Waco May 31.—1 t looked like a
Navigator win yesterday when in the
second inning they fell on Miller for
a single two doubles and a triplet that
netted four runs but the Bronchos
made a rally in the latter part of the
game that tied it up and the gruelling
contest finished a draw when darkness
fell at the end of the thirteenth.
It was an exciting game replete with
hard hitting by both sides. Although
the visitors made the greatest number
of bingles the locals’ were the longest
the output including three doubles and
two triples.
Stark who again started the batting
order was a big factor in the draw.
He opened the first inning with a hit
and when Dugey came in to field Stin-
son’s bunt Dolly took advantage of
his absence at third to go all the way
from first. Mclver then cracked a
clean single and the first run was scor-
ed.
Waco made all her runs in the second
and tbe score stood 4 to 1 until the
seventh when Stark and Stinson walk-
ed and Mclver and Bastian singled in
succession scoring both. In the eighth
Alexander singled and after Firestein
had sacrificed and Schan had gone out
Miller and Stark singled in succession
bringing home the tying run-
In the ninth it looked like the locals
might win out. Miller who had been
steady since the second inning lost his
range but before he could do any'dam-
age Ables was called to the slab and
the Navigators never had a chance. In
the five innings he pitched he sent seven
men back to tbe bench by the strike-
out route and held them to three scat-
tered hits.

Lcopr kick
Funny thing this
tie business. The
Brones seem awful
fighters to the draw
stage but lack the
poke for a decisive
win.
Mclver with his
three 1i 11 le hits
again. There’s only
one trouble about
this —Mobile will be
wanting the lad back
again if he continues to keep this up.
Stark's foot must be getting better
MONDAY.
—went from first to third on a sacri-
fice handled nine chances with but one
error made the circuit twice and wal-
loped in the tying run.
There’s one satisfaction anyway—-
they got a draw on an off day. There
aren’t many games in which the Bronce
draw four errors. Usually two errors
are fatal to them and their two-error
games are as scarce as horny toads’ll
be in a few weeks.
Yesterday was another bad day on
umpires in the Texas league. Strange
to say however the bad Bronehos
weren’t mixed up in any of it. That
poor old man got assaulted again. Won-
der how long he’s going to get off with
it? He’s about due. You’ll notice
however that he has no trouble with
Houston players. Wonder why!
The Mitchell boy is due to take his
turn today. If he has any luck at all
he should make a good start
the Panthers. He has had several days
with the club now and his work should
be even better than it was on his last
out when he seemed to have about
everything. Well I’ll risk a small bet
he is returned a winner tonight.
That should be some series between
! the Mud Cats and Pirates. It’s better
I than an even-money bet that the Shreve-
porters will clean up off the leaders. If
they do and the Bronchos have any
luck with the Panthers there should
I be another awful series when San An-
! tonio and Shreveport hook up Friday.
Gee I’d like to see the next eight games
in Shreveport.
Double-headers are scheduled all over
both big leagues for today. Memorial
day in the north is a great holiday and
both morning and afternoon games draw
immense crowds. Today’s games will
be the last for the American league in
the west and the Nationals in the east.
Detroit jumps all the way from Chi-
cago to Boston but no game is sched-
uled for tomorrow. Tiger fans are a
little nervous over the club’s long east-
ern trip but as they are much like the
Bronchos better on the road than at
home the snort writers are of the opin-
ion they will hang to their lead.
PIRATES HANGING ON
IN SPITE OF BAD LUCK
Shreveport May 31.—Hitting the ball
in timely places the Pirates took tbe
game from Oklahoma City yesterday.
The hanging on of the Pirates is con-
sidered remarkable by local fans. It
was feared when Garvin and C. Smith
were injured a slump might result but
it is not apparent yet. However the
severest test is expected during the
next series when Houston will be here.
Score— R. H. E.
Oklahoma City. .000 000 000— 0 2 0
Shreveport 001 100 00*— 2 8 1
Batteries: Drohan and Noyes; Har-
mon and Hilding.
EXTRY! POOR OLD MAN
IS MOBBED ONCE MORE
Galveston May 31.—The feature of
yesterday’s game with the Buffaloes
was the assaulting of Umpire Derrick
by Catcher Quiesser of the Sand Crabs.
Many people attribute the loss of the
game to the disturbance as the re-
moval of Quiesrer sent Bradford in the
air and he walked enough men to lose
the game forcing two over the plate
in the seventh.
Score— R. h. E.
Galveston 101 001 000— 3 6 3
Houston 200 000 301— 6 6 2
Batteries: Bradford and Quiesser
and Hellman; Rose and Gordon.

