ton team to Brennan's work at San Anto-
MO was that ii was not the work that
he can do. The objection Is that he stopped
at the last moment. and with the power
he has conferred upon him, so ruled that
he assisted San Antonio 10 win the game.
This is testified TO by Houston man
who was in San Antonio at the time. and
confirmed by San Antonio people since.
This is not tho first complaint 81 MIR
Bronnans work, and the former complaint
was on his work at San Antonio when
tho Houston team was there for three
games He fines the players right and
LETT. and when one would 80 10 the coach
ing line he would send him back to the
bench That he called the Houston play
ers "lot of stinkers' is testified to by a
man who Is believed by Houston people,
and this should d'squaify him from fur
Their work where the Houston team is in
voved.
The San Antonio Express has the fol
lowing: There was a paragraph in The
Post last week saying that San Antonio
will never win any games from Galveston
and Houston when such competent umpires
as Brennan and Clark are in charge "
The writer for the Express has deliber-
ately falsificd the record. and only use
that as a polite way to tell him what could
be said in stronger language, What did
appear in The Post was the following, and
it was in an open letter to President
Heuermann:
with the power conferred on you there
is vet chance for you to redeem Yourself
Discard these mon who have been the
cause of quibbling and kicking. put good
men like Isrcnnan and Clark on the staff,
and let incompetent ones 20, and YOU VIII
be lauded FROM one end ot Texas 20 the
other The people do not dislike you per-
sonally. They do not know you, but they
are very sour on you as a baseball presi-
dent"
1t will be seen that Brennan IS given
credit for being a good umpire, He is
good one when he wants to be.
The Express further on has the follow
ing bit of information;
lone OF the Houston s. directors who
Is on the trip with the team. rushed up
10 Scorer Nolan about the close OF me 1lrst
game and asked him 10 give the Houston
manager roast for losing the game. We
