BEARS LINE UP
AGAINST TEAM
IN OWN CLASS
CoIeman's Men Take on
Galveston Saturday and
Sunday Here.
TIMER, LYLE HURLERS
Cubs and Bears Put on
Wild One Thursday,
Won by Chicagoans.

What the San Antonio Bears look
like against Texas League material
players in their own class, will be
ascertained this weekend when the
Galveston Sandcrabs come here for
games on Saturday and Sunday. Thus
far. the San Antonio team has not
been truly tested. Their major league
opponents were naturally too strong
for them and Austin and lesser rivals
were some degrees below the Bruln
class.
Bob Coleman will give Clarence
Timer his first acid test this season
against Pat Newnam's Grabs Satur-
day. Timer is slated to start and
travel as far as he feels able. The
second pitcher has not been selected.
Lyle. youngster just budding into
a regular last season, will start for
Galveston. according TO word received
from Newman.
The Bruin lineup will be much the
same as it was against the Chicago
Cubs Thursday. Fuller will be IN
the game. the injury to his thumb that
caused his removal in the middle of
Thursdays affair being of a minor
nature.

The Galveston lineup will be as
follows: Bittle, left field; Distel
shortstop; ID. NJ. Brown. third base

Grabs will have Devinney, Graham
Collins and Clarkson along for relief
duty in the box.

Thursdays game at League Park
was one of those things which cause
the managers of both teams TO offer
thanks that it's out of the systems of
tile players before the season starts,

ell to the stands. after the first tive
Cubs up in the ninth, STATE and
ADAMS, had singled, and declared the
affair off because of darkness. The
score stood II to in favor of Bill
killefer's National League hopefuls.
1t was a wild afternoon withal. The
Chicago team, considering that they
are major leaguers, gave even worse
exhibition than the Bears. George
Stueland was pounded off the hill in
the first inning in an attack which
included a triple by Boone and run
scoring singles by Galloway and Booze,
mixed with a couple of walks.
Ernest Osborne, the husky of the
nj
egade Piutes had nothing on him for
wildness. Ernest walked six in his
two innings of labor. Freddie Russell
from Friend, Neb., was number three.
The Bears mixed hits With five passes
from Frederick and a few Cub errors
and Killefer made one more change
in twirlers before it was over, send
ing in Charley Stauffer, another
youngster. Charley got the Bears out
without trouble in the eighth.
Lybrand Showed Stuff.
On the other hand, Heinie Meme,
after beginning nobly in the first in
ming, blew up in the second and Chi
cago scored seven times. "Rube"
Marshall pitched the third inning.
-Four more Cub tallies. Johnny Meek
was next. Meek whitfield three in his
two innings of hill-occupancy, but he
passed four and allowed three hits
that the Chicago sport writers will re-
fer to as timely. Then came Lefty"
Lybrand to finish the game. 1t will
have to be admitted now that Lefty"
is showing something this spring. His
early class is real. Lybrand allowed
one hit in three innings and walked
