Frank Parvin, the homeless wonder,
presided over the destinies OF the
Broncho herd at San Pedro park yes
terday afternoon. in consequence of
which Yewst'n won her first game in
San Antonio.
Swooping down upon this land of
the hot tamale and brass buttons came
a flock of wingless Innocents, some
time known as Buffalos-but very tame
ones-and actually snatched a game
from the jaws of San Antonio and
Jack Brennan-yes, Jack Brennan,
that highway robber, who is always
holding up and knocking down a herd
of Buffalos with some baseball club.
Anyway, Charlie Shaffer and his old
fashioned team of antiquated ball
players won a game in San Antonio.
They won because they happened to
play better ball than the Bronchos,
but how they ever did it is a mystery
unless Frank Weikart has stopped to
observe how the O'Connorian article
is put up and gave Shaffer few lines
on Broncho ball, which only differs
from other varieties in that it comes
in separate boxes wrapped in tin
foil, warranted to keep in any climate.
That's Broncho ball, as put up by
Mike O'Connor.
Occasionally Boneless Parvin's dex-
terity betrays his Bronchorian instinct
and he can't help but win. So it was
yesterday. He had O'Connor's herd
corralled and while Business Manager
Charlie Weber was quite himself, the
Missourian wonder was in the way.

Nashville, where, in company with thou
