A good crowd was out yesterday after
noon TO see Houston defeat Galveston and
they saw It, thought looked problematical
for time. Keefe and Staples We're about
equal on the slab, both pitching fairly good
ball and both receiving ragged support at
times and good Mt others.
The notable features of the game were a
long running sideway catch in the ninth
and good throw from deep left nearly to
the plate in the first by Boeook Il local
amateur used to fill left garden. Fine
handling OF n slow bunt by Spencer. KEN
NOR and BADGER also distinguished them
selves with the stick. but that is usual
thing, Griffin's good eye gave him three
tirsts on bad ones and a good one he
landed for three bases. Badgers feet first
slide for second was the only one OF It's
kind.
Jameson made an elegant catch of Grif-
fms line drive in the fourth and he sent
ii in for double play. Shewbridge did
coed work behind the bat and went after
all sorts of foul tips Becker's running
catch of keefe's high one in the fifth and
Turner's stop OF a bad throw in the second
were also evidences of good work.
Raeber made three bad errors but none
of them were costly; while Martins one
error cost run. Spencer was also guilty
of two errors. neither costly, while Grit
fms error cost a run.
