$50. 900 a fund to alleviate the ruined
fortunes of professional men and wo-

During my recent visit in San

by the misfortune that accrued to
professional men by reason of the
disaster The sturdy laboring men
find work at once. and through the
assistance of relief committees and

their feet again and in almost as

The cadets of the Military Insti-
tute played the first game of a series
of three with the Amarillo team at
the Institute grounds late yesterday
afternoon. and lost by score of 6
TO l. II was a close, interesting game,
for the most part, as Amarillo made
all her runs in two innings and was
played with a snap and vigor seldom
seen. One hour and twenty minutes
only were consumed in batting out
the nine innings.
The game opened with the cadets
at the bat. There was nothing doing
for four straight innings, and it was
nearly all clean, errorless. fast play
ing. In the last half of the fifth. af-
ter two out had been made, an error
was followed by three hits that let
in three runs for the visitors.
In the eighth the cadets got their
only score. Overlook got to first on
hit. stole second and ran to third
after long fly to center. scoring on
a fielder's choice by Hart.
Two errors and three hits gave the
visitors their other three scores in
the seventh.
Without errors, the score would
have been one to nothing in favor of
the Institute.
Captain Hester pitched fine game
for the Institute. pulling out of bad
holes In the two innings where Am
arillo scored, he would have retired
the batters without a run except for
errers back of him. During the great
er part of the game the boys played
good ball Their batting and base
running needs training. They need
the work in actual matched games
that comes only through experience.
The visitors are a fast aggregation
of gentlemanly players They will
give the Institute boys a run for the
money today and tomorrow.
