large institutions and men of

Only one of these is to count in
the new series and both sides
claim the game. There is an I'M
written law in baseball that a
championship game cannot be
played after an exhibition game,
and as the Bronchos won the first
game San Antonio ought to be
credited with two games won in
the new series.
The Bronchos are now at home

Killed By a Fall.

Mrs. Ida Scott, a colored woman
from Victoria, who was here on q
visit to DR.. G.. J. Starnes' family,
died Saturday night from the
effects of a fractured skull received
an hour before by a fall In jump
ing of River avenue street car
while 1t was in rapid motion.
Quite panic was caused at the
time she jumped, among the large
party of colored people on the car,
who were returning from the cele-
bration at Limburger's garden, by
torpedoes exploding on the track.
These had been placed there prob
ably by mischief-loving boys, as a
Fourth of July prank, and when
they exploded, somebody yelled
dynamite % and the panic ensued.
The authorities are making an
investigation, and may arrest the
guilty parties today.

OPENED WITH VICTORY.
The Bronchos Defeated the Senators in
the First Game.

The Bronchos Defeated the Senators in
the First Game.
Yesterdays ball ga me served
one good purpose. 1t convinced
about 500 San Antonio baseball
cranks-and there are some awf ul
cranky ones-that we have good
team. Everybody who left River
side park yesterday talked base
ball. 1t was the zone subject on
the cars to town, on the streets,
and even at the supper table
base-hits and errors were dis
cussde.
Bulger's phenomenal work in
left field came in for large share
OF the comment. His work was
truly sensational. He pulled in
two flies which seemed impossible
for a man without wings.
But there were others. Gri fin
and Kleeman played their usual
star game, although they had no
chance to make circus catches.
Hon. Copeland, who has been
Especially engaged at an enormous
salary" to announce the greatest
show on earth," in a graceful but
ungrammatical manner, had the
pleasure of introducing" to the
people of San Antonio two new
faces-Mr. Mclaughlin, who off,
ciated as umpire, and Mr.. Herman,
who presided at second. cit was
with regret" that he announced
that Catcher Often would not be
able to play, but that Mr.. Miller
would fill his place. Mr.. Copeland,
however, forgot one thing. He
forgot to state that Herbert would
pitch instead of Dwyer, as was ex-
pected. This was for the reason
that Mr.. Herman had no uniform,
and Dryer had to sacrifice his for
Kiernan's street dress. Mr..
Herman made a favorable
impression, getting three hits
out of four times at bat, scor-
ing two runs and accepting eight
out OF nine chances.
The opposing team was the Sena-
tors from Hoggtown and they pre-
sented "Brownie" Chamberlain as
the deceiver. The Bronchos start
ed In on him with four hits and
seven rune, extracting all the gin
ger from the visitors from DAM
town.
1t was lucky that San Antonio
got these runs, for they needed
them and few more to win. Red
Herbert was on the slab, and he is
liable to throw the ball over the
grand stand any moment. II
seems impossible, but in the
eighth inning, with the score Ia to
l for Santone, Herbert forced in
five runs with bases on balls, the
visiting team making seven runs
that inning. Thirteen Senators
"walked" on Herbert yesterday
and, as q rooter remarked, he
ought to divide his salary with
the other eight men for
winning the game for him. Her
bert certainly does not deserve any
credit.
| The crowd was not as large as
was expected, but the threatening
weather undoubtedly kept many
people away. It was an enthusi.
astic assemblage and hoarse
Threats were plentiful after the
game.
