TARPON CAUGHT AT GALVESTON
(Largest of the Season Weighed
Nearly Seventy Founds.
Houston Post Sfitcol.)
OALVESTON. Texas. May 25. The
first tarpon of any size was landed by
Gua Hanschke of Galveston. Mr.
Hanschke's prize was a five-root six-
Inch sliver king weighing close to sev-
enty pounds and waa landed at what Is
known as the Tarpon pier. .
At Bettlson's J. M. Felder was the
lucky man to catch one of these game
fish but his catch was much smaller
weighing only a trifle over forty pounds.
The mackerel fishing was also good and
nearly every one out caught good
catchea
The new fishing pier located In the
gulf at the end of Twenty-sixth street
now extends out Into the gulf a distance
of 930 feet and the contractor says he
will have the additlon'al eighty feet of
his contract completed In about ten days.
Yesterday a number of the stockholders
of the company tried out this pier and
caught liberal strings of trout with sev-
eral red fish.

tosh Australian fight promoter who la

M. Porter One of Fourteen for the
Championship Flight at Memphis.
(Associated Press Report.)
MEMPHIS. Tenn.. May 25.-Ellia
Knowles of Pensacola Fla. Eastern col-
legiate champion of 1907 added fjeehi
honors to his golfing record by leading
tha field of star Southern golfers with
a well compiled total of 161 In the 36--hole
qualifying round of the eighth an-
nual Southern Golf association champion-
ships over the links of the Memphis
Country club here today. Knowles waa
forced to do his best to nose out Jack
Edrington of Memphis for the honors as
the local player was close upon the
college younK8ter's heels with a con-
elstent card of 162. Edrtngton played
even more consistent and steadier golf
than Knowles but the collegian's early
rounds were sensational considering the
conditions which were anything but con-
ducive to fast golf. The course waa
soggy from recent rains and two heavy
showers Interfered with the afternoon's
work. Following la the list of fourteen
men who qualified for the championship
fight:
Laurence Eustice. New Orleans: W. A.
Hood Memphis; G. C. Colver Birming-
ham; F. G. Byrd Atlanta; A. H. Mai-
lory Memphis; A. W. Gaines. Chatta-
nooga; Leigh Carroll. New Orleans; R.
G. Bush. Jr. New Orleans; G. D. Ralne
Jr. Memphis; W. R. Tichlnler Atlanta;
W. P. Stewart New Orleans; R. H.
Baugh Birmingham; W. Richardson
Memphis and M. Porter. Houston whose
score was out 40 in 44 (a. m.); out 43 in
46; total 173 (p. m
The result of the qualifying round
gives one of the most representative
fields that has ever contested for the
Southern Golf association championship.
Memphis is represented by five players.
New Orleans by four. Birmingham and
Atlanta have two each and Pensacola
ijnauanooga ana Houston nave one eacn.
Tomorrow will bring out the biggest
day of the tournament. The first round
match play In the championship flight
will be on the case and the 18-hole quali-
fying round open to all golfers In the
Southern Golf association for the four
minor flights. Those eligible to compete
m today's events who failed to qualify
will be eligible for tomorrow's qualifica-
tion although those whose handicaps are
10 or lower must qualify in the first two
nights.
ft is expetced that at least 150 golfers
from all over the South will start In to-
morrow's qualifying round.
BILLIARD MATCH TONIGHT.
Xellog and Gorhan Will Contest for
Honors.
Tonight In the Mission billiard hall
Norman Gorham and W. W. Kellogg
champion billiard players of the South
will fight on the green for the champion-
ship in the 14.2-Inch balk line billiard
game. Both players have been working
hard during the past week and are in ex-
cellent form giving promise of one of
the finest billiard games ever seen in the
South. This Is the first match game to
have -ever been arranged for Houston
and gives the billiard lover an oppor-
tunity to witness a clean-cut game by
experts who have no parallel In the
South. Both Gorham and Kellogg are
top-notch players and are so closely
matched that It la doubtful aa to which
one will prove his supremacy. Gorham
has made 93 on the long rail missing the
93 by a bad roll In the 14 2-Inch game
and It is said that Kellogg has run 100
and better.
In the games last week Kellogg ran
87 with Frank Oliver and it is thought
that he Is once more back In his former
"i-fpeclal provisions have been made by
the management of the hall for the ac-
commodation of a large crowd and the
game will be free of admission to all.
The match will be for 600 points snd will
last from two and one-half to threo
hours. The winner of the match will be
challenged by Frank Oliver erstwhile
champion billiard player of the South.

