Yes it was hot.
That sort of heat that
makes the landscape
look black to you
’MH and that causes you
ME to growl over the
XS. most trivial things.
Of eourse ball play-
lU ers are not supposed
w' t 0 b® affected by it.
They're not human
.dfc- beings — just ball
f players. When thej
» J I are trying to blink
LJ Sr the sweat out of th sir
-/Y *’***'eyes and the black
- specks from in front
of them they are supposed to smile
sweetly when some crabby fan hollers
out and teUs them to hit the ball not
to stand there like a wooden Indian.
Funny ideas some of the fans have
about ball players.
One Growly Game.
It must have been the heat that
caused the Brones to growl so much
at each other and that sent the Panth-
ers after the gore of Umpire Page. The
game while the score would seem to
spell some real excitement was about
the poorest exhibition of the great
sport it has been my pleasure to see
this season. When the players couldn’t
wrangle at his umps they wrangled at
each other and when this grew stale
they crabbed at themselves. Every one
of the first six runs that crossed the
plate was absolutely inexcusable.
Everything Went Wrong.
Yes it was a bad day for baseball.
Every play attempted by either side
went wrong. The Bronchos had four
or five chances to sacrifice but didn’t
succeed at any of them; but the big-
gest sufferer from this was Big. Bill
Sorrells. Believe me Bill had some-
thing yesterday brit the luck just
wouldn’t go right for him. In the
seventh inning Bill played foxy. With
Firestine on second and Leidy at bat
Bill walked the old man to get to Mc-
Iver who never had much luck hit-
ting him. After getting Mac in the
hole the left fielder walked into the
third one for a beautiful drive to cen-
ter. It was a costly bit of foxiness for
Bill for Firestine scored. Again in
the ninth with Leidy on second and
Mclver at bat. Bill walked Mac to get
to Stinson. Again Bill made a bad
guess for the right fielder hit one a
mile over Ikey’s head for the winning
run.
Good Game—On Paper.
However on paper ; t was one great
game —if you don’t look at the bottom
line of the summary and see the time.
It was just like a great race between
stake horses. The Panthers were the
front runners. They broke in front but
the Bronchos tied them up in the first
inning. Neck and neck to the sixth
the Panthers again sprinted out in
front but the nar;s again nailed them.
In the seventh the front runners once
more broke loose for a momentary lead
but in the same inning the Brones mov-
ed up even with them.
The close call came in the ninth.

made a city fam-
ous but has earned

tation for excellence.
l
TUESDAY
In Ninth Inning
when with Sorrells on second. Fillman
hit a slow one to center. Cap came
in fast grabbed the ball and with a
perfect throw caught Sorrells at the
plate.
The final round however showed
just what kind of stuff those old nags
are made of. Winchell started the in-
ning by striking out. Stark threw a
gleam of hope into the proceedings by
slipping a pretty single to right. He
doused the gleam however by getting
caught off first. Cap although two were
out eaught one on the snoot and stole
second. Melver looked so threatening
that Bill walked him to get to Stinson.
The latter hasn’t been hitting very
lucky of late although he had drawn a
great triple earlier in the game and
Bill took the chance. It was a bad
guess for the right up
the game with a drive clear to the left
field fence that would have been at
least a triple maybe a home run.
And the worst of it is here's another
one of those scorching steaming siz-
zling sizzlers. I’m going to take a
thermometer out today and see just
how. hot it gets out there in that ball
lot. It couldn’t have been less than
115 in the field—Mac said it was 162.
About two more days of these humid
sizzles and the Brones will be as badly
disorganized as when they came home.
There’s an excuse for the fussing in
the heat but it would be a good thing
for the game and the club if it was
cut out.

Waco June 29. —The Navigators
weren’t feeling very well yesterday.
They couldn’t hit at all. A measley 20
biffskies for 35 bases was the best
they could get and they ran the bases
so poorly that only 14 runs could be
put across. It was a great day for
local fans and there was much celebrat-

WILLIE KEELER
OUT FOR LIFE
Report Says That Great Bunter
Was Cut Down for Good
In Cleveland Series
Associated Press.
Philadelphia Pa. June 29.—Willie
Keeler will not play ball again this
season and the chances are he may
never play again. During the New
York-Cleveland series it was announc-
ed that Keeler was out of the game for
a week or so owing to being spiked by
a Cleveland player. Since then it has
become known outside of the elub that
the veteran will not play ball this sea-
son although no official announcement
has been made to that effect. A sev-
ered tendon in Keeler’s right foot jutt
back of the ankle is the cause.

