urging each local committeeman to
formulate their plans and start

DO you realize that there was
not a single automobile accident,

attending the celebration was avail
able for the press?" he questioned.
According to men in charge Of the
celebration, every responsibility
placed upon the boys was faithfully
discharged.
In an appeal to the public, Mr..
Ludden added, the work at the
airport was carried on by three
troops Of the Brownsville district.

has twirled the Brooklyn team
into a respectful standing in the
National league. The dazzler is
getting on In years now, but is
none the less effective. He wants
$4,000 for his services this year:
he has been offered S22, 500. Man
ager Robinson wants to accede to
the rightful demand, he believes,
of Vance, but the office moguls of
the Robins can't see it that way.
Who's in a better position to know
what a pitcher Is worth-the pres
ident or the manager? Vance is
n of the biggest drawing cards
in the National league, that for
the stiff-collared office; he is one
of the greatest pitchers Of this
day; and of course, wins, too.
Heinie Soluble. the gallant little
shOrtstop Of the San Bento team of
1926, and now with the Detroit Ii
gers, is making a strong bid for the
regular shortfield berth. In a re-
cent announcement by Bucky Har-
ris, the manager, Heinie's name ap-
peared in the seventh position on
the regular roster. We hope Schu-
bic makes the grade. and eventually
becomes a star major Lacquer.

George Ogden, Harry Hollon, Car

ano Garcia, Born Brooks, John AL
exander, Jack Sloan, HARDWOOD
Smith and Derrell Carter. Out of
these prospects Coach William E.
Morrison hopes to have a winning
team.
Infield Looks Good
The pitching assignment will
probably be turned over to Hork-
man who played third base last year
and proved to be a performer Of
real ability. This makes Horkman's
fourth year as a Greyhound.
In the infield Morrison promises
to have a crack inner defense. The
catching assignments will probably
be between Adamson and Hollon
both of whom are real hustlers, and
p~racticing hard each day. They may
also see some service in the out
field. Lebowitz will probably be
shifted to the outer garden to boil
ster one Of the pastures. Second
base will be held down by Murphy
who proved to be a natural ball
player. At third, Hewitt, a new
cover, will be placed, and he looks
good in practice.
Taylor who saw service at short
stop last year is back again and
will hold down that position.
In the outfield McWilliams, Roberts,
Smith and Sloan will be used con-
siderably.
There is a lot of baseball interest
in the high school here; the players
are eager for the season to start.
Last year the Greyhounds, champs
Of Cameron county, were beaten by
Mission for the Valley title.

Andy Reese, who may Or may not

right. But the ball sailed over the

He had to take a lot of kidding.
The Philadelphia Athletics were
without the services Of Jimmy
Dykes, veteran second baSeman. to-
day. He was injured in yesterdays
tilt with the Phillies at Winter
Haven when Lefty O'Doul slid into
second. One of his fingers was cut
badly. His place probably will be
taken by Max Bishop, who has been
a holdout.
Boosting four straight exhibition
victories over the Dallas Steers, the
White Sox moved upon the Fort
Worth Cats for a three-game series
today.
Root to Get Trial
Charlie Root, ace Of all Cub
pitchers in 1927 and one of the big
disappointmentS in 1923. was to re-

The other day I saw in a golf
magazine what apparently was an
echo Of a small but lively debate

TENDER in the women's national

BelleW was finishing her qualifying
round in the last pair. She under

dusk. She was on the green in 2,
some four yards from the pin. She
walked over to the gallery and
asked if she had two puts left to
qualify-she wanted to be certain.
She was told she had the two puts,
and she took them.
The debate, and the purport of
this question in the golf magazine,
concerned the propriety of this
question: Was not the player ask
ing for advice, against the rule that
she might not ask for, nor willing
ly receive advice, from anyone eX-
cept her caddy?
She was not.
She was asking for information.
The information was at that mo-
ment posted on the scoreboard,
available to all the world, or such
part Of it as might be interested

West Texans in the Limelight

A veteran campaigner and political leader of West
Texas has let it be known that the democrats of that
vast section may enter a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor subject to the action
of the democratic primary. This is his list of posi-
bilities:
Judge A. B. Martin Of the commission Of criminal
appeals; he halls from Plainview.
Senator Clinton G. Small Of Wellington and ANA
rilo.
Senator Walter c. WOODWARD of Coleman.
Former Speaker Lee Satterwhite Of the Panhan-
6Ie-Plains country.
Another West Texan, a state senator who has
made his mark as a lawmaker, predicts that thou
sands Of West Texans may join in a movement to
draft Dan Moody for a third term in order that the
red-headed governor may carry to completion the
nrogram he outlined when he was drafted for the first
time against Mrs. Miriam Ferguson. Should this
happen it will be interesting all around from the gulf
to the mountains and from the Oklahoma Arkansas
border lines to the Rio Grande river.

