The season started. San Antonio loat
fourteen straight games and base bits were

The team was wild and quarreling among
themselves. They were certain that some
one had hoodooed them and stopped their
hitting.

How Lap Wat Loat.
The question of the exact character of
ie accident* that put the partners of Bob
by Walthour and John Bedell out of the
six-day race and the reason that Walthour
uud Bedell nro now one lap behind the other
riders In tho big ruce have been worrying
Atlanta enthusiasts.
The reason that the two tlders are a lap
to the bad Is easy. That Is the penalty,
exacted under the rules, when two men
drop out and their partners combine In
one team. As n mutter of fact, neither
Walthour nor Bedell lost a lap. They were
Just penalised that distance.
A careful perusal of the New York papers
does uot reveal for a certainty the cause of
the accident that put Mel.enn out of bn*l-
