A STAND.OFE.
The Hams and the Panthers Played a
Draw Yesterday.
Wehrle's Work in the Box for Fort Worth
was Fine-An Exciting Game-Ths
Errors Made on Eoth Sides.

A draw, Z to Z, was the result OF yes
terday's ball game between Fort Worth
and Dallas, and it required ten innings
to come to that conclusion.
There were about 600 people on the
grounds very good weekday crowd
but there was bowling Sunday mob
looking over the fence from the outside.
The day was not pleasant for thorough
enjoyment of the game. When playing
first commenced the sky was lowering,
with rain not far off, apparently,
and gradually it became colder,
until before the game was finished quite
q shower had fallen and the spectators
were shivering with the cold, although
not q man, woman or child was seen TO
leave the ground on that account, as the
score was close ana every play was de-
cisiye one.
Speaking generally, the playing was
good. In many points brllllancy
marked the game, and only in one in
of great discontinue. Wehrle,
Fort Worth's new twirler, was in
the box for this city. He
showed up well. He can be emembered
from the time he played in the Texas
league before, and it is the general
opinion that he has improved since then.
The way he would fool the Dallas batters
| at times would bring rOars of laughter
from the spectators. He was well sec
| ouded by Bellmau as catcher. He never
| let a ball get past him, but his throwing
| to second was not beyond criticism,
| though he has improved in the trip.
Fogarty played first base in good shape.
AL Swift, the new second baseman,
| doomed up IN fine shape. He picks up
| the ball off the ground as clean as pan,
and throws like shot. He did not hit
hard yesterday, but then yesterday was
not q good day for hitting. anyway l..
| Altogether, the new second baseman IS
| an acquisition to the team. SHERRY
| PLAYED an errorless game at third, and In
| the seventh inning made the hit that
| tied the game, bringing in two runs.
| Rodemaker had q bad day yesterday
He did not play his game. sAsksy
Dlayed a fine game in loft fields
but didn't get much chance to hit
the ball, as he was given bose on ball
four times. Tobias IN center field was
reliable as ever. In the ninth4Qning he
pulled in long hit OF Tub WeIchsss9 enat
looked like home run, ana loud were
the cheers for Toby. He also got four
neat base hits that did good service "
advancing base runners. Duane was on
of his place in the field, and was not able
to do much. George Maurer and Mike
O'Connor are laid up. Mike will bt
able to get out again soon
it is thought, but Maurer''
ankle will keep him off the diamond To-
some time.
Dallas averaged about the same q
Fort Worth. In fact the result OF yes
terday's game expresses the comparative
merits of the two teams as exhibited
Yesterday. O'Neil was not hit hard
but he gave fourteen bases on balls. H
was not wild, but could not get the ball
over the plate. He was well supportet
by Armstrong behind the bat.
Staunton's umpiring was fai
) and square. His decision
, | were firm, and he controlle'
| the diamond while he was on it. d
balls and strikes he was impartial, but i
= some instances certainly off, which ma
! be attributed to his lack of practice.
To-day's game promises to be exciting
Fort Worth's pitcher will be Smith, VIII
did such fine work in the Southern cities
with Duane behind the bat. Cain n
pitch tor Dallas, with Tub WEIGH sasch
ing him. sE