President Pro Tenn Berkeley

Senator 3. F.. Berkeley just before adjournment was
elected president pro tenn of the senate by unanimous
vote. Senator Berkley is a physician and surgeon.
He has been a member Of the upper house six years.
Alpine is his home. He is a representative Of the e.
Saso district which stretches from the New Mexican
border to the shadows Of the Alamo. He is the Lord
Chesterfield of the senate.
He is as courtly and as dignified as a field marshal
ef the vintage of Louis the Grand.
Indeed, the ladies say that he is one of the best
proomed, best dressed and most commanding of all
the lawmakers in the picture OF the 41st. He never
misses a roll call. He never appears under the dome
without a rose or a ~carnation on the lapel of his
coat. He will serve until the governor calls the fourth
special session. All in all the president pro tenn is
the pride of the Fort Davis mountain country and all
that goes with it.

Speaking of the Amendments

There are 100000 qualified voters in Texas. Less
than 10 per cent Of this vast army participated in the
election of Tuesday, July 16, to pass upon two lmpor-
tant constitutional amendments submitted by the
41st legislature.
Texas cities and larger towns returned majorltleS
for the amendments. Rural boxes where elections
were held returned majorities against the amend
ments. Not more than $4,000 ballots have been &C
counted for to date. Advocates of the amendments
insist that they have been adopted by majorities safe
but small.
Farmer James E. Ferguson threw the full weight
of his influence against the amendments. His news
paper, The Forum, carried the message to "our peo-
pie" Editorially Farmer Ferguson, who is a city
dweller in an aristocratic suburb Of Austin, gave this
advice to our people" speaking Of the amendments:
"Swat EN-"
West Texas towns and villages for the most part
returned adverse majorities. San Antonio voters gave
the amendments their biggest boost. Indeed, the Ala
mo led all the larger cities in the number Of ballots
recorded and in the majorities returned for the
amendments
Unless the unexpected IS shown in the final count
of the total vote Governor Moody will have the nam
ing Of six associate justices Of the supreme court in
the near future and his successor will receive a salary
of $4,000 per year.

Love Likes Big Court

Senator Thomas B. Love sees an advantage 1or
himself in the creation Of a nine-judge supreme court
The nine-judge tribunal will be permanently IN
session. Senator Love points out, and consequently II
will be possible to carry an appeal before that body
at any time.
He blames a move which originated IN Cameron
county last year for defeat in his race for the office
Of lieutenant governor.
Judge Volney Taylor. as chairman OF the county
democratic committee, urged that Love be denied a
place on the democratic primary ticket and other
members Of the committee supported him. Judge
Taylors position was based on the fact that Senator
Love had declared he would not support Alfred Z"
Smith, democratic nominee for president.
Love sought to have his name placed on
the ballot In a mandamuS proceeding. The dlstrlcI
court here ruled against him and the appeals court al
San Antonio upheld the decision Of the lower court
His effort to carry the fight to the supreme court
failed because that body was in constitutional Vaca-
ticn.
Several other county committees followed the lead
of Cameron county and refused Senator Love a place
On ths primary ballot. The senator withdrew from the
race because he believed this move would prevent
him from winning the election.
Senator Love seeks election to the office of gov
ernor in 1890. He points out that should a like STU
alton arise an appeal to the supreme court VIII DC
possible.
He evidently believes the highest tribunal OF the
land would have supported him in his fight for q
place on the democratic ticket.

from the mayors lawn and sur
rounding porches. Many in the
crowd had eve seen an alrplane

house and flew straight for a time.
When the Moonshine suddenly went
into a tail spin a great many Of the
women screamed and grasped their
children closer, thinking she was

Mrs. Sterling was thrilled. 1t

victims. Vivian had been a greater

it up SO long.

hanger" She got in the a and
he drove to the mayors with her.
They cheered and yelled, when
she stepped from the car, until the
little town rang. Vivian stood un-
certainly for a momant-than
smiled. Dozen surrounded her. and
shook her hand. Kent stood by
hands in his pockets, his blue eyes
a study. So that was poor little old
Vivian Matthews-the town flat
tire!
Mayor Sterling met Vivian at the
gate, and led her to the porch. And
there, with emotion and oratory
overcoming him, he pinned a gold
medal over the fluttering heart OF
the "Ace # Hearts"
But even then, while Vivian, her
eyes misty with love for the dear
