ANNOUNCEMENT
TO THE WORKING MEN OF THE
CITY OF BROWNSVILLE:

On the last two successive Satur-
days, the more than two hundred
workers on the pay roll of the city of
Brownsville had not known until late
in the afternoon whether or not the
money which they had earned during
the week working for the City would
be paid them. This uncertainty was
created by the refusal Of Mayor Cole,
law partner of r. ID. Rentfro, candi-
date for mayor on the Creager ticket,
refusing to sign $25,OOO.O0 worth Of
warrants of the City, which warrants
rad a long time since been sold to Jar
raft & Company of San Antonio, from
whom the money was Immediately
AVAILABLE to paw the workers of the
City. In addition to the $25,000.0O
which the Mayor refuses to sign, the
-iity has sold Jarratt & Company and
an secure Sis, O0O.00 more.
Furthermore it is estimated by fl
nancial experts that the City of
Brownsville has a potential credit of
$1,000, 10000 in excess Of its outstand-
ing debts; S25,OOO.OO in bills which
were intended to be covered by these
warrants were incurred for perman-
ent improvements to the City's utili-
ties and had been paid from the Gen
eral Fund. That, of course, depleted
Il General Fund to the point where
money was not available to pay sal
RES unless raised by warrants.
Three OF us, Stark, Huxley and Co
-olini have begged the Mayor not to
involve the men who worked with
heir hands in our political row. We
think it is outrageous that the oppo-
sition, the Rentfro-Cole ticket should
punish the workers by withholding
rom them the money which they have
honestly earned in the City's Service.
We denounce that form of political
activity and here and now state that
we believe every man that works for
the City should be given his pay check
when it's due, and that regardless of
whether he intends to vote for us or
not.
Nc man who has worked for the
City need be in the least alarmed about
ultimately securing his pay. 1t may
be that the opposition can TEMPORARY
ly delay payment, but rest assured
every dollar Of debt legally incurred
~ the City is legally collectible, and
labor, which is always favored in the
courts, can at any time enforce its
lights.
We are unqualifiedly for the pay
ment of the workers, and the three of
US who are in the Commission have
stood solidly on that platform ever
since we have been in office; and all
of US shall continue so to stand after
we are returned to office on December
10th.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISING
Comments on BrownsviIe's Warrant Situation
INVOLVEMENT
TO THE BUSINESS MEN AND
TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY
OF BROWNSVILLE:

Repeatedly in the last several weeks
there have appeared in print state
ments of Mayor Cole, who is also an
attorney, that he doubts the general
legality of the warrants sold by the
City Of Brownsville to Jarratt & Com
-anv Of San Antonio. In line with that
opinion, the Mayor has refused to siGr
~arrants in the amount Of 25,OOO.O0
= pay bills for permanent improve
-e-ts contracted by the City.
On the last two successive Satur-
'ays, TIE workers Of the City have
zen held until late in the Afternoon
n doubt as to whether or not they
would receive their pay for the weeks
'-hor.
Mayor Cole is the law-partner Of r.
,. Rentfro, who heads the Creager
fcLzet IN opposition to us. We assume
# course. that MIR. Rentfro is in sym
7athy with TIE attitude of his law.
7s-tner, TIE Mayor.
Every statement of that nature, is.
sued by Mayor Cole, casts a cloud up.
On the City's credit and will certainly
result in the depreciation of the value
or any security, warrants or bonds,
later issued by the City. In spite OF
the Rentfro platform opposing the sale
Of the City Light & Water Plant. II
appears hat Cole and Rentfro, present
mayor and candidate for mayor res
7ectively, are engaged in destroying
he City's credit and disrupt the oper-
alton of the City Light a Water Plant
y refusing to meet bills honestly in
rurred and legally due and by cutting
off the workers from their pay earned
by their labors. No better way to
force the Light & Water Plant into
sale to private interests could be found
than the one adopted by Rentfro and
role.
The facts on the City's credit are
these: The City made its last sale Of
its bonds at par for 4h9c interest.
That placed the City's bonds almost
in the same class as the United States
Government bonds. The City has sold
to date to Jarratt & Company of San
Antonio $l4O,OOO.O0 of warrants, bear
ing sc upon which they can secure
the money Immediately. Mayor Cole
has signed approximately $1,000, O0O.-
OO worth of warrants, many for large
sums, which are certainly less defen-
sible than the $~25,COO.OO he now re-
uses to sign.
Whether the Rentfro-C oIe-C reager
ticket wins or the public votes us into
office on the 10th Of December, the
City's credit is being seriously impair.
ed and its municipal activities g~raveIy
disrupted by a course of conduct which
is utterly indefensible.
We are IN no sense parties to that
course of action and pledge the pub
lie that we will pay every debt honest
ly and legally contracted by the City
and we will bend every energy to keep,
ing the utilities of the City at the peak
of efficiency, service and profit.
The public can very well assume
that if the opposition ticket, before il
is fully in power, is so reckless and dis.
regardful of the interests Of the City
it will certainly show no more regard
after being elected.

