result. In view of so splendid a vic-

who decided not to run in the
hundred metres will reconsider
their intention. It would be a graceful
act on their part and with the laurels
of so remarkable a triumph fresh on
their country they can afford to take
a sportsman-like view of the Olympic
judges decision.”
The Chronicle expresses a similar
hope that America’s signal victory will
bring consolation for the chagrin over
the 400 metre race.
The Daily Ledger, which is almost
alone in thinking Dorando might have
won unaided, says: “Yet, let it not

rejoice today was splendidly fought

Brenham Giants and Fly-aways
Meet Tomorrow Afternoon.
Sunday afternoon at Athletic
the. Brenham and the Galveston col-
ored baseball teams will meet in con-
flict for championship honors at Ath-
letic park. Both of these teams are
crack semi-professionals, and the con-
test they will put up for green dia-
mond honors is bound to be fast and
interesting.
After the first game
Brenham Giants will
Broncos from the city of the Alamo.
Both of these games are arranged to
take place on the Galveston diamond
for the championship of the state of
Texas. The Brenham and the Galves-
ton teams will also play on Monday
afternoon.
Among shippers of Galveston, Hous-
ton and Beaumont there is much spec-
ulation over the manner in which the
railroads will extricate themselves
from what appears to be a delicate sit-
uation in regard to the increased
freight rates, which go into effect
throughout Texas on Aug. 10, applying
to all except the three cities
tioned, when they become
about Sept. 5. The difference
date of effectiveness is what
the trouble. The story which
this difference is of interest.
By the rules of the interstate com-
merce commission all general book
tariffs covering interstate freight
movements must be republished twice
a year Not more than two supple-
ments to any one of these tariffs may
be issued, and the burden of getting
out the tariffs falls on the railroads.
Tariffs must also be filed with the
interstate commerce commission for
thirty days prior to taking effect. This
is to give the commission time, if it
so desires, to examine the new rate
sheet and pass on the reasonableness
or unreasonableness of the charges.
Roads and steamship companies
serving. Texas issue two rate sheets.
One is called the Texas common point
rate sheet, and the other is designated
as the Galveston-Houston rate sheet.
The former covers rates to all points
in the common point territory of Texas
except Galveston, Houston arid Beau-
mont. These latter three are excepted
because water competition by the
steamship companies makes the rates
to them different from those to other
Texas common points.
The Texas common point rate sheet
was issued Jan. 1, 1908, and again on
July 1, in the latter instance becom-
ing effective Aug. 10. At tne
time the steamship companies issued
their tariff sheets, effective at the
same time and to the same points.
But the railroad companies, through
neglect or oversight, failed to issue
their Galveston-Houston tariff sheet in
time to make it effective on Aug. 10.
This tariff sheet, as stated, governs
absolutely all interstate rates to Gal-
veston, Houston and Beaumont. Un-
less it were issued in time for thirty
days filing before the interstate com-
merce commission, the roads can not
make it effective. They will have to
collect under the present charge sys-
tem of charges, although all other in-
terstate rates to Texas common points
and all steamship rates to common
points as well as to Galveston and
Houston and Beaumont, have been
boosted 10 per cent.
It is the information here that the
'Galveston-Houston rate sheet will be
ready for filing either late this week
or early next week. In either case, it
is believed to be impossible that the
sheet will be made effective until early
in September, Sept. 5 being the date on
which it is supposed to go into effect.
Now, between Aug. 10 and Sept. 5
there will be tariff sheets in effect
which will call for a higher rate to
Texas common points than to Houston
and Galveston and Beaumont. This
will be brought about because goods
will go into the common point terri-'
tory under the new tariff sheet at an
advance of 10 per cent over the old
rates, whereas, for failure of the roads
to get out the Galveston-Houston sheet
those two cities and Beaumont will op-
erate under the old system of charges.
The situation is unique, railroad and
traffic men say, and just what the rail-
roads will do cannot be predicted, un-
less they postpone the effectiveness of
the common point sheet and make it
Sept. 5, to comply with the Galveston-
Houston sheet.
San Antonio Wins.
There were some strange doings
Athletic park yesterday .afternoon,
when the third and final game of the
San Antonio series was pulled off in
the presence of a fair-crowd,
not very much of a game, that is, as
far as Galveston was concerned, for
the Broncos simply played rings
around the Sandcrabs and kept piling
up the-rings until it was a continuous
merry-go-round of fun and amusement
for the visitors.
For Galveston Bert Hise was the
first man selected to do stunts in the
center of the diamond, and the afore-
said stunts were very kindly received
by the Broncos and right at the jump-
off the merry -swat of the willow
against the horsehide was heart in
heartrending succession. The first in-
ning for the Broncos resulted in four
big swats, one of them a double, and
off these swats they landed three runs
across the 'plate. The second inning
was even worse than the first, for the
Bronco- landed on Mr. Hise five times,
' one of which was a homer, and with
these, five swats and a base,, on balls
six runjiers came oa around the sta- .
tions.
When Galveston came to bat in the
second session she faced the. problem
of 9 to 0, and only two innings played,
but they found a weakness in the San
Antonio line.-up, in, the person of Mr.
Harris,. who. was doing the twirling,
and that weakness- was taken advan-
tage of by landing for five slams, and
with the aid of two walks contributed
by Mr. Harris six of the Crabs went bn
around the four sacks. After this in-
ning both Hise and Harris were re-
tired, and in their places were substi-
tuted Dupree, for the visitors, and
