THE BRoNCHos WIN.
They Made Enough Runs in Two In
nings to Beat Houston.

Yesterdays exhibition at San
Antonio park, which will have to
be recorded as a baseball game,
was well enough to look at by a
man who wore cracked ice in his
hat.
Signor Michaelino de Lorenzo
presented the peerless Parvin,
while Mr.. Roach presided for Herr
Won Schaffer's Houston aggrega-
ton of kickers.
In the first inning signs of big
score were noticeable on the hori-
zon. BUSY Kleeman, found the
visitors weakness and pushed a
slow one down the third base line,
which Herr Jacobs failed to do
business with. The mighty crowd
cheered and Herr SchafTer
laughed. He knew that every
ball player makes errors and
Jacobs "cheered up" and got back
into the game.
But what followed? Griffin drove
one down to Schaffer,, for which
the latter was waiting with big
mitt and free hand. The ball
got away and Griffin was safely
perched on first, while Kleemsn
moved down a. peg. Then Mike
caused Jacobs to make his second
error. With the corners full Elsey
picked out stick, swallowed his
Adams apple three times, made
three terrific swipes at the ball
and hasn't touched it yet.
1t was for Buck Miller to bring
in a couple of Bronchos. He
swatted one through the diamond
that was so rapid that kodak had
TO work overtime to catch it. Bull
ger went out from Reed to Shaffer,
Often, Herman and Parvin kept
up the fun and brought in two
more runs on safe drives. The in
ming closed with a brilliant catch
by Herr Schlagel in the middle
garden. All hands had been up
and Kleeman was up for the second
round. He pasted line hit to
center, which the fielder pulled
down by sticking his finger nail
into loose stitch just as the ball
was about to pass him.
The visitors scored their first
run in the second inning on Grit.
fms error, followed by Becker's
double.
They scored again in the sixth
on Kiernan's error OF q ball which
Parvin failed to stop. They scored
twice in the seventh on two hits
and base on balls, tieing the score.
In the ninth they scored one run
on Griffin's error and two hits.
The Bronchos did not score
again until the eighth, when, with
the game A, Herman and Klee-
man were fetched home by Law.
rencian drive.
In the sixth inning Parvin used
bad judgment in letting a slow
ball get away from him, on which
Herman made an error, giving che
visitors run. Parvin should have
fielded the ball, and as two were
out he would have retired the side.
Both Nevin and Psrvin have a
habit OF Sinking balls hit to
them, which they ought to field.
Butsy Kleeman let nice ground
er get away from him. Instead OF
meeting it on the bound, he ran
back for another bound and the
ball go5 away. Even had he
fielded the ball he could not have
caught the runner, but he could
have easily thrown him out to take
the ball on the first bound. 1t is
not necessary to "1ght" the ball,
but a little judgment ought to be
exercised regarding the course OF
the ball.
Brophey's work as an umpire is
very coarse. He never moves out
o, his tracks on q ball hit along
the line and some of his decisions
are awful.
Ladies attend the games in large
numbers every day and take great
interest in the game. The ladies'
section Of the grand stand was
completely filled yesterday and
part of the gentlemen's section
had to be utilized.
