THE THIRD STRAIGHT.
Fort Worth Again Beats Galveston in a
Magnificent Game of Bali.
Dallas Takes Her Third Game from Houston
The Waco Team Disbanded, the Cause
Lack OF Patronage.

THE Galveston series ended Yesterday
with one of the best played games of
ball ever seen in Fort Worth.
It was q pitchers battle, in which
Mallory had the best of it in that no hits
were made off him at critical juncture
Fours single and one double were secured
off his delivery, of which two OF the sim
giles were made in the ninth, and all the
others scattered. In addition to pitch
ing fine game Mallory was supported
perfectly, not an error being made in
fielding, 6nd not one of the Galveston
team ever got as far along as third base.
frost caught Mallory in magnificent form.
In spite Of lame ankle that kept him
limping, and notwithstanding two foul
tips that caught him on his re-
Gently broken color bone, he played
beautiful game, a passed ball being
the only thing that married its perfection.
Aud how he did throw to second. Not q
stolen base is charged up against him.
O'Neill was in the box for the visitors
and pitched a very strong game, barring
the second and sixth innings, in the
former of which he was sized up for Two
doubles, and in the latter he sent three
men to bases on balls and suffered for a
single. No sort Of support would have
saved him, for, in spite of the general
excellence Of his work, he lost the game.
Tuohy did great backstOp work, and
threw to bases in fine style.
The first score was made in the second.
Fogarty made q cOrking TWO Dagger, and
when Welch hit to O'ROurke tried to
make third and was run down by
O 'Rourke and VENT; then Motz hit to
Behne, who failed to hold it, and Welsh
had second and Motz first Pike IS two
Dagger brought WEIGH home, but Motz
was caught at third. frost was hit with
the ball and sent to first Mallory got
four bad ones and the bases were full.
Then McVey raised a pop-up, which
0 NELL cared for, and the inning was
done
No more runs were made until the
sixth. Then Crogan got first on balls
and went to second on q wild pitch.
Hill got four bad ones and stole second.
FOgarty hit safe and CrOgan scored,
while Hill went to third. Fogarty tried
to steal second and TuOhy threw to
Wentz, for the purpose of starting Hill
in and catching him at the plate. But
the fly third baseman was too quick on
his feet for the scheme to work, and the
best WentZ could DO was to touch FOgarty
out, while Hill scored. That ended the
run getting.
Galveston had fine looking opportuni-
ties to score twice. In the sixth, with
one man out, Huston hit for two bases.
Reliable O'Rourke and hard hitting
Proesser followed, and a run seemed in
evitable. But Long George braced him
self up and caused the reliable to lift a
fly out to Fogarty, and then struck out
the hard hitter.
In the ninth, after O'ROurke had
struck out, Proesser hit safe and VENT
followed with a single. Then O'Nenl
waltzed up with well-selected stick in
his hand. Picking out ball that he
thought was about his size and style, he
smote it with great effect. How it did
whistle as it flew through the air down
the left foul line, looking good to bring
in two runs. And so it would have been
but for one thing. And that thing was
McVey. Running with the ball, by one
of those marvellous catches of which he
seems to be master, the Sreat left
fielder scoOped it to him, and
threw to Hi in time to keep
Proesser at second. Then Behne raised
an easy one out to McVey and the game
was won.
The Galveston club, the most orderly
and gentlemanly team that has visited
Fort Worth this season, will be seen here
no more, as this is their last series away
from home. They have played good
ball, and have always been favorites in
Fort Worth.
To-day the Houston IS begin O series of
four games. They are now the leaders
and the home club the tail end
ers, Waco having disbanded yesterday
and, unless all the signs of the base ball
zodiac are at fault, the spectacle will be
witnessed of the club with the highest
percentage being used as a mop by the
club with the lowest.
Following is the official score of yester-
day s game:
