out in this city and 1900 more

NEvIN WAS MARX.
After Mccormick Steadied Down the
Bronchos Couldn't Touch Him.

After Mccormick Steadied Down the
Bronchos Couldn't Touch Him.
Old Bill Mccormick, whom the
Bronchos drove out of the game
he last time the Buffaloes played
here, got revenge yesterday. Sir
Timothy Nevin, the invincible,
was dead easy for Houston. They
hit Sir Timothy regularly through
out the game while the locals
couldn't touch Mccormick, with
the exception OF the third inning,
when they got five hits, two of
which were very doubtful.
That Is sufficient for yesterdays
defeat, but no reason that the score
should be IL to 5.
The Bronchos did not play with
the life and spirit that has made
them so popular lately. Either
that days rest knocked them out
or they caught that tired feeling
from Dallas. Their playing at
times would have put a country
amateur nine to shame. ElSey
made the first break. In the third
inning, when the locals scored four
runs and had Houston a.going, Ell
sey was caught at the plate by bad
coaching, which has lost so many
games for San Antonio. In that
inning Elsey also made q bad play
on first, which gave the visitors
fresh start. Griffin let a nice
slow ball get away from him
at short by allowing the runner to
get between him and the ball.
This popular little player is also
falling of In his running. In the
fifth inning Miller was caught in
q summer dream on first base and
retired the side with "a man on
second.
But for these dumb plays, the
score would have been different.
No one knew when the locals
would fall onto Mccormick, for it
was likely to happen at any time.
The visitors were lucky to get out
of it as we'll as they did, and more
thsn once the Bronchos had them
scared up.
1t was an exciting game up to
the seventh inning, and the large
crowd present, including many
Houston rooters, were kept in a
uproar. The score was
20 for Houston until the third
inning, when San Antonio made
four, the score AZ for San Antonio. |
Then the visitors made four,
it Ga, and the locals made
one in the fifth, the score being 6-5
for Houston, who made another,
raising the score rs. The locals
failed to score again, while Hous-
ton got in four runs the last two
innings.
An unpleasant feature OF the
game was Skaters incessant kick |
ing and Umpire Brophey would
have been justified to remove this
player from the game. Brophey is
too slow for the players who work
him on every little trick of the
game. He ought to put one or two
on the bench every day and they
would soon learn to behave.
District Clerk Nat Lewis, who is
about to become q member of the
Ancient Order OF United Rooters,
shouted for Houston, not because
he wanted to see them win, but
because he saw that the Houston
team was outclassed, and he let his
sympathetic feelings get the best
of him.

The Family history OF the house of Van

1t is court gossip that the Princess Of
