In Tuesdays game Mike OConnor hit
a foul bali, which sounded like pistol
shot. 1t was his arm, which was
wrenched, and the Bronchorian leader

days. He did not play yesterday; he
was in bed, nursing his arm, and also
had little fever.
But all this did not prevent the
Champions from filling their dates.
Red Herbert took OConnor's place on
first and Charley Weber went out to
Kohnleburg.
And the boys played just as if nolh-
ing had happened. Weber captained
the team, but there was nothing for
him to do, and when the players asked
for orders, the business manager told
them to play the game" which meant
Broncho ball, as founded by Mike
O'Connor.
Dashing George Fitzpatrick was on
the slab against Big Tom Hayes whose
manly chest once bore the name of San
Antonio The game opened with indi-
cations of a Houston victory. in the
first inning after two were out the
visitors found Gil for three scratch
hits, and they scored two runs. Hayes
had good speed and put the ball right
over the. plate. The Champs failed
to get more than three hits off him in
the first four innings, the score up to
that time being 20 for Houston. Gil
also was steady and pitched good ball,
and with excellent support the visitors
could not increase their lead.
But in the fifth the fireworks started.
Stanley opened with a base on balls
and scored the first run on Weber's
hit to left field for two bases. Weber
came in on Clark's drive for two bas-
es, tieing the score.

thinking the ball was going safe.' The
small crowd went wild over this beau

Fred Valdois at third also executed
some fine work by scooping up several
slowhit balls with one hand, which
could not have been fielded fast
enough with two hands, and threw the
runners out. His clever stop in the

Last nights game by electric light
was a complete success. Cheap balls
were used to prevent any lively hitting,
and the balls were mostly kept on the
ground, very few going to the outfield
Keefe and Bailey were in the points for
the locals against Shaffer andMeyers
for the. visitors. 1t was an amusing
game, only eight innings being played,
and was won by Houston by score OF
8 to 2. The game was played for the
