Wants a Change of Program.

From the Weekly TOngulet.
One of the greatest difficulties
with the Negro, as a race, in
America is that he is not possessed
with the cOnscientiousness of any
particular mission or life-work
divinely enjOined upon him to &C
complish. If our press could just
get the ministers to preaching that
C"EthiOpia shall yet stretch forth
her hand unto God, and a nation
yet arise out of Egypt.O as long
and strong as they preach to keep
up their regular stipends, their
star Of hope in our benighted
grouping would soon appear
Bretheren and ministers let us
have a change of program.

There Will Be an Adjourned

meeting of the Confederate Camp,
at the county court room, at s
o'clock this evening. The COM
mittee appointed to inquire into
the prOpriety and the ability of the
camp to get up a barbecue, are
expected to. report. Many men,
bers of the camp attended the
barbecue given by the Confeder-
ate of Wilson county and were
highly pleased with their treat
ment on that occasion. They are
fearful they can not do as we'll as
their Wilson county brothers, but
are willing to ascertain if it is
practicable to try.

A NEW CLUB.
The Old Team Dlsbanded and a
New One to be Formed.

At meeting of the San Antonio
| Baseball club held on Thursday
night, it was decided to disband
the team. This step was taken on
account of several of the present
members resigning. The remain
ing members held another brief
meeting subsequently to the dis
bandment of the club and it was
decided to reOrganize the club.
Manager Phelan has received word
from Bob Ponder, Ollie Smith and
Pitcher Mason, the Southern
leaguers, who are anxious to come
to San Antonio. If the team is re-
organized and the above players
are secured, the Alamo City will
have the strongest team that has
ever represented her on the
d iamOnd.
With the team under the man.
agement of Mr.. Phelan, success is
assured. He has demonstrated to
the public that all the teams he
has ever handled in this city were
among the best in the state and
held their own with everything
they have ever met. Mr.. Phelan
would also very probably have
made a success of the professional
team last year that represented
San Antonio in the Texas League.
He deserves the hearty support of
the public, and with that accorded
him he will unquestiOnably bring
the Alamo city to the top of the
ladder of fame in the baseball
world.
In the event that the organiza-
ton will go into effect, the team
will be made up as follows: EN-
NETT Rogers, catcher; John Payne,
Ollie Smith, Bob Fender and
Mason, alternating as pitchers and
fielders; Jack Phelan, first base;
Dad Phelan, second base; Billy
KOerps, short stop; Bob Fender
third base; Hamilton, left field,
and one of the pitchers in right
field. This will then be what is
known as semi-prOfessional team
and will no doubt be able to cope
with any in the south.
j. j. McClOskey and Pat Flaherty
are said to be in Houston, which is
very likely to be true, as they
always winter in the Bayou city,
and they will spare no pains or
any amount of hustling to have
a good congress of baseball
talent. surrounding them to repre-
sent that city from now until
next spring.
The San Antonio public was al
ways yearning for good ball, and
it is to hoped that their wishes
will be fulfilled by the new organ
iZatiOn.

The Colored Militia.

From the Weekly TOngueletI
The ColOred encampment has
come and gone. The willingness
with which these soldiers entered
into camp life show that they are
the natural soldiers of this cOun-
try. The fact that the state made
no appropriations for the encamp-
ment, the companies defraying
their own expenses, is why there
were so few companies in attend
ance. The state should encourage
the cOlored militia and thereby
enable them to organize more COM
panieS.

Country Town Ball Cranks.

The FL Paso press claims that the
FL Paso baseball team was defeated
by the locals with the assistance of
the umpire and that the local team
is composed of "bulleys" instead Of
ball players. FL Paso is a One-hOrse
country town and has some red
hot sports. 1t wouldn't do for the
Ell PasO team to go home and say
they were defeated squarely. They
might lose their jobs and the red
hot sports would probably have to
get a new jOb-lot of ball players
First class thoroughbred sports are
never known to kick when they
lose their bets, and FL Paso claim
ing to have the biggest sports in
the state, should bear that in mind.
Attaching the blame to the UNI
pire is what country town ball
clubs do and FL Paso shows that
she is amongst such.
