DALLAS, TEX, Aug. "a holy cain
has brooded over Dallas all day, and a
sacred stiffness that the citizens seemed
10th to break even by going to church.
The places of worship were, therefore,
not moderately well Sled, and most
of the sermons fell upon the unheediug
ears OF empty benches.
BASE BALI.
4 SUNDAY game OF ball is almost sure
to bring on rain here, and the members
of the Dallas Browns were rather blue
today when the moisture began
to pour down. But an inycstiga-
tiOn after the rain ceased showed
the grounds to be in good order, and the
bullctin-boardS throughout the city an
nounccd that the game between Dallas
and TeXarkana would be called at 1880.
That hour found but few people present,
as it was generally thought the game
would be postponed. The grounds were
not in good condition, and the game was
rather tedious. The score was; Dallas,

again tomorrow.
