Of Sports

Pasos all their victories in the present
games.
There was a comparatively small
crowd in attendance but they enjoy I'd
the game which nau plenty of inte-'-
est and was hotly contested. The Me-
icoS played a steady game and as in
all the other games led the visitors
from the start. At the commencement
of the fourth inning the score stood 3
to in their favor and it looked as
though they would win easily. But
the Ell Pasos came to the front and
commenced getting in their work with
the result that they distanced their
competitors in the next few innings.
Chamberlain went into the box for
the Mexicos. and was faced by AhorE,
Both pitchers were in good shape AMI
they pitched a game of even merit.
Anorn'S support was of course muCn
better than that given Chamberlain.
-lnzer was again in evidence on THRU
and although he received several in
juries stayed in the game until the end.
He has certainly made a hit with the
Mexican public who lave been very
liberal with their applause whenever
| lie came to the bat. Another membrr
of the Ell Pasos, who is extremely we'll
thought of in Mexico and who mas
played a beautiful game, is Rogers
their catcher. In the five games he
has taken part in he has never lost
his head but has been right on the spoI
when needed. His throwing to see-
ond has been something great and al
| though the Mexicos have some pretty
speedy men in their outfit he had no
trouble in catching them when they
went down, whenever he had the
| slightest kind of chance. In addition
TO his ball playing his good nature and
fund of humor have all added to make
his popularity what it is.
In yesterdays game the fielding was
the feature of the game. Loubens AMI
Muench of the Mexicos and Hale of FL
Pasos all pulled down some remark
able catches. Hale got two that were
very difficult and if they had gotten by
him it would have made big differ
ence in the score. Muench also pulled
down a high fly that was a beauty.
| There is no member of the local team
who has played steadier or prettier
game than Eddie" Muench and ne
has shown himself to be an outfieldcr
of no mean ability. Loubens also has
played a beautiful game in center field.
The Mexicos started o ffas if they
would have an easy victory. In the
second part of the second inning they
sent a man across the plate and in
the third got two more runs making
their side three to Ell Paso o. In the
| fourth the Ell PasoS commenced to
get into the game and scored two runs.
They were shut out IN the fifth and in
the sixth cinched the game by getting
three runs. In the seventh they got
two more and in the eighth another.
A pleasant incident happened at the
close of the game. A large party o:
prominent gentlemen headed by Mr..
Jackson, all of whom were enthusiasts
rooters for the Mexico club, left the
| bleachers and crossed the diamond
where the Ell Paso team stood ready to
leave the grounds in body. In fey
we'll chosen words Mr.. Jackson thank
ed the Ell Pasos for the manner in
| which they have played ball and said
| that it had been a great treat to all
the spectators to see the skilfful game
| which they had played and although
| they had hoped to have the Mexicos
| make better showing they were glad
to know that they had lost to such
worthy competitors. He said that an
other thing that had greatly pleased
the Mexican public was that the games
| had been clean ones and had not been
| marred by any kicking or Objectionable
features. In conclusion he hoped that
the Ell Pasos would return to Mexico
sometime In the near future and that
they would have grea tsuccess in any
games which they undertook. Mr..
Jackson's remarks were heartily ap-
plauded.

Batting Averages
Tom Parker, the official scorer of
the games, has furnished the Herald
with the following list of the standing
of the various players who have taken
part in the games. Anterior, the big
short stop of Mexico, leads with the
remarkable average of GIL which is
something out of the ordinary. He
has been hitting the ball in a terrific
manner. 1t will be seen that the Mex
icos have been hitting the ball even
harder than Ell Paso and they have
! lost the game on account of their field
ing, inability to hit the ball when hits
were needed. and lack of daring in base
running. The averages are as fol-
lows:
