Absent, but not forgotten. Frank
Graney, George Reese and Charlie Abb
bolt, who used to fight booze in the
days of the Observation-Disclosures the
Bronchos were discovered-are still in
the game, and according to reports,
are up in the pictures. They are play
ing in a new organization known as
the Arkansas league and are with the
Little Rock team. Reese is batting at
40S and Graney at 402. Other players
with the Little Rock team are Frank
Quigg, lately with Dallas; Harry st.
Clair with Austin and Galveston, in
'95, and Jerry Eddinger, who played
with the San Antonio league team in
'SS and is well remembered. Pete
Weckbecker is managing the Fort
Smith team in this league. This was
the league that Chiles, Kemmer and
others wanted to finish the season in
after deserving the Texas association,
but they were prevented by the prompt
action of President Heuermann, and
the prospects, are that the deserters
will never play ball in a league again.
President Heuermann is determined to
make an example of these fellows.
Leo Mesmer is reported having sign
ed with Burlington, Ia, after jumping |
Austin. Here's another case that
ought to be sifted, and President Heu- |
ermann will not let it pass without |
giving it due attention.
The funeral of the late Charles Carl |
takes place tomorrow morning at 10 |
o'clock from Sheern & Burnett's par
lors. The members of the Fort Worth |
and San Antonio baseball teams will /
attend in body.
The directors of the Austin Baseball

day and decided to call meeting of

ested in baseball, this morning to make
a full statement of the affairs OF the
,lub financially, and to decide as to the
advisability of trying to run the club
