try where they want the bout. Jones

LEAGUE MEMBERS MEET
TO DRAW UP SCHEDULE
iVcparations for Ixx-al Foot Ball Sca
' son Will Be Made at
Representatives of the St. Louis co!-
j lege, West Texas Military academy.
San Antonio academy , and the High
school foot ball elevens will meet this
afternoon at 5 o'clock at the High
school for the purpose of making ar
rangements for the 1911 Academic
league football season.
A representative of the Marshall
Training school will also be present,
and it is more than probable that the
West End Training school will be ad
mitted into the league as its fifth
member. This will be the first busi
ness to be considered by the league
and following this the playing sched
i ule for the season will be drawn up.
The admission of Marshall will
necessitate a longer playing season
than heretofore, and it Is likely that
the first game will be scheduled for
about October 14 and two games each
week would extend the season into De
cember. Opening at this date, which
is about two weeks later than usual,
would give the teams the advantage
of starting the race better prepared
and of playing in cooler weather.
Other business will be the election '
of officers for the ensuing year, the
settlement of details concerning the 1
constitution and by-laws of the league 1
and the selection of the perk which
will be used to play the Barnes at this'
season.
The X- M. C. A. park on River ave

ther than keeping it up. as the league
has an option on it for the football
season, secured for erecting the

TTTE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
LOOK. IWRLS NO-HIT
WK BUT IS DEFEATED
Washers' Pitcher Loses to Stoners,
Although He Im Not Even Located
for a Scratch Hit.
Two red-hot portions of baseball
were served to a goodly sized crowd
of fans who witnessed the double
header between the Washers and the
Stowers team yesterday afternoon at
League park, the result of which gave
the followers of independent ball a
surprise party.
The result in question was an even
break. Washers taking the first. 3 to
1, and Stowers the second, 1 to 0.
It was this 1 to 0 game that Stow
ers gathered In that hurt, as Jimmy
Doran, the Washers’ twirler, pitched a
no-hit article and still lost. His was
a case of pure hard luck with all of
its frills, as a wild throw by one of
his teammates in the seventh allowed
the lone run of the game to register.
Washers in this game connected for
six hits, but Gueldner was invincible
in the pinches.
In the first game Crevenstlne struck
out a dozen batters, while Tracy cut
down nine. But three hits were al
lowed by each.
In the second game the Washers
singled twice in succession in the sev
enth, but the side was retired with
men on bases, due to clever fielding
by Stowers.

GLEANINGS OF
TODAY'S SPORTS
The Cubs closed the gap slightly
in the National league race by
grabbing botW games of the double
header with Brooklyn yesterday,
while the Giants were idle.
C. Smith was the gentleman who
twirled for the Cubs in the first game
and while allowing but five hits he
administered a shut out.
Cheney and Richie were responsible
for the second Cub victory, the
former beipg forced to retire in the
eighth when Wheat hit him on the
finger with a liner and broke it.
Richie finished without allowing the
Dodgers to dfsturb the long line of
zeros that decorated the score board.
The Cubs ran wild on the bases
yesterday, getting a total of ten
steals in the two games. Hofman
got two in each. Artie had his eye
on the ball also, and got three hits
in the first and two In the second
game. He was at bat seven times in
both gafes.
The Cards were unable to locate
Brown in the pinches yesterday, al
though they hit him freely at other
times. The second game was called
at the end of the seventh without
either side having scored. Tyler, the
Rustlers' twirler, had allowed only
two hits.'
Alexander won the first game for
the Phillies yesterday, by the shut
out route, holding the Reds to five
hits.
Suggs was invincible - in the second
and the Reds won easily with
Chalmers pitching to them.
The announcement was made this
morning from the headquarters of
the Southern league at Little Rock,
that from a sportsmans' point of view
the Southern league race was the
most successful in the history of the
league, but as a financial proposition
only two clubs had finished with a
profit, two had broken even and the
remainder had suffered losses.
Baseball has taken its place 1n high
finance and the expense increases as
the game gets faster, while at the
same time the attendance remains the
same and in many instances has
dropped off. .

the attention of the officers of the post

The Eleventh cavalry will make a
strenuous effort to lift the Velie cup

organization they lost in the tourney re
cently, after the Eleventh had wrested
