Says Celebration
ADVERTISEMENT
For Entire Valley

Brownsville secured a tremendous
amount Of advertising from the
Fourth of July celebration" was the
comment of Thad W. Rodecker, gen.
eral agent Of the J. George Loos
Shows, who was in Brownsville Sat
urday and Sunday.
81 heard about ii up in Central
Texas, and as / neared the border it
seemed TO be the principal topic Of
conversation on the train. One Of
the outstanding features was the
fact that every event was staged at
the time scheduled and there were no
disorders Of any kind. People all
over Texas are commenting upon the
fact that Brownsville entertained
thousands and that only two arrests
were made, both for minor offenses.
THAT is the best advertising a
town can get. American people of
today find no pleasure in a celebra-
ton in which %rowdyism is permitted.
Fortunately there are very few Of
the rowdy class on the border, and
they have sufficient wisdom to keep
under cover. The record Browns
Vile made il not only a credit 10 the
cooperative spirit Of the city but
also attests the high class citizen
ship of the lower border country"
Mr.. Rodecker stated hat he ex-
rected to come to the Valley this
fall. and was here TO make arrange
ments for presenting the shows with
which he is connected at the Valley
Nid-Winter fair at Harlingen.

BUCKY STARTS
PRUNING Tree
OF SENATOR'S
Lisenbee, Last Year
Star Goes; Browns
Defeat Yanks Two
Games; Babes 81
BY HERBERT W. BARKER
Associated Press Sports Writer

Bucky Harris has started house
cleaning at Washington. It's a little
late for such operations but Bucky
probably feels that his Senators can't
do much more
Horace Lisenbee, sensation Of the
league last season, is the first to feel
the keen edge of the official axe cut
ting. The young Highlander, I'M
able to get started this season, was
sent or option to Minneapolis Of the
American association. He won eigh-
teen games against only nine defeats
in 1927 but this year won only two
and lost six. Lisenbee finished only
three Of the nine games he started.
Slight Improvement
Just as the Pittsburgh Pirates are
the big disappointments of the Ma
tional league SC are the Senators in
the American. Along with the Phila-
delphia Athletics, they were picked
to make 1t exceedingly difficult for
the Yankees TO repeat their runaway
triumph of last season. But mid-sea-
son finds the Senators going nowhere
rapidly. There's been slight i'm
provements in the last few weeks but
iiUN GA40QEh u GAGGO4NN a ulc&SLLOUS
start that had the Senators in the
undignified position Of cellar occu-
pants for a while.
Lisenbee pitched the last inning Of
the Senators crushing defeat at the
hands of the Chicago White Sox Sun
day, Is TO Z. He was the fifth SEN
ator hurler to see action and was
no more effective than his predeces-
sors, giving three bases on balls and
three hits u of which the Sox
fashioned their last three runs.
Browns Sock Yanks
After losing seven Of their last
eight games, the st. Louis Browns
came to New York eager for revenge.
They got il. The Yankees took il on
the chin in both ends Of a double
header, 10 to 4 and 3 TO 8. Alvin
Crowder registered his ninth sue
cessive victory in the opener in
which Campbell, Shealey and Thomas
were pounded TO a fare-thee-well By
the Browns. The second game was a
battle Of home runs in which.
strange TO say, the Yanks came out
second best. Circuit drives by Lou
Blue, Schultz and Blaeholder and
BY Babe Ruth and Tony Lazzeri &C.
counted for all Of the eight runs
scored. The Babes was his SIND OF
the season and put him 10 games, IS
days and five home runs ahead Of
his pace Of 1927.
The St. Louis Cardinals pulled
away to a three and a half game
lead over the National league field
by defeating the Boston Braves twice.
Z to 4 and II to 5. Rogers Hornsby
hit his 18th home run Of the season
IN the closing encounter, a smuggling
affray, which gave the Cincinnati
Reds the edge over the fighting Phil
lies, 6 TO 5.
The Chicago Cubs, in fourth place.
dropped back one and a half games
behind the Reds when they bowed
before the puzzling left handed pitch
ing of Jess Petty and an effective
offensive by the Brooklyn Robins.
The score was 6 70 2, Petty granting
only six hits.
