FINAL
EDITION
I'm OUR
VALLEY

THERE'S ANOTHER side TO this
cotton trucking proposition to the
port of Corpus Christi.
Who's going to pay for damages
TO the highways because Of heavy
loedings?
Cotton buyers who are shipping to
Corpus Christi and saving some
fifty cents in comparison with the
rail freight rate. are the principal
beneficiaries from the saving, it is
claimed, although some may be pass
ing the saving to the farmer.
A truck and trailer may carry
from twenty-five to thirty-five bales
of cotton.
That's a load of about $1,000
pounds, not including the weight OF
the truck and trailer.
OF course, If the roads are dam
aged more than ordinary by these
weights, the taxpayer who builds the
roads will pay for the saving Of
fifty cents a bale-or pay more than
the saving.
AND ANOTHER THING. Motor
lists are complaining that drivers
of trucks loaded with cotton bound
for Corpus Christi, are "hogging'
the road.
Complain that because of their
heavy loads they dislike to turn off
to the side OF the road-sharing the
pavement.
One travelling man said he met a
cotton-loaded truck. The drite- did
not seem inclined to move over and
allow a share of the pavement.
So the travelling man topped his
car on his side Of the road, opened
a door and prepared to jump.
He was determined to see his car
90 into a bad smash IL necessary in
maintaining his right to part of the
roadway.
However, he got his share Of the
road
THE ROADS in Cameron and Hi
dalgo counties probably can with
stand the strain OF these extra
heavy loads.
Whether the gravel and caliche
roads encountered from the south
Brooks county line to near Riviera
in Kleberg county, can withstand It.,
is not so certain.
And IL Is also quite probable that
state highway officials alTeady are
giving consideration to the situa-
tion.
A BROWNSVILLE newspaperman
declares he has achieved an ambition
that he has nourished since bare
foot days.
Years and years ago il fell to his
lot, back at the old home, to engi-
neer the family lawn mower.
Finishing the work, he was forced
10 use rakes or brooms TO get to-
gether the cuttings.
Next door there was another boy.
This boy was the official lawn trim
mer of his family. But this boy s
grass cutter was equipped with
basket. When the basket filled, Il
was emptied in a pile. No lawn
currying for him.
So he was the envy of the boy
whose mower had no basket
The Brownsville mans ambition
was realized Just the other day. He
went into a store and bought him
self a basket. which he attached to
his lawn mower.
Now he's the proudest man in his
neighborhood. None Of this sweep
ing up of cuttings for him. no sir.
He just empties tire basket into q
pile. and wishes that neighbor boy
back at the old home was around.

St. Louis Browns Take Double
Header from New York
Yankees; Babe Ruth Gets
32nd Home Run; Chicago
Cubs Set Back by Jess Petty
By HERBERT w. BARKER

Bucky Harris has started a house
cleaning at Washington. It was a
little late for such operations, con-
sidering that the major league sea-
son is past the halfway mark, but
Bucky probably feels that his SEN
ators can't do much worse.
Horace Lisenbee, sensation of the
league last season, is first to feel the
keen edge Of the official Ak cutting
him off the Washington payroll. The
young Highlander, unable to get
started this season. was sent on op-
ton yesterday to Minneapolis of the
American association. He won eigh-
teen games against only nine de-
feats in 1927, but this year he's won
onlv tv'- and lost six. Lisenbee fin
ished only three of the nine games
he started
just as the Pittsburgh Pirates are
the big disappointment of the Ma
tional league. so are the Senators in
the American. Along with the Phila-
delphia Athletics they were picked
to make it exceedingly difficult for
the Yankees to repeat their runaway
triumph of last season. But mid
season finds the Senators going no.
where rather rapidly.
Browns Beat Yankees
After losing seven of their last
eight games the St. Loui. Browns
came to New York town eager for
revenge. They got it. The Yankees
took it on the chin in both ends of
doubleheader, 10 to and to 8.
Alvin Crowder registered his ninth
successive victory in the opcner. in
which Campbell. Shealey and Thomas
were pounded TO q fare-thec we'll by
the Browns. The second game was
a battle of home runs. Circuit drives
by Lou Blue, Schultz and Blacholder
and by Babe Ruth and Tony Lazzeri
accounted for all of IT,. eight runs
scored.
The st. Louis Cardinals pulled
away to a three and half-game
lead over the National league field
by defeating the Boston Braves
twice, to and IL to s. Rogers
Hornsby hit his fifteenth home run
of the season.
Callaghan's triple with the bases
loaded in the ninth gave the Cincin-
natl Reds the edg: over the fighting
Phillies, 6 to 5.
The Chicago Cubs, in fourth
place, dropped back on and half
games behind the Reds when they
bowed before the puzzling left
handed pitching Of Jess Petty and
an effective offensive ly the Brook
lyn Robins. The score was 6 to 2,
Petty granting only six hits.

Chacon Is Star
Pelayo Chacon, taciturn Cuban,
was the outstanding man on the dia-
mond yesterday, getting six hits in
seven trips to the plate in the two
seven-inning games. Akers, short
stop, hit safely four times in his
seven trips. The Giants gathered Is
hits off the two Bismarck hurlers,
Doc Love and Jack Gesellchen.
Babe Mohn was Bismarck's best
swatter, getting four hits in eight
journeys to the platter. johnson Sc
cured three hits in six trips while
Captain Eddie Tobin crashed out
three in seven attempts.
! The Giants erred once, Sharp
throwing wild to first base in the
second game attempting a double
play. Bismarck rang up four err
rors in the first and three in the
second.
Grays Open Scoring
Bismarck started scoring in the
first inning of the first game, Tobin,
Nagel, and Johnson hitting safely in
order. Tobin scored on a fielder's
choice. But the Giants punched
three hits off Love, one a double,
with two Gray errors to score three
in the second. They went wild to
score four in the seventh with two
bingles and two more Gray errors.
The Chicago negroes started with
three runs in the first inning of the
second contest, three singles, a base
on balls, and the fifth Bismarck
error Of the day being responsible.
They scored again in the second.
They rested scoreless during the
third and fourth frames preparing
for a five-run rampage in the fifth.
Three successive singles, two dou-
bles, a triple, sacrifice, and an
other double off Gesellchen in this
inning tell the story of the nine bat
tiers scoring five runs in the frame.
Boardman Hits Triple
Sims might have been credited
with another shutout this season had
not Charlie Boardman whacked the
ball over the string of automobiles
in the outfield for the longest swat
OF the season on the local diamond
IN the sixth canto. Nagel and John
son were on the bags. Charlie could
only make triple out of the home
