BOTH DESTINED TO BE
GREAT.

Under the caption. "A Tale of Two
Cities" the Corpus Crony publishes
the following very sensible and well
considered remarks upon the future
of Corpus Christi and Brownsville:
THE fact that Corpus Christi has
been selected as the place of meeting
for the Next Waterways Convention
means more to this city than the
gathering here of a few hundred peo-
pie for a few days. It is of vastly
more Importance than would be a
score of ordinary conventions sched-
uled for the coming year. The latter
would mean few thousand dollars
gained nothing more. The coming
of the Waterways Convention means
that deep water at Corpus Christi
has become a national issue-th that
Corpus Christi has been thrust square
into the faces Of congress and the ma
ton as the point of greatest effort in
the immediate future. 1t means that
Corpus Christi's manifold advantages,
her proximity to the Panama canal,
her accessibility from the great
Northwest, have at last been recog-
nized in full. It is pregnant with i'm
port that it takes no discerning mind
10 see in it the greatest event thus
far in the history of Corpus Christi.
Especially would The Crony Iaud
the work of Judge Noah Allen Of
Brownsville Judge Allen sees the
community of interest uniting his
own city and Corpus Christi. as all
should see it. There should be none
save a friendly rivalry between the
two cities. Each is clearly destined
TO become one of the important cities
of the Southwest. but each will de-
velop on lines different from the 9th
er. The surroundings of the two cit
les, their aims, aspirations and needs
are different. Judge Allen has shown
the proper spirit-Our people should
and will reeiprocate and each city aid
the other in all public undertakings.
In saying this The Crony by no
means loses sight of the fact that
Brownsville also has deep water as
pirations. aspirations destined to be
realized in the near future. But there
viii even then be no conflict of inter
est between the two cities. Nature
has marked them to dominate differ
ent territories Corpus Christi. as
port, will serve the Northwest and
Northwest Mexico; Brownsville will
be the entrepot of the Valley of the
Rio Grande. territory rich beyond
compare, and large section of
Northern Mexico. a land of tropical
richness, destined to progress in a
measure with this side of the great
river.
sThen let the two cities, thrice
blest by nature. work side by side
rivals, but only in generous emuIa-
ton in the quick. perfect development
of the wondrous resources with which
each has been endowed.

UNION FARMERS WERE
 GUESTS AT MeGEHEE'S
DelightfuI Day Was Afforded by the Hospitality of the McGehee
 Nelghborho0d.

one of the most delightful barbecues of the summer was given at McGehee's Wednesday to members of the Farmers Union and a number of invited guests. A business meeting of the Farmers Union of Montgomery County was held in the morning, and 1t was expected that there would be an interesting pro- gram of speeches, but 1t was found im- possible to carry out the program.
 Messrs. s. A. Dent and Thomas J. Hall, candidates for Congress. were present, but they made no addresses to the assembled crowd. It was purely a social occasion. the center of which was the meeting of the Farmers Union. Special guests of the day were the members of the Montgomery County Board of Revenue, who made the trip over the fine roads in an automobile.
 Those who attended were experts in barbecues, for Montgomery County is the true home of the cue, and these ex" perts pronounced the dinner and en' tertainment one of the best they ever saw.
 President Charles L. Gay of the Farmers Union announced that there would be another rally of the union on August l9 at Showdown, at which there would be present Hon. J.. w. Relsoe, Vice-President of the National Union. Dinner will be served on the grounds on that day.

KIBOSH FOR
 SEA GULLS Big Guese Put on
 Kalsofnine. RAGGED FIELDING OF GULLs Luck, Too, Was Against the Clan
 of Fisher. Pitcher Torrey Had Little Encourage ment from Team Mates, while Climbers Were weIl-oned--
 Circus Catch of DsIy's.

