About five hundred people saw the
Missionaries win their first championship
game in the Texas-Southern league at
San Pedro park yesterday afternoon.
The Missionaries showed wonderful i'm
( provement since last Sundays game with
the amateurs. Their fielding was of the
kind that generally wins games, although
five errors are charged TO them. The
men We're foil of ginger from the start
and they captured the crowd the moment
Umpire Anderson gave the command 10
''play ball"
The Missionaries went TO bat first.
Longey was on the slab to deliver for the
Senators, while Manager Schachern was
at the receiving end. The first man up
was Reese, who struck ont. Abbott took
first Oh balls and King was called out on
strikes. Kaymer hit to pitcher and went
out at first, retiring the side. The first
Senator up was Mcbride He HIT TO Alb
bott, but IL was no use, for he died al the
hands of Hughes. AL. Jack then picked
out his favorlte stick and got acquainted
with one OF Cares curves. He sent a
beauty TO King, and Jack was out.
Boucher went ont TO first by kaymer,
having failed 10 connect with the ball.
In the second inning the Missionaries
scored the first run. Graney went 10 first
on balls, and was advanced a base on
wild pitch. He scored on Anderson's
drive TO right field for base. The Mis-.
sfonaries scored again in the third. Alb
bott drove one past Boucher, stole second
and came in on Kaymer's single TO cen
ter. In the fifth two more runs were
registered for the home team. Clare nit
10 center for one base. Reese did like.
L. Ill 81 W.
Reese came in on Kaymer'S hit 10 left
field.
In this inning the Senators also did
little work with the maple Mcbride
lifted the ball over right field fence for
home RIM, and Jack hit TO left field for
two bases, stole third and scored.
The Missionaries Tailed again in the
eighth inning. King singled TO right,
stole second, went to third on an error
and came ia the same way. The score
: was 10 at this stage of the game, but
in the Missionaries last inning four more
runs came in. Anderson was the first up
inthat inning. He hit TO right for one base.
Clare followed and reached first on Long
ley's error. Reese hit to Bouchers at
short. but he failed to handle the ball and
Anderson and Clare came In. King sin
gled to center and also scored. The SEN
ators had not given up the game yet and
showed that they are no cutters. In
their last inning, after Schachern
had struck out, Mcbride, who
had already made single and
home run, fattened his batting average
with two-base hit to left field. He
was advanced base by Reese's error Of
Jacks hit. Van Dresser lined one out to
center for base and Mcbride came in.
Jack went 10 third and came in on Kay
mer's error of Reese's throw TO catch
Jack at home.
In the field the Missionaries went after
everything. Kaymer caught eXcellently
and his throwing to bases was undOubt
edly the best seen in San Antonio for
some time Clare's pitching was also
very good, but not as good as last Sun
days game, nor as the Chicago game. II
is evident that he has worked too hard
and little rest would no doubt do him
good.
Reese and Graney convinced the spec
tators that they have played ball before
and know little about the game. Reese
made two beautiful catches and Grsney
pulled one down that was making bee
line for centre field and was awarded
a shower of applause.
Ed. Rivas. well known local amateur,
made his debut yesterday as a Lacquer
He played good game in the
field and at the bat. He hit the ball every
time and caught everything that came
his way. with the exception of one hot
liner, which got away from him. Clare
and the boys are highly pleased with
young Riyas' playing. He was also given
warm reception by the audience.

score Of yesterdays game:
