San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-05-13

Everything is good for something in
Eddie Green's political ideas may not
be the proper caper, but there is moth
ing the matter with the Paris Green
aggregation of ball talent. If there
was they never would have beaten the
Galveston Sand Crabs yesterday. They
got at Happy Jack Huston's gang over
on the Sandy Isle and had the Cres-
cen city lads crew a-going. Huston
changed his left fielders and right
fielders, but still the Parasites stayed
with them, and the Sand Crabs con-
tinued to gather the little errors on
the beach, while the Partisan pebbles
got the runs.
Now here's where we come in.
McCloskey's constellation of all-star
Defenders of Dallas made their second
attempt to take fall out of the Bron-
chos, but it was like going against a
buzz saw in motion, for our noble herd
tore them all to pieces. George Black
burn essayed to pitch, but he only
pitched the first inning. After that
the BrOnchos hit him whenever and
whenever they pleased. 1t was a case
of au revoir, but not farewell, every
time the big Blackburn and the little
white ball parted, for it was not known
when they would ever meet again.
"Oh, We'll make you hustle when we
get you to Dallas!" shouted Napoleon
Mac. That's the way to talk, Mac.
Make us hustle. We want to hustle.
That's what we're here for. But you
can't make it too hot for the Bronchos
old sport. It's not a streak of luck,
but their regular old game that they
have put up ever since Mike O'Connor
got them together.
The only difference between then and
now is that those proclaimed weaklings
at the bat like Bailey and Bill Kohn-
lie have got their eyes on the ball, and
such stiffs as Win Clark are playing
the game. But those are only tickle
notions which baseball cranks are af-
flicted with. They don't cut any ice.
That boy, Tom Hayes, pitched a real
Rusie game. He put them over and
those Defenders had to hit the ball or
strike out. They were as hopeless as
prohibition convention in San Anto-
Mo. For seven innings they had to feel
content with but one hit, which was
made by Harrison Peppers in the
fourth and was a drive over right field
fence. This also gave them their
first run and the only one up to the
eighth inning. After that Hayes let
them hit a few and they scored three
runs in the last two innings.
For San Antonio it was all hits and
runs. We began in the second with
doubles by Hayes and Kohnle and in
the third Clark and Hayes got singles
and Bailey a double. In the fourth
Weber singled and in the fifth Lou"
Knau got a homer, while Bailey and
Hayes both got safeties. In the sixth
Clark hit for a base and in the eighth
Clark made his third hit of the day.
This afternoon Gus. Wehing. the ex-
Brooklyn Bridegroom pitches for the
| Defenders and George fitzpatrick for
the BronchOs.
| Tomorrow we have Wards Wonders
of Fort Worth which held the lead for
a while. Dallas goes to Austin, Paris
plays at Houston and DenisOn-Sher-
man at Galveston.
Tableaux-Hats off to O'ConnOr's
Bronchos. The first champion team
that San Antonio has ever had the
honor of calling ours" The boys de-
serve credit from the people of San An
tonic, and there is no better way Of
approaching their efforts than to swell
the gate receipts. They don't want
any banquets, or wine suppers or any
brass bands or bricks, as the case may
be, but they want what's coming to
them, and nothing more.
The ladies of San Antonio will be
pleased to learn that Messrs. O'Connor
& Weber. have decided to set Friday
aside as Ladies Day." when ladies
will be admitted to the grounds and
grand stand free ofcharge.