Admirably steady in pinch es and with splendid control. whitey Guese had the Seagulls going yesterday and with the help of swift. systematic baserunning on the part of his team mates, shut the Mobile bunch out in the first game of the series by score of { to ..
 Guese had everything-good speed, control and the perfect confidence that spells win every time. He had break of the tribe of Fisher and only twice did he give a base on balls. Woodie Thornton in the third and McIver in the seventh drawing them. neither of them noon only three clean hits were made off him, Sabrie getting one in the second inning, Daily one in the sixth, and James one in the seventh. Ben was very questionable and one of the same nationality in the sixth.
 Torrey worked a game. that had the Climbers helpless as far as hits were his own game, the lightning work of the home folks on the paths coupled with some off color work of the men backing him up piltng up the Mont ters, but gave four bases on balls and hit a couple of batters, two of his bases on balls and one of the men that he plunked registering.
 Had Torrey had good control and good support the game would have end ed to in favor of the locals, that run coming in the third Inning on 8 base on balls, stolen base and the only getting that. Only two hits were made off Torrey, RockenfIeld getting a scratch in the second inning and Reagan clean hit in the third. Pret- tty fast ball was played by both teams the sixth inning, when Daley ran back to the club house in left field and pulled down a long drive of Pepe's that looked a pipe for three bagger and possibly a home run.
 How The Runs Scored.
 Persons walked in the first inning, was sacrificed by Hopkins and got to third on 2 passed ball, Reagan hit q a beautiful throw to the plate, which would have held Persons on third, but the ball struck something at the plate and bounded back to the grandstand.
 There were two down in the third. when Hopkins drew walk, stole second and counted on Reagan's drive to left. the only hit of the game.
 sixth that the third baseman of the Gulls made horrible throw to Saprfe, Reagan getting to second and being sacrificed to third by Greminger. Per the latter made plucky stop, but threw wild to Garvin and Reagan scored, making 1t 3 to 0.
 Hart got one of Torrey's fast ones in the ribs in the seventh and was sacrificed by Guese. Then Torrey hit Persons in the side. Torrey struck out Hopkins and 1t looked as if he was go- ing to emerge from the hole runless. Reagan drove one at Sentell that was pretty warm The latter fumbled ir and the ball bounded off to the left Hart getting over the plate with tally No. l.
 Nothing more was done and the game wound up that way. The score was:

 For the last two or three days there has been a runnor that the New York Americans were after Benson, the lo- calls third baseman, and little Gordon Hickman who has been striking out some of the heaviest hitters of the Southern League.
 Harry Hartwell. vice president of the Mobile Association, said this even ing that such negotiations were un- der way but they had not as yet been perfected. When pressed he said that he would not be in the least surprised to see these players with the Gotham aggregation next season.

A FEW FOUL TIPS

Hats off to Ed Greminger. The big fellow is not only playing swell first base but seems to have injected great sluiees of ginger into tRe team.
 Jimmy Ryan gets back today and he will receive a warm welcome from his friends in Montgomery He will ind things in lots better shape than when he left the team after he and Presi- dent Chambers had done everything that could possibly be done to make are ali going strong and the team is working well, hitting good and running bases with a snap that will land a big majority of the games from now till September.
 Nice one handed Catch Guese made of Daleys pop fly in the first inning.
 Torrey would have got out without a run in the first inning if the ball that Thornton threw had not had bad bound and got by Lee Garvin as the next man was down on fly.
 Hopkins made a great stop of Sabrie's hit in the second inning The iii was between left and center and looked good for two bags Hopkins running over ana hold!ns SAoFle on first.
 Archie Persons made a nice catch of Garvin's fly in the third and after Thornton had walked and tried to steal. Hart threw him out easily.
 Rockenheld made a stop of a hit of Torrey's in the fifth that looked an easy single.
 Guese had Thornton struck out In the sixth but the umphs didn't see it that way. /
 With one or two exceptions the en- tire Mobile team backed up third base after Bensons throw in the sixth to head off a possible wild throw by Sabrie.
 Atlanta dropped another one. More ball players heads are trembling oyer there. Looks like a nose finish be-
