.733 San Antonio 15 7 8 .467 Beaumont 12 -5 7 Houston 12 4 8 .333 Errors can be overlooked or forgiven cause the men who make them are trying: for everything, but there is no excuse on earth for assiniiio errors of judgment In professional ballplayers. They are far more a rule, than actual blunders of play, though there is no place for them In the score. Galveston has had 'em a-plenty this year, and many a game has been thrown away by witless haserunners, who, when they reach first base, ought to have someone stand over them with a shotgun or a club until they are batted in by main strength. There was a fine sample of foot craziness in yesterday's gama with Beaumont that lost a fine chance to tie the score, to say nothing of'Winning. As Kaphan was given pass in the eighth inning Schntzke, who had started to steal second, went a bag fur- thsr on McMurray's foolish wild throw.

With big Fred on third it was Kaphan's iihiy to go down to the middle corner on the first pitched ball. When Robb raised his hand "Kap" moved so far off tlrst that the pitcher threw the bull to Bartley and had mm trapped. He didn't move up and down I'ust enough to give Schatzke a chance to get a good start for home, and when Fred rinally in desperation made a break for the plate tho ball beat him there. This made two out, nnd as the third quickly followed, Jt fairly put the Sandcrabs out of tho running as far aa victory was concerned. Pnge should have won his game by all but everything broke badly for-hlm, besides Kaphnn's weird break.

Morris got home run in the first inning. Then with men on second and third in the next round, a curve- ball got away from him and Pollock smashed it for a pair of sactis, bringing in two runs. In the fifth inning Thebo, was hit by a pitched ball and got aroxmd to third on two-bagger. A free pass i the bases. Thebo took too much ground ut third and Gordon whipped the nail over to that corner and got him -by.

iV city block, but that usually reliable player, A i ken. dropped the throw and got tin.error for It. Temporary lack of control then McMurray to first and forced In Theho, Kobb had his usual excellent control, with lot of unlooked-for apeed nnd for five in- nings.th« CniHtareana were, harmless. Hits by Cermak and Snhatzke, a sacrifice by Shelton 'and Kaphan's two-bagger earned two runs. Page's single in the seventh, with Smith's ijclt'-imjnolation and Cermak's two-bagger liroduced the final Sandcrab tally.

There was a lot of good work in the game. Official score: OALVH3TON-- JABJ A Aikeu, 3b Cermak, cf 4 Shelton, Ib 3 Schatzkc. 2b 4 Latham.

Monday Is a poor baseball day here and yosterfiuy's attendance was no exception to the rule Lultlch'8 release cost Beaumont J160, and it IM said the big fellow got a generous slice of that sum. This information Is furnished by Lultlch himself. Cermak beat out a slow roller to Huntev In the sixth Innlnr.

The second baseman objected ao vigorously to the decision that Umpire ICatthewi had to put him OIK of the game.
