CRABS DEFEAT
SIXTH STRAIGHT
Indians Rally at Close and Narrow-
ly Escape Whipping by
Galveston
It was si sad lot of ball tossers wlio
left town last night und t the title
of Galveston Sand Crabs. With six
straight defeats credited them and their
leader under suspension, the gulf ag
gregatlou Is In no pleasant frame of
mind.
It required more than a single ef-
fort to capture tho third one for the
Indians yesterday, but they came up
strong In the latter innings and romp-
ed away with the melon, & to 4. It
taxed matters some In the Ughth, but
speedy base running, a needed fly and
tingle's brought In tho required runs.
The orphans outhit tho Indians, but
their errors tool( away any no*««*'o
gain. Speeder MvClintock was work-
ing right yesterday and had the Cruus
a whiffing matters when hits were
needed. It was In the closing innings
that he got himself into some threat-
ening holes.
The Kelseyites followed the cus-
tomary route, getting a lead in the first
two Innings. An error by the Initial
Backer of the visiting council gave
McCormick an opportunity to score a
run when he hit to the fence. This
was iu the second and, with the as-
•Istance of Catcher Wolff, scored a
run. In the fourth Badger again erred
and W. White and Rddle Noyes blngled
resulting In the third and list run for
the localw until the eighth.
While McCllntock was serving good
twisters, his support was of the very
best. On the other hand his oppo
nent ,who was slinging better ball, had
to play the whole game himself, his
teammates forgetting that they were in
a diamond fray. Riley's two sacker
scored Helmund, who got on when
Noyes muffed at third This was in
the openiug session aud things went
along quietly for the six squares—in
tact too quiet.
In the e'ghth, with the score three
to one acainst them the Crabs started
In to tear a big hole in the Indians'
hopes for three straight. Yohe and
Helmund, the first men up, doubled.
W. Cockrlll singled and the W. White
firror .Bradley clapping the climax with
n terrific outfield wallop. This un
expected attack put the enemies in the
locals' gun pit
There was a hurried call to arms in
our half of the same session and some
words of God speed spoken to those
who were up. Licht top Downey walk-
ed for the third time. McCormick poll-
ed a long single, the redhaired one
taking third. D. White knocked the
ball to the outfield and Downey scored.
A hit then settled matters.

To Ho d Championship Wrest-
ling Bout Ihere.
Seattle, Wash., May 5.—Sixty per
cent, of the gate, with a guarante ?
that it will not be leBS than $ 15.000
Is the gist of au offer that has been
received by Frank Qotch to meet
George Hackenschmldt, the "Russian
lion" for u wrestling bout for tho
championship, to b' pulled off In Seat-
tle during tho Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition.
The offer Is made by the manage
ment of the Arena, one of the big at
tractions of the exposition "Pay
Streak," behind which is John Cort,
the theatrical magnate, Cort has erect-
ed on the Pay Streak a huge enclosed
arena, with a seating capacity of 5.000
In It throughout the fair John L Sul-
livan. Jake Kilrain, and other old time
mittmen, Including Charley Mitchell,
will perform and a series of boutB be-
tween the top notchers of the present
day will be brought off.
It is planned to include wrestling
matches and the Cort management is
now trying to sign with such men as
Got oh, Hackenschmldt, Dr. Roller and
tho other good ones. In making an
offer for ' the Gotch-Hackenschmldt
bout the Cort people are entering into
active competition with the Australian
outfit, which has offered a guarantee
gate of 25,000 for the same match.
Waco Here for
Trio of Games
Today th" Waco Navigators come
for three games. Ben Shelton has
rounded up a pretty fast team sine? the
first of the season and will likely
•a-lve the Kelsey hopefuls a better ar-
gument than the Sand Crabs. Young
will b? on the firing line today for the
Indians and posslbl" Ike Copper, the
former Dallas hurler, will work for the
visitors.
SPORTLETS
Hans Wagner was pinched in Pitts
burg for driving his auto too fast. Up
to date the Pirates have violated no
speed limits.
Boston Americans boast that they
will carry four catchers throughout
the season. If they get six shortstops
and seven left-fielders they ought to
win the pennant.
