After a lay-off of one day the Sau Antonio Bronchos will get into action again this afternoon when they tackle the Oklahoma City outfit. The latter team will play a two game series and will be succeeded by Walter Morris’ aggregation of pennant chasers. Since the change in the ownership of the club, the Indians have been play ing fast ball and they will make the Brones step some to land in front in the games to be played here. But the locals are traveling along at a fast clip; in fact, faster than at any other time this season and are prepared to meet the stiffest opposition. They are hitting the pill hard and tiftiely, as their victories over Galveston prove and with the pitchers in fine condition, will force ail of the other teams to play to the limit for a victory. In the game this afternoon Blanding, will be on the mound for San Antonio, while it is more than likely than Man ager Andrews will send Southpaw Bandy to the firing line.

The usual flock of world's best base ball teams are making the rounds of ► the sporting pages at this stage of tl.e [ heated controversies in the two big : leagues, and here is my pick: Bresnahan, catch. I Hal Chase, first base. ’ La joie, second base. Wagner, shortstop. Lord, third base. Speaker, center field. Cobb, right field. Magee, left field. Mathewson, Mullin and Johnson, ; pitchers. John McGraw, manager. Now for the reasons: Bresnahan I pick for the backstop position because of his undoubted gen- , eral all around worth. Bresnahan is a fighter, a good man on the defense, and a splendid offensive player. Street of I ■Washington is mighty good. Archer and I Kling of the Cubs are classy, McLean is ( I good but erratic, Billy Sullivan is out' of the game, and I don't see any other backstops in the big leagues who class | with these. Bresnahan in my mind is She greatest catcher in the game today. I The wonderful showing Hal Chase has j i made with the Yankees this year gives I I him the call for first base. Chase is I not only a wonderful fielder but he has I the knack of getting the timely hits and is a steady slugger. He is away out in I front of the other first sackers in either hr leaeue.

SAN ANTO NIG LIGHT AND GAZETTE FRITZE AND DUNHAM TEAMS DIVIDE SERIES Edited by FRANCIS C. RICHTER. Jr. All-Star Ball Team Chance of Chicago, Konetchy of the Cardinals, Stahl of the Boston Ameri cans, are other classy first sackers, but they don't compare with Chase. Lajoie is still king of second basemen and he is batting better this year than ever before. The big Frenchman makes plays there in no other second sacker in the gt.me can make, and does it ■ asily. In my mind he is the king of them all. Evers of the Cubs, Gardner of Boston Red Sox, Doyle of New York Nationals, arc classy second sackers, but Lajoie has something on them all and he would fight just as hard as any member of a team of scrappers. Al Bridwell of the Giants is next to Wagner in my opinion. He is a splen did batter, always well up the first flight, a good and darin b se runner, and .strong in the field. He gets them on either side and I think he is better than Bush of Detroit, Tinker of the Cubs. Doolan of the Phillies. Turner of Cleveland or Mcßride of Washington, Wagner of course is a wonder.

SAN ANTONIO CLUB HOLDS MEETING AND SMOKER eraeker jack third sacker, who knows all about inside ball, is always plan ning some new stuff to spring on his opponents and he also is something of a sticker. He looks like the best of the lot to me. Speaker of the Red Sox. Cobb of the Tigers ami Magee of the Phillies. Be lieve me, what this trio would do to op posing pitchers would be sinful. Each man is a .300 or letter hitter, a good base runner and a grand fielder. They’ are the Class of the two big leagues. The pitchers also r/feed no defense. Mathewson is as good as ever, the same applies to Mullin, and lots these vet erans out, because any baseball fan knows how good they are when they are right. Walter Johnson is about as good a pitch r as ever fooled a >atter. John McGraw is the ideal 1 ader for such a bunch. McGraw is about the brainiest man in baseball, and what he would do with a team of quick thinkers and heady ball tossers such as 1 have picked would pretty near make baseball history. M LIST!
