eANIt IA
funeral. q runaway, a dog fish, =.
ball game here to-day. The h,,s
bull won the dog fight and n. e..
won the ball game from the p.,.
Buffaloes. The white bulldO, -
had a chance; neither did the Ro.,..
Buffaloes, the score of the do, !,
being one ear to nothing and IA, a..
of the ball game being II tss.
favor of the Giants.
The dog fight was much close, n.
reason why the dog fight WAS a..
was because the NUTS had som. M.
70 fight. The Marlin bail park |, a.
of the smallest inelOsed place, |, a,
horizonless West, and the bou \,
extreme difficulty In keeping n, |,
in the lot. There was a grand ~,
of six home runs during the fer,
ties, only four behind the recon- 4,
Corsicana.
1t seems to be just human reh.,
ity that the State Of Texas, INV,
more room than any other state /, 4,
Union, persists in erecting the an,
est parks in the nation, while ec,nr
cd communities like that in Wild |.
dwell crowd out skyscrspers h m
the opponents OF the national psr.,
room in which to msneuvre.. b.,
would figure that in Land v.r
neighbors are a days ride apsr. ec
would have a ball park big enosss \,
keep the bunts inside.
Dog Fight a Coed One
Be that as it may, the dog fsh, W
a good one. They fought all az,
Live Oak Street and finished at 4
corner of Carroll Street, where b
white dog pulled Bryan. The br,:
dog had all the breaks OF the ere.z
ter, at that.
Returning to the subject Of Ia. II
game. the Giants clouted Messrs Ee
and Utt, pitchers for the Busslx
for exactly twenty-one hits, Wild i
an excessive number of swats even ii
country where the landscape and ue7
thing but the ball parks is grossly .
aggerated.
The Giants might not have beer >
vindictiye about it, but the Bssil~
brought the thing on themselves VIC
one on. Abraham McCarty, centre fsig
OF the Buffaloes, sent the ball over y
right field fence for home run. We
the Giants came up they seemed ,
think that the lads from Houston ~
simply invited assassination N
home run looked like an afront dlx
so the Polo Grounders started para
that ended only after the Glsnts iii
smashed in eight runs and eight BIZ
George Burns started the thing WI.
an infeld single and the lineup 'Ev,i
over the sacks with a monotonous reg.
lsrity. There were three home runs 2
this inning. all over the ngti hsli
fence. Herzog made The fn- D'TI
Robertson the second and C''T'
Burns the third during his seeo,d us'
at bat in that agitated inning.
Giants Become More Dlgnihs
After this burst Of righteous re
nation the Giants quieted down "
annexed the rest Of the runs in q ,f'
quiet and dignifed manner, as os,a'
players representing a magnanls'a
METROPOLIS. Bonnie kauh eotin
himself exclusively 70 singles ~
ball hit him in the head the last l-'
up, but they had another one-s''A'
ball-so the game proceeded. T.
Germany Schaefer went IN 70 ,ahm
Walter Holke in the seventh :;
dashed across the plate at me neH .
? triple steal, while Urish W. pHe
for the Buffaloes, uttered neltaet w
nor gesture. Schsefer did not ha',
perfect day, however. In the NOR
practice game, in which he p~.r
against John Joseph MeGraw' 1s a.
fell down. made a balk and isl,;
cover first in one inning. 10 to' =.
his sorrow McGraw smashed n.n
a two-bagger in the sane se, s0s...,
The performance Of Dsyy Eo0 'ls..
in the afternoon was hlgnly ".,
tory. Davy never goes ln,c
without the home run, Tor tneTs = =
fence in Texas that is nigh en0us'
keep him in the lot. But II was .
fielding where David showed p. :. ~
larly. Twice he threw men ou'
on what looked TO be sure niN' ..s.
The healthiest homer Of tns 49,. ~
noon was one hit BY Stick sH. ~,
the active and earnest cen,n 100. 100,
of the Buffaloes. 1t cleared tis -
field fence and would have 'e's ~ :.
for four bases in any s'sN
