Oh the Scneuule1 tlldt the brOncnOS
are not going to win this season, and
attention. may be called to this fact
now in order to avoid any disappoint-
ments that may arise. 1t often hap
pens that baseball victory is turned
into defeat in the twin Killing of an eye,
and this is intended TO caution the
rooters to prepare for any emergency.
The Bronchos are going to be beaten
this year just like any other year.
Some day we will go against a club
that will wallop the earth with us,
Notwithstanding the fact that we may
have beaten that team the preceding
day. Therefore. don't dishearten, and
say it is the same thing over again.
Don't let the enthusiasm of victory
run away with you, but be prepared
to take defeat even the very next day.
Because the teams may win few
games, don't say you will never go to
another game until our boys win.
Every team is going to win and lose
games, some will win more than 9th
ers, but that is no reason that the los
ing team is rotten, or that the players
are drunk. Remember that there
are seven other teams in the league
besides the Bronchos, and that they
are going to play as hard as we TO
win. The roOterS of the other cities
want to see their boys win as much
as we want to see our boys win. De-
feat is one of the bitter pills a base
ball rOOter must learn to swallow.
The umpires have given their meas
ures for uniforms. which will be ma
w blue. They will be made by San
Antonio tailoring firm. which was the
lowest bidder. there being bidders
from all over the state for the job.
Red" Rigsby will have personal
charge of the International special to
Austin next Sunday. The train
leaves here at GAO in the morning
and returning leaves Austin at
7:3O in the evening, giving
Il good look at the Capital City
and also to attend the ball game. Be-
sides the special train, the regular
train will run as usual, leaving here
at $50 a. M. and arriving from Aus
tin ut 7:15 p. m.
President Heuermann has cOmplet-
ed his staff of umpires in the selection
of Allison Jack. who was an umpire
in the Texas league in 1872.

In the humble opinion of the base
ball editor of the Register the teams
as they appear on paper at pres
ent should finish the season very
nearly as follows: Sherman-DeniSon,
San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Gal
weston. Paris Fort Worth, Austin. -
Sherman Register.
In hitting. fielding and baserunning,
the BrOnchos will compare with any
team in the league. either individually
or collectively. A little uneaSineSS,
however, is felt in the pitchers. 1t is
conceded that Dallas has the star trio
in Blackburn. Peppers and weighing.
In Frank Quigg and George BristOw
with McGinnis to help out. Weckbeck-
er is contented, while Houston has
good team behind Kimerer, CrOwell
and Hardy. Galveston has two good
men in Parvin and Carl, while Paris
SELECTIONS are unknown qualities. Col
lltIOWer and Drinkwater are two good
men for Austin, and Weikart seems
to think a great deal of Partridge.
Fort Worth has Brownie Chamberlain
and 81 AIulkey on it's list and although
they have played with the MisSiOnar-
les they know enough to come in when
the umpire says you're out" AS for
San Antonio. Fitzpatrick is all right,
Herbert seems to be improving, and it
is hoped that Hays and Harlow will
come up to expectations.
The Houston team will be uniformed
on the streets as well as on the ball
field.
The uniforms of the DenisOn-Sher-
man team are cream colOred, with ma
room belts, caps and stockings.
The baseball season is again
upon us. and the question arises shall
Luling have a ball team this year?
Some of the old players avOw that
they will not play this season, but the
Signal believes that plenty of good
timber is available to make a strong
team. Let us have a baseball club"

limit.
