the southern series so far, everyone
agrees.
The Veterans won from San An
tonic by a TO score, "Wednesday,
thus getting their first victory OF the
season But the result, while VIC
tory. has started lot of arguments
The Kittens claim that the glory Is
really due TO the achievements re-
ceived from their team. claiming Nc
Intyre. Casey and Stroud as their
quota. This matter will furnish mat
ter for debate for days TO come.
Be the argument as it may, the fact
is that Detroit had no easy time dis
posing OF San Antonio Crawford
and Mcintyre were the only gentle
men with bright batting optics and
Sans drives, with one exception, ala
not assist in the run-making There
was also a ninth inning disposition To
play tennis with the ball, all OF which
| tended 10 give the San Antonio root
ers apoplexy.
Each team scored two runs In the
first inning. u. Jones pass. singles
hy Mcintyre and Crawford and an out
scored two for Detroit. Pope walked
| in the San Antonio half and fantz
poked fly over that short right Held
! fence. somewhat 10 the disgust OF
George Mullin. who was then doing
the fiinging. After that there was
nothing doing until the ninth, al
though events threatened now and
then. LeliveIt showed three good In
/ nings and Stroud took the slab.
Casey and Stroud got free trans
portation In the final but the former
was forced on Davy Jones knock TO
third baseman. Then Stroud stole
third and Jones second. Mcintyre fol
! lowed with a hit over the fence and
4
| three runs were In.
II took sharp work to check San
Antonio. Pope hit safely but tried to
steal and Casey doubled him on
third strike At this juncture, Sim
mons, Moriarty and O'Leary made
successive errors and the bases were
loaded. Again Casey came to the
rescue, making short throw to Bush
when the bronchos got too risky on
the sacks and getting Alexander be
tween third and home.
Manager Jennings is making bat
ting practice the main part OF the pro
gram, the practice hurlers having In
struction TO serve every thing they
have to the batters. This is to over
come the present weakness OF the
veterans. This has worried the little
manager. The non-appearance tc
Tyrus r. Cobb IL another sore disap
pointment Ty has been due for sew
eral days, but no word comes from
| him.
There is a good-sized list OF suffer-
ing athletes Just at present Willeti
has grip and Schmidt is indisposed
Delehanty has lumbago while Davy
Jones has a lame leg. Moriarty and
Donovan are recovering, however.
Secretary Schumm is here to take
charge OF the financial affairs OF the
