 "Neither will I, ;" he said. as he took the cup she handed him. T think few women can stand the severe test of the card table, where character is shown more plainly than any other place in the world"

AFTER A HARD STRUGGLE.
The Panthers Won the Last Game
From the Bronchos.

The Panthers Won the Last Game
From the Bronchos.
! Although the score does not say so.
il was Bulgers error in the ninth in
ming that lost the game to the Pan,
theirs yesterday The fielder was di-
rectly in front of the ball and should
have stopped it instead of allowing a
man to score.
1t was a splendid game, neverthe-
less, and was witnessed by the largest
weekday crowd of the season. AL
though the score would look nicer in
San Antonio's balance, no one left the
ball park dissatisfied. Everybody got
his moneys worth.
The Panthers opened the batteries
on "Old Bones" in the first inning, and
unless he struck them out they ever
lastingly drove the little ball past the
tielders. Parvin is undoubtedly the
most scientific pitcher that ever walk
ed on a Texas League diamond, and
he often strikes out the best batters
with the greatest ease, and many
times at critical stages of the game.
He is up to all the tricks of the game,
besides many of his own. His delive-
ry is very deceptive and he has often
caught some of the best base runners
when they were not looking for it.
Yesterday, however. Fort Worth hit
him at the right time and earned four
of her runs.
The visitors scored in the first in
mig and the locals scored twice in the
second, making it 81, until the
fourth, when we scored again. Fort
Worth also scored that inning. max
ing it 80 for San Antonio. In the
fifth both teams scored again, MAX
ing it 4-3. The visitors tied in the
eight and won in the ninth.
Young Isaacs, of the visitors, start
ed in wild, but soon steadied down.
He was hit often, but not safely,
Griffin, Miller, Bulger and Often fail
ing to get even one hit off him. Their
batting was very weak Kleeman, al
so, did not show up so well at the bat
as usual. But Parvin surprised the
natives by making three hits, one a
double, and bringing in three runs.
About 400 people paid admission to
the game and fully 200 saw the game
from over the fence. Among the fence
brigade were many men, and the dis
play of their economical spirit was
not regarded proper by the grand
ISLANDERS. One gentleman offered fif-
ty cents for the names of the people
around the fence. He wanted the list
for publication.
Yesterdays Texas League games re-
suited as follows:
At San Antonio-Fort Worth ), San
Antonio 4.
At Austin-Austin II, Dallas 4.
At Houston-HOuston 8, Denison 8.

Blum returned from Tyler this
morning, where he had been ''root-

the Santoue boys stand a good
chance for second money, and
could have been sure winner of
first place, but for a company
error. When brought up in front OF
the grand stand the audience was
so boisterously loud in their ap-
plause the men could not hear the
command, and went all to pieces.
The captain rallied his company
and went through the program, it
is thought, without an error.
Barring the one bad break. Mr..
Blum thinks the drill the best he
has ever seen the Belknaps put up.
