BASEBALL.

Shaffer Up To His Old Tricks And
Put Out OF The Game.
A fond father sets his pet boy up as
the best of the neighborhood. His
son is never guilty of any wrongdoing
and it is always the neighbors' boys
that are leading him into trouble.
Mr.. Shaffer is imbued with the idea
that his Houston players are little an
gels. They are badly treated where
ever they go, and Mr.. Shaffer has
threatened to take them home. When
ever something is the matter with the
Houston pets they call for Papa
Shaffer, who readily responds with a
waving hand and a free tongue. All
must be silent when Papa Shaffer ap-
pears, until he has ascertained what
wrong has been inflicted upon his
boys.
When Umpire Clark ordered Becker
and Shaffer removed from the field
yesterday he did the proper thing
The Houston team is in the habit of
rushing at the umpire on every close
decision that is not made in their IA
vor. Yesterday Becker was called out
at third, when he was caught three
lttI lIOlu tue DdSs IL 10 otShcl .
first season out" and like so many Of
that kind, he has yet a great deal to
learn. Becker made an offensive re-
mark to the umpire, and the latter
promptly put him out of the game.
All of the Houston team wildly rushed
at the umpire and Mr.Shaffer paced up
and down like a crazy man. Umpire
Clark also ordered him out of the
game, and as Houston had only eight
players left he gave the game to San
Antonio by a score of 9 to 0.
1t was the seventh inning and the
score was to in favor of San An
tonic. Nevin was pitching fine ball,
while the Bronchos were hitting Nc
Cormick harder every inning.
Houston had no cause, whatever,
to complain Of Mr.. Clark's decisions.
He was very impartial and if anything
gave Houston the benefit of several
decisions.
President Heuermann last night or
dered Umpire Clark to Austin and
Billy York will officiate in the second
game of the Houston-San Antonio Sc
ries today. This was done at the re.
quest Of the Austin people, who were
not satisfied with York's work.
Galveston knocked Crowen out of
the box at the start yesterday and de-
feated Austin by a score of Is to 3.
Buck Miller pitched a while for the
Senators and then went behind the
bat and Heydon pitched.

THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
Hetty's Son For Republican State
Chairman.

Hetty's Son For Republican State
Chairman.
Translated for the Light, from the
Freie Presse fuer Texas, Aug. 9th.
"Strong influences are brought to
bear to make Mr.. e. II. r. Green
chairman of the state Republican ex-
ecutive committee. Whatever may
have been the services of the young
man that should entitle him to such an
honorable and responsible position is
unknown to us, and we think it would
be both difficult and embarrassing to
his supporters if called upon, to name
them.
Mr.. Green has the name of being
president of the Texas Midland
route" a railroad on paper only, which
his mother at one time planned to
build with her millions"
He came to the st. Louis convention
as a cOntesting delegate of the 9th
congressional district but his oppon-
ent, Mccormick, was recognized and
seated instead. RumOr had it at the
time that Green would have given
S25, 1000 for a seat as a delegate in the
convention. However, whether Green
has spread this report himself, or
whether it came from his friends, it
is noteworthy for the manner in which
he spent his money to eventually salts
fy his inordinate ambition.
Now, is it the wealth of Mr.. Green
that comes into play, when his name
is brought forward in connection with
the responsible position as chairman
of the Republican state executive
committee or are there other, up to
date undiscovered qualifications?
1t is claimed and said that "Cuney"
was interesting himself for Mr.. Green,
and that he showed an inclination to
make peace and re-establish harmony
among and between the different fac
tons of the party by advocating Mr..
Green as chairman. This circum-
stance alone looks suspicious.
So many queer things take place
in the Republican party of the State
of Texas, political irresponsibility and
dishonesty go publicly hand in hand
and play their successful parts, that
finally there is nothing to be wondered
at.
But, Mr.. Green as chairman of the
Republican state executive committee
is somewhat strong medicine-We
make the proposition to knock the po-
sition down to the highest bidder.

USED A C0WHIDE.
Railroad Superintendent Whipped by a
Conductor.


CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. 90
Superintendent P. T. Wells, of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
railway, was cowhided here Thurs
day afternoon about 3 o'clock by
Chas. G. Hoffman, q well-known
freight conductor of the same line.
Hoffman had been told that
Wells had said that he and the
ticket agent at Fort Mill, s. c.,
wanted to whack up on tickets, the
latter selling the tickets and the
former not punching them.
Wells, with several other super
intendents Of divisions, and Gen.
eral Manager Green came to Char
lotte to conduct a railroad exami-
nation. About 3 o'clock, while the
examination was going on, Hoff-
man entered the room, and after
cursing Wells roundly, struck him
twice across the face with a cow
hide and then slapped him in the
face.
Wells did not rice from his chair,
nor did he say anything but deny
having made the accusation
against Hoffman. The railroad
men present pulled Hoffman off
Wells. Talk is rifle amongst the
railroad men of the affair. Hoff-
man has been freight conductor
on the road for six years. This Is
the first trouble he has been in
with his employers.
