Th ground waa damp and threatening
rain kept the crowd from attending that

together everything waa crossed with

Beaumont when the Houston team lined
up for practice with only nine men in
uniform and three of these pitcher.
Moore is in Galveston auenoin suit-
or trial of some sort and Markley la said
to have been suspended. And with these
two good players out of the game it
looked like a walkover for the local
but they found anything but a snap.

lng finish by batting Baldo. but the halt
cam In time to save the gam for th
Reds by a score of to I.

bunt and Smith who followed had three

turn It and Thebo and Morris both

Weber drew a pass and McOivltt struck
out Edmondson hit the ball to the cat-
tle pen In center field scored Weber and

to Thomas and then Hunter lined out a
stiff two-bagger and' scored Lultlch and
Thebo. Smith new out to Absteln and 4
retired the side.
A base on balls a single and an error
of Adrian gave Houston two in the fifth.
Wild pitches bases on ball stolen bases

New Park Is to Be Dedicated Fri-
day Afternoon.
The Houston team will return home
and open the new park on the Harris-
burg road Friday afternoon with Gal-
veston as the attraction. This will be
the first game that the team has played
In Houston since July 1. and It Is ex-
pected that the fans will turn out and
give the boys a warm welcome after an
absence of nearly a month.
Since playing here the team has been
around the circuit twice and several of
the men are homesick and heartily tired
of traveling around and playing on for-
eign diamonds and they have not been
playing as good ball as they ar capable
of. When the team return It la expected
that they will strike their gait again
and demonstrate that Houston has th
best team in the league.
The new park Is said to be In excellent
condition the recent ruins having melted
the hard lumps of clay and the diamond
has been leveled and rolled and la said
to be lightning fast. The park can be
reached by the transfer wagons. snd bus
line and by the Franklin avenue line
which runs within a few blocks of th
park.

Mr. Hancock to Again Tackle the
Betting Problem. '
(Houston Post Special.)
Dallas Texas July 26. The law gov-
erning pool rooms is to be amended by
the next legislature. If Its friend can do
so. Hon. Curtis Hancock said to be ths
author of the present anti-poolroom law
a representative to the legislature from
Dallas county and a democratic candi-
date for re-election announced today that
he will Introduce an amendment to .the
antl-poolrofim bill In the next legisla-
ture which will. In his opinion put un
end to rooms that Operste on the "com-
mission system." Mr. Hancock stated
to the correspondent today that
his plan is to introduce a bill In the1 leg-
islature amending the present law so that
It wilt be a misdemeanor to offer to lay
a wager on a horse race except within
two hundred feet of a race track and on
the day the race is run. Mr. Hancock
explained that this last provision would
place the bill like it was when he first
presented It to the legislature.
An amendment Mr. Hancock expects to
offer is to sllow the testimony of a bettor
in a poolroom to be Introduced without
being corroborated. As the gaming laws
of the State now read an Informer la
rosde Immune from prosecution if his
testimony is Introduced In court but It
has to be corroborated snd this Is oftsn
a difficult matter for th prosecutors to
do.
"As ths rooms ars now operated" ssld
Mr. Hancock "th bats ar not made In
the Stats of Texas but In soma other
State. A man may ofrer to bet on a
horse race here but It does not beoome
a bet until the bookmaker in Loulslsns or
some other Stat accepts It The pro-
vision to make It a penalty to offer to
bet will reach the rooms as they are now
operated. I have not made up my mind
as yst whether to Introduce a provision
making a violation of this law a misde-
meanor. "Horsemen who are interested In having
the antl-bettlng law changed so It will
rirmlt laying wagers wn horse races In
exa should make every legitimate ef-
fort to accomplish this end and I advlao
them to begin their campaign of educa-.
Uon at one." - - ... ... .-

