THE BIGGEST CROWD EVER IN a
TEXAS BALL PARK cHEERED
ELsEY's MEN ON TO VICTORY
AND GRfNNEp AT GALVESTON
LAST OF THE SERIES TODAY.

The record OF attenudhce On jan
games in Texas was broken yesterday
afternoon at the park. Fully 1000
lovers of the great sport were there to
see Galveston get licked, and their
hopes were fully realized. 1t was a
good game, but Fort Worth managed
to pile UP ten more runs than their
yictors of the day before. The cal
lies" struggled to get ahead, and ac-
cepted defeat with bad grace, but all TO
no avail. They only had eight men
with which 70 play. Their third base
man, Blakey, played as bad bail as
was ever witnessed on League dia-
mond. He was in the way and a detri-
ment to the team, which would have
played better ball without any third
basemau at all than one like Blakey

Wuudcncke behaved nicely at the bat
too. They hit Page for all he was
worth. Page is usually much better
than Hrlstuw, but the latter has pitched
better ball here. Flanagan played SEE

cheored long and often for his ny
catches The left fielder Is very ny
anyhow. Those who claimed he was
playing for his release took back all
they had said at the end Of yesterdays
game.

GUS, good-uature1 and enthusiastic.
These last two adjectlves may be APP
piled to Manager Richards and Mr..

their faces as they thought OF the
Jingle OF tho silver in the box. The