President Taft stated that in his opin-

This endorsement of tbe national

St. Louis Mo. May 31.—With two
of the greatest hitters in the American
league laid up from injuries the Browns
look like tbe original hard-luck kids.
George Stone has been out for some
time and last week Danny Hoffman
who is leading the league was sent to
the .bench by an accident. The Post-
Dispatch in speaking of ‘.he hard luck
said:
‘‘The absence of Danny Hoffman
'from the game doubtless took much of
the ginger from the Browns’ offense.
Arthur Briggs played in the outfield
taking the position in left while Jack
McAleese was moved over to center.
There was no fault to find with the
work of these recruits each handling
several hard chances without a mistake.)

GREATEST THING
EVER AND SAYS SO
iterated his dislike for the bunting
game. Several times Saturday when a
hit meant a run and when the batter
was ordered to bunt tbe president gave
utterance to impatient remarks. Today
he said:
‘‘l believe they should hit it out. I
like to see games where there is plenty
of — — ‘ slugging ’ I believe the sport-
ing writers call it. ’ ’
BLACK BRONCS
PICK EAGLETS
In fine fettle after their two weeks’
rest the Black Bronchos had a Pelican
feast yesterday that caused one negro
fan to say: ‘‘Maybe they is Eagles;
but they looks like crows to me.” The
New Orleans bunch were so badly out-
•lassed that neither game was in doubt.
Cyclone Joe was working in the first
contest and that is about all needed to
describe the game. Incidentally how-
-1 ever he allowed but one hit and fanned
fourteen of the Pelicans. Mooney was
! also effective in the second game. The
Brones were on their good behavior
played a brilliant game in the field and (
altogether conducted themselves like
the Champs they are.
In today’s game which will be called
at 4 o’clock Baby be on the
strip and says there will be some more
i Black Eagles with clipped wings.

Umpire Earle.
But Hoffman has been batting the ball
better than anyone in the American
league and running the bases better
than any member of the Browns and
was greatly missed by the players and
fans too. His ankle was very bad
Thursday and may keep him out of the
came for a couple of weeKs though Dan
s sure he'll be playing in the New York
series which begins in Gotham next
Wednesday.

UMPIRE SHEEHAN IS
MOBBED AT FORT WORTH
Fort Worth May 31.—As a culmina-
tion of several days’ dissatisfaction
I with the work of Umpire Sheehan the
] crowd went on the field after the game
yesterday and only the strenuous efforts
of several officers saved the official
I from harm. The trouble came up be-
cause the umps called a ball a strike
with two men out three on bases and
the count against the batter three balls
and one strike. It was getting too
dark to play much longer and the club
might have gotten a stand off but for
the play. However Sheehan got off
without being hurt and Dallas won the
game.

Chicago 111. May 31.—James J. Jef-

and on his return will prepare for his
battle with Jack Johnson. Before leav-
ing here yesterday Jeffries said.
‘‘l am going to Europe primarily to
take the baths at Carlsbad and inci-
dentally to fill a few theatrical con-
tracts which I signed recently. When
I return to America which will be
about the middle of the summer I am
going direct to California and start
hard training for my fight with John-
son.
‘‘When I return I will sign articles
to meet Johnson and take it from me
the fight will take place in this coun-
try if I have anything to say. Of
course I prefer to fight in California
but if better inducements are made by
other prominent promoters I am will-
