SUNDAY'S RESULTS
Wiggins Company o, Orioles X
Infantry 3, Roundups 1.
At last the Winter Baseball league is
awiay on Its second series, and me fans
who attended tlie double-header at 'texas
Lrague Park Sunday afternoon got a run
tor their money. Two close, c-xcltlng
gomes were played, each seven Innings
long, and either was anyone's gome to
the wire.
Tbe start of the first game was de-
layed while some dirt, which had been
placed On the diamond to repair It, was
removed. Because of this deiay it was
• gieed to play two seven-Inning games.
Altogether, the two games probably
were the best pair played in the league
race to date. Each was 1n the nature of
a seesaw, and the scores were close
sr.otigh for a major league combat.
Despite the fact that the chilly morn-
ing had led many fans to fear that there
would be no games, the atternoon wa.>
nearly ideal for the sport. The players
appeared to have benefited rather than
suffered harm from their long rest ol
several weeks, and there was a. world ot
»nap in the play.
FIRST GAME.
The Orioles got away with a two-run
I&aa In the first inning ot the opening
(iT-me, but the lligglns Company team
stuck to the job, tying It up in the
fourth. The Orioles again went, alifead by
one run in the fifth, but Htggins Com-
pany scored three in the seventh una
took home the game. The batting of R
Chambers was the featuie. He got a
heme run and a three-bager tor uie win-
tiers. The Orioles had the better of the
hitting and fielding also, but the winners
got there because they hit at need and
the other side wobbled in touchy places.
The hitting was light, on each sule, and
tlw duel between Crevenstlne and Tracey
was a.n interesting one in the pitching
department. These two pitchers are tic?
ol-et, that figured in the trade some time
sgt, and each was out to show that the
opposing club had made a bad bargain,
j.i was about a draw.
There were nine stolen bases In the
game, the Orioles getting four and llig-
glns Company five. Jack Burke, who
was loaned to the Hlgglns Company for
the game because of the absence of a
regular, scored two of these for the team
and got the only hit Chambers tailed tJ
annex. A. Knaupp stole twee bases,
wl.lch were of material assistance In
■scoring runs for that side.
The batters went down pretty regularly
by the strikeout route, Tracey downing
tv.elve and Crevenstlne nine. Although
the latter started like he would be wild
he, steadied down and seemed to have as
mi ch as his adversary. Score:
As the result of the meeliug of captains
Sunday moroiug, the Turner Ninepio
League teams' rosters are practically all
filed, there now being but two vacancies
It was decided to start the second series
Tuesday, January 23.
The delay in starting was decided to al-
low the filling of tbe two remaining va-
cancies on the teams. That a number of
bowlers will sign this week is assured,
and the first who come will get the jobs
now open
The schedule will be drafted shortly, and
It probably will follow very closely to tue
lilies of the first series' schedule.
One change In the captaincy of teams was
n ade. Pred Wagenfehr being moved up
from first man to the leadership of the
team formerly captained by Charles Mng
because of the departure of the latter.
All the captains expressed themselves as
feeling confident that the second series nil'
be far more interesting than the first, which
was close, but marred by the failure of
the bowlers to turn out in proper force
for the games.
IU
MEETING WILL BE HELD TO-
NIGHT—MAY RACE TUES-
DAY AFTERNOON.
For the purpose of reaching an official
decision as to the proposed holding of a
luatinee harness pr-jgrauime Tuesday, a
meeting of the San Antonio Driving Club
has beeu called for toulght in the Southern
Hotel at 8 o'clock.
When the matinee was postponed from
Friday last because of the had weather,
it was believed that it could not be held
for a couple of weeks. However, a bunch
of horsemen got together yesterday and
figured out tbo plan of holding it Tues-
day. Ag there is a difference of opinion iu
the racing committee in this regard, it has
been thought better to hold a meeting of
the club to ascertain what the horsemen
as a body think of th^ matter. To this
end Secreary Ralph Green lias mailed noti-
fications to all members to attend the
meeting.
With promise nf1 good weather for a
few days at least It, i.> generally believed
tbe matinee will be held Tuesday, rather
than risk a delay that may result in an-
other postponement. President O. J. Wood-
hull of the club will be out of the city
after Tuesday, and It lb desired that he
be present. This is a further incentive to
holding the card as soon as possible.
The programme probably will go as orig-
inally slated, but there may be a few
changes, and one or two additional entries
at. the meeting tonight. All horsemen are
urgently requested to attend the gatherlug.

SECOND QAMK.
After the Roundups had led In the. scor-

ning of the second game, the twenty-
second Infantry came back, took two in
the second frame and held the lead to the
Jose.
If the hitting had been light In the
fiist game. It came near being nothing at
all in the second. The Infantry got two
wallops off Galm. one of thein a home
run by Swartz to the clubhouse. The
Roundups could get Into Oppett but once.
lippett retired after the first inning
with a bad finger, and Curran took his
place, being used by agreement beeau.-e
of the lack ol another Army pitcher.
This Higins twlrler allowed not a hit In
the six innings ne worked. It was his
first appearance In that role In tne v» in-
ter League series, captain Burke got the
only safety acquired by the Roundups in
this game.
The Infantry played errorless baseball,

ANNOUNCEMENT
EXTRAORDINARY
We Are Building a New Warehouse and
Closing Out Contents of Present Ware-
house at Low Prices
'We don't believe in so-called "Special Sales" as ordinarily practiced.
We don't resort to special sales unless we confront an emergency. We're
at a juncture now that logically and justifiably calls for a real special sale.
To accommodate our distributive business, which covers a large territory, we have leased
ground on the 1. & G. N. tracks and are building a warehouse adequate to our needs.
Our present warehouse on the S. P. tracks is filled with merchandise which we must either
move twenty-five city blocks at large expense in time, labor and money, or sell promptly
at a sacrifice.
Selling at a sacrifice places the benefit with our customers, where it properly belongs.
Accordingly we have cleared a space on our BASEMENT SALES FLOOR, and till
further notice will display at very low prices all goods, as we reach them, that we desire to
close out* Here follows a partial list of the goods in the sale:
DINING-ROOM
Sideboards,
Buffets,
China Closets,
Serving Tables,
Extension Tables,
Chairs,
Linoleum,
9x12 Rugs.
BEDROOM
Wash Stands,
Bra ss Beds,
Iron Beds,
Wood Beds,
Mantel Beds,
Tables,
Chairs,
Rockers.
LIVING-ROOM
Settees,
Rockers,
Chairs,
Desks,
Couches,
'Reed Furniture,
Tables,
Fibre Rugs.
This warehouse stock shown on Basement Sales Floor is the low priced end of our
line, and the prices are radically reduced.
This sale will not interfere with the conduct of our regular business on all other
SALES FLOORS.

ments, second In choice with tho visitors
only to the poultry department, which
is one of the really big exhibits at the
fair.
The gun club tournament wa.s contin-
ued on Friday and attracted many en-
thusiasts. and some remarkable trap-
shooting was seen as a reward for brav-
ing the wintry atmosphere.
The high, gusty wind made the clay
pigeons describe atrange and unexpected
