SAN BENlTO CHAMPS
OF VALLEY LEAGUE

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Aug. 81
San Benito automatically won the
championship of the Valley baseball
league when Brownsville defeated the
Harlingen team here, eliminating that
team from any chance to win the title.
Brownsville's victory Saturday came
after a close pitchers duel in which +.
Leissner, assistant baseball coach at
the University, and former ball player
there, won his first game since he has
been with the Brownsville nine. He
pitched against Duncan, Southwestern
University star.
Wagner of Brownsville is leading
the league in hitting to date, including
the games played through Saturday,
with an average of $40. He held his
fast hitting pace while the other league
heavy hitters, Rodriguez of San Be-
nito and Flynn and Partain of Harlin-
gen dropped off some.
The Valley League will come to a
close Tuesday when Brownsville and
San Benito play on the local field.
After that game a team composed of
picked players will start series of
gamees to be played in the Valley.
This team will play under the man
agement of Art Goolsby, manager of
the San Benito team.

QUEEN
bAGGED BY
POLICE

After repeated efforts to capture
her had been made in vain, "Fuscl
Oil Fanny" the bootleg queen of Gov
eminent Hill, fell into the hands of
the law when officers raided her place
on the Austin road, just beyond the
government reservation, Monday.
Fifteen gallons of wine, 40 gallons
of beer mash and ST. pints of beer
were confiscated.
The raid was made by Lieutenant
Pulliam and Corporal Wisehart of the
Fort Sam Houston military police,
Sergeant Maloukis Of the downtown
military police, and two state prohi-
bition officers.
As they stepped onto the porch Of
the woman bootlegger's house she
slammed and locked the door in the
raiders faces. They forced open the
door in time to see her destroy gal
Ion of whiskey. '
Repeated efforts to catch the wom-
an previously made were invariably
without result. Military officers were
confident she was supplying liquor to
soldiers, but were unable to catch her
in possession Of any intoxicants.
She will be arraigned on federal
charges before United States Commits
sioner r. l.. Edwards.
The raiders dubbed her "Fusel Oil
Fanny" because of the low grade Of
her liquor.

AMATEURS At
OAKMONT
Fownes and Carter Next;
Rain Threatens as
Play Begins.
BY the Associated Press.

OAKMONT. Pa, Aug. 31.-Bobby
Jones, the young Albanian, defending
his crown as king of amateur golfers
over the difficult Oakmont Country
Club course. today shot the first half
of the qualifying round in %, one over
par. He led the morning field, his
nearest opponent being w. G. Fownes
Jr.. of the home club, with Il 76.
Right behind the veteran Fownes
came Kcefc Carter of Ardmore, Okla,
the Western amateur titleholder, with
n. The young Oklahoman. paired
with Jones, played consistent game.
His ability to hold the champion about
even on drives brought much applause
from the large gallery.
The amateurs found the going ex-
ceedingly hard. OF the first 30 play
ers to turn in cards, only five shot
under so. Bob Gardner. the old-timer
from Chicago. had an 81, while Max
Marston of Philadelphia, had to be
content with an 81. Some of the scores
ran up into the nineties. Jones drew
the gallery, and his followers were
well repaid for the trudge in the sui
try weather. His long, powerful
drives, his shots from the fairways,
and his putting were marvellous. While
Carter was finding the traps time and
again, Bobby's accuracy kept him on
the fairways. Jones had IS on the
first nine, one over par. He sank
long putt for birdie four on the
ninth, recovering one of the two
strokes he lost on the third and eighth
holes. Carter made the nine in 40,
having two skies.
Coming in, Jones played sensational
golf on the greens as well as the tees.
He found number Of traps but his
rccoveries were perfect. He had
birdie two, on the short thirteenth ana
birdie three on the seventeenth, max
ing up the strokes he lost on the elev-
enth and sixteenth. Carter likewise
played good game coming. One six
marred his card, the twelfth. He reg
istered a birdie on the fourteenth.

GREAT DUEL THIS.

Wee Eddie Mueller again proved
himself to be ont of the classiest film
gers in this part of the state when
he held the hard-hitting Indians 10
three wcll-scattered hits in the after
noon game. Hicks, also, was invincible
until the Sunsets put the winning run
across in the eleventh frame.
The Sunsets filled the bases with
none out in the last of the ninth. but
Hicks struck out Belts, Pfannkuche
was caught attempting to score, and
Mueller flied out to left. The Indians
threatened to count in both the second
and third innings, but were hated
by fast double plays.
Hicks saw his well-pitched game
go flooie in the eleventh when he
walked the first man and the next
two. Conoly and Wasserman, slapped
out singles. 1t concluded one Of the
prcttiest pitchers battles seen in San
Antonio this year.