Cincinnati would qualify for the
world series every year if the seaB
ended late In April.
Harry Niles, of Boston, so likes to
•*how his speQd to the crowd that he
passed a baserunner in a game in
Washington. That equals Anderson's
great feat In stealing second with
the bases full.
If Ed K'llian had turned to and done
more hard work of the sort tending to
strengthen enduranc and improve
wind while on the Southern trip, he
would now be in far better standing
with his mates, and there would be far
less talk of a trip for him to the minor
leagues. Ed Is a victim of the world's
series bonus.
Rather curious that there is, Just
now, not an O'Brien in the big leagues
A few years ago there were several
of this redoubtable family in the gama
The Connecticut league scorers are
now practicing the names of a few
players Springfield has its Zavetskey
and Hartford Its Wacob, and New
Haven has a twirier by the nam? of
Resigi.
Vyskocil, the Kansas City player,
will have to sit down. There's nothing
to that Vyskocil name now that one
Wojalewici has joined the Burlington,
Iowa, team.
Jesse Burkett says that his Worces
ter team has a b?tter chance than
ever for winning the New England
pennant. Jesse lias pulled off the trick
three times running, and is going aft-
er four straight championships.
At. the rate Frank Smith is winning
games for the White Sox th's early in
tha campaign, many baseball tans look
for the piano mover to surpass the
wonderful record of Ed Walsh in 1908.
During last year's American League
race Walsh made a record of forty
victories, fifteen defeats, one tie, taken
out once, and finished nine games.
Tho "Texas Cyclone" Arthur Mon-
tour, a wrestler, has open d negotia-
tions with W. H. Barton, manager of
Columbus Dani< laon, looking to a mat
go with the Oklahoman.
Kitty Becker, the popular Shreve-
port i wirier, has aeraln stcrned with
the Pirates. He was secured from
Mobile on a trade.
It looks like the ponies will be run-
ning again at Hot Springs. The Ar-
kansas senate has passed tho race bill
and now It goes to th>3 house.
KNIVES our FOR
UMPS SCHUSTER
Fans, Fairly or Otherwise, Take
Stand A^nst the Indicator
Operator
It seems to be the consensus of op
Inion among baseball fans and local
sport writers that Umpire Schuster
was in error Monday when he severe
ly puuish-d acting Captain Carlin of
tiif Qilvittoo team. Although some
win admit the player might have tax
ed the official with hiB argument and
fuss, yet there seems to be little sent!
ment In favor of tho arbitrator. Of
course, It is natural that umpire, like
all human beings, occasionally will
become riled at little or nothing, and
then be sorry for it after This does
not seem to be the case In this Inci-
dent. however. Schuster sent his re-
port to League President Allen, and
apparently did not say anything favor
able to the player.
The matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated aud a report made wlth'n a
few days. Carlln witnessed the game
from the stand yesterday. The Crab"
surely missed him. for Hadger made
some bad errors in the closlne contest
PmpB Schuster had considerable
trouble again yesterday, although he
did not deem It necesnarv to send any
of the men from the field Both s1d°*
seemed to suffer from his had Judg-
ment. At times the players nearly re-
fused to continue the game and all his
umps did was to stand around and
hold up his right hand in a dignified
manner.
Track Meet With
Baker; Postponed
On account of the absence of sever-
al of the best athletes, Epworth Uni-
versity authorities have cancelled the
planned dual track tneet with the Bak-
er University May 7. The local ath
letlc author ties have named May 10
for the meet and It is likely this date
will be accepted. The action at Ep-
worth was due to the fact that several
of the track men are members of the
band with the boosters party while
some are on the baseball team away on
an extended trip.
Galveston Stays
In Texas League
E. IT. Compton, pan owner of the
Galveston team, was In Oklahoma City
yesterday having a conference witn
the players. Jack Warner lias disposed
of his Interests in the club, a company
being formed to take over the team.
It Is planned thoroughly to re-organ
l7.e th- squad, strengthening the weak
spots and to put the Sand Crabs In
the race. A manneer will be named
when the club returns home.
