AUSTIN WINS.
A Game Astounding With Hard Hitting
and Bad Errors BIZ the Panthers.
Galveston Shut Out in the Dallas Game-Han
over Beaten at Sara toga-An Oh
Day for Eayorites.

1t was a rocky game yesterday, in
which the Austin club beat the home
team by a score of y to 10.
When the home team in the second
inning by bases on balls and some slash
ing hits, piled up six runs it looked as
though they had a walkover. But the
Austins in their half of the inning went
one better, and the score stood seven to
six. How the runs were made can be
judged when it is known that six chances
for put outs were unaccepted before the
side was retired, and only one safe hit
was made
Five more runs were made by Austin,
and Fort Worth got in four more.
The umpiring of Fritz was unsatisfac-
tory. His Judgment on balls and strikes
was very bad and tended to rattle both
pitchers and everybody that went to the
bat.
In the fifth inning two lively rows took
place. MotZ was on first and Pike hit a
grounder. It was fielded to Bright at
second, who stepped off the base in the
act of getting it. The umpire thought
he got the ball before his foot left the
base, and called Motz out. Everybody
in the grand stand thought MOtz was
safe, and so did the Fort Worth players,
who made a considerable kick. Fritz
was firm and MotZ had to come in.
Pike got to second on Shells out.
Then McVey hit a ball which was
fumbled, and Pike scored. The Austin
players declared that Pike had not
touched third, but Fritz allowed the run
to be scored. O'ConnOr and Duane of
the Austin team behaved III a most dis
graceful manner, and if Fritz had been
possessed of the nerve of chicken,
hehsWould have ordered both of
sthssn to the bench. O'ConnOr
ran in and disputed with the umpire,
throwing his hands around, and finally,
as many thought, striking Fritz i'll the
face. Welsh and Fritz, and others who
were standing by, aver, however, that
O'COnnOr did not strike him. Then
Duane put in and his war of words end 9
by his striking Fritz At this juncture a
number of the spectators hoped over
onto the field, and the players from the
capital city were compelled to go on with
the game. At the conclusion of the game
O'Connor and Duane were both arrested
and required to give bond for their ap-
pearance before the recorder this morn
ing.
, Such scenes are not conducive to the
popularity OF base ball playing, and it is
safe to say there will be no repetition of
such. The rule for the imposing and
collection of fines will be hereafter
strictly enforced on the Fort Worth
grounds, and such breaks as those Of
O'Connor and Duane will be 9pt to break
the kickers.
Shell pitched fine game, considering
the discouragements under which he
labored. He was hit safe seven times
with a total of nine. Bates was properly
guaged thirteen times with a total of six
teen.
The error column shows how the game
was lost and won.
Following is the official score:

Workmanship seen on this track for
many years. Both Hanover and Los

LOSS OF THE LITTLE OHIO.
Terrible Suffering of Ships Crew in a Storm
in Alaskan Waters.

Terrible Suffering of a Ships Crew in a Storm
in Alaskan Waters.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 3O.-The
steamer Dora from Seal islands, Alaska,
brings two survivors of the whaling bark
Little Ohio from New Bedford, Mass.
which was wrecked off Point Hope,
Alaska, October 3, 1888 From them
details of the wreck are learned for the
first time. Lisburne was sighted on
the morning of October 3. The
day was windy and toward evening
one Of the worst storms ever experienced
in that region came up. About 9 o CLOCK
the bark struck near Point Hope, but as
the air was dense with snow 1t was
thought an iceberg had been struck.
The vessel seemed to be rapidly going to
pieces, and Capt. George G. Allen or
dered the mate to cut away the masts.
This was the last order given by the cap
tain, rs he was never seen again, a
heavy sea carrying him overheard.
The Ohio broke up rapidly,
but the seas were so strong
that il was impossible for men, who
were nearly frozen to death, to keep
their hold on the masts and rigging,
and they were thrown into the roaring
waters. All told, these were thirty
three men on board, and but eight Of
them now survive. Most of the men
were frozen so stiff that they could not
keep themselves above the water, and
persisted before the vessel went to pieces.
Alexander Omey gave up hope while on
the vessel and killed himself with his
pistol First Mate Thomas F. Pease,
Second Mate Thomas II Mills were so
badly frozen that they died upon the
beach. Several men were killed by the
debris of the wreck while attempting to
crawl upon the beach. On October 10,
Third Mate Manuel Lopez, and Fourth
Mate Joseph Enos with three sailors put
off to intercept a passing whaling bark,
and the natives saw the boat capsize and
all were drowned. ,-s5s
