Credit Due Houston.
There is deal of credit due to the
Houston club for its achievement in
winning the pennant this season as the
team has forced its way 70 the front IN
spite of sickness and accidents andshaS
held its lead against aggressive oppoSl-
tiOn on the part of san Antonio and
waco. The San Antonio team put up
a magnificent bid for the flag, and
manaEer Metz, who has acted as man
ager since George Leidy wa opposed
during August has demonstrated tnat
he is a capable leader, although Ger
tain amount of credit is due the for
rner leader. who assembled the BrOn-
chos early in the year. Many OF the

Manager James MalOney, the new
skipper of the Galveston crew, has
given the Island City better repre-
Sentative in the league than II mas en-
joyed in several seasons and he has the
nucleus for a stronger combination Tor
the next year Galveston made fin
iSh in the league this season as Boston
did in the American last year The Red
Sox did not finish in the first division
but in the last month Of play they won
more games than any other club They
had been too far behind for their squirt
to carry them well forward But right
now with the same club they finished
with in 1911 practically. they have
a certainty of getting away with the
American league flag
The Galveston team is expected TO
weather the draft season with hardly
a drain on its resources The owners
are confident of going into the battle
next spring with practically the sauos
team as now, barring Madden, to whom
Gardiner holds title. and Morton who
expects to retire. Madden can be easily
replaced and there are enough pitchers
nof to offset the loss Of even as good a
man as Runt Morton VIII Galveston
