When it comes to losing streaks.
Burt Shotton's futile Pills can give
any team in the National league. in
Guiding the Boston Braves, aces and
spades and still have better than an
even chance Of victory.
No other club in the circuit has
developed 70 such a degree the diff
ficult art Of kicking away ball games.
When the Quakers bowed to the
Cardinals at St. Louis Friday 5 20 4,
It marked their twelfth consecutive
defeat, eight Of them, including the
last three, by one run.
This streak Of reverses is the most
successful the Pills have been able
TO engineer this season. Previously
ten was their best losing effort. The
Braves aren't so far behind at that.
for they've lost ten, eight and seven
straight at various times during the
campaign.
Six games to the rear Of the lead
ers, the New York Giants moved into
second place BY taking over the Chi
cago Cubs, ! to 3. The Clan McGraw

nings when Pat Malone, former Amer
lean Association strike-out king,
weakened. Larry Benton, who had
finished eighteen az the twenty argu-
ments he's started this season, was
removed for a pinch batsman in the
seventh, and Faulkner was credited
the victory.
Red Lucas made the Braves jump
through hoops all afternoon as the
Cincinnati Reds eyened the series.

The Philadelphia Athletics may not
be able to make much OF an impress
sion on the lend the New York Yam
KEGS have amassed in the American
league but at least they've demon
strated their ability to stave Of the

WOMEN

Continued from age one)
In the future. And ! will bring il
70 the attention OF members Of the
Women's Chamber Of Commerce. and
am sure that they will use the VAL
ley potatoes" she said.
Just as Good
Mrs. J. Scott Brown, wife Of the
mayor Of San Benito. and former
president Of the Parent-Teacher as
ISOLATION Of San Benito, said that she
uses only Valley potatoes. and that
she would get in touch with other
members Of the Parent-Teacher or
ganization. The president Of the or
g%anization is out Of the Valley now.
Mrs. Brown said that the Valley pota-
toes are Of as good quality as those
shipped in from California.
Mrs. Fl. b. Livingston, president Of
the Athaneum club in San Benito,
said she had not known previously
which potatoes were from the Valley,
and which from California, but that
she would Immediately get in touch
with members Of the club. and ask
them 20 use Valley potatoes. II am
sure as soon as the members Of the
club have been apprised Of the facts
that they will all use the Valley pro
duct Mrs. Livingston said.
To Pass Word Along
Mrs. Earl Reed. retiring president
or this club. also agreed that the
members would use Valley potatoes,
and said that her husband Il a ship
per and grower Of Valley potatoes.
Mrs. Mary Moses. secretary Of the
Retail Merchants association at Har-
lingen. declared that she has always
in the past picked Valley potatoes.
and would not only continue 10 do 50.
but would include mention Of il in
the next bulletin Of her association,
and would spread the word about in
the city. encouraging the use Of Val
ley potatoes.
Mrs. q. X. Gilbert. assistant sec
rotary. said that she would also do
likewise.
To Learn Valley Spuds
Indications are that the use Of
Valley potatoes Is spreading as the
word passes on that California po-
tatoes are competing with them. One
restaurant man in San Benito said
that he buys only Valley potatoes.
He has been buying no others since
he opened. He n being supplied BY
q Los Fresnos farmer, who saved
over potatoes and Is now realizing
q profit on them.
The entire matter seems 10 ~
merely one Of education. Most or
the women in San Benito and Harlin-
gen buy the potatoes which appear
best. They do not know in many
cases that the Valley Is meeting Cal
ifornia competition in the local gro
Gerry stores. All Of them who were
questioned on the matter said that
they would Immediately investigate.
and in the future would buy only
Valley potatoes.