Houston won tha second straight from
Galveston yesterday In an eyelash finish
In the ninth when they piled up two
scores to the Sandcrabs' one but Captain
Carlln of tha burg outalda the United
State vehemently announced from the
ground and later In Uie press box that
he would protest tha game because an
outsider along tha colored bleachers field-
ed Waatherford'a wild heave and returned
It to the diamond and atopped Qulesser
at third. Protests however from tha
Sandcrablst are unnecessary for reference
to the rulea will show how long his howl
will be entertained In the aanctum of
President Allen at Austin who will give
the game to the winner. The rule In the
1909 official book reads:
Rule 37 section 1 A block Is a batted
or thrown ball that is touched stopped
or handled by a person not engaged
In the game.
Section 2 Whenever the block occur
the umpire shall declare it and base
runners may run the bases without lia-
bility to be put out until the ball has
been returned to and held by the
pitcher In his position.
There Is another section to the rnlo
but It does not cover Carlln's dispute;
but the above printed Is enough to silence
the protests and give the game to Hous-
ton where It belongs.
WHERE THE FUSS STARTED.
It started by Qulesser the new Galves-
ton catcher getting to first In the ninth
Inning. Weatherford the Buffalo pitcher
while sparring with Pat Newnam to put
out Qulesser heaved the ball Into the
corner of the grandstand from which the
ball rolled along the colored bleachers.
Meanwhile Qulesser waa sprinting around
the bags but an outsider near the bleach-
ers recovered the ball and hurled It to
Weatherford In the pitchers box. when
Qulesser reached third. A loud howl Im-
mediately went up from the Galveston
bench the coaching lines and especially
from Captain Carlln who quoted evidently
a long forgotten or antiquated rule and
declared Qulesser should have been al-
lowed to score. Abiding by the rules.
Umpire Proctor took a different view and
Qulesser was held on third while Garber
got a hit and Carlln flew out to Mitchell
shunting Qulesser Into the left on bases
column instead of into the scoring hall
of fame.
It was an eyelash finish Houston hung
onto the game after the wringles of Car-
lln's had been ironed out. Galveston had
scored In the same inning on Hill's error
and things seemed blue around the grand-
stand. But unlike Oklahoma City where
the fans leave the grandatand when the
home team begins to lose the fans tight-
ened up and optimistically called to Pat
Newnam to "Please Mr. Newnam" and
"Bust It Pat" and such loving fan ex-
presBlona Well. ' Pat tried but two
strikes want by and he lammed at the
third and the ball dropped somewhere
out in the lnriem. out Wallace rumDiea
It and Newnam got to first. Kllllfer fol-
lowed but flew out to Hellman after
making a hard try and gave up the ghost
to Hill. Hill was chafing under his fum-
ble of the ball which allowed Quiess-sr
to get to first so when "Peroxide" Gar-
ber finally let go of the ball he busted It
In the vicinity of left field and In a hole
where the unsuspecting Riley was not
playing. Well of course Newnam scored
and Hill raced around to third and the
store was tied. All that remained then
was for Middleton to come through with
another hit which was good for three
bases had he hiked around and Hill
scored and the game was won.
THE BUFFALOES DIVIDED HITS.
Hill's and Mtddlejon's batting were the
features of the game. Middleton. who had
been unable to beat Carlln out of the
position of second base In Galveston was
picked up by the Buffalo management
and sent Into the Infield at second base
vice Short who was watching the game
from the grandstand forced out by an
Injured back. Middleton took revenge
on his former teammatea and awatted
Garber like- he knew him. Both he and
Hill In four times at bat registered three
hits and the last two were winners. But
six hits were made by the Buffaloes and
Hill and Middleton divided them with
Hill taking the long end by his three-
bagger. The same "rawhiding" which was much
In evidence from both benches in Mon-
day's game was again In evidence and
deteriorated much from an otherwise
pretty game. The game was the third one
Weatherford has officiated In and his
third to win one reason why Houston has
the classiest pitching staff of the league.

