BEAUMONT Teiaa. July 8. The Battatosa
had bo sUfflealty la beating the Oilers today.
rIt wss a cleaa win In a clean gam. and o-
psrlor klttlBS tells the story. Tbe visitors
tspped Larsen plentifully and bard while Fes-
ter was in excellent form and never spproaek-
sd s danger point. He sestisrsd tee few bits
be yielded so far -apart that one waa forgot-
ten before another came.
Got Rurtnsr to Third.
In the third Inning the locals piled op a
total of two nits and Mickey O'Brien got ss
far ss third nut It took a aserlfuss to get
fain there and the other two oats eamebe-
fore he was given so opening to score. Froas
tbe fourth to the ninth Innings Inclusive only
twenty men fseed Foster srhtch mesne that bet
two reached first one en a base on bells and
the other on a single.
The gsme was practically feature less. Hons-
tou's steady hitting and Besoro out's splendid
defensive work wss measured esealy throegh-
oat the game. The single fielding future was
Kdmlston s circus cstcn of Lsndreth's liner
and his unassisted doable resulting from by
his quickly touching second base before White-
man could get back.
Ths Houston Runs
Flllman led sway with a single In the first
and Brittoo sacrificed him to second. With a
long lead on s hit and ran sums). Flllman
scored from second on Da via' single and Davis
wsnt to second on ths throw in. end Imme-
diately scored on Newnam's double. .Newnam
waa caught by O'Brien while playing off third
and Whltemsn struck out.
In the fifth. Knsnpp fanned and Reynolds
singled snd stole second. Footer singled snd
FUlm.n walked filling the bases. Brittoo hit
a stinging grounder to Kdasiatoo and It knocked
him dov-n out be stopped it end threw Fos-
ter oat st third. ReynoMs srortag. Davis
retired the aide 00 s grounder to Larsen.
Aside from those two Innings both teems played
gUt tdge ball.
Ths Only Error.
The only error was chalked against O'Brien
for tossing ths ball Into the diamond snd sl-
lowlng Newnam to ndvsnee from second to
third. It looked ss If the ball slipped out of
his hand aa he started to throw it to Larsen.
