Frank Ponnlly's men scored another
ut-out against the Houston team. Se-
ating tho Buffalo! In a very Interest-
s' tamo by a I to 0 acore. The game
well played and evenly contested.
It' waa In the eighth that Galveston
red the xmly run of the (rame. Ttrsun
led to right but waa fori cd at HeconJ
Garber's grounder to Rom who ic-
ed the l ball to Middlcton. Kaphan
-n drov' a hot one to Tommy Carlin
o. In an attempt to catch Garher at
ond flung the ball out to center field
Gar her kept ort to third scoring a
mem rater on Spencer's single. Great
ttwnent ensued in U1' last half of the
ith when Houston went to hat with the
or 1 to 0 against them and the
miston rooters prayed and begged the
iff aloes to "get busy" and break up
game then and there; but all to no
up for Burch raised a foul fly to
angler. Rose hit a short one to Dundon
io quickly accounted for the second
t and Mowry filed out to Riley. '
arber pitched a good steady game for
Preston and was well supported by his
am not an error being charged against
ra.
Koso pitched a fine game for Houston
lowing; but five hits: but his good
irk waa offset by the four errors of
Buffaloes and their failure to con-
t with the delivery of Garber.

. jrjr. . ':. -
Tb general decisions and rulings of
T'mptra Westervelt hay thus far been
: tua factory.
Not a man reached; third until the sixth
nine and then It was a Sandcrab 8pen-
r th third baseman.
Tha gam will be called today at 4 p.
ana not at 4:30 as waa erroneously
porud of yesterday's game.
Tho Buffaloea made but three hits and
o or the were made by Hub" North-
i who waa at bat only three times.
It Waa a pretty big crowd for a Monday
'vat attended the game and a conserva-
iva estimate would make it over a thou-
Th team seems to have taken a bat-
ing slump for there were only two of
(he men able to connect with the ball
yesterday.
". Joe Mowry' s base running Is still a very
r-rominent feature at every game and
the Way Jo tears around the paths and
station la simply marveloue.
Chartl Mlddleton returned to the game
after ajfn absence of two weeks and gave
a very good account of himself getting
two putouta and three assists at second
baa. . ...t
? BUey of the Galveston team Is certainly
good man in the field. He seems to
play right under the ball -and is alwaya
en tha Job when anything comes out into
. bis territory. . ' v

When 'Umpire Westervelt was struck
full In. tho chest by a fast foul tip in the
Sixth inning he never moved a muscle
and appeared to be the least concerned
of alt to tha incident.

Tha Houston rooters came to life yes-
terday and-rooted very hard in the last
half of tb ninth inning; but their efforts
ere of no. avail for the side was retired
In on two three order.
Rose and Garber both pitched fine ball
yesterday and It was truly a contest of
the slab men: but Charley's team failed
to give him the support to which he was
entitled and in consequence he loet.
Pat JCewnam iompalns of the bad con-
dition of the diamond surrounding his ta-
tinn.mnd in fact around each of the bane.
H said that there is at least four Inches
of loos sand in these sections which
make It difficult to properly field a
ground ball and ats to run bases. His
contention Is supported not only by sev-
eral member of the Houston team but
aim by many of the Sandcrab. A little
n Tinkling of water and a little exerctae
with tha ground roller would not do any
barm.- .v -: ' . .

