SAVED FROM A sHUT-ouT.
The Visitors, Although Beaten.
Scored the Only Earned Run.

Scored the Only Earned Run.
Had the Austin Senators been
aware, or had they even sus-
picioned, what the San Antonio
s fellows had in store for them, they
would very probably have followed
the example of Corsicana-pOst-
pOned the game for some future
date.
The Senators, however, came
over, flushed with victory, and the
autographs of McCarty, Paddy
Smith, ct ais, were dubbed in bold
English letters on the big register
of the Southern hotel.
The game was begun at half past
four in the presence of about 1000
spectators and one hour and forty
five minutes were consumed in
making basehits, runs and errors,
the visitors especially, having a
good supply of the latter. "Del"
Walker, who won the game for the
AUStiniteS before, again Otficiated
in the center of the diamond,
with a good assortment of curves
and drops. If he had to depend
solely upon his fielders, the game
would not be over yet. The field
erS for the visitors really played
like a set Of dummies, considering
that they claim to be first
class amateurs. Walker pitched
a good game, only nine hits being
secured off him, and had the other
eight players done as we'll, the
game would have been more inter-
esting for the many Austin rooters
that were present. Lesterjette
pitched a magnificent game for
San Antonio and the fielders gave
him excellent support.
San Antonio began the run get
ting early in the second inning
with base on balls, a wild pitch
and single by Lockwood.
In the third Austin's hopes were
shattered. The locals hit the ball
hard and often and the more San
Antonio would hit the ball
so much more had the score
keeper to do registering errors for
the visitors. In that inning the
visitors succeeded in making just
five errors. The runs were made
Roses base on balls, Les
teriettess' safe hit, Dahlich's error
on KOerps' hit, single by Dewey,
Martins single, JOhnson's hit, an
error of the catcher, Payne's single,
Walkers wild pitch and McCar-
tly's error on Lockwood's hit-just
eight runs. Another run was
scored by San Antonio in the fifth,
which was the last, making the
total for San Antonio 10, all of
which were on errors. This run
was scored by Martin in the fol-
lowing manner: A single by
Martin, who took second on Mil |
ler's error, and another base on a
a wild pitch. Payne hit
to the pitcher who played
''Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater"
with the ball, while Martin scored
and good old John Payne got to
first safely and also made cOnnec-
ton at second. Lockwood ruled |
himself out at the plate and Rose
drove one to Shorty McCarty and
was thrown out at first, retiring
the side.
In the eighth the Austin fire fly
Tipped his tail and gave a faint
flash Of hope for the Senators. |
Miller was hit and took first. Dab
Itch hit to pitcher and reached
first safely on an error. j. Martin
hit to Dewey at second and forced
Dahlich out. Del Walker hit to
Dewey, who forced Miller out at
the plate. Byrnes hit safely be-
tween second and third and j.
Martin scored amid storm of
tatOrs. as he saved the visitors
from a severe shut out and scored
the only earned run Of the day.
Buddie hit to Dewey, who threw
the ball home to shut Walker out,
but the little pitcher beat the ball
out and scored the second and last
run for Austin. With two men
on the bases McCarty struck out
retiring the side with a score of
10 to , for SantOne.
The feature of the game was the
excellent umpiring of Mr.. Mooney,
who was as cross as a country
school teacher, and would no more
allow the boys to cut the bases
than a mOther-in-law would think
of allowing her poor daughters
hubby 90 to the "Club."
New officers Elected.
