ought to pay at Brownsville, where
we have a river with eight feet OF
water in it. The Guadalupe at Vic

the Rio Grande at Brownsville.

took it well. The team has some
very fine players.

The second series of games at the
new baseball park began Saturday af-
ternoon between the local team and
the aggregation from Corpus Christi.
Although the Brownsville boys had
been beaten in two earlier series
with the same team, in the meantime
our own team had been greatly
strengthened. These facts brought a
large crowd of rooters to the game
on Saturday and the two on Sunday.
AS in previous games, the work of
all the pitchers was the conspicuous
feature They struck out twenty
eight men in all, and for the most
part kept the hits well scattered. The
number of men retired on fly balls in
dictates the character of all three
games. The fielding of the locals
showed first class at all times, ex-
cept in one bad inning of the first
game and one in the third. The Sun
day morning game, errorless, is con-
coded to be the best all-around game
our boys have played. The early
shower. which delayed the game half
an hour, packed the dust and made
the field very fast.
The threatening weather of yester-
day did not prevent good sized crowds
from filling the stands Music by the
Santa Cecilia band enlivened the first
and third games.
