The Panthers got there yesterday.

The score at the end of the ninth in

1t was a surprise, ana nobody was
more surprised than were the victors 4.
The vanqujshed were also somewhat
startled.
games of this season at Fort Worth. The
score was so close and the playing SO
sharp and vigorous that the spectators
were not sure just how the thing would
end until it was finished, as aforesaid
The Fort Worths got down to business
from the start. Maurer was the first
man at bat, and he got hit with a
| pitched ball and was given his base. He
made twenty foot slide and got second
while Rodemaker was striking out.
| Then Fogarty went to the rubber and
| cracked out base hit, on which Maurer
| scored. The Fort Worths made no more,
and the Galvestons did not make any
until the fifth inning, when the Sand
Grabs rolled up couple to their credit.
This is the way they did it: Pender
went to bat first, but he tapped an easy
one to Wehrle, who tossed him out at
first. Kid Peoples went to bat and sent
base-hi roofing over the second plate.
HeTemained there while Luby went out
ss5n fly to Maurer in center field. With
two men out, Peoples began to hustle
earound the bases. He stole second.
SteinZel went to bat. After tanning the
zephyrs a couple of times he sent high
fly out to center field. Maurer got under
it, but the ball wouldn't stay IN his
hands. Peoples came home and Stein
eel reached second base. Ward
was the next man TO bat and he increased
the agony by tanning out two Dagger,
on which Steinzel scored, giving GAL
weston a total of two. Polhemus knocked
hot one to Rodemaker, who unavoida-
bly, let it go over his head. 1t rolled
along the ground until almost in his
hands, when it gave hig bounce and
got away. Ward got to third on this
and Polhemus to first. The latter got
monkeying too far off his base and
that caught him, retiring the side. The
score then stood Galveston, 2; Fort
Worth, l.
The sky took on a murky hue, then,
metaDhorically speaking mo rift appeared
in the clouds for three more innings.
during which neither side got to the home
plate, and when the ninth inning came
the score was unchanged.
Then the Painters opened up the fseF
works. Rourke got first on tumble of
his grounder by Peoples. Money went
out to Ward on second base. Adams
did the same to Pender on third. Wehrle
went in and manipulated the rubber un-
til he got his base on balls, advanc-
ing Rourke to second. George
MauTer knocked hot one to Ward, who
let it escape, while Rourke and Wehrle
were flying around the diamond. Ward
made a shot to the home plate to cut off
Rourke, but he threw wild and both
Rourke and Wehrle came in out of the
wet, while Maurer reached third base.
Redemaker sent a fly out toward left
field, which Peoples chased, but he did
not get under the ball and let it drop
while Maurer was spacing off the
sail between third and home.
Three runs had been made in
the inning and the fun ended there.
Fogarty went out on a fly to right
field.
That made the total score to 9. GAL
weston still had an inning and the specta-
tors were trifle anxious about the situa-
LlOu. II was Ill rlRnI, LnougnI LOT no
more runs were made and so the game
ended.
Wehrle was in the box for Fort Worth,
and he did fine work, the Galveston
sluggers only getting six safe hits off
him. He was well supported. Rode
makers errors were difficult to avoid.
Stencil catching was perhaps, the
great feature.
of the game. He ran after foul fiys in
all directions, and nabbed some of them
in apparently impossible places.
The score was as follows:
