HOUSTON A. SAN ANTONIO !.

The Houston baseball team did not get
into the game until the last inning yestcr-
day. and then they commenced using the
stick ard running bases, hut the game
was TOO far gone AT that time for them to
do ANYTHING White the error column
docs not show up unfavorably for tho
Bunalocs. IL Is because they did not so
after the sphere as they usually do and
some of the base running was inexcusable
and stupid The work In the neld was
of the dumb order, and to this Is due the
victory of the visitors. ~ is true they
could nor sion the home run hit by stan
ley nor some OF the long hi's by oihcrS'
but With quicker work IN the helh tleN
uu-ht have cut off some OF Tie scores
Slaglc'S Wild throw IN the thrd Was a
disaster. and II Is hard to understand how
he could toss the sphere into the hitdNh-
crs when intending To thrown To Jacobs.
