WON 2 GAMES

A communication has been received
by Secretary L. B. Shifflett Of the
American Legion amateur baseball
leagu stating that the Lyford entry
had two games scheduled with Rio
Hondo Sunday and instead of one
game being forfeited. two games were
turned over without a struggle.
The Lyford communication states
that the double bill had been decided
upon between the captains Of the two
mines.
Shifflett has entered the new fig
ures on the official league standing
book pending further investigation,
he said. This does not affect the
standings but gives Lyford a boost
from .666 TO .692 in third place. They
have played IS games, won nine and
lost four. Rio Hondo is on the bot
tom with a mark Of 1866 with y
played, ? won and 10 lost.
"A current M gaining romen-
tum is that Los Frcsnos may enter
the league in Rio Hondo's place
should they tire Of FORGETTING games
because Of lack Of players. Los Fres-
nos has a strong amateur nine and Is
somewhat centrally located in the
lower bracket and should make a
creditable showing should they enter
the league, il was said.

lied in order that the field may re-

port, announced Wednesday that

consideration By the commission and
would be acted upon ~fav0rably
within the next few days.
The field az present is practically

which Is said to be extremely heavy.
a plane attempting to land would
be nosed over as soon as its land
ing gear struck the field, il is said.
The impossibility Of a take off
was demonstrated Tuesday when the

tional Air Transport company, bog
ged down as Law attempted to take
off for Tampico. Mexico, to pick up
Eddie S~tinson, pioneer airman and
manufacturer, who was scheduled 70
come to Brownsville to inspect the

Law announced that he had wired
Stinson Of his inability TO take off
from the field and requested tina.
he use a Mexican Always plane and
fly TO Matamoros where a safe land
ing was said 10 be possible. Stin-
son is expected TO arrive sometime
today, it is said.
Under the department Of COM
merce Class A rating, il is necessary
for a field 70 be open TO traffic in
all kinds Of weather, Mauldin
stated, and the failure to gravel the
runways at the municipal field
would automatically bar that field
from such a rating.
1t is planned TO make the field
one Of the finest in the South.
Present plans for the field bring it
up TO all requirements with the ex-
ception Of the runwsys, the only re-

several hours Tuesday afternoon. due
to a breakdown on the Central Pow

handled the additional load without

er end of the Valley an arrangement
was entered into whereby the two
plants would cooperate in the event
Of a breakdown on either line. On
several occasions this arrangement
has provided electric service for con-

Repairs on the Valley electric lines
were completed in q few hours, and
the municipal plant relieved Of the
extra load.
