No SHOW At ALL.
The Game on Friday Was an
Unlnteresting One Indeed.
GREAT INDIFFERENCE SHOWN.
The Little Rock Team Had a Pudding
in Dong Our Team.

Inc Little ROCK Team Had Pudding
in Dong Our Team,
A tolerably fair crowd assembled
Friday at the ball grounds, to see
the second game played between
the Little Rock team and our To-
Gals There was no betting going
on OF any consequence-on that
the TeXarkana players would not
reach first base, when they came ia
possession of the "willow," and the
men who staked their oney on this
proposition won three bets where
they lost one, or somewhere in that
proportion.
The club now organized and play
ing as a TeXarkana team, is weak
They have been weighed and
found wanting" altergiving them
showing The people pay their
money to see ball game ana they
will not patroUiae a game where a
dead sure thing to call TIE turn as
to which club Is to win before they
see the game start
On Friday our club let Little
Rock play with them like they were
puppets and all the rooters in the
kingdom could not have enthused
life into them There Is only one
logical conclusion 10 come to-that
the club Is not composed Of ball
players but a lot Of substitutes
from other teams, They are good
amatuers and this is the best we
can say for them, We believe they
are playing honest ball as best they
know how and we do not fall out
with them for getting beat, but
we think they should 90 aud serve
some more on some home nine aud
chase the ball over the field for the
lun In 1t and not try to turn
what little they know into profit
We are told some Of the members
Of the club are good and If such Is
true we ask the manager TO sort
them out hire others TO go with
them and give US good ball games,
The score by innings Friday was as

TnE Last or rllg SERIES,
Yesterday afternoon the Mobiles
met the InylneIble again and were
defeated badly
The first part Of the game was Il
beautiful one aud the home team
made some plays that could not be
improved upon, 40 also did the ylsls
tors, but the locals had their line
broken and let the visitors make
three runs In the fourth, The 10.
Gals held them down for two In
nlnga and our "rooters' thought
that there WAS some chance to win
and they eheefed the whole team
with all their might, although they
had made some inexeusable errors
along the line, but when the Llltlc
Rock boys made five runs In the
seventh aud stlll our team had pill
ed MP no runs, he footefa turned
on the home team and roasted them
At every turn These Ia one thing
