TEXAS LEAGUE.
NATIONAL LEAGUE


II was smnlv awful yesterday. CIV Mulkey
a member of the old Houston team. was in
the box for Austin Yesterday and met with
warm reception at the hands Of Houston's
new sluesers. II Cy thought for a moment
that he would be as successful as his distln
grished colleague WINS on the niovious day,
If ne had the slightest idea tina he would
hold the Buffaloes down to as few hits as
staples, he was the most sorely disappointed
man imaginable and he was N that condition
before the game had progressed very far.
Every one Of the locals had bis eve On the
ball yesterday and Ilustons men pounded
poor Cy all over the grounds. Base hits came
thick and fast and the Bunaloes didn't DO a
thing but faucn IN their batting averages at
the expense of Mulkey. The general poor
playing of the team behind him helped Hous-
ton along, and the score was appalling-lo
to 3
Jack Huston. the old war horse, pitched for
Houston and the hits Austin got on Ut his
delivery were few and far between, and some
OF them were but mere scratches. Huston
was on his mettle Yesterday and was deter
mined to win lie pitched an excellent game
ana 1t came very near being shut out for
Austin. The Houston team gave Huston
splendid support and outplayed the Senators
al every point, An error or two YVES made bv
the home team but they don't count IN such
a game as this was.

hght and he was never the same man az
terward.
Fitzsimmons is still the middleweight
champion OF the world. he went against
a true heavyweight and suffered the con-
sequences OF his mistake; in reality, it was
chain Of fortuitous circumstances that
made him heavyweight champion, and ne
had no right in the class. He hw been
convinced Of this, probably.
The new champion smothered the old
even as Dempsey was smothered at New
orleans; but Fitz was just as game as
dempsey and took his punishment with the
same spirit Of defiance.
There were many points Of similarity be-
tween the two fights, as will be noticed ty
those who remember the fight Of eight
years ago.

second John l.. Sullivan. He has an.
nounced he is fighter and not an actor, .
