LOST ON ERRORS.
The FL Pasos Defeat the Santones in
a Splendid Game.

san Antonio Dlte the dust before
the FL PasO aggregation of stat
ball players yesterday afternoon
: 1t was splendid game from be-
ginning to finish. The long frame
; of humanity identified as Harry
Lesterjette, Esq, from Calvert, sur
prised the natives by his wonder.
full work with the ash. He met the
ball squarely on the trademark
every time he went to bat. He
made two singles and lined a
hot shot to second and was
thrown out at firsC. AL
though the "child from Calvert"
connected with the ball for two
singles, he reached first only once,
as his pedal eXtremities were not
nimble enough to convey him to
the bag which all batters have to
touch before becoming baserun-
ners, and as Dad Phelan remarked
he could roll bale of hay and beat
one of Harry's hits out. But Harry
couldn't, for Dean, the "Sandcrab,"
picked up the ball behind second
| and executed one of his wonderful
throws and Mr.. LeSteriette's career
| as baserunner was checked for
the day.
The locals scored the first run in
the game. Lesterjette was the
first to the bat. He waited
for three balls and two strikes
and drove the next ball pitched
past second for one base. Center
fielder Dean, who is only known
by the cranks as "the fellow with
the little red cap" picked up the
same identical ball that "Les." hit
and threw to first, the throw was
wild one and went into the
bleacheries, while Harry made
a tour of the circuit and Tailed.
FL PasO scored in the fourth.
Keefe singled to right. He was adj
vanced by "Sport" McAllister's
single past short and crossed the
plate on Deans drive to center for
two bases. This was the only
earned run scored in the game. FL
PasO scored again in the sixth on
an error of Garcia in right. Harbert
singled past short. Edwards hit in
front of the plate and reached first.
Emmett Rogers throw to second
which put out Whiting who hit
safely to third and tried to steal
second. Two hands were out,
Dean having hit to pitcher and
was thrown out at first. Two men
were also on the bases. The next |
man up was Weber. He drove a |
fly to Garcia. The latter made a
long run and got under the ball, |
but dropped it and Herbert and |
Edwards came home. Page |
singled to Hamilton in left and |
Weber crossed the plate. Page |
endeavOred to make a double hit,
but was thrown out at second by |
Hamilton, retiring the side with
the score 4 to |, for the visitors.
Their last run was scored
in the seventh as follows:
Keete reached first on. an error
of Dewey. McAllister made a
clever sacrifice in front of the home
plate. Matthews went to first on
balls. Dean flew out to center.
Herbert struck out, but Emmett,
our reliable backstOp, dropped the
ball and Herbert ran for first. The
handsome catcher picked up and
threw to Johnson. The throw was
a fine one, and Herbert saw that
death was near. He made a final
effort to survive and leaped up in
front of the ball, thus preventing
first baseman from catching the
ball and putting the runner out.
This interference caused the ball
to pass the first baseman, who was
the throw to hit the run
ner, and Keefe scored.
The umpire should have called
Herbert out for interfering with a
fielder, for such were Herbert's
intentions. This would also have
retired the side and the last run
would not have been scored.
Dewey scored the second and last
run for the Saints in the eighth.
He singled to right and when he
reached first he drew the pitcher on
to throw to first. Keefe acted ac-
and made a wild throw
and Dewey came home. The final
score was to 2 for FL Paso.
The FL Paso left for Austin last
night and play there today. From
the Capital City FL PasO goes to
Galveston and then back north.
