CORPUS CHRISTI
IS THE WINNER
Brownsville Team Gets Drubbins
from Visitors.
First and Second Games of Series Against
the Home Team-Large Crowds
Witness the Battle or the
Diamond.

Corpus Christi's crack baseball
team has taken some of the starch
out of the Brownsville boys, ,by the
drubbing administered yesterday
and this morning. As reported.
yesterdays game stood 7 to in
favor of Corpus. The result today
was 10 to 6, again for the visitors.
The game was called at ten
O'Clock with DIR. c. B. Burch as
umpire and the visitors at the bat.
The game started off pretty lively
as the home team closed the visit
ors out in the one two, three or
der in their half of the first inning
while in the last half of the same
inning the Brownsville boys
brought a man over the home plate,
scoring a run. In the second in
ming the Corpus team brought two
men over the home plate. They
were then one run ahead of the
home team. When Brownsville got
to the bat in their half of the third,
they connected up with the Corpus
pitcher for several hits, which re-
suited in bringing i'll four more
runs. In the fourth inning the Wis
itors scored two more runs while
Brownsville scored one. In the
sixth inning the visitors scored
ruin and the home team
brought a man across the home
plate. This tied the game leaving it
s to 6 until the ninth inning, when
the visitors made four runs on
some bad errors by the home team,
and as the latter could not score
in their half of the ninth the game
was won by the visitors to the tune |
Of 10 TO s.

JUDGING from the latest election
returns of that primary held last

one half of the democratic voters OF
Texas took enough interest in that

cast their votes. That represents
enough votes, to still keep the old

Enough voted. however, to show
that the majority of the party is

FIBRE COMPANY AT FL PASO
viii Utilize Native Cactus and Yucca for
Making Alcohol and Paper Pulp.

At Ell Paso this week was in
augurated tie plant of the Ell Paso
Fibre Company. which will man
ufacture denatured alcohol and
paper pulp from the native growth
of cactus and yucca palm which
grow SO plentifully all along the
Rio Grande and over the plains of
South and West Texas.
The factory will have a capacity
of several tons of fibre a day, and
will also turn out large quantity
of alcohol. As the material is OBJ
tanned at practically very small
cost, and the expense of operating
the plant is very small, it is ex-
pected that this enterprise will pay
very large profits.

Thus ended the wild, mad scene.
The gay, cheering throng. the
music, the gaily drest fighters, the
gaudily caparisoned horses, the
fierce bulls. and the bloody contest
between men and beasts, all made
a scene the like of which many of
the spectators had never witnessed
before, and some of whom will
never want to see again, but the
thousands who love the bloody
sport for itself will treasure its
memory until it is repeated, when
they will flock to see the same
thing done again.
