After weeks absence with split
hand Fred valdois made his reappear-
ance with the Broncho herd yesterday.
Fred, as everybody knows, belongs to
the Bronchorian quartette. He sings
third base, while Win Clark is second
base, Mike O'Connor first and Looie
Knau shortstop. The quartette was
out of tune yesterday, and their dis
cordant work at the start-off caused
a lot of unnecessary worriment to
about four hundred and thirty-nine
San Antonians. 1t was horrible. First
OConnor couldn't strike the key, then
Clark got too high for Mike-about
foot over his head-and Knau went all
to pieces.
All this happened at San Pedro park
in the second inning of the first game
with Houston in the second series of
the Texas baseball championship,
which is now on.
Yessiree, there was great deal to be
seen at the Broncho stamping grounds
yesterday. Bones Parvin showed up
about fifteen pounds more than ever,
Charlie Shaffer was there and lot of
other little things that Houston sends
over here about twice year.
But they had us reaching-yes they
did
1t took US five innings to put the first
ball out of the diamond. Parvin was
speedy, but he was wild, and although
four men had walked on him up to the
fifth none of them could score. In the
fifth Stanley took first on balls and was
advanced by Weber's single, the latter
being forced at second on Kohnle's hit,
while Matt went to third. He came in
on Clarks hit to short, which forced
Willie Kohnle. Winfred then showed
Sam Taub what slow gang he's got,
when it comes to stealing bases. He
stole two this trip and would have
sneaked home, but the side was retir-
ed. Besides Clark wanted to leave
few bases for today, and If Sam Taub
wants to keep them he ought to get
padlocks and hold the key.
1t was Houston 5, San Antonio 1.
The visitors made their five in the
second inning. Pender opened with a
base on balls. Knox sacrificed to
O'Connor and Pender reached second
on Mikes wild throw to Clark while
Knox also was safe. Meyers walked
on four bad ones, filling the bases.
Knau erred on Becker's Inland Parvin
also hit to Knau, but this time Looie

Clark threw wild to O'Connor for a
double, scoring Meyers. Knox also
came home, but was called out, as he
made a Decline for the plate and failed
to touch third by ten feet. Two out.
DeYinney reached first on Knau's error
and with two Buffaloes on the bases,
Cote sent one over left field fence, scor-
ing three runs. The next man up was
struck out.
All of these runs were scored after
chances had been offered to retire the
side. 1Ea Ess8Et& AS
1t was enough to dishearten any
pitcher, but Charley Weber knew it
was only a temporary break and con-
tinued to push them over with all the
speed and cunning he ever possessed.
Right over, Charley" Win Clark
would shout from second. That's the
boy" came from King Bailey in centre
when Weber dropped one over the
plate. Nobody walks today" put in
the Bronchorian leader.
And Weber put them right over. I'm
til the seventh inning the visitors went
out in quick order.
But those five unearned runs of
st NJ
hitting Parvin.
In the sixth the Bronchos scored
their second run. King Bailey got his
base on balls for the third time, and
came home all the way from first on
Knau's drive to left field.
In the seventh we were shut out.
while Houston scored two runs, MAX
ing 1t 7-2.
Seven innings, the score 10 against
US and only two hits off Parv;n wasn't
very cheerful situation. Nat Sulz-
bacher, who had been blowing a tin
horn all afternoon, got tired and quit
! and the people were starting to leave
| their seats with the consolation that
I'VE can't win every game.
| The eight opened with the home team
| at the bat. Valdois walked to first.
Bailey, Knau and O'Connor singled
and Valdois scored. Stanley flew out
to Shaffer on high foul and Bailey
came in. Score IA Houston shut out.
A double play from Bailey to O'Connor
and foul to Stanley.
Ninth and last inning. George Keeta
found what he had been reaching for
all afternoon. 1t was basehit, and
a crasher down to third base. Three
runs to tie and four to beat. Every
