five cents an ounce higher than 1t was
when the Government began to buy

The Brownsville baseball team
fell by the wayside yesterday in
their game with the Fort Brown
aggregation of ball players. When
the home team started in on the
diamond they were full of the hope
of victory, but the fort boys put a
damper on their expectations by
piling up runs like cord wood,
having fourteen to their credit on
the windup, while the tally sheet
only showed up with eleven to the
credit of the Browns. The home
team attribute their defeat to lack
of practice, and in order to redeem
themselves, intend to get busy.
The batteries were Selinski and
Vlenburg for the soldier boys, and
Laundry and Rentfro filed the
boxes for the home talent. Player
Wagner says the home team this
year will be a winner, and will
make a record that will bring it
fame.
The route agent of Wells Fargo
Express company, c. K. Theobold,
of Galveston, arrived in Browns
vile Saturday afternoon, and is
busy today checking out Agent
NJ. H. Dreyer, preparatory to The
express office being turned over
to the railroad company. Mr..
Dreyer will take a ten days layof,
most of which will be spent at
Corpus Christi, his old home.
When his vacation ends, Mr.. Dreyer
will go to Brentwood where he has
been transferred. He has made a
host Of friends both socially and IN
a business way since coming to
Brownsville, and all very much
regret his leaving. THE HERALD
joins in this regret and wishes for
Mr.. Dreyer much success in his
new territory. The office was
to the depot today.
