BASEBALL.
The Bronohos Played Good Ball Yesterday
and Won.

The Bronohos Played Good Ball Yesterday
and Won.
Was 1t the change of manage.
ment, or did the Bronchos take q
notion to play ball. They certain
ly put up a snappy game yester-
day. Their hitting was more
timely than usual. 1t was all
done in the second, third and
fourth inning when they scored
all their runs by punching their
hits, making ten hits, including
three doubles during that time.
After that Wellner steadied down,
and only one hit was made off him
the balance of the game, and that
was by Stanley in the seventh in
ming.
The Bronchos put up q beauti-
full game in the field, with the ex-
ception Of Elsey, who had three
errors at second, but none of these
were costly.
In the sixth inning the Bronchos
made a triple play, which is the
first in San Antonio, and may not
be seen again in many a day. The
play was executed by Kleeman,
Elsey, O'Connor and Stanley.
Herman and Cauliflower were on
the bases. Kleeman scooped up a
slow hit OF Wellner, forced out
Cauliflower at second, Elsey throw
ing out Wellner at first and O'Con:
nor threw to Stanley, catching
Herman at the plate after q des-
perate slide. 1t was q hair.raising
play and brought forth a volley of
cheers from the Threats of the
seven hundred. 1t didn't make
the welkin ring, but the elements
seemed to enjoy it, for just then
old nature let out Q streak of light
ming from the black clouds in the
south, and beautiful rainbow in
the southeast emblazoned that
triple play in gold letters on the
baseball page of the Alamo City's
history.
In the eighth inning Parvin was
struck in the back by a line hit
from Bailey's bat which made
dent in "Old Mizzoura." Parvin
continued to pitch, however, and
struck out two men after that.
Matt Stanley, the popular little
catcher Of the late Fort Worth
team, has made himself popular
by his hard work. The Frisco lad
has turned out many good
pitcher and to him Gear and Issacs
owe thanks for what they know.
1t is hoped that Stanley will be
found In San Antonio uniform
next season.
The Bronchos leave tonight over
the Southern Pacific for Galveston
and the Senators go to Houston.
The team will be gone all week.
