TWO GAMES PLAYED
And the Fort Worth Team Cap
lures Both with Great Ease.
One of the Most Exciting Games Of the
Season was that Played at
Houston Yesterday.
The Galvestons Seek Their Island with Empty
POckets-Dallas Takes Two Straight
Games from Austin.


Twice yesterday the home team and the
Waco met on the squared diamond, and
two games were added to Fort Worth s
total Of victories.
In the first game young Patterson,
late of Chattanooga, did the delivery act
for the visitors, and the Panthers gave
him most hospitabIe reception for his
initiative game. They gagged him for
ten safe hits, three of them doubles, and
piled up nine runs III the seven innings,
which constituted the game. The gen.
tlemen from IndiauYilie were scarcely
less cordial in their treatment of Shell,
whom they sized up for nine single bag
gers. Aided by wild throws and SIGH,
they scored q total of five runs, two being
made in the first inning and three in the
last.
The game was rather slow, and, while
there were some good plays, it lacked the
eXhilOrating features of a mere even con-
test. The chief feature was the batting
of Lemons. He found Patterson four
times, made single, two doubles, and
then laced a long one into deep center
which PettifordS by a good chase, cap
tured. frost followed in batting with
three times at bat, and double, a sin
gle and a sacrifice to his credit. Welsh
four times at bat, made double, a SIN
gle and two sacrifices. For the visitors
Rose, Hossamaer and O'Neill each made
two singles.
The second game had a good deal more
CriJ,Crar in Of Cavpu
ings also, and for while it looked like
it might go to Waco.
'McVey scored in the first on a hit, a
stolen base and sacrifices by Crogan and
Hill. The first three Indians up were re-
tired.
In the second, with one out, Welsh
got life on four balls, went to second on
passed bali and TO third on dead ball.
Than Mott lifted sacrifice fly out to
Petfffard and Welsh scored. Waco
failed TO come across the plate.
Lpsthe third France, McYey and Gro
tg7ka went out in rapid succession. Then
Sgt0se hit safe and went to third, when
McVey threw Duff grOuuder over
Motz's head. Duff stole second and two
TALES were brought III when PettifOrd
raped out a safe one. PettifOrd died
trying TO steal second. Then o NELL
lined ont a safe enc. Mccormick
sacrificed him to second, and he
came home on Hassamaer' sIashing
three-bagger into right. Ellsworth then
hit safe and Hassamaer scored. Greedy
ended the agony with a lily into right
field which frost nipped. Score: Waco,
4: Fort Worth, 2, and the Indians swing
ing their war clubs with great effect
in the fourth, after Hill had persisted
I, ffY-4 hClI
and second on passed ball. Then frost
got four bad ones anu was sent 60 first.
Welsh hit safe and Fogartv came in,
frost taking second. NIotz hit to Greedy,
vino stopped the ball and Tabeau picked
it up, forcing Welsh at second, while
.Trest moved up TO third. Pike struck
out. Waco failed to connect with the
plate in this inning, though Duff
hit safe and stole second. Score: Waco,
4: Fort Worth, 8. The grand stand be-
gan to take on cerulean hue.
Then came the bloody fifth.
France got q life on four bad ones.
McVey hit safe. CrogaR got four balls,
and the bases were full. Hill then
raised a high one to short right: which
Hassamaer got under and muffed, and
then threw home to head Oft France
The throw was wild. France and McVey
both scored. Crogan vent TO third
and Hill to second. Fogarty
then made safe drive, and
Crogan and Hill scored. Then frost
got one put where he wanted and lifted
it out into left over o 'NeiI s head .
While that gentleman was chasing it
under farm horse scraper that occu-
pied deep left, Fogarty paced home and
frost made the circuit. Hits and errors
followed until five more runs bad raised
the total for that inning to ten, when
Fogarty ended the fun by flying out to
Duff For Waco, Pettiford, O'Nieu
and Mccormick went out in rapid sue
cession Fort Worth, ID; Waco, f.
From this out the game was without
interest The Painters raised their
total to fifteen in the sixth, and the In
dams added three to theirsin the seventh.
At the end of the first game Lemons
was taken sick, and McVey was called
ia TO play short, Crogan going to left,
Fogarty to center and frost to right.
McEey made another circus play in the
fifth inning, running almost to the left
field fence TO scoop in foul fly which
Pettiford had, hit up.

team and Derrick for the visitors
