much MUNICH.

Too much Munich.
That was the whole story yesterday
Davenport has not had a regular
pitcher this season that could have.
stood up under the pressure. 1t took
a man whowas not impressed with the
awful Importance of the occasion, a.
man with whom it was Il mere matter
of dollars, to beat Rock Island yes
terday. Davenport paid the price and
was thus enabled to taste the sweets
of victory just twice in the season.
The Rock Island team plainly show
ed the effects of being keyed up to
concert pitch too long. Munich after
his performance of Saturday was an
important factor in the demonstra-
ton and the crowd did the rest
The home team showed up in poor
form in practice; it was carried off
its feet in the first inning and not
once afterwards were the members
able to get settled to business.
Crowd Broke Record.
The crowd was the feature. The
paid admissions numbered 4,456, the
largest number that has ever attended
"a Three-Eye league game in any of
the towns included. There were more
people forced into the field than were
able to find seats. The consequence
was that the players were badly ham
pered. There was a heavy line OF
people many deep along the foul lines
and fringe about the outfield. Every
vantage point within the diamond, as
well as every point that commanded
a view from without, including trees,
telephone poles, and tops of street cars
was occupied by humanity. The en-
tire night police force of the city was
on duty under the direction of Night
Captain Kramer, but it was unable to
keep the grounds clear. The start was
delayed quarter of an hour on this
account and was made slow in conse-
.quence. \ ground rule was made that
a hit into the crowd in any direction
was good for only two bases. Fouls
that did not drop directly back of the
catcher were given up by the fielders
and if they went low someone of the
crowd was sure to stop them. One
woman from Davenport sitting in the
grand stand was struck by foul
that hit post and rebounded. laying
open the skin of her forehead. She
was mOmentarily stunned, and after
the wound was bathed she left the
grounds.

THE great work which,the South
ern Pacific railroad is doing in
advertising Texas and bringing in
new settlers to develop the rich
resources Of this state, should entitle
it to the highest consideration on
the part OF the state government as
well as Of the people Corporations
are not suspected OF possessing
souls, to be sure, and the s. p. is,
OF course, no exception. Naturally,
it is working for its own benefit in
developing the farming interests Of
the state. Nevertheless, it is doing
the entire state no end OF good, and
has undoubtedly been a great factor
in the up-building of Texas, It is
to be hoped therefore, that its
further expansion may not be
hampered by untrIenGIy legislation
or judiciary proceedings.
MATAMoRos will get her railroad
first, after all, it seems. THE HERALD
is heartily glad to learn that work
is TO begin at once On the branch
Of the National to connect that
city with Monterrey. Ii it is really
begun az once, the work will no
boubt be completed within the
year, and our good neighbors of
the Heroic City viii then be
rewarded for their patient waiting
Of all these years. The accomplish
ment of this long-hoped-for work

which she once enjoyed.
