Record of What has not and What may Occur
in Baseball Circles.
Rain yesterday prevented the game of
ball which was to have occurred between
the Panthers and Sand Crabs, and it was
perhaps the only force under the sun
that could have prevented the Calves
tons getting done up. To-day, If the
weather is favorable, the game will come
off with Wehrle and Duane in the ord
nance department for Fort Worth, and
Galveston g greatest twirler, Huston, in
the box for the Grabs, SteinZel catching.
Professor Leroy stands ready TO make
his aerial trip on the first favorable after
noon, probably to-day if the conditions
are suitable.
Pitcher Smith is on the sick list. A
form OF fever ais him. He keeps COM
pany with MeVey, whose thumb is in bad
shape, and Maurer, whose foot still rem
ders him unit for performing his creased
pole acrobatics around the bases. Unless
Smith RECEIVERS to-day Tobias will be
given chance at the pitchers box.
The manager Of the base ball grounds
explains that the reason he does not
make free entrance to the ball park for
those desiring to see the balloon ascen-
sion in view of the failure of
that affair on Wednesday, is that very
few of those who would take advantage
of the admission would be of those who
paid to see the exhibition on Wednesday,
while the crowd who occupied seats out
side the grounds on Wednesday would be
present to man to see the free exhibit
ton. Very few of those who paid to see
the balloon ascension on Wednesday
and appreciated the reasons for the fail
ure of the same would care to take adj
vantage of free show that would extend
its benefits to those who do not care
enough for the success of baseball in
Texas to patronize the games. There is
very little complaint about the affair ex-
cept from those who were not pecuniariiy
interested in it.

you CAN'T AFFORD IT.

the Baptist Convention Go Away
Disguised.

Within the limits of Texas Fort Worth
has earned reputation envied by all
other cities of the state as an entertainer
of conventions. She has never had q
national assemblage until now, when
the convention of Southern Baptists
is upon her. Do the people appreciate
the Importance of proper reception TO
these delegates2 Or does the magnitude
of the undertaking appall them2 IL
shouldn't. Then why do they not
come forward as on other similar oceas-
ions and offer to entertain them? The
seoresary of the committee on hospitality
is in receipt of letters from 800 delegates
who say they will be here, and at least
$50 more will be heard from before
the convention meets on May
8. This does not include
the number of those who will be here
other than delegates. Only 625 homes
have been secured thus far. This is an
occasion when the citizen who is not able
to contribute in cash to the citY's good
can evinoe his friendly inclination by
less expensive but equally accept
able process. If you can
spare 9 room for the sccommo-
dation of one of these delegates
leave your street and number and the
number of delegates you will take at E.

Judd Boyd, first door east of the Ellis

Professor j. K. Gwynne Of Clinton,
Mo. was visitor at THE GAZETTE bu-
reau to-day. Professor Gwynne came to
Texas about two months ago from Mis-
souri, where for the past two years ne has
filled the position Of secretary of the Mis-
souri, immigration association, doing a
work for the state in that position that
may well be called invaluable. He i
well acquainted with Missouri and with
her manifold natural resources. and is a
competent judge of what constitutes q
tirst-clsss country. To say he is charmed
with the Panhandle region is to put it
mildly. He said to day in substance.
admit IT took considerable talking to
get me to agree to come to Texas to in
vestigate and see for myself that what
was told me was not the utterances OF
well-meaDing but over enthused real es-
tate boomers. 1 told Gen. R. A. Cam
eron and others that it was useless to try
to stuff me about the Panhandle; that it
would do to tell to those not so well ac-
quainted with the methods of interested
parties and boomers. They said TO me,
come and see for yourself. About six
weeks ago came. I have been up in
the Panhandle country; knowledge has
come, doubt has been dissipated, and
prejudice has vanished. find that the
Panhandle country is the most fertile and
productive portion of Texas. The farm
ers there are rejoicing over the plenteous
rains and the assurance of abundant
crops. It is q great wheat country. The
rich chocolate soil is so deep that it can
not be exhausted. The country is well
watered and the climate healthful and
delightful. The face of the country is
not a monotonous level; there is sufi-
Gent undulation, basin here, en- elevs-
ton there, to make it pleasing and at
tractive to the eye.
The whole section is filling up rapidly.
State school land in Floyd county is
melting away like an April snow before
the midday sun. Last week laid out
the new town of Floyd City, in Floyd
county, and there are several houses al
ready in process of building. Land val
ues are undoubtedly rising. 1t is not an
easy matter to talk about the future of
that section without appearing to exag-
gerate, but can say that the influx of
settlers into Floyd and neighboring coun-
ties amounts almost to stampede. Were
l not q witness of it l would not believe
it. l am going back to Missouri for
short time to tell them about Texas and
the Panhandle country, and 1 feel GER
tain that those who are wise enough to
act on my advice will not let the oppor-
tunity slip to secure some of the cheap
lands that are yet in the market. In
five years those who invest now will
realize from 100 to 500 per cent.
