Result Was Never in Doubt After The Firsl
Inning Was Played.
no BRILLIANT PLAYS DURING THE GAME
Lake Charles and Beaumont settle
Their baseball Contest-kaysees
Made n strong Finish.

The Houston fremen took the game from
Galveston yesterday very easily, winning by
the score of II to s. The hremen took the
lead in the first inning and the result was
never in doubt. Owen Wells was in the box
for the fremen and he pitched good ball
lie let the Beach Combers of Galveston down
for FIVE hits and kept them well scattered
except in the sixth, when he was hit for
three singles, and he struck out thirteen men
The game was almost without features
neither team making any brilliant plays or
accepting any difficult chances. Scarhor-
ough as usual led at the bat with two singles
and two doubles. Joe Rail-, new man, play
ed second very acceptaby, taking all OF the
SIX chances offered. Zack Walsh. who has
been out OF the game for a month caught
yesterday and showed that he lacked prao-
tice. He was unfortunate during the game,
receiving injuries on the leg and arm that
gave him considerable pain. The Galveston
team played q very poor game, both at the
bat and in the field Watts did the best work
for them in the field, but at the bat Wells
made a monkey of him. striking him out
three times.
In the first inning Houston mace four runs
on hit by pitcher and singles by Scar
borough, Roper, Walsh and Claude Rielley
and a dropped third strike and wild throw
by Oleson. In the second they got three
more on singles by A. Rielley, Roper and
Walsh. and double by Scarborough. They
made two moro in the fourth on hits by Chill
dress and C. Relley assisted by a couple of
fumbles and wild pitch. Their last two runs
were made in the eighth on two-bagger by
Scarborough. en- error by Stewart and two
passed balls.
Following is the score.

WOOD COUNTY.

Quitman, Texas, August 1.-THE cotton
crop viii be moving nicely by Septemoe
20 or October /. Five bales have been
marketed at good prices in this county.
Half bale per acre is a fair estimate OF the
yield. though it may be less. as boil worms
are injuring cotton In some places.
Anneola, Texas. August 17.--Cotton has
begun 10 move IN this section, being about
ten days late, as compared with last
year. Recent rams have been a ser.ois
drawback, as the bottom lands are in
very poor condition for picking. Growing
crops have been generally free from m
sects, although boil worms have appeared
in the northern end of the county A
general movement OF the staple is not
looked for for about a week, and 1t IS
feared that the cop will not come up to
earlier expectations.

Luling, Texas. August 26--The past

thing for the cotton. and as a result che
staple has begun 10 move much more
freely. There were about fifty bales
marketed yesterday, and picking VIII
begin in earnest next week Tne last
few days there has been considerable
complaint about the bool weevil and other
insects injuring the crop, but TO what
extent they viii get in their work can
not now be told. In some farms. how
ever. there has been no injury from Ia
sects at all. and 1t is to be hoped that
their sphere of destruction will not bo-
come general.

was nothing in 1t which would lose him
A vote. He did not once mention the name
