Brownsville ball teams had a nice
day Sunday. The Tigers took a
pair from Harlingen and the Palmer
Hat Makers split a couple with the
San Benito Affects. The Tigers
gave evidence of returning to their
old form trouncing the Harrington
Red Ants handily. The scores
we're 81 and $50. The Tigers have
rounded up all of their old players,
and, although the season Is nearly
spent, they expect to get in several
good ticks befor' the curtain.
The Hat Makers opened a bar
rage OF hits in their first game with
the Azteces and when the clouting
subsidized and the score sheets tall
lied it was found that the Palmer
crew had won 8-5. A. Garcia and
De la Rosa were the hitting stars of
the affair. Garcia got three bingles
out Of five attempts; De la Rosa
three out OF four. Schacht Of the
Aztecs drove a home run ove the
fielders head.
The second game vas a hurting
duel between Munoz and Darby.
but the San = litanS would not
be denied in his last appearance Of
the season. Darby will leave soon
to attend a coaching school. prior
to taking over the duties Of head
coach at the Caldwell high school.
The score remained tied 3-3 until
the eighth inning when the Aztecs
scored five runs. They were aided
by several Palmer errors.
c. Garcia Of the Hatters batted
for Eugenio in the last half OF the
ninth. He stepped up to the plate
briskly and spanked 1t over the
fence for a homer.
Next Sunday the Hatters viii
play the 43rd Mexican cavalry q
double header on the Palm Courts
diamond in Brownsville. The games
will get under way at $3.50 a. m.
and $3.50 p. m. The Hatters have
added two infielders and a new
hurler to their roster.
Just a few more games now. and
we may see the old Tiger-Hatter
feud done over again in lavish
style. The Tigers and Hatters had
a big controversy on as to which
the better team. They finally
got together and 10 and behold
the Tigers, favcrites, were taken for
a ride. Shortly afterward the
Tigers, an organization Of many
years standing, diSbanded. Now
they have been britt up once more
by Joso Salinas and a heated Tiger
Halter setto may be on tap before
the end of the season.
Skeet shooting has fallen off a
bit due TO the opening Of whitening
season. The hunters have taken
to the field to get the flesh and
blood article. And they are getting
them. Contrary to first reports, the
whitewings are returning empty
handed.
The sleek little birds are certainly
catching plenty : trouble. They're
getting suspicious of anything that
moves. When ever the brush parts
and out steps a booted. packeted
hunter. the whitewings probably
think a few little bird thoughts that
run 49,. The usually gentle tenn
pered birds are getting to where
they will not even trust a ,rse.
Perhaps there's logic in that-we've
known hunters one might mistake
for a horse.
Once again, don't forget the
Point Isabel regatta Aug. 17-I5.
This undoubtedly will be the largest
and best event Of its kind eve held
in this section. A large field Of un-

for the races and additional speed

There's one quiet little fellow who
contributed r terially toward the
success Of the high school Eagles
last year. but who did not figure in
the reports of the games. He is E.
B. Duarte. Last season, Duarte was
business manager. and he probably
will be returned to the post during
the coming year. Ernesto Is q eau

ments. We asked him what he
thought of the Eagles this year. He
thought that they would have a
good season. but refused to wax
oyerly-Optimistic.