World's Fair League Held Meet-
ing and Made Preliminary Ar-
rangements for Dallas Contest.
At the conclusion of the fowling con-
test last evening the members of the
Turnvereln league assembled for the pur-
pose of holding sn Important business
meeting.
All preliminary arrangements were
made for the t-almr Day contest which
will be rolled in Dallas on Iibor Dev.
' As in the past tlie Ttirnveivin league
will be represented by two teams th.
riuck bowlers of the league forming the
teams
taptain W. E. Inpold was unanimously
re-elected captain of the. teams.
A committee composed of W. E. !eo-
pold. chairman; J. C. Benxlnger and 1.
D. Bmeaton was appointed to make the
selection of the two teams for thin annual
event snd also to make arrangements f it
railway rates for the teams going to Dul-
Iss and the team which will represent
Houston st St. louts.
The selection of these two teams will
he made at once and those selected wu
roll weekly contests with the two team
composing ths Mugnolla league so that ail
four of the teams will be in practice for
the Dallas tournament.
Th" schedule of the World's Fair league
clones with the contest of August .!
vhich leaves but five more contests.
Those memliers of ti e 81. Louis team
wlvo will also represent the Ttirnverent
In Pallas will remain in l a Has for iu
or three days nnd then go on to St. luus
while the other members will return to
Houston.
Rumors Anent Condition of Jeff-
ries. .
The exact condition of James Jeffries
Is new the problem In pugilistic circles.
According to friends of the ch'implon
he is In first class trim barring the nat-
ural softness resultant from several
weeks' Idleness due to his sore knee.
According to Impartial sporting writers
who have watched him lately he la in aa
adipose condition that will require several
weeks to reduce. Estimates of the time
necessary for the champion to take oil
his superfluous flesh vary from a fort-
night to six weeks.
Jeffries fights st weights rRUirlrrK
around 220 pounds. In g"o.l trim he h is
a body as hard and rosllient as a steel-
spring mattress.
Last week his weight was estimated at
266 pounds. This forty-two pounds is a
big amount to take otf in the month be-
fore August 27-st which time he Is
scheduled to fight Jack Monroe.
Jefi'iies muroovw has been reported a
living In a style not In sccordsnce with
the strictest training methods. It is
rumored that he has shown a fondness
for high living thut may count against
him.
On this account. Jack Munro is being
boomed quite extensively In the West as
the possible winner In the battle.
That Jeffries in trim could defeat
Munroe wlthou much difficulty seems to
be everywhere "conceded. That Jeffries
can turn the same trick after a period
of high living seems to be doubted in
some quarters.
If the champion enters the ring next
month in moderately fair shape h will
be n overwhelming favorite. But If re-
ports continue of his poor condition It Is
likely that s plunge will develop on Mun-
roe at the last minute similar to that
displayed on Fitzslmmons in the last
twenty-four hours prior to his bout with
Jim Corbett. The outsider always catches
this lata play If the faintest excuse I
offered for favoring his chances.
McGraw Doesn't Like President
Ban Johnson x
In a recent Interview "Muggsy" Mc-
Graw announced that should th Olants
win the National league pennant they
would not play the American league pen-
nant ' winners regardless of whom they
may be. He Incidentally takes this shot
a Ban Johnson president of the Ameri-
can league. .
"We will not play an American league
team.
"This Is final and absolute sO far as I
am concerned" said McOraw. "I never
talked with Mi- Brush or any stockhold-
ers In our club about the matter snd 1
do not care what the owners say or -intend
to do. I am the -nanager of the club
and 1 guess I have something to say.
"The reasons for my decision ar that
Ban Johnson has hot been on the level
with me personally snd ths American
league management to my knowledge
has been orooked more than once. I in-
troduced Bun Johnson in the East I was
his best friend. 1 made him acquainted
with those who are now bis Intimate ac-
quaintances in the East. 1 played him
square and did not know that he was
the man to frame things up. I hsd th
Baltimore team and put up money from
my own pockets many a time for salaries
once ss much as 17000.
"When Johnson got the league gorng
he thought he could do belter by drop-
ping Baltimore and invading New York.
The method he used to 'queer' me snd
Just st a time when the Baltimore club
was beginning to pay was to suspend
me Indefinitely and otherwise persecute
me by Jobs that he framed up with his
umpires. Finally It got so rank that 1
could not stand It any longer and i
threw up the sponge.
"Well Johnson succeeded In Invading
New York; but any I went him one bet-
ter and took on the National league club
In the same city. Now after Johnson
caused me to lose S6M0 of my own hard-
earned money I have the whip hand.
But my team will huve nothing to do
with the American league so long as I
have a word to say and no Influeno
brought to bear upon me by National
league people can make me change my
mind." -
