The Brownsville baseball team
had a very good practice game
yesterday afternoon at Washington
park. when they played a picked
up team a double header. The
first game vas a complete walk
over for the regulars, but it never
the-less gave them excellent prac-
ice. The second game, which
lasted for five innings, also result.
ed in favor of the regulars, the
score being 5 to 4.
A party of excursionists that
came through Corpus Christi to
Brownsville, stopping over in the
former city TO take a sea bath,
were robbed while in bathing.
Everything of value was taken
FROM their pockets, even their rail-
road tickets being taken, SO that
they were compelled to buy new
tickets to reach Brownsville. They
are naturally very indignant at
such an outrage. 1t is to be hoped
that the city of Corpus Christi may
catch the thieves and restore the
property of the unlucky tourists.
The way the fire boys tumbled
out of bed at two O'Clock in the
morning to go to the rescue of the
burning bakery, gives promise of a

citizens should be proud of the
boys and extend them all the en-
enlargement possible. At present
the department is handicapped for
want of proper equipment. and it
is expected that every citizen will
do his or her part towards secrr-
ing the needed apparatus for the
department.

Gulf coast. 1t is quite an acquisi-
ton for this coast to have a So
room bath-house. Although the
company has provided 80 bathing
they did not have enough to
accommodate the crowd of bathers
at one time. The restaurant at the
was kept busy attending to
