SAN BENITO GUSTS
HARLINGEN'S TEAM
FOR VALLEY LEAD

BROWNSVILLE, Aug. %. - For
the first time since the Valley base
ball league was organized and started
its final season, about a month ago,
Harlingen has dropped out of first
place.
The Harlingen team went back to
second place in the game at that city
Thursday. when San Benito went up
and administered q 2-to-0 defeat to the
Harlingen nine, Faustino being the
biggest factor in the game.
This young ball player hurled 0
sterling game for the San Benito nine,
allowing Harlingen but four hits. A
few days before he held Brownsville
to five hits, and won for San Benito.
Harlingen is now second in the
Valley league, and Brownsville is in
third place, several games behind the
leaders.
Don Flynn, Harlingen outfielder
and formerly with the Texas Associa-
ton, is still leading the league in bat.

Valley above the 400 mark.

MAX CAREY SPEEDY
AFTER Is SEASONS

Max Carey is an outfielder who has
been specializing in speed for fifteen
or sixteen years.
He has been the best base runner
in his circuit for at least ten years.
We recall rumors dating some years
back that Carey's hard base running
would soon wear away his leading
asset and take away his swiftness.
After fifteen years one is supposed
to slow up stride or so, but If Carey
has broken to any extent the break
age is not visible to the naked
eye.
So far this has been Carey's great
est all-round year, and no small part
of Pittsburgh's pennant pace has been
due to a veteran who was romping
around when Matty and Wagner were
in the main scenes of the day.

HORNSBY PEER
Of EVERY
BATTER

No less authority than John T.
Sheridan, the veteran baseball writer.
declares that Rogers Hornsby, mana
ger of the st. Louis Cardinals, is the
greatest batsman OF all time.
Sheridan argues his point with calm
ness and cold logic. He had seen and
known and admired all the old-time
famous ones-Anson, Delehanty, La.
joie, Wagner and Crawford. He con.
siders the Ruthisn age. He sets forth
the strength of the half-dozen hardest
hitters and also the weakness Of
Hornsby, and yet still is forced TO the
conclusion that the Cardinal second
ssckcr is the premier batsman Of all
time.

Rudy" Weyel, twice victor over the

attempt to make it three straight and
to put his Samsco Maehinists further
out in front in the intermediate League
race when these teams clash at 2

Weyel will be opposed on the mound
by Gus Dwyer, ace finger of the Fliv-
vers, who was the main cog in their
successful drive to the championship of
the first half of the season.
SUFFERS SLUMP.
Jordan-Ivers looked like the class of
the league and had a big lead when the
season was-split, but suffered mean
slump during the first month of the
second half. The Samscos showed very
little during the first half but have
played brilliant ball to go into the lead
thus far in the second half.
Sundays game between these two
clubs should give a good indication as
TO the eventual winner of the league
championship, as the Samscos will
show what they might do in a play
off series with the Flivvers.

Immediately following the Samsco-

$500 on each share sold.
III. The Bankers Shares" are not
shares in any Ford Company; they
are certificates issued against the

Proposed Amendments
To State Constitution

Columbus, O,-Although it is only
about 90 days until the November
election when important amend
ments to the constitution will be sub
mltted to the voters of OhiC, very lit
tie is being said about some of these,
and voters will be expected to use
their own judgment without much
argument either pro or con when they
enter the polls.
One of the amendments would ex-
tend the terms of the governor, at
torney general, secretary of state
and state treasurer from two to four
years. The state auditor is now
elected for the four year term and
efforts are to be made to make the
terms of all state officers expire at
the same time, or the even year be-
tween presidential elections.
Another important amendment is
that which would remove automobiles
from provisions of the uniform tax
rule where they have rested with pei
Sonal property. 1t also would provide
the legislature with power to enact
laws for the taxation of intangibleS.
Another proposal would enact a
new section of the constitution stat
ing that no bonds, or certificates of
Indebtedness shall be issued by any
political subdivision for current op-
Grating expenses or the acquisition or
construction of new property having
an estimated usefulness of less than
five years. 1t would further allow
passage of a law authorizing borrow
ing for a period not to exceed six
months in anticipation Of collection of
revenue in and for the current fiscal
year in which the Indebtedness is in
Cured for extraordinary epidemics
