Sail Antonio St.
Not often are the faus here
treated to a game of ball such
as was pulled off in the ball
park last Thursday afternoon
between Busy Bee Ave. and
San Antonio St. When the
smoke cleared the score board
showed 14 to 9, in favor of the
Avenue team.
The players were selected
from the ordinary rank aud
file of the two thoroughfares,
''professionals" being barred,
but the way they handled and
swatted the ball was a cautioh,
and proved beyond a doubt
that there is a considerable
amount of undeveloped big
league timber right lien;.
Something over $10 was
cleared from the game, which
was used iu the promotion of
the picnic.

To Dispose of Rusk Furnace
Austin, Texas, July 16.— It
is practically certain, accord-
ing to information here, that
the state is to dispose of the
Rusk furnace and iron ore in-
dustry. It is understood St.
Louis capitalists have made
propositions to Governor Fer-
guson to lease and develop the
industrj', but before taking
action the chief executive
wishes to submit the matter to
the legislature at the coming
winter's session. The prop-
erty was leased during the
Colquitit administration to an
Eastern syndicate, but the
lease was later surrendered
because of the inabilty of the
leasees to get suitable rates
frotu transportation lines.
