STRENUOUS FINISH
IN TEXAS LEAGUE
-Four Big Teams From -Four
Big Towns Are at the
Top of the List.

San Antonio, Tex. Sept. 2.-COming
down the homestretch in the race for
the flag in the Texas baseball league
are four clubs. anyone of which may
get the bunting. and the finish is about
as exciting as a baseball race ever gets.
Strangely enough these four clubs
Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and San
cities in the state, and there is as
much interest in the outcome of the
pennant race as in the popula ton fig
III es from the census bureau.
What is regarded as an important
factor in the league race is the meet
ing of the magnates to be held at Dali
las this week when the proposition
OF counting three games played by
San Antonio and Oklahoma on the
Bronchos' last road trip will be con-
sidered. These games have been pro-
tested by owner Morris Block, of the
Bronchos. and if they are thrown out,
the BronchOs' standing in the percent
age table will be boosted consider
ably and this may put an entirely
different complexion on the league
race
1t will be a hot finish, however,
from any angle from which it may
be view ed, for, while the BronchOs and
Buffaloes are battling for supremacy
here, Dallas is mixing it with Shreve-
port and Fort Worth and Oklahoma
City are having a rub at the north
end of the circuit All of the teams
are playing fast ball now and none of
the players are overlooking any points
TO get an advantage over their oppo-
nents
For the final series the Bronchos will
have the Waco Navigators as oppo-
nentS, and while the central Texas ag-
gregation is holding down the rear
end of the procession, this team is one
of the hardest in the league to beat,
at least it has proved such for the
Bronchos. The Navigators have caused
the Bronchos plenty of trouble this
season, and it is doubtful If the worst
Is over. The Navigators will close the
season here with a doubleheader on
Labor day.
The local fans are pinning their
hopes on the BrOnchOs pitching staff,
which Is regarded as one Of the strong
est in the league. All of the pitchers
.AbIes, Rogers, F'eeney. Banding and
Billiard, are in good form. while the
only dependable pitchers that the Buff
