BOYD TWIRLED A NICE GAME FOR
RICHMOND BUT IN THE START"
HIS SUPPORT WAS A LITTLE
OFF COLOR.
Royals 6; Richmond 4.
Not until the twelfth Inning "was
the visiting Cincinnati aggregation,
known as the Royals, able to bag yes
terday's game from the locals at Ath
letic park. The game,, was the "best
of the season and thoroughly enjoyed
by a good crowd of fans. Boyd's
pitching was the distinct feature of
the - game but his support was poor
' at timet and accounts for the visitors
score. . :".T
Ma. the early stages of the game the
play on tthe par- of the locals was
loose, especially so in the infield.
However after, three runs had been
scored by the. visitors, the locals tight
ened up and good ball was played dur
ing the rest of the game. The locals
scored twice in the third and fourth
Innings . respectively. The visitors
scores came, in the third, fourth and
seventh innings,' when one, two and
one runs, respectively, 5 were . scored.
According to the summary, the locals
were outhlt io to 8. but Boyd kept the
hits made off him scattered, the six
errors by the locals assisting Cincin
nati more than the hits. The Royals
erred twice.
The jame teams meet this after
noon, at which time the locals expect
to redeem themselves. Score Sunday:

HYLAND STRIKES COLORS
LAD TOUTED TO BE AS STRONG
AS GIBRALTAR JUST FOLDED
UP LIKE AN ACCORDION IN
SCRAP, SATURDAY.
(By Tad.)
New York, May 31. Battling Nel
son, champion of the world. Not
changed a bit. Isn't even mussed any;
no nicks in it. Still there.
Dick Hyland, the whalebone lad who
was touted to be as strong as Gibral
tar, as rough as the seas and a bear
for punishment, folded up like an ac
cordion and was carried out of the
ring Saturday a sadder and a wiser
lad.
He was the boy who was to trim
the Dane. They said the author was
a has-been. They said that if it took
him twenty rounds to best poor old
Joe Gans, Hyland would get Bat's
number in half that time.
Was a Good Mill.
Hyland did pretty well, at that. He
fought the Dane, toe to toe. for twen
ty rounds and during that time a pil
lowslip might have covered both,
without even a hand being stuck out.
It was one of those gruelling body
blow fights, with punches landing as
fast as a gatling gun could turn out
pellets.
They were wondering whether the
Dane is still as good as he was. No
one can answer that.. He always did
look like a sucker, but he always did
cop. He never was a quick finisher,
The Hyland fight, going twenty-three
rounds, is about the usual route for
Nelson. All of his big fights have
been about that distance.

half of its population dead and wound
ed, nearly every building in the town
demolished and with fire raging in the
ruins, the people of Zephyr, fifteen
miles east of Brownwood, in Brown
county, are in a state of terror, demor
alization and distress today, as a Result
of the tornado that hit the town.
Forty persons are known to be dead.
Six persons are dying and six more are
missing. . It is believed today that the
total number of dead will reach sixty.

Horrible Deaths.
Some of the inhabitants were killed
in a horrifying manner. A fence
picket was driven through one woman's
body. A splinter was driven through
the thigh of Jessie Ware, causing her
death. .
The storm prostrated telephone and
telegraph wires, and news of the ca
lamity did not reach here until a section-hand
pumped a handcar to
Brownwood and spread the alarm.
. A. relief party was organized imme
diately and made the trip to see phy
sicians on the handcar. When the
men reached Zephyr they saw a scene
of desolation. The hillsides were cov
ered with debris of all kinds, intermin
gled with bodies cf human beings and
of animals. The ruins were dimly
lighted by burning buildings.
50 Houses Destroyed.
Nearly fifty houses were demolished.
A three-story stone school building
and two churches were razed. Light
ning struck a lumber yard and started
a fire which destroyed an entire busi
ness block. No effort was made to
fight the fire, as the care of the dead
and wounded demanded all attention.
Many of the houses and stores were
built of stones, but they were demol
ished as if made of shingles.
Hundreds in the country around
Zephyr saved themselves by taking ref
uge in storm cellars.
Most of the Inhabitants were in bed
when the storm swept by and falling
timbers crushed them to death.

it is no wonder as the show is one of
