Against Fort Brown
All-Stars

The Brownsville Yankees got on
the short end of a fast 2 to 0 game
when they met the Central Power
and Light Pentagons, at the Har-
lingen Fair Park Grounds there
Sunday. MoncuS, twirling for the
powermen, kept the Yanks well III
hand and let them down with two
hits, striking out nine.
Neither side was able to put over
a run till the seventh inning when
Taylor hit safely, was sacrificed by
Davis, stole third, and scored on
CUnningham's long fly into deep
center. Again in the eighth with
two down Moncus lived on Stan
ley'S error He went to second on
the play. Garrison came through
with a well-placed double scoring
MJncus. The Yanks lost a chance
to tally when Nation walked, and
Young hit to center. Nation fell
rounding third and could not get
to the plate in time to beat the
throw. Lawrence made a nice peg
in. Sage for the Yanks made a per.
feet peg to home to catch Wallace
when he tried to score on Moncus'
long fly in the sixth inning. Camp
bell for the PentS grabbed a hot
one off Shaffner's bat tagging

Athletics Hike Edge
Champs in Win
Over Indians 5 to 3
NV Associated Press

Just when it began to seem as
if the alarmistS might possibly have
some grounds for their %apprehen-
sions, MI. Gordon S. Cochrane was
welcomed back into the Athletic
fold, fully recovered from a broken
rib. 1t may be that MI. Cochrane's
presence behind the bat was not
the prime reason the McGillicuddy
arms were returned victorious, but
the fact remains that the Athletics
defeated the Indians, 5 to 3, in 10
innings at Cleveland yesterday as
Detroit trimmed the Yanks, Z to 4.
This perfect Sabbath for the lean
leader Of the Athletics increased the
Mackian margin over the champions
to eight and one-half games. The
Macks are four games past the mid
way mark of the schedule and are
better placed than were the YAM
KEGS at a similar period Of the 1927
campaign, which witnessed ITO New
York victories.
Prayed By their vain efforts
against the Yankees and the Macks
Daniel Howley's troops batted a
three-hit game for Jack Russell at
St. Louis. and the Red Hose won
by 5 to 2.
The White Sox defeated the SEN
ators by 7 to l in the remaining
American league fixture.
Confined to their hotel by rain in
Boston yesterday, the Buccaneers
received word of another even break
by the Giants, who plunged to a
position 10 losing games to the rear
Of the flying leaders. The Cubs
were in Philadelphia with no game
scheduled, SO the Pittsburgh gain in
that direction was nothing at all.
The venerable Clarence Mitchell
all but turned in a victory in the
opening game at the Polo grounds,
which would have made John Nc
GraW'5 day q total loss. Carl Hub
bell treated himself to a SiX-run
explosion in the fifth inning, Civ
ing the Cardinals a margin of three,
but the home team pounced upon
old Mr.. Mitchell for enough runs
in the home half to tie. Carl Mays
then entered the box, and held the
Cardinals safe until Bill Terry's 18th
inning single gave the clan Nc
Graw a 7-to-6 victory.
Bill Walker tottered in the eighth
round of the nightcap, enabling the
Cards to score three times to pull
out a 4-to-3 decision. Jess Haines
was the winning pitcher, although
he gave way to a substitute at bat
in the big st. Louis eighth.
Cincinnati stopped Brooklyn by
12-to-3 as Swanson and Walker hit
homerS.

JOE COOK FUN
IS ALWAYS
CLEAN

One of the cleanest and at the
same time cleverest of our cur
rent musical comedy buffoons is
Joe Cook. the agile young man
around whom the circus musical.
Rain or Shine" viii revolve at
Polls Theater Sunday night. 1t is a
matter of record that in %
years on the stage Cook has
never. once told an off-color story
or engaged in any antics that
might be construed as suggestive.
For that reason his present We
hicle, Rain or Shine is as popa-
lar among women and children
as it is with the male element OF
PLAY patrons. During the AZ
weeks that the show played at
the George M. Cohan Theater in
New York it is said that 1t was
patronized by more than 1900
youngsters between the ages Of 10
and II. That, incidentally, is an
achievement that cannot be
boasted by the majority of girl
and music revels. 1t is said, too,
that Mr.. Cook was deeply appre-
ciative of this display of Juvenile
affection.
Joe Cooks professional career
began as an entertainer with
medicine show at the age of IL.
He did various acrobatic and
Juggling stunts that were calcu-
lated to entice the audience
around a platform where they
would later be lectured on the
benefits to be derived from the
use of a cure-all that was being
peddled by the proprietor of the
show. Joe's real name, believe 1t
or not, is Joe Lopez. Ills father
was an artist and his mother
an actress. Both parents died
when Joe was q child and he
was adopted by an Evansville,
Ind, family by the name OF
Cook. and thus came legally by
that name.
In point of versatility Cook Is
probably entitled to lead the list
Of our first comedians. He can
juggle, manipulate cards, do Ja-
panese foot juggling, balance him
self on huge ball as he rolls
it up a steep incline or down a
flight of steps, do trick bicycle
riding, play any musical instru-
nnent, do fancy ice and roller
skating, accomplish marksman.
ship feats while balanced on a
tight or slack wire and contrive
imaginative machinery that sends
audiences into the well-known
paroxysns of laughter. All these
things he can do and many more.
For many years he was known to
variety patrons as the "One-Man
Vaudeville SHOW but in Rain
or Shine" he is said to have
developed a One-man circus.
