The third and concluding game of the
first State league series of base ball be-
tween the Dallas and Galveston clubs
was played yesterday before the largest
audience of the season. The people of !
Dallas turned out sufficiently strong to
show the gentlemen who have endeav-
ored to build up the National |
sport here, that, although beset with |
defeat at the outset on the diamond field |
their efforts are fully appreciated and |
that they will give them the necessary |
encouragement to secure for Dallas the |
best club in the State and retain for |
another season the proud title of state !
champions. The game yesterday was
more stubbornlY contested than any
thus far played, and although Galveston
won by score of 10 to IL, the seaside
sluggGrs had no margin to spare to save
what at the first half of the game
seemed certain defeat. 1t was pro-emi-
nently u smuggling match, and hard hit
ting was the most notable feature of the
contest. Dallas evidently has the best
batting nine, but Galveston is the
strongest in the field. The home team,
with one or two additions, Will be supe-
rior to any in the South, and the friends
of the club are determined
to give it the proper strength
/
have won host of friends while here,
and their gentlemanly department en-
titles them to the good regard OF Dallas.
They leave this morning for home via
! the Santa lFe route, taking with them
the warm regards of the Brown Stock
ings, who "will see them later" The
Nationals, of Houston, are the next
league team to visit Dallas,
the series being scheduled for
next Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, without the management
if the two clubs see proper To change the
dates to Friday, Sunday and Monday, as
three games in succession appear u be
very severe on the clubs, inasmuch as
there is plenty of time in which to ill
out the schedule. The Nationals yes
terday defeated the Fort Worth nine by
score of twelve to six. The Brown
Stockings expect an easier russell Will
them than they have just experienced
. with their Galveston friends.
The game near its close was inter
4 rupted by two parties claiming the
names of lIenshaw, of Omaha, and vii
! son, late of Waco, who had gotten up
y foot-race, entirely independent of In
= base ball game, but owing to their mud
u condition, Mr.. McNealus, the Manage
!, of the Brown Stockings, prohiblte
. their running. Respectable ladies, VIII
). were present, left the ground
y when they made their disgrace
u full appearance, and the fee
! ings OF the majority and decen
10 element of the crowd was so strong this
10 City Marshal Beeman, of East Dalla
:; on complaint made, arrested and place
il them under bond for their appearance
to-day before Justice Kendall. Thel
were few who abetted these men run
ming attired as they We're, with nothil
y on but narrow piece of cloth used as
% clout. The management of the base ba
- will not tolerate any such practices
r the grounds, as it proposes to run ever
is thing in way that the Ladies', whose Q
nd tendance is courted, cannot take Il
-, least oilense.
