tin and San Antonio 0, and it was
that way up to the third inning. You
know how we San Antonio rooters felt
at that time. Our boys were driving
! the ball up against the fielders and we
went out in quick order. In the third
is where We opened up. Little Looie
knau took his first turn at the bat for
the afternoon. Looie had been hitting
weak of late, and yesterday his luck
changed He lit on to the first nice
one that came for the plate and drove
1t through the infield like bullet He
was forced at second by O'Connor's
hit to third. Stanley was given first
on balls and Bill Kohnle was UP. He
singled to right and OConnor was
the first-Broncho to cross the rubber
Then Winfield Clark hit down to third
base, which whispered to Leo Mesmer,
Just tell them that You saw, but don't
you touch me-" Stanley and Kohnle
came in on the drive and Clark was
caught stealing second, while Weber
retired the side by trying to repeat
Clark's act, but Mesmer fielded this
ball and threw Charley out at first.
The score was 80 for San Antonio.
The Austin forces still had hope and
eheered as Justify as in the beginning,
while the few San Antonians jollied
! them along good naturally. Austin
was shut out in her half of the fourth
and our boys scored three more runs

Did We get back at them? Nav.
They asked us to "holler," but we only
told them that such little things don't
excite us and that they happened over
in San Antonio nearly every day. oh,
but they were sore.
pity 'em, but they'll have to get used
to it.
What attracted the Light represent
tative to Austin, was the fact that
Fred Valdois, our new third baseman,
was to make his first appearance with
the team. He arrived at Austin last
Friday and had been waiting there to
join the boys. Well, he played. He
was on third and right In the game.
That boy is a natural born ball player
His work in the field could not be i'm
proved upon. He has a good arm and
the balls go over to Mike on first on a
bee line. He is active on his feet and
is one of the fastest men on the team
to reach first base. He is an easy, free
hitter and has nice position at the
bat
Win Clark played second base like
veteran and his double play from
Weber to Mike in the second inning
was of lightning order. A slow man
couldn't have made that particular
play
Shortstop Knau accepted all of eight
chances One was a catch of a foul
fly after hard run, another an assist
to O'Connor on slow hit ball and the
others were equally hard chances.
AS for the rest Of the team, they all
played their usual good game. Bailey
dropped two difficult fly hits, but
neither was costly.
Mike O'Connor is going to object to
Jack Phelan as an umpire in the, San
Antonio series. 1t is hoped that Phe-
Ian will not be transferred to San An
tonic. 1t will only cause trouble
George Gilpatrick, after quite rest,
may pitch today. His arm has been
sore.
