TIRE DRESSING

Radiator glycerine mixed with q
little lamp black makes an excellent
dressing for tires. This combina-
ton answers all of the preservation
needs of paint or varnish, 1t keeps
the tires shining black and new
looking and the rubber pliable, and
also prevents the spare from dry
rot.

gen Meeting

ization at a meeting to be held here
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The meeting will be Of committee
menfrom all the ginning precincts in
Cameron county, with some represen-
tatives Of other Valley sections.
Belief was expressed that the price
will be set at rs cents a hundred
pounds, with the pickers furnishing
the sacks. This was the price recon-
mended at the preliminary gathering
OF farmers nc a mass meeting here
last week. The sentiment az that time
was overwhelming against the prac.
tice Of furnishing sacks, most OF the
growers declaring that the sacks are
never returned to them, and that ~
pickers move from one field to an.
other they accumulate sacks. One
farmer at the first meeting said he
found some of his sacks made into a
tent in one part of Harrington.
When the price is set officially BY
the county organization, the precinct
committeeman will at once arrange
meetings in which 10 spread the
word, and to secure the cooperation

TAIL ENDERS
PULL UP IN
JUNIOR LOOP
Yankees Split About
Even Over a Month
Period But Still
Lead by 10 Games
BY HERBERT W. BARKER
Associated Press SnorfS Write,


There's mathematical proof that
the New York Yankees have vet TO
clinch the American league pennant.
But alleged contenders in that cir
cult are coming day by day to the
realization hat it will take a miracle
to head off Babe Ruth and company
from their third successive appear
ance in the worlds series.
For a month the champions have
done little better than break ever
yet they lead the procession by ten
and a half games. Their closest
competitors. the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and the St. Louis Browns
have done no better over the same
period.
Although the Yanks have Won
only four more games than they've
lost during the period, they have in
creased their advantage by one per-
centage point over the second place
Athletics and by 80 points over the
Browns.
The Athletics lost a chance yeSter-
day to cut deeply into the Yankees
lead when they split even with the
Chicago Whitesox while Detroit was
nosing out the Yanks al New York.
Three runs in the ninth spelled vic
tory for the Tigers. Henry Johnson,
the young right handler, hit a home
ran but offset this with no fewer
than sever walks, most Of which were
damaging.
Redfern's single scored Cissell,
who had doubled, with the run that
gave the White Sox a 4 70 3 decision
over the As in the first game. Eddie
Rommel was in good form in the
nightcap and gave the Athletics an
even break on tn day, 5 to 2.
The Browns punched hits off Mac
Fayden in the sixth inning to de-
feat the Boston Red Sox, 3 to /, AL
win Crowder chalking up victory No.
10 against one defeat.
Burns single in the tenth sent the
Washington Senators down TO a ? TO
! defeat at the hands Of the Cleve-
land Indians in a tight pitchers bat
tie between George Ihle Of the In
dians, and Garland Braxton and Fred
Marberry.
IN the National league, the St.
Louis Cardinals increased their lead
10 five and a half games By trimming
the New York giants. IL to 1, in a
five and one-half inning engagement
halted by rain.
Adolf Luque and Ray Moss hooked
up in a pitchers battle at Cincinnati,
rain ending hostilities in the last of
the ninth with the score ted at pre-
cisely nothing for the Reds and the
same amount for the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. Moss gave up only three hits
and Luque six.
Charlie Root shook a seven game
losing streak when he pitched the
Chicago Cubs TO their third straight
win over the Boston Braves. 4 to /.

TEXAS CHASE
is HEIGHTENED
Only z Games Between
Bluffs, Leaders, and
San Antonio
lBv The Associated Press

-
Distance between Houston, leader
Of the Texas league, and San Antonio,
most persistent challenger for first
place, is narrowing rapidly. The
Bears cut the Bluffs lead to one-half
game Thursday by defeating Shreve-
port, / 10 0, while Houston was los
ing TO Wichita Falls.
The Bear-Sport game saw a great
hurting duel between Messenger and
Dickerman, and although victory
went to the former pitcher there was
little to choose between the work Of
the two. Messenger allowed four
hits while Dickerman gave up two.
In the second round, a base on balls
to Chapman followed by Meyers
double accounted for San Antonio's
run.
The hard hitting Of Tut jenkins
combined with good hurting in the
pinches by Spudder pitchers enabled
Wichita Falls TO defeat Houston, 3 TO
2, in eleven innings. In the ninth,
Jenkins tied the score by hitting a
home run with a mar on base, and
in the final frame he parked the ball
again to win the game. The victory
SEN the Spudders back into third
place in the loop standing. Watkins
and Japan tangled in a fistic battle
in the eleventh inning.
Fort Worth continued its drive for
the first division By defeating Beau
mont, 2 to /. and chalking up its
fifth straight win.
After nine straight defeats, Waco
beat Dallas, ID 20 q, in "A gam fea-
tured BY the hard hitting Of both
clubs. The Cubs got IL hits and the

FAIRHAVEN, N. J.. July 13.-P-
Most Of Tom Heeney's preparations
for his shot at the heavy eight

development of his ~southpaw punch
ing apparatus.
His right hand. Heeney is pretty
well satisfied with. He has used It
effectively for years shooting jolt
ing straight punches under the
heart. These body punches have
been the Anzac's best offensive
equipment.
Now he's developing his left hand
50 that il won't feel sighted when
he takes il along with his right, into
the Yankee stadium ring in two
weeks. Heeney has used his left
hand to a great extent. Of course,
in all Of his fights in the country
but there's been little or no dyna-
mite in il. Persistent practice in
sparring matches here are beginning
10 show results. The challenger,
nov has a left hook that calls for
