of the Texas league He is a native OF
| San Antonio. In the Southwest Texas
league he hit a 81 clip and did SPLEEN
did base running and fielding He IS
| only 10 years old. The Pittsburg Ma

GRAFTON and it looks like it was pretty
| certain that he would see big league

At Galveston on Friday Spangler
knocked a ball which went to the back
of the diamond out of reach of the
fieIders and through the club house
] door Three men were on bases and
the home run counted for four runs.
Ables is temporarily out of the game
| for San Antonio. He has been called to
| Kaufman as a witness in trial con-
corning the abrupt demise of China
man. He will be back early next week.
His work will be missed by the team,
] even for a short time during the present
| hard fight for first place.
Bill Graham, secured by the St Louis
Browns from Shreveport, has been re-
leased by that team to Chattanooga or
the Southern Association. Graham
pitched six games for St Louis and lost
them all. Apparently Graham was not
much thought of in the American league
as all seven clubs waived on the south
paw Graham is anxious TO return TO
Texas and is not satisfied at all with his
berth with the Southern association
Firestone and Stinton are certainly
the handy boys with the willow. Their
long swats with men on bases are re-
sponsibIe for the Bronchos winning
many games lately.
1t must hurt Dallas fans awfully to
see that team only slightly leading
Waco for the cellar championship. AL
the beginning of the season it looked as
If Curley Maloney had pennant win
ming bunch but since that time the
team has had an awful slump
Shortstop Larsen has been released by
the San Antonio club. Larsen played
several years in the Southern league
and was secured from that association
by the Bronchos. He has put up very
poor exhibition. He may find berth
in the Southwest Texas league.
It is indeed a hot day in the Texas
league when a riot cannot be pulled off
on account of some objection TO the
umpire's decision. The money that is
| being paid out for extra police protec-
ton to keep the umpires from being
mobbed could be used to better advant-
age in getting better umpires
Moore who is playing Shortstop for
the Panthers while Walter Morris is en-
loving an enforced vacation, is doing
some mighty fine work. The manager
for Fort Worth may decide that his
team will do better if he remains on that
vacation.
Pitcher Yates has finally shown up in
the Texas league and joined the Dallas
team. He celebrated his debut in the
league by getting pounded all over the
field. Johnson, from the southsFn
league, has also put his feet under the
Dallas dining table. 1t is possible that
he may do better than the other addi-
lions to the team.
No sooner had the newspapers of St
Louis begun to hand Bill Bailey a few
bouquets than he was batted all over the
field by the Washington team. An aw-
full holler is being put up again. The
former Beaumonter Will probably be
traded to Detroit, Hughey Jennings
having an idea that he can get the
Texan back in form again.
It takes a fan guessing hard to find
Just where Druckey, with the Okla
homa senator's will next appear in the
line up. One day he is behind the bat,
the next at shortstop, the next in the
Outfield, ETC., etc. Just the same he
delivers the goods and is becoming the
terror of every pitcher in the league.
The Christian university certainly does
turn out some real ball players.
Newman is rapping the ball rather
Hard for the st. Louis Browns but is
playing ragged ball at first. His err
ror column is something frightful.
Wetzel of the Sand Crabs is on the
sick list. He is nursing a bad case of
lumbagO-
Despite the fact that San Antonio has
taken H. Knuapp from the Victoria team
of the Southwest Texas league there
are two more of the family playing
good ball there. A. Knaupp replaces his
brother at shortstop and =. knapp, an
other brother. is playing third base for
Beeville. The San Antonio admirers of
the Dutch boys nope to see all three of
