team thai will at -ioast make a credit
able Showing and Wiz prove n formid'
able antagonist against any other win
whom il may come In contact.
While the boys IRON the Houston
High school were hardly heavy enough
to prove good match for the locals
they knew u good deal about The
game and the people who went out
Saturday ut the Driving Park yet
learned that the local organization IL
well mp TO the average and that they
will make n good showing of them
selves against any teams in tho state
Heretofore there nave been In Beau
mont perhaps Il half dozen young men
who really take an interest In the
game and who like to play IL. but
there was an absence of enough ma
tcrial to form Il strong team and also
of leadership. The Y. NJ. G. A. fur
nishcd me opportunity and George
Adams and his men, have taken full
advantage OF 1t.
Next Saturday there will be n bat
tie royal at the park and the boys re-
alze that they have nothing like aAich
an easy task us the one on Satbfday,
when The Houston High School went
down in defeat 2l-0. ST. Edwards Col
lCge will be here next Saturday and
they have the reputation OF being
among the best what is" One.inter-
csting feature of the game to come
is that Disch, who was loaned by Fort
Worth to Galveston during the base
ball season, is the coach of the uni
vcrsity and a star player. Disch Is
not a handsome fellow but he is a
perfect gentleman and understands
bl tn foot ball and base ball to such
an extent that st. Edwards gets him
year after year for the work. This Is
the college that Lee Blanchette and
many other young men of Beaumont
tended and the game should be all
the more interesting for that reason.
The American league pennant race
be settled today in New York
city. when Boston and New York meet
in q double header. On Saturday Bos-
ton defeated New York twice and this
gave the former champions lead
that requires return of the compli-
ment on the New York grounds today.
Until the games Saturday New York
was Just one point ahead of Boston.
The reason of this was that one team
has played more games than the
other. With New York taking both
games it is a question of less than
enc tenth of a game difference be-
tween the two leaders. With an even
break at New York Boston wins by a
fraction less than whole game while
if the Bean Eaters take both games
they win by a margin OF not quite
three games. The odds favor Bos-
ton, for New York must win both
games-a trying performance at best.
Chesbro will pitch one of the games,
bur the regularity with which he has
heen working against Boston OF late
nuts him at a slight disadvantage,
though of course Boston has been
working her best pitchers against New
York.
The fact that it will probably require
the last game of the American league
season to determine the championship
Is something that the team magnates
must certainly thank Ben Johnson for
The patrons of the game, however, are
rot likely to relish the switching OF
players back and forth in order to
make even races. They want the man
OF the best Judgment and the best
ability to get players to win. AS 1t
stands Johnson has changed the play
ers about SO as to make 1t an even
race. This is good business judgment
but there is certain repulsive feel
ing in the breast of the true fan when
such a thing is done. II is a case OF
" hen you must make a general charge
and cannot make a specific one.
The question of the pOst-series
rames between the champions OF the
two major leagues will probably never
be settled satisfactorily TO all. To be-
gin with. Brush is not likely TO an
nuunce whether he will permit the
Giants 10 play until he sees the re-
suits Of today's double header. II
Boston wins the announcement that
he will play may be expected. II New
York wins il is uncertain. II he does
ret play then he may lose some pres
tige. but the fact that he has given
Gotham a superb fighting machine In
the way Of base ball VIII overcome all
this In \ f"w months and next spring
the same big crowds may be seen AT
the Poo grounds. a posi-season So
rics would certainly Dc interesting and
the players would coin a snug sum.
