LOST THE LAST.
Galveston Won an Interesting Game
After Hard Struggle.

L
After feasting two days on
Sand Crabs, the Bronchos were
! defeated yesterday by q score OF
s to Z. Up to the fourth inning
Parvin was an enigma to
the visitors aud struck out four
men Of the nine that faced him the
first three innings, the visitors
being retired before reaching first
base.
In the fourth the Sand Crabs got
onto "Old Bones" like q man fall
ing off a house. They connected
five times safely, and with the aid
of Kleeman's kindness, three Sand
Grabs crawled over the plate that
inning. Two Bronchos had tailed
and the figures read 81 for Gal
weston until "Old Bones" smote
the spheroid for a double and tied
the score. In the sixth the locals
passed the visitors, and in the
seventh and eighth they scored
agsin, making iJ 6-3 for San An
tonic. The big crowd was wild
with JOY.
1t was q thing OF beauty. But
sorrow followed in the visitors
eighth, when the score was
tied on Kiernsn's wild throw
to Elsey, three hits and Law
rence's tumble OF Gates hit.
The Bronchos had another
chance, and in their last inning,
Miller hit safely, was advanced on
Bulger's hit to frst and came over
to plate on Kiernan's drive past
second. Another scene OF joy fol.

becker's sacrifice. Both scored on
HOOver's drive over Lawrence's
head. The game was ended and
Galveston won.
1t was q stubborn contest, and
any body's game to the last in
ming. While the rooters would be
better pleased to have the score on
our side, no one has reason to CON-
plain OF not having received the
vaiue of his money.
Umpire Mclaughlin made Q
rank decision in the eighth in
ming, when San Antonio would
have very likely scored another
run. He called Kleeman out at
third base, for which he was
roundly Missed and jeered by the
spectators.
The crowd was too large for the
park. All the seating capacity was
used up and many could not find
room to stand. People crowded
the playing grounds, which was
very inc0nvenient for the players,
who failed to get several balls on
that account. IL is hoped that the
seating capacity will be enlarged
by the time the team returna. The
diamond and outfield are also in
horrible condition, making good
fielding impossible. This, also,
ought to be attended to.
