Houston Team Did Not Gomez
The negotiations for three games of
ball to be played here against the
locals by the Richelieus of Houston
today failed to materialize, Manager
Cummins of the locals having failed
to receive an answer to his telegram

place Sunday afternoon in the Mata-
moros bull ring is exciting the most
intense interest throughout this en-
