We are specially anxious to get
young men between the ages of

DY dropping Beaumont and Gal
X weston from the percentage col
~ umn the Texas league became
one OF the fastest circuits in the en-
tire country, and the playing sched-
ule of the remainder of the season
is now assured.
This seems TO be the consensus of
opinion among Texas league baseball
writers in regard to the dropping Of
the two clubs. which has been prob
ably the most discussed matter in
east Texas fandom for several years.
There is no doubt but that the
remaining teams of the league
were greatly strengthened by
the dropping OF the clubs ms
many crack players went over
to the remaining teams and made
them much stronger and in n
better condition to continue the

drop Houston and San Antonio to-

A lineup of the financial back
ing of the various teams of the
league as quoted in the Calves

The san Antonio club is backed
principally by Otto Wahrmund, of
the San Antonio Brewing associa-
ton. who has paid heavily for his
brief connection with the Texas
league. but who can conceivably
stand an even heavier strain for the
good of his city.
At Shreveport there is Capt. ". T.

whose interests are so closely al

no possibility Of letting his team
