BROWNIES WIN FIRST
cF VICroREs SERIES.
Two to One, the Score, Tells Tale of
Hard-Fought Battle, in Which
Champions Were Defeated.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
Victoria, Texas, July 26.@In one
of the hardest fought and prettiest
ball games ever witnessed here. the
Victoria Champions went down in
defeat yesterday afternoon in the
first of the series with the Browns
vile Brownies, by score of 2 to l..
Little Buster" Brown, who was on
the firing line for the Brownies
pitched a wonderful game, striking
out nine of the Champions. Brown
received excellent support from his
team mates, the Brownies playing
like bunch of old leaguers, and
making only one error, while Vic
toria made six. While the Brownies
only succeeded in making four hits
off of Bradford, the local twirler,
yet, coupled with Victorias errors
and the excellent base running of
the Brownies, they succeeded in
crossing two men over home plate.
Bradford, who belongs to the pitch
ing staff of the Galveston league
team, was hired by Victoria for this
game, but he was unable to handle
the aggregation of play ball, boys
from down on the Rio GTande, he
striking out only five of them.
The feature of the game was the
double play made by Little Buster
Brown, Toles and Cobolini. With a
man on first, the next Victoria batter
runner to second hunted the ball to
Brown, who threw the base runner
out on second to Toles. The latter,
quick as lightning, threw the ball to
Cobolini on first in time to throw out
the batter. There was not man
walked to first base by either pitcher.
While Bradford is one of the best
twirlers in the state, Little Buster"
pitched rings ali around him yester-
day.
Victoria claims to have the
champion amateur team of South
Texas, and it is admitted to be one
of the strongest aggregations of ball
players in the state but when they
went against the Brownies they hit a
hard knot, for no better aggregation
of ball players has ever been gath
cred in a town in the state of Tex
as than the Brownies In the game
yesterday Victoria was Outgeneraled
and outplayed at every point. In field
ing, in hitting and in base running
the Brownies were superior to the
Champions, and even against a
strong league pitcher Ike Bradford
the Brownies We're able to defeat
the Champions in their own back
yard.
The batteries in yesterdays game:
for Brownsville, Brown and Griffith;
Victoria, Bradford and Knautt
The same teams play here this af-
ternoon and tomorrow, after which
the Brownies go to BeevilIe.

secretary. The school has started with
an enrolment of over fifty and is
growing rapidly.
The St. L. B. and NJ railroad sec
ton gang has begun work in the
yards here. The first improvement is
the completion of another double end
switch, which will greatly facilitate
the yard work of freight crews. The
old switches have been for some time
unable to hold the cars destined for
this point, and for points on the
branch line when transfer is to be
made here.

YOUNGSTERS
WIN THE GAME

The Sophomores and Freshmen of St.
Louis College put it all over the Seniors
and Juniors in the postponed game at
Aala park yesterday afternoon. The
final score was to with 6 bingles for
the winners and only 4 for the losers.
Bill Espinda, did not decorate the box
for the older players and Aki took his
place. The latter twirled a pretty game
but was not there with Augie Dreier
who opened up new box of curves and
spread them all over the plate.
It was very good ball that was play
ed by both sides. Errors were few and
both pitchers made it hard for the
sloggers. There were only three two
baggers in the game and not single
triple. Neither was the free list very
liberal. Ak gave three passes ito first
and Dreier only two while the latter
famed seven men. That is some pitch
ing and would look very pretty on some
| of the league score sheets.
The youngsters did not win all the
way but made the two runs that put
them ahead in the eighth. They scored
first in the second, were tied in the
| third. went ahead in the fourth, were
caught again in the fifth and each side
scored one in the seventh.
The official score was:
