DALLAS vs.. HOUSTON.
The National Base Ball club, of Hous-
ton, will arrive here from Fort Worth at
: 30 a. m. o.day, and on tomorrow will
play their first league game with the
Brown Stockings. The Nationals are O
strong team and are in tie lead for Tho
State pennant. but tho Brown
Stockings and their friends
are confident of better luck
Tor Dallas Tan resulted in the series
with the Galveston team. The home
club is stronger and in better playing
trim than when the Galvestons were
here, and feel that on tomorrow they
will be able to. break their chain Of
league defeats, and begin piling up vic
tories for the State chamsionship. Those
who feel that Dallas has a weak team
may he surprised at their lack
Of faith before the present series
is over. The Brown Stockings here
played more out Of luck than from the
lack of capacity. The State league sea
son is young yet, and Dallas has as good
a showing for the pennant as any other
club. Even the leaders Cthe Nationalist
have scored as many defeats rs the
Browns, and have plenty more awaiting
them. The HERALD tomorrow will
give the the names and positions of the
two mines.
NOTES.
Clark, the new man from Chicago,
who makes his first appearance with the
Browns tomorrow, it is said, shows up
as welt in practice as any player ever
an al Nal V,fr. l., /
by many as the equal Of "Patscy" Car
roll or Tommy Murray.
The management of the Brown
Stockings, owing to the great
amount Of dissatisfaction eX-
pressed last Sunday, have deter
mined to change the price of admission
to 30 cents for games during the week,
and y cents on Sunday. This is done
TO meet the representation of the large
class Of lahoring people who say they
cannot attend weekday games, and that
| 80 cents for them to pay is hardship
! The management Of the home team does
not wish to do anything unfair with
the poorer classes who desire Ia
ENJOY the sport, and THEN
action in the premises is certainly COM
mondable. The admission to all games
week days and Sunday-wuuld be
] 4
do so, but all State league clubs are
under heavy expense of travelling and
/ salary lists, and the 10 cents admission
| is necessity, or else an inferior class OF
! players would have to be employed.
The presence of the ladies is most as.
pccially desired and courted by the base
| ball people, and the assurance is given
| that hereafter no improper conduct viii
| he allowed. That of last Sunday, i'm the
! guisc of foot race, was no fault of the
base ball club. 1t was gotten up hv ont
siders and as soon as the club manage
mcnt made the discovery Of the i'm
proper appearance the thing wa,
checked, the shameless parties arrested
and meritcd fine in court assessed
| This example will have the salutarN
I @..!a". ~ preventing similar scenes il
| the future,
Ladies' with escorts will here
after bc charged only Twenty-Five
cents admission, either on week day,
or sundays. An effort will to-day nt
made to change the second game viii
the llouslons To sunday and the thirt
game 10 Monday. Saturday is NATURAL,
a bad day for base bal N Dallas, as il /
the big business day Tor all classes, an,
a. Il consequence a large number q
people who would attend mt any othe
time, rcnain away on tina
/, day. Financially, the change 81.
gestcd would be good one for bot
clubs, besides giving the players goo
days rest between games.
Crothcrs, the Brown Stocking pitcher
is becoming acclimatcd and acrliStome
to this Dallas water" and thinks h
will hold out better than he did i'm tn
Galveston games. lie is certainly u yer
fine man IN the box, as his ST. Louis am
Kansas city records show, but, like tn
best of them, he is only mortal, am
liable To an oil day.
