McClintock Over Plate With Win
ming Run-Fans and ROOters Out
in Force and How They Did Root.
By score of 1 to 0, Brownsville
yesterday trimmed the crack Bay
City team in one of the best and most
exciting games ever witnessed in
South Texas. From start to finish
the game was fast and full of gin
ger. The fielding of both teams was
excellent. especially that of Palm in
left and Bell in center for the locals
Moore's costly error in the third, when
he muffed McClintock's fly. proved
a costly one for Bay City as it al
lowed McClintock to score the only
run of the game. McClintock at
third played a corking good game.
He scored the winning run and also
stopped Grifith's wild throw to third,
jumping several feet in the air to
do it and brought forth loud plaud-
its from the large crowd of fans in
the grand stand. Taft pitched a
mastery game, and the Brownies
supported him to a man. Griffith,
catcher, Cobolini first, Toles second,
Wicks short and Reynolds in right,
played ball throughout the game.
For the visitors. Sissen was the star,
getting two hits. one of which was a
two Dagger out of four times up.
Robinson also got a two Dagger. Dur
ing the game 80 Rice Eaters" faced

faced PEBBLES. Six Brownsville play
ers reached first base while like
