Wheat Makes Good,

his appearance on the mound TOT
Amarillo, and allowed only four bin
giles in the four innings In which he
occupied the center OF the arena,
One OF these was OF doubtful kind
and with perfect work in the garden
he would have never been scored
against Wheat seems to have plen-
ty OF speed, and curves, and with a
little better control will no doubt be
valuable adjunct to the pitching
staff.
It being MT Wheat's first time out
this season, he retired after four
innings OF strenuous work and Emo
lus Gober another new pitcher took
up the task Gober, too, seems to
have everything that a pitcher should
have, and the visitors never got so
much as a peep at his whirlwind de-
livery.
"Pop" wilcox as Umpire.
Mr.. W. j. Wilcox appeared in the
role of umpire, and comparatively
pleasant time was had. Mr.. Wilcox,
who bears a remarkable resemblance
to VIM. Jennings, in both appearance
and initials, attended to his own
business and several OF the players
attended to II also. The Athletics
were winning and this fact brought
slight concessions to bear in favor Of
Mr.. Wilcox.
Much against his will, no doubt,
Mr.. Wilcox was forced to call a
strike on Mr., Weston on his first trip
to the plate. When Weston started
to beef he pet little encouragement