TEX RICKARD
Promoter Selected as Third Man in the Ring as
a Compromise.
(Associated Press Report.) y
SAN FRANCISCO. May 18.-"Tex"
Rlckard. who is associated with Jack
Oleaaon In the promotion of the Jeffries-
Johnson contest and four years ago en-
gineered the Oans-Nelson fight at Gold-
field was today selected to referee the
battle between the two heavyweights.
This settlement of the difficulty cam
when It looked as it the meeting to se-
lect a referee would end In another dead-
lock and after bitter words had passed
between Johnson and Sam Berger Jef-
frles' manager.
Johnson first suggested Rlckard but
Berger refused to consider the Nevada
man saying he would not accept him op
account of his Inexperience. The colored
champiorrdeclared he would stand pat on
the three men he had mentioned Jack
Welch Eddie Graney and Rlckard and
Berger Indignantly replied that he would
leave the meeting. Then there cam a
further clash between Berger and John-
son In which ugly words were used by
Berger and threats mad by Johnson.
Berger stood up as if to leave the meet-
ing place.
"So you want Rlckard do ybu?" h
queried of Johnson.
"Yes" came the answer.
"Well all right" replied Berger and
the crowd broke Into a cheer as It finally
realised one of th difficult points had
been aettled.
RICKARD MADE 8TATEMENT.
Rlckard maMe th following statement
"To straighten out this affair I am will-
ing to act. providing my nam I agree-
able to all concerned. I do not want to
act and I hope that before th fight taes
place Jeffries and Johnson will agree
on another man. If they can com to
' terms 1 am perfectly willing to step down
and out. But If they can reach no -other
agreement I will not lack down."
In spit of th agreement there 1 a
feeling of mistrust among those who at-
tended th session that th - last word
haa not been said and that sooner or
later the refers question again must be
taken up for consideration. It had been
rumored that to give th Impression
everything la In working order Rlckard
has been named until tho contestant
have further time to look tho field over.
This feeling In fact haa been strength-
ened by the statement of Rlckard.
BERGER LOST HEAD.
Berger during th negotiation lost hi
head completely . and missed many a
chance to Score a telling point. From
the start he ahowed his tamper and to-
ward the close It looked for a time a If
there would be a freWor-all fight.
Just befor the compromise was reached
obeyed. ' A letter from the owner of
th Savannah club of th Bouth Atlantio
league to Farrell notified th secretary
that Savannah must hav th sum of
I 0o for Morris' release. Savannah wrot
Morris at th same time that It would
take that much money to make him a
free agent again. i
' There was no other course left open
to Morris but send the money other-
wise he would hav placed the Pan-
thers In danger of forfeiting every
game which might be . won befor th
tangle could be straightened out.
A formal protest has been sent to
Secretary Farrell- by Morris - which
means that th ' case will be fought.
Morri feel that he haa been done an
Injustice Inasmuch as he . ws led to
believe by Savannah that be wa not
wanted there and would be allowed to
takev up. th game In Texas if he so
desired.. Morri Interpreted the word
as they stood and placed a face valu
meaning . upon them. Then -cam' th '
tiotlc of suspension.
"I feel ur of winning th point In
4h end." he stated last night. "and

TO REFEREE
Berger In an undertone declared "I'll go
over and hit that black man" at the
same time applying' an epithet.
This wss carried to Johnson who
warned Berger never to call him that
name again.
Berger denied he had aaid anything of
the kind but Johnson's followers declared
he did and muttered among themaelves
that if Berger repeated what he had said
he would never leave the room.
"You're Just an educated dog" said
Johnson to Berger. "Now come out and
fight If you want to. HI give a thousand
dollars if you will come right out with
me and box Just three rounds."
They were finally quieted down and th
aesslon resumed.
At the start of the meeting Berger
again named the five men he wanted
Eddie Smith Billy Roach. Charley Eyton
Phil Wand and Johnny Pergetv Johnson
renamed Welch and Graney and said he
would stick to them. He intimated fur-
ther that he would allow no one not even
the promoters to do the selecting for
him. '
All sorts of compromises wer suggest-
ed. Berger said he would be willing to
have the sporting editors of the five San
Francisco papers name the referee or
that he would allow these same sport'ng
editors to act In conjunction with the
twx promoters.
Jeffries Took Things Easy.
(Associated Press Report.)
BEN LOMOND. Cal. May lS.-Because
of extremely hot weather ' Jeffries con-
fined Tils work today to the morning and
devoted the afternoon to fishing In com-
pany with Harry Green of Santa Crus.
Bag punching and handball comprised
the morning exercise. Jeffries perspired
freely and took off something like four
pound.
Jeffries and hi fishing partner did not
return to camp until late this afternoon.
A couple of red blotches that may turn
out to be eruptions of the kind which
set the big fighter back two week ago
rirobably had something to do with his
allure to work this afternoon.
Rickard Suits lie Said Jeff.
(Associated Press Report.) -N
BEN 'LOMOND Cml. May 18. When
word was received at th Jeffrie training
camp that Tex .Rlckard had been chosen
as referee Jeffries said:
"If th report that Rlckard haa been
chosen a th third man in th ting i
true that suits m. AU I want I to see
some good square fellow who knows
something about th gam in eharg of
the fight. I know Rlckard will give me
an even break and that I all J hav ever
asked. I am glad th matter' haa bean
settled so quickly." - ....
