of the contendlng teams. The Giants
were wrecked by injuries and the
Cincinnati Reds were badly handl-
capped by the loss of Bressler IN

championship race.
The Reds are nominated for third

is not likely they will land higher
because the players hardly can be
expected to hit as they did last year
and regardless Of statements made
TO the contrary, the team is bound

The Giants are hard team TO

in the outfield and Travis Jackson at
shortstop for the start OF the season,
the club would have the appearance
Of a pennant winner, but Young is
gone for good and it may be months
before Jackson will be able to play
a hard game. The pitching and
catching stats also could be inn

Possibility Of seeing the crucial

Those same Missionites are sehed-

STANFORD, Texas Rl-The quail
ties which made for pioneer hardi-
hood are being bred into the bones
Of the younger generation Of the
range country.
Children begin at kindergarten
age out here to learn self-reliance,
by being allowed to take part in
grown-up affairs. Every where they
are riding horses and doing the work
Of the range with the coeksureness
Of their elders.
Recently Roy Spries, Jr., 5 years
cid, was helping his father load 20
cars of cattle at Maryneal. The
horse that the diminutive rider was
astride heard the puff of a train and
wheeled suddenly only to see another
train and whirl again. Roy, Jr.
dumped unceremoniously on the
ground. II was a hard fall, but he
climed back on his mount and con-
tinued working, with no word TO his
father.
The lad has been riding since he
vas three, and his nine-year-old sis
ter works cattle like a seasoned
hand. "She has a lot of sense about
CATTLE" her father says.
0. w. Cardwell of Junction has
a family OF seven children, every one
Of whom rides a horse and helps on
the ranch. He puts them on horse
back when they are about 3 years
old and his boys, 8 snd10 years old
now, are playing polo with the cow
boys on the range.
Tommie Smith, 1~O-yenr-old daugh-
ter OF a Crockett county ranchman,
has been riding since she was three,
and for the last year or two she has
been riding range with her father,
who admits she can spot an ailing
sheep as quickly as he can.
In San Angelo a group of young
women who have been riding horses
almost since infancy, have formed

teur polo club in the west composed

JUNIOR TEAM
PLAYS TODAY
Locals VIII Visit Hair.
lingen for Game at
4 O'clock

The local Junior high school foot
ball squadron takes on it's stiffest
opposition of tho year Thursday
when it journeys up to Harlingen for
a game with the Juniors Of that
place. The Brownsville team has
not lost a game or been scored upon
SO far this season., but Harrington
has also been piling up a good per-
centage, and Coach Red Irvine be-
lieves his lads will have their work
cut out for them if they keep their
goal line inviolate.
The Harlingen game was only
scheduled Wednesday afternoon, al
though arrangements have been IN
der way for the past several days.
An attempt is to be made by the
Brownsville coach to take his en-
tire squad OF 20 boys up-Valley for
the contest. They viii leave here
Immediately after school closes for
the day. and will arrive there in time
TO start the fray at 4 o'clock. A
truck and several automobiles are
TO be used to transport the boys TO
the game.
The Harlingen juniors have a new
coach this year, who Is said to have
instilled something more than the
rudiments Of the Rame into his
charges. Hollingsworth is said TO
have done more for the up-Valley
juniors than any coach Of recent
years has been able to accomplish.
Coach Irvine will probably start
his usual first string boys in the
game Thursday, and indications are
that he will keep them there far
longer than has been the case in n
Of the games played here in the past.
The opposition is said TO out
weigh even the regular Brownsville
lineup several pounds to the man,
and with the excellent drilling they
are said to have been receiving, they
70 make things interesting for
the very best talent the locals can
put on the field.

FORT BROWN
wins AGAIN
Local Post Beats Ring
gold Polo Outfit
6 to 3

The Fort Brown polo team took It's
second straight game OF the inter
sectional tournament with Fort
kinggold on he local field Wednes-
day afternoon by a six 10 three score.
The contest was featured by thrill
ing Craftsmanship and daring polo
playing, q far more interesting af-
fair from the spectators point Of
view than was the contest Sunday,
IN which the locals were also VIC
torious.
Brilliant shots and riding BY Burt
and Claybrook, Of the locals and
fesnick and Evans for Fort Ring
gold, time after time brought heavy
o%utbursts OF applause from the large
crowd that turned out for the event.
Ringgold entered the fray one
point 70 the good, a handicap given
them due 70 the presence Of Ctrt.
Burt IN the Fort Brown lineup.
This advantage they retained during
the first period. during which neith-
er team was able 70 penetrate the
others defense. In the scond stanza
the visitors maintained a tie by scor-
ing once while Fort Brown was max
ing three markers.
The third chukker was a blank,
but in the fourth the locals scored
once and IN the fifth added two
more for good measure. The sixth
stanza found the visitors in a hard
rally during the course Of which
they scored once and kept their OPP
ponents on the defense for most OF
the distance.
The play OF Lieut.. Claybrook was
exceptionally outstanding. On n
occasion the local officer carried the
ball the entire length Of the field,
and put the ball in position for Capt.
Burt to make a difficult side-shot
for a goal.
The latter player scored three Of
his teams points during the after
noon, while Lieut.. Carver accounted
for two and Corp. Cornde made one.
Pickett and Yesnick, alternating
Nth each other, accounted for both
goals made by the Fort Ringgcld
team.
The third and final game Of the
series will be played on the post
field Sunday afternoon. The game
Is scheduled 20 start az 3 o'clock,
and an admission fee will be charged

ing space tickets. Capt. Vernon Shell,

The art of interior decoration
finds a wide range for the applicat-
ion of attractive harmOnies' in the
furnishing of bedrooms. You can
either have your bedroom furniture
in the very best of taste or it is pos
sible to give such rooms a most I'M
inviting atmosphere.
Today there is a great vogue for
modern French bedroom furniture
with its pleasant lines and attractive
decorations. If you have such a
French bed and a dresser, there is
available some interesting color
schemes which can be adopted. Two
color schemes are suggested for
this kind of bed.
The first is a design in gold and
yellow high-lighted with darker
shade and striped and trimmed with
russell.
The other is a finish in antique
green trimmed with yellow.
Floral, medallions appear on the
headboard and foot-board.
The dresser must, of course match
the bed and the same color combin-
atoms are suggested for it. Like