RAN ANTONIO Texas May 28.
Making a borne run after the bat-
tar Struck out is the unusual fea-
I'ture which characterized todays
game between San Antonio and
Waoo. Flrt Baseman Bastion of
tha local waa at bat and made a
vicious awing at the third strike
and missed the ball which quickly
curved downward and struck the
Corner of the plate. So much speed
did the sphere have that the col-
lision with the rubber caused It ti
bound completely over the grand
stand and Bast lan completed the
circuit before the ball was returned
to the catcher.
Baseball players have no recol-
lection of anything similar ever oc-
curring. After a conference the
scorers charged up the thrown ball
as a wild pitch and under the n&w
rulea also charged up the pltchw
with an error.
Five bom run over the fence
were part of the game Ben Hheltqn

port saved Vlo Miller lots of

IMTN0RU AND SIR MARTIN
Picked for Place Horse in Derby at
Epsom Downs Today.
(Associated Press Report.)
LONDON May 26. The greatest of all
horse races the Derby which will be run
at Epsom Downs tomorrow promises to
be the most lnSereitlng Derby of a dec-
ade. The poesibility of King Edward's
Minora will win the purse of 332250 and
the owner gain the distinction of being
the first reigning monarch to take the
classic event diverts an interest In the
contest that can not be overestimated
In the eyes of the British public. Minora
is now a hot favorite In the race. Al-
though last year the colt was rated first
class he made phenomenal Improvement
during the winter.
His principal opponent Is considered to
be Louis Wlnan's Sir Martin from John
E. Madden's Kentucky farm and which
Is supposed to have) cost his present own-
er 380000. Sir Martin is now in the very
btst of form. He recently won the Wal-
ter plate gt Newmarket and since then
has given every evidence that he will be
In the running In tomorrow's event. tJn-
til recently Bayard Olara upon which
the American Jockey Maher. will ride
was regarded as Invincible having as a
2-year won races easily. Rut he failed
to make the Improvement that was to be
reasonably expected during the last year
and gave a curious reversal of form a
short time ago at Newmarket which sent
his stock way down.
Louvlers ranks third in favor and Lord
Cranavans' Valens is considered to have
a fair chance although Minora beat both
of these horses thla season.
No American stables are represented
among the fifteen entries but the Ameri-
can contingent which promises to be
larger than usual. Is enthusiastic for Sir
Martin while the great British crowd
and foreigners as well will go wild If
the king according to honored custom
should lead the winner past the stand.

Up Affairs.
(Houston Post Special.)
BEAUMONT Texas May 26. That the
proposed spring race meeting of the
Beaumont Racing association has been
called off and that the racing association
would at once dissolve and wind up Its
effalrs was asserted by Secretary F. M.
Yost of the racing association on return-
ing from Fort Worth where he went in
the vain hope that the managers of the

ton will continue its meeting through till
June 12 after which racing of the pres-
ent type will be a thing of the past in
Texas. Mr. Yost says that the directors
of the Houston Jockey club are solely
to blame for the Beaumont association
having to abandon the meeting.

are to be held at the Beaumont Driving
park on Saturday July 3 and Monday
July 6. as a Fourth of July celebration.
