PANcHo MADERo's AWAKENING.

Madero padre is evidently very
proud of his rebel son. In a recent
interview, incidentally he told of the
remarkable change in his sons way
of living about year ago.
my son, he liked good wine and
good beer, you know, and good food
of all kinds. He was what you call a
good fellow. One day he just quit
everything almost. He stopped drink
ing and smoking and eating meat all
at the same time. He won't even eat
eggs. He is vegetarian.
''In those days he could not make
a speech, could not even return simple
thanks at a dinner. have seen him
blush and stammer when called upon.
Now they tell me he talks wonderfully
to large crowds. | have not heard
him, but they say he is a fine orator.
Never did boy change So"
This sudden change from a bon
vivant to an aesthetic and hero is
rare, but not unprecedented. History
furnishes a number of similar cases,
among which may be mentioned Sar-
dinapolus, Gautama, Coruarro, and
others.

THE feeling engendered among the

Some of the young people Of Bryan
seem to have no appreciation of their
obligation to do their part when the
public welfare demands their services.

pride or esprit de corps among the

on such a bunt as that; and it was
only because Brown knew where he
would bunt certain kind Of ball, and
knew that Cobb was a perfect bunter,
that made It possible. The play was
made so rapidly that we who were sit
ting on the bench hardly realized
what had come of until we saw Steiny
shove up his hands and catch the ball.
IL was Brownies greatest play-and
at the same time think Steiny made
his greatest catch.
The play saved us. If that ball had
gone past Steinfeldt. or If Brown had
failed to make the play at all. the
Worlds championship series Of 1908
might have been different story, for
although we won the series almost in
straight games, Detroit played won
derful baseball all the time, and a lit
tie luck either way would have turn

San Antonio, Tex, June Up in
New York, Earl Gardner, who is hold
ing down second base for the Amer
lean league team, is creating a furore.
He got his training in San Antonio and
Austin. He has entirely recovered his
health, become acclimuted and is now
hailed as one of the coming players in
the great leagues.
Hub" Northern, who was purchased
from Houston by the st. Louis Browns,
has gone to Chattanooga in the South
ern league. He is batting over 800 for
that club and is playing his usual
steady outfield.
The weather man is now favoring
the Texas league. During the entire
month of May there were only three
rainy days.
OF the errorless games played in
the Texas league this year Houston
has participated in two of them. Aus
tin has played the largest number of
games without an error in fielding,
having 10 to its credit: Fort Worth
comes next with nine. Houston and
Dallas each with eight. Waco seven,
Galveston six, and San Antonio four.
Oklahoma City has played only one
errorles game this season
While there are a number of Texas
players doing well in the American
league only two appear in the lineups
OF the National league with regularity.

Mordecai Brown made the greatest
play ever saw, and at the same time
Ty Cobb and Harry Steinfeldt made
plays almost as great on the same
ball, so that all three ought to have
part of the credit. But Brownie made

The play was made in Detroit dur

inning. to 0. and Brownie pitching
great ball But O'Leary opened the
fourth with hit, and Crawford hit
safe, and with runners on first and
second and no one out it didn't look
so comfortable-especially with Ty
Cobb at bat We knew how fast Cobb
was. and how he could bunt, and we
knew he would bunt and that slip
or tumble probably would beat US.
Brownie thought out the play himself.
He told Steinfeldt to stick at third
base and not to move, no matter what
happened, and he refused to pitch
high and fast to Kings signal, insist
ing on pitching low and outside. King
knew, that Cobb would bunt toward
THIRD base and didn't want him to
but Brown did. He pitched fast, low
and outside, and Cobb pushed down as
perfect e hunt as ever was made, not
more than twenty feet toward third
and about five feet inside the line.
OIeary had left second base the
minute the ball was pitched, and he is

make play or to get Cobb at first
but Brown had no intention of trying
for Cobb; he wanted to get NO'LseaFy.

siderable batting slump this year, but
despite this fact is cfouting the ball

nearly all last year azId was to the
National league what Speaker was to
the American league. che other Texas
player is Drucke, a pitcher, secured
by New York from Dallas. He has been
in six games during the season and has
three to his credit, of which he won
two and lost one This results in his
standing high among the pitchers or
that league. He is what is known as a
hot weather pitcher.
Willie Mitchell participated in a
13-inning game for Cleveland recently
and the San Antonio recruit showed
up in fine form during the entire game
He got beat, but that was not his
fault. He was, playing against Phila-
delphia.
The Texas league looks to be about
the most even up proposition this year
in baseball. Houston beat Dallas four
straight. Waco beat Houston four in a
row, also Fort Worth and Austin Fort
Worth beat Austin; Austin beat pal-
las; Waco beat Austin; Dallas heat
Waco and Fort Worth beat Dallas

As he pitched the ball Brownie went
toward the foul line as fast as he
could, not waiting for Cobb to make
the bunt, but starting ahead of it to
the place where he felt certain the
ball would be. He scooped the ball

ed around like top and let drive at
Steinfeldt, who wasn't more than So
feet from him. I don't think Brown
ever pitched a faster ball to the plate
than that one. It wezt like a rife
shot about a foot over Steiny's head,
and from the bench it looked as If he
had thrown the ball away. Steinfeldt's
hands went up, he ducked his head
and hung TO the ball, and O'Leary was
forced out by at least 20 feet

perfectly made that ever saw Every

baseball game at Washington park.
1t is not to be professional nor a

from the Country club and a nine from

annual swatfest-
Pink lemonade. popcorn and peanuts
are promised for the occasion, which
is expected to prove real circus. as
these games have in the past.
Probably there will be few merry
widow hats and some of the players
will have no hats at all, while other
costumes will be made 10 suit the oc-
casion and the rooters, if not the
wearers.
One, Britton Davis. who sometimes
plays golf but knows how to catch a
car better than baseball. has elected
himself captain Of the Country club
team, while the Toltec club is still
fishing around for someone to do the
honors for that team.
No one has as yet been found to
act as umpire, though the men of both
teams assure anyone who will volun-
teer for the job that they will give him
as strong a bodyguard as Francisco
Madero had when he was in e. Paso,
so perhaps some heavyweights may
be induced to act the part. Waters
Davis and II. S. Beach may be called
upon to hold the indicators, each
working part of the time.
The men are supposed to play nine
innings, a full game. but maybe only
three bulls will be killed instead, as
the management feels that the weather
is bit warm and the soda water may
give out before the sun SETS The
players refuse to play by moonlight.
According to present indications the
teams will line. up as follows at the
call Of play ball:
Country club-B. Davis, pitcher;
Tom Newman, catcher; R. E. Hines

base; Joe Warrington, third base; II.
