nRowNs VS.. GUILE CITY

BKOWNS NS. GULF ClI1S'
Another large crowd greeted the base
ballists at the Fair grounds yesterday
afternoon, only to SEQ the home nine
again done up by the Gulf City club.
The game was hardly up to that OF the
evening preceding, but pretty fair upon
the whole and exhibited some handsome
plays among a lot OF costly errors, prin-
cipally and unfortunately by the
Browns.
AT the end of the first inning the
Browns had one 10 nothing, and at tho
end of the second the game stlll show I
the encouraging and close count Of four
to three in favor of Galveston, but AZ the
close of the third inning 1t had gone up
to seven TO three, Galveston In the lead,
From the third to the sixth inning no
decided change was made but in the
sixth Galveston again piled up three
runs and bid good bye TO their oppoi-
ents, the score then standing eleven TO
four in favor of the visiting team.
The Browns managed to pull up three
more in the remaining innings, but
could not wipe out their opponents big
score, losing the second game of their
series with Galveston by count of II
to7.
The third game and concluding one
between these mines will occur this af-
ternOon. Some material changes, il IL
understood, are to be made to-day in the
composition of the home nine, and far
moro exciting contest is promised. a
change in two or three positions will
bring the Browns fully up to, If not
superior to, the Gulf Citys.
The following is the score by innings;

The championship of the State un
doubtodly lies between the Galveston
and Dallas clubs. Although two defeat,
stare the home team in the face, they
are still in better position to capture th,
pennant than any other club in tn,
league, and victory this afternoon vii
make them most dangerous rivals. The
are only Just starting in on their con
tests, while all the other clubs o
the league have sustained nj
least three defeats. No mat
ter which club wins to-day, al
who witness the game will be well re
paid, as the contests thus far have beer
iirst-class and on their merits. a grea
crowd should greet the players thi
afternoon. Both clubs are on enoI
nous expense from salaries, etc, an
need all the substantial encouragement
