Waco WIN Have a Hot Team

Horace Moore, of Waco. writes that he
will have a winning baseball team this
season, and judging from the players he
has already cOrraled to represent theGey-
ser City, that's no lie. Here's the list:
Catcher, Matthews, who played
with Ell PaSo last season: pitch
ers, Whitney, also with El Paso
last season. Order and McCulloch;
first base, Douglass; second base, Van
Dyne; short stop, Shorty" Burland: left
field, Fleming; right field, Hollings-
worth, and one of the pitchers in center.
Most of these players are known to San
Antonio ball cranks and if the Alamo
City wants to be in it this year, she'l
have toget hump on herself.

SAN ANTONIO MAY BE A RAILROAD
CENTER YET.
City Council at Length Gives the
Right-of-Way Asked for by
the Gulf Shore Company.

Yesterday afternoon, at o'clock, as the
LIGHT was on its press, the council com.
mittee on the Gulf Shore right-o Of way
matter reconvened in the city hall, and
began two hours session.
The clinching point in favor of grant
ing the road the right of-way, as asked,
was made by Col. c. Z. Gibbs, land COM
missioner for the Southern Pacific, who
was sent for and asked If the right-of-
way into the railroad reservation would
be given this road? Col. Gibbs did not see
why it should. The Southern Pacific
owned every foot of this reserve, in addi-
ton TO their private tracks on Walnut
street, and would fight any uSurpation of
their right up to the highest court in the
land. The high officers of the road might
be implored, but he thought it improbable
they would consent.
The committee then adjourned, notified
Mayor PaSchal and he at once called
special session of the city council to con-
vene at 7:3G p. m. On assembling a full
board was found to be present, and the
committee thereupon presented their re-
port, as follows:
Gentemen-Your committee appointed
to confer with the Gulf Shore Railway
would respectfully submit and
recommend the following: That after
thoroughly examining into the Cuffs

Aldermen Elmendorf, Menger, Mackey
and Hoeting voted against IL.
| Attorney Ireland, for the road, then
asked that the city council order Dawson
street to be graded, as the road could not
be commenced until this was done. AL
derman Newton met this emergency with
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the city engineer estab-
| liSh the grade of Dawson street In accord
ance with the ordinance granting the
San Antonio and Gulf Shore railroad
right of way and report at next meeting
of the Council.
Under the head of new business toe fol-
lowing urgent business was attended to
before adjournment:
Newton Resolved that the street COM

filled up es ordered. Adopted.
Newton-That the city engineer report

structed sidewalks in accordance with

club that the city council declare We'd

half holidays in all the city offices and
schools in order to allow officials and en-
ployes to attend the races. Adopted.
NOTES.
Although the call had been made
quietly large audience had caught on"
and was present.
The session was long one, and the al
dermen were tired.
The special committee worked all day
without rest and were half starved for
something to eat.
Col. Reuter- helped them out, however.
All praise to Aldermen Daugherty,
Beckmann and Newton.
1t is not thought possible that injunc-
tion suits will be brought by the dis
affected ones.

Newton presented the following report:

the City Council to grant a right-Of- way
to reach block No. 20, known as the com
pany's depot grounds, regardless as to
whether that is the most practicable route
for the road to get into the city, then
Dawson street and the streets above
crossed are the best routes for such pur-
pose. believe the depot grounds should
be located on or near Center street and
that Center street is the most direct and
feasible route for the company into the
city; that a road can be built over this
route with less excavation and less dan
ger and damage to the public and proper
