10 BASEBALL BHONCS ANO NAVIGATORS PLAY CLASSY DALL-LOCALS WIN Slim Attendance Follows Poor Exhibi tions of Previous Days, But They Get the Real Article-Score I-O. The' baseball fans of fan Antonio Ihowed their appreciation of the ef forts (?) of the Bronehos to land at 11m top cf the ladder in the pennant I race when the smallest crowd of the Beason turned out to see the third clash Ibetweea the locals and Waco. When Ithe game started there were less than lore hundred spectators in the stands, (including Fritz Groos, and although a )few more straggled through the gates . after the contest had started, they I teemed lost in the spacious stand. But those who did journey out to the park yesterday were treated to a classy article of ball—the kind that effervesces with excitemen' and Dine playing. There was never a dull mo ment—something unusual on the Elec tric. park diamond during the past •two weeks—and from the start until the • last man nad been retired, there was |the high cla«s brand of baseball on tap. Tn fielding, pitching and every depart ment of he game both teams played right up to toe handle and kept the crowd (?) enthused at all times. The Brones won, 1 to 0, but it was only after they ha.l resorted to every method to gel a runner across the plate that they were able to claim the vic tory. For five innings the spectators had visions of another one of those long, extra-inning contests for both of the pitchers were there with the goods I and had the batter’s guessing at all j B,t[>go« Billiard was the heaver for the Brones j and Vic Miller assumed the burden for the Navigators. Billiard ‘may have pit. hed better games during his career as a twirler but he certainly showed plenty of class during the entire nine innings and only once did the visitors । threaten to score. That was in the I third session when they had men on •second and third base with only one man down, but a bewildering assort men' cf slants sent one of the hitters to the bench while the final sticker was retired on an easy fly to Mclver. Thereafter the Waco team never had a chance to get a runner across the’ 1 pjatc. Tho diminutive slabman of tli?

BRONCHOS WIN 10 CONTEST tempting to pilfer the sacks and he has been far below his standard during the past week. In fact, all of the players seem to be affected alike, that is, with i a few exceptions. Miller's work ranked very little be low that of Billiard, but he was unfor tunate in that two of the hits secured by the locals and one.of the free tickets to the initial sack came in one inning and produced the solitary score. He was found five times for hits, all of them singles, but proved a trifle wild land allowed five batsmen to stroll to first. His support was also fine, the two errors chalked up against his team rot figuring in the scoring of the win ning run. Yantz continued his brilliant work at short stop yesterday and shows con siderable improvement each d«y. He handled seven hard chances during the I session, and two of them came when : men were on the bases, when an error I would have proved disastrous. The lone tally was made in the sixth inning. Stinson led off with a hot ope toward third base which Tullos par tially -topped but could not field. Pen rel flied io right field and with Bland ing at the bat, Stinson pilfered second. Blanding was walked. Firestine lifted I one to venter field, but Sehan was the | , man with rhe Big Stick for he sent a | screamer to center field on which Stin- i | son registered. Blanding took third . on the rday, but Billiard was out on s i I pep fly to right field. The'score: San Antonio— AB. R. H.’ O. A. E.
