NO CHANGE.
The Missionaries Continue to Play
Rotten Ball.

Rotten Ball.
The Sherman Orphans dropped
in yesterday to fatten their per-
centage in the league race. That's
what every club in the league has
been doing in San Antonio for the
past month.
The Orphans didn't play bit
better than the Missionaries.
The fielding of both sides was very
yellow and neither side made more
than nine hits. The only reason
that the Orphans won is because
they punched their hits and scat
tered their errors, while the Mis-
sionaries, as usual, punched the
errors and scattered the hits. In
the first inning the visitors made
five runs on two singles, a wild
pitch and errors by Chamberlain,
Rivas and Reese, the latter making
two. The Orphans scored again in
the fourth on a base on balls, three
singles, three stolen bases and
Kings error, making four runs.
In the sixth the Orphans were
forced to make a run. With the
bases full w. Douglass went to
first on balls and Broderick was
forced home. The Orphans scored
again in the seventh on kaymer's
error of Maloney's hit.
The Missionaries scored their
first run in the third on Kaymer's
hit over the fence. Another man
came in in the fourth by base on
balls and two errors. In the
seventh the Orphans made three
errors and the Missionaries three
singles, and a sacrifice and three
runs were scored for San Antonio.
Two more runs were scored in the
eighth by four errors and one hit.
Result-Sherman Il; San Anto-
MO 7.
DIAMOND DOTS.
Kaymer put the ball over the
fence yesterday when no one was
on the bases. The next inning,
when the bases were full, he struck
out.
Umpire Butler gave us the worst
Of the close decisions yesterday.
In one case he called fair ball a
foul, which cost the home team a
run.
Rivas made another attempt at
a circus catch and was taken out
Of the game.
Manager McCloskey, Of Louis
vile. is now after Pitcher Clarkson,
Of St. Louis. He also tried to get
Dan Brouthers for first base. Mac
seems to have given up the idea OF
trying to win games with young
bloods and is out after the old
timers.
The Missionaries start on their
grand tour next Tuesday, playing
at Dallas, May %. %, "a, at Sher-
man May %, &c, ~, at Fort Worth
May %, 90, 30, at Shreveport May
81, June l, 2. They then come
home to play Houston here June
4, 5, 6, and Galveston June T.. 9.
A new pitcher named Blythe
was on the slab yesterday. He has
good command and good curves
and enough speed to hold his own.
He pitched good game, and with
a little support would have won it.
The Orphans play their last
game here tomorrow. Shreveport
comes next and plays here Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday.
The following are the results of
the Texas Southern league champ
ionship games Of yesterday: At
Austin-Shreveport 5, Austin 4
at Houston-Dallas l6, Houston !;
at Galveston-Fort Worth 10, Gal
weston 9.
Dallas won and Galveston lost
yesterday and now Dallas is at the
top with Galveston, Shreveport,
Houston, Fort Worth, Sherman,
Austin and San Antonio following
in order.
Hughes has gotten into habit
which he should break. When he
strikes at a ball he steps away
from the plate. Instead of stepping
back he should step forward and
meet the ball.
Jack Brennan assumed the
management of the Austin team
yesterday. He began wedding at
once, and ex-Manager Schachern,
|, Outfielder Gates, Shortstop Bog
giano and Pitcher Rundell are now
looking for new jobs.
} Abbott is himself again. He is
: fielding a la Jerry Denny, and
his present hitting is Of the 3OC
grade.
Kaymer's leg has been sore