Houston June 29.—The Buffaloes
crawled back up into second place yes-

locals slapped out eight hits in two
innings. Woodburn was little better
but Maloney stopped Ihe slaughter.

Well we copped it
anyway.

up a little.
Get together
Giants and break it
up.
Gee wonder what
happened to the Pi-
rates 1
Northern the ex Panther was the
only Navigator failing to get a hit off
Shreveport pitchers.
Powell was easy for the Bronchos.
They took liberties with his arm at
every opportunity and got off with it.
That triple of Stinson’s like his last
hit was a milormore in the air. Caven-
der went to deep center fence for it and
it came near hitting him in the head.
If either had been straightened out
there’s no tolling how far it would
have gone.
Mclver made s couple of his aero-
batic slides for flies in left field. The
big boy missed the one. but nabbed
the second with a great tumersault dive
that wss some spectacular. And it was
the only way he could have gotten to
the second one. -
Melver was happy after that seventh
inning. Before the game he admitted
freely that Sorrells had his goat add-
ing however "unless the game was
close and there were a couple of men I
on bases.” That’s just the situation
he ran into in the seventh and he made
good a-plenty. Mac was one of the
sufferers from the heat. In the fifth
HERE’S A STORY BY A
LITTLE BIT OF A KID
BY JAMES BURNET
321 Montan* St.
। Say kids the nags have won every
game except twenty eight. You know
I Freddie felt sorry for those poor of
’ panthers Because he gave poor old ike
J and Markley each a hit. You’re a good
boy Freddie but oh you Willie.
That the way to throw to the plate
। and alex handled it nicely.
I Capt slid first and Stark stole sec-
ond. Mr. Page umpired ths game. Then
' old Stinson got up a put a beaut ox er
second an’ that’s all that saved the
game.
While Mr. Block gave out the checks
inning when a slight breeze sprung up
Mac said he could feel the pep coming
back. “I thought I was goin’ to die
a while ago” he said "but I wouldn’t
get out of the game because I knew
the fellows would say ths reason was
Sorrells.”
Ebinger who replaced Nance at first
is a big strapping kid. He joined the
Panthers a couple of days ago and no-
body else on ’the club has learned his
name yet. Judging by his size and
build he has the making of a great
first baseman although this is rather
a bad season of the year to break him
in.
Nance batted in the Panthers’ first
run. In the third he had another
chance but Page called the third strike
on him. The Kid didn't think it was
over and sent up such a holler that he
was sent to the bench with a $5 fine.
Both clubs hollered over senseless
things—it was part of their game. In
one instance the Panthers kicked be-
cause Stark blocked a runner from
getting to second ahead of Alexander’s
peg. In another the Brones kicked be-
cause a runner booted a thrown ball.
There was no kick coming in either in
stance.
Winchell looked a little wobbly at.
first but soon got the range. Fred felt
himself slipping all the time from the
extreme heat but stuck gamely to his
task. It was a wonder somebody
didn’t fall over out there in that fur-
nace. Several of the players fairly
staggered back to the bench and two
or three told me they couldn't see the
ball when they got up to the plate.
Rivers of perspiration rolled off both
pitchers.
My dope yesterday worked out pret-
ty good. Houston took care of Dallas
while Waco was beating Shreveport
and the Brones slipped over one on the
Panthers. If the Giants take the Mud
Cats today which is more than likely
Big Harry ought to slip the second one
through while it doesn’t make much
difference what Shreveport does just
now. What we want is to stand the
pace until we open a little more room
at the top. The nags are too game to
let down here —that’s the reason
they’re looking down from the top seat.
Please Mr. Giant tighten up and beat
Houston today.
GALVESTON FANS ARE
WONDERING THAT’S ALL
Galveston. June 29.—The expected
happened again yesterday when the
Indians grabbed off the first game of

Fues’ Hoohoos and Lassner’s Jokers
will mix tonight on the Turner alleys.
These games have no standing as far
as the chanoes go towards winning out
in first place both teams being out of
the running.
L. Neugebauer and J. Neugebauer
will meet tonight on the St. Joseph
alleys. This is a very important game.
Should Joe Neugebauer win both games
that would cause L. Neugebauer and R.
Jaeckle to tie up for first place. It is a
case of either win two for L. Neuge-
bauer to win the championship or else
lose two and tie up Jaeckel.
Alamo Iron Works vs. San Antonio

the bowling program for tonight at
the Beethoven alleys.
