He Had the Missionaries Completely
at HIS Mercy Yesterday.
1t was a battle royal between old
Sol and Jupiter Pluvius yesterday,
and the San Antonio Army Of
Baseball Rooters vas on the anx.
ious seat all the forenoon. The day
began with Jupe in the lead. Then
old Sol broke forth and Pete wasn't
in it. 1t was a case Of give and
take up to noon, when the rain
drops ceased to patter and the day
was won by the RIOTERS.
But had we suspicioned what
Farmer Works band OF pirates had
prepared for us, we would have got
ten down on our knees and prayed
all day for the little.drops OF water
to continue their good work. OF
course, it wouldn't have helped the
financial end Of the club one bit,
but just think what 1t would have
prevented.
A complete shut-out. And who
did it but Kaymer, the man who
seemed too slow for San Antonio.
but he was anything but slow yes
terday and had the Missionaries at
his mercy. Farmer Work needed
a pitcher, having traded Eddie
Feehan to Austin for st. Clair. He
took Kaymer on trial. 1t was
never once suspected that Kaymer
could pitch, or he would have been
given a job on the San Antonio
team, for we need pitchers more
than anything else. Kaymer did
not make good impression on the
San Antonio games from the first
day he played here. He seemed to
talk a great deal and do very little.
He claimed he hurt his leg in the
second Austin game here and
worked the ore leg racket eve
since. AS we couldn't afford to
carry cripples on the team, Carson
released him.
And yesterday Ksymer got his
revenge. He pitched for Galveston
and only six times did we hit him
out OF reach Of the fielders. He
sped the little ball over like a shot.
"He'll wear out before the third
inning" remarked Captain Cox, in
the first inning, after he had hit to
third base and forced Graney at
second, retiring the side. But as
the game went on, Kaymer's speed
increased. 1t was revenge for Kay
mer, and he was determined to get
it, IL it was the last game Of his
life. He worked nobly, but the
San Antonio rooters don't think
so.
Hoffman, who also pitched the
fatal game against Houston, was
on the slab for San Antonio, but
had to be taken out after the
first inning. In this in
ming he gave the visitors a
base on balls and four
hits, allowing four runs, three Of
which were earned. That was a
starter for the visitors, and a good
start is half Of the game.
Cox then went in to "sling" and
the crowd Of twelve hundred shout
ed for "Cy" Mulkey. "Old Cy" was
there and was willing to go in, but
Carson wanted him for today,
when the team opens with Houston.
Cox lasted three innings, in which
time the visitors made seven hits,
including two home runs and a
double, giving them seven runs.
Cox then went to second and Lem
mon to third, while Abbott was the
'slinger." He pitched the last four
innings. Abbott has an arm like
steel and put the pullet over with
all kinds Of speed and curves. He
was the best OF the lot, and the visi.
tors only made three hits of him.
They scored one run while Abbott
pitched, and that was on a wild
throw Of Hughes to second to catch
Badger.
Galveston made a dozen runs,
while San Antonio was presented
with nine fully developed goose
eggs. And Kaymer did 1t all.
