Fort Worth at Waco.
| Dallas at Paris.
Intermingled with eight hits ant
seven strike-outs the Bronchos wer
dead easy for the Crustaceans of tn
Pirate Isle yesterday. Nobody les
than the. invincible Jack Roach presid
| ed for Galveston, and the Broncho
hopelessly failed to getatem, and wha
is more his support was right up t
| the handle. Charley Weber was on thu
slab for the locals, and while his com
rades did not extend the most encour
| aging support, it was not due to hi:
pitching nor to our fielding that we die
| not win.
Roach-that's the boy. He worked
| like Turk and the Bronchos reached
| for him like a Morton Cadet tackling g
| tamale.
And they touched him NIT.
And he. grinned.
And the Bronchos looked puzzled.
And the Galveston contingent root.

And Cox yelled Hit the ball."
Then there was a sudden comma
ton in the grand stand. 1t wasn't a
foul ball and it wasn't a fight. The
rub was just because a gentleman
happened to be attired in up-to-date
style and it's a doughnut to a foul tiI
that it was a case of sour grapes just
because he set the pace for some of the
backnumbers as to the proper way to
dress.
The excitement in the grand stand
subdued, everybody was back in the
game. IT.
Galveston started off with two runs
on scratchy hits. Klopf got a two
Dagger on a fly to Kohnleburg, which
Willie misjudged in the silvery clouded
sky. Huston beat out a sacrifice. Tur-
ner singled and KIopf scored. Turner
came in on Knau's wild throw to STAN
ley of Tommie Hess hit.
That was the opening. In the first
half of the second the Bronchos scored
their first run on Knau's double and a
stolen base, scoring on Kohnle's hit.
In the third Galveston scored two
runs on a base on balls and Kid
Nance's drive over left field fence
Score, Al for Galveston. The visitors
made another tally on Valdois' error
and Becker's hit.
In the seventh the Bronchos got ac-
quainted with Mr.. Roach and touched
him up for three hits, giving them as
many runs. Weber reached first on
| Klopfs error, and Keefe followed with
a hit. Both came in on Bailey's drive
to centre for two bases, while "the
King" scored on Knau's hit.
The Sand Crabs scored again in their
seventh while Roach retired the Bron-
chos the last two inning with but one
| hit.
1t was altogether a pretty game and
both sides played fast. While "Red
| Herbert got three errors on first base
this did not lose the game. The Bron.
chos were at the mercy of Jack Roach
and with his excellent support the Sand
Crabs had no trouble in winning.
Mike O'Connor was in the game ant
covered second base.
Mascot Grip" had on a brand new
uniform. 1t is not exactly of the reg
ulatiOn color and Umpire Brennan
threatened to have it ruled out.
Your Uncle Mike and La Looie Knal
executed a clever brother act in tn,
eighth inning. Tom Turner drove
hot one down to Mike. 1t hit O'Con
nor's shin and caromed over to Knau
who forced Klopf at second. Mike get
an assist all the same,
While the Bronchos couldn't hit SAT
they batted in hard luck. Knau hi
two high flies over the fence, whicl
were going between center and lef
fields, but the wind carried them full,
hundred feet nutil they fell fou,
Then Herbert and Bailey each cracke
hit to shortstop which would hav
been hits foot on either side of tn
fielder.
Jack Brennan had a number of clos
decisions, but he was always in pos
ton where he could see them best an
this left no room for kicking.
George Dermody, manager of til
Sand Crabs, who is here with the So
ley rifles, attending the drill, saw til
game from the players bench. Georg
is proud of the Sand Crabs, and ha
just reason to be so, for they are play
ing Broncho ball now. The Sand Crab
are going to win the second serie
There is nothing to hinder then
Closing here tomorrow afternoon, the

ty-one games. Their pitchers are a

pie on the team, supreme harmony prt
