective only on
visitors The dove season runs from
August 15 to March 1. The open sea-
son on quail extends in the southern
portion of the state from November 1
to February 1 and in the northern
portion from December 1 to March 1.
. The senate bill had several amend-
ments offered which will make it prac-
tically the same as that now existing
with the exception that the dove sea-
son is extended.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar to it-
self in merit and curative power. Take
only Hood's.

‘ After the Tigers had finally been in-

j duly photographed a number of times.
the Bronchos went on for their first
। stunt as a team. Most of the young-
sters were pretty sore from previous
. working and little line could be drawn
on them. However Walsh at second
' base made an instantaneous hit. He
has been playing all season with the
Pasadena club in California and is in

>IMMNTS
TO FIGHT JEFF
> Arrives in Canada on His Way
to Texas to See
Folks.
Victoria B. C. March 10.—An in-
I tcresting feature of the arrival of
Jack Johnson the negro heavyweight
champion of the world here yesterday
was the white woman whom he took
up with in Australia.
1 Fitzpatrick Johison’s manager It
1 seems has already had a split with
1 the big black on her account saying
last night in answer to a query that
he could do nothing with the fighter
since he had taken ttp with her. "She’s
practically his manager now” said
Fitzpatrick.
Johnson says he is ready to fight
Jeff any time the retired champion
• gets ready to re-enter the ring. ”1 am
willing to take on not only Jeffries
but any other man in the world. Of
course I want a big purse but I am
not particular as to who I fight. It
might as well be Jeff if he shows a
willingness to try and regain the
championship. In fact if I can get
good enough offer I might cancel my
engagements across the water and
fight in this country.”
The black champion says he is go-
ing home to Galvetson at once. He
was pleased on being told of the prep-
arations of his home town to receive
him. No expression as to what he
would do with his new manager whil-3
in the southern states was forthcom-
ing but jt is not thought he will take
her with him.
The possibilities in such a situation
are rather amusing. Thai the people
of Texas would be pretty apt to raise
a rumpus if he attempted such a thing
is a foregone conclusion. It is doubt-
ful at that whether he will be given
such a warm reception anywhere in the
United Stales under the circum-
stances and the law might even take
a hand if he takes any chances on the
southern people.
BRONCHOS WILL WEAR
BRAND NEW UNIFORMS
Pointing to a big dry goods box
nailed up as tight as a nibe's pocket
at a county fair Cap Leidy yesterday
said:
"This bundle contains something
that I sure am proud of. It's a sur-
prise for the San Antonio fans that
will make them sit up and take notice.
No. I’m not telling anybody what it is
but you can say they're (he finest
baseball uniforms ever unhooked on
a Texas diamond.
“We'll not untie the bundle until
the league opens but when we do—-
well. San Antonio fans will certainly
be proud of the Bronchos when they
see them dressed up in their new uni-
forms.”
On top of the box were reposing
about 25 brand new sticks which will
be expected to do some clouting in the
Brones' race for the 1909 pennant.
C. H. Dean will take your horse in
a trade for a first-class buggy phaeton
carriage or wagon.

INTERESTING LOCAL
SPORTING NOTES
In a game replete with errors the
Company M baseball team yesterday
defeated the West Texas nine by a
score of 7 to 6. The game was an
exciting one the score seesawing
back and forth in a merry manner.
It was a tie when the teams went to
bat in the last block but the army
men put one over and won out.
In a particularly fast game of polo
played yesterday afternoon on the
lower post parade ground the Bache-
lors defeated the Benedicts by a score
of 4 to 1. In spite of the comfortable
margin shown by these figures the
losers made their opponents get up
and hustle' throughout and the large
crowd present enjoyed the contest
immensely.
By the decisive score of 19 to 4 the
Y. M. C. A. intermediate reserve team
yesterday afternoon won from the
Turner reserves former's court
In the Boys' Church league series
yesterday afternoon the Government
Hill team defeated the St. Mark's
quint by a score of 13 to 7.
Plenty doing these days on the
school campuses in San Antonio. Ev
ery afternoon the squads of hold-overs
and the recruits for a place on
the team are out chasing the festive
pellet about In a wild attempt to make
the coach think they've got something
and the announcement of garnet
grows apace. Some of these scheduled
for near dates are: Opening of In
terscholastic league Saturday it
which High School will meet Peacock:
San Antonio Academy will play thr
Alamo Heights team Thursday ant
St. Anthony Saturday; West Texa
will hook with St. Ixrnis Thursda.

season is centered this week in the
game Friday afternoon between Thom
as aind High in the Girls' league this
contest being the decisive one. Higl
has been working very hard in preps
ration for this game and confident)'
expects to win it. The Thomas girl-

certainty the teams will fight even
inch of the way.
