Worth and Dallas.
The Fort Worth Kittens
and the Dallas Steers both
won Saturday and a pennant
decision therefore hangs
upon the concluding Sunday
games. Fort Worth must whip
Wichita Falls, Dallas must take the
measure of the Shreveport Sports.
If Fort Worth wins, the right TO
represent the Texas League in tn"
Dixie Series belongs TO the Cats; il
Fort Worth loses and Dallas wins,
tie will be created and the teams
must play off the second half cham
pionship. Then, if Dallas should
win that playoff, therGll be another
series between the same clubs to de
eide the league championship for the
season as a whole, Fort Worth as
winner of the first half, Dallas as
winner of the second half. Then
thcrcll be the Dixie Series.
INTO THE WINTER.
ForsoOth, this splitting the season
is liable TO complicate matters, and
the boys, if they don't look lively, will
get run over by the football teams.
One hundred and sixty Fort Worth
fans, accompanied by the Fort Worth
police band, rolled into Wichita Falls
in time for the Saturday game and an

several lusty wallOps, yet counted only
three runs, whereas the Bluffs used all
but three of their ten safe swats off
Couchman, Winters and Jennings to
produce game winners and got seven
tallies.
Couchman went along great until
the fifth, when he seemed to lose his
stuff and the Bluffs, held to two hits
previously, slammed four more. \

the enemy TO five runs and Winters
was on the hill when the Bluffs came
to bat in the next inning. He worked
two innings without being scored upon.

Jennings assumed the burden with
more or less success.
Those five runs spilled the beans.
NOTHING IN PINCHES.
Barnes had perfect control and his
curves broke sharply in the pinches.
The Bears got plenty of men aboard
but the pinch hits were missing.

fanciest fielding of the season in the
game.
As carly as the first inning the
robbery began. Gene Bailey made
great running catch of a short fly by
Miller.
In the third, Eddie Miller, an in
fielder by trade who has been trying