history has been made. once more be-
came the mecca of fandom today as the
Union Printers and Naval Hospital set
about opening the annual week day
league championship series.
At Ais o'clock, or thereabout. PreSi-
dent B. r. TolSon of the Washington
Terminal Co. was to throw out the first
ball. preceded by flag-raising cere-
mony in which squad of LeatherneckS
was to perform.
The United States Navy Band. one

Henrick's pitching staff was involved
on the losing end. Hank Gowdy, star
of the Braves 1914 world series triumph,
but inactive for five major league sea-
sons, forsook the bench for a day to
pound Cincinnati pitchers for four hits.
The Athletics will have to do with a
13-game lead over the Yankees for at
least another day. Two home runs and
a double by Jimmy Foxx failed to save
Nose Grove in a pitchers battle against
Sammy Gray at st. Louis yesterday,
and the Browns won by to 3.
The situation in the standing Of the
clubs remained the same as the
Yankees permitted Ted Lyons to pitch
and bat the White Sox to a 3-to-2
decision.
Foxx's two drives. each made with the
bases empty, were his twenty-ninth and
thirtieth of the season, and placed him
second to Ruth in the American League
scramble. He also lifted his batting
average to 1893 as his teammate Sim
mons slumped trifle through hitless
afternoon. The AS outhit the Browns
by 10 to 6. but Gray was smart In the
pinches. It was only the third defeat Of
the season for Grove.

Herb Pennock was the victim of Ted
Lyons pinch single which broke up the
game at Chicago in the ninth, but
turned In good game-good enough to

the old guard, "I figured the most i'm
portant feature was to make the pupil
realize the importance of using his
hands and wrists in swinging the club
head. 1 frequently made some pupil
keep his legs and body stiff enough to
stay out of the swing. using his hands
and wrists and arms to hit the bali. IN
this way could make the player get the
feel of swinging the club head. Later
on would let him ease up with legs and
body, but by that time he had at least
realized that the hands were the main
factors in swinging the head Of the
club through the ball. The average
golfer is trying to hit the ball with his
hips. shoulders and body. He must be
made to understand what the correct
use of the hands means before he has
any foundation to build on. This goes
for every club in the bag from driver to
putter. The main idea is to hit the ball,
to hit with the head of the club and to
use the hands in the right way to ac-
complish this purpose"

The Chicago speed-baller held COM
mand of his game at all times, and after
he finally received the support OF one
RIM in the seventh, he actually seemed
to have an impregnable lead. Malone
gave up five hfts to only four by Ben
ton. but only once were the Giants able
to put two of them together IN any
one inning This was in the third, wnen
Roush and Terry singled, but Malone
got OFT on a fly to Stephenson for
the final out.
Malone passed only one man. and
struck out seven. Only one runner got
as far as third base on him, ana Two
were out at the time.
The Cubs gave Malone his winning
margin In the seventh when Cuyler leo
