II can't run nor move along as

pitch good ball:
"I've got all my stuff and can get

may be q hunch, but it's worth play

Liska's return to form would help
Johnson's depleted staff a lot right
now. With Sam Jones still inactive
and Garland Braxton and Irving

mates who are just beginning to step
out with the fail.

the Griftmen will this time meet the
Brownies on even terms, having re-

game series at Sportsman Park.
While HowIey's combination
does not possess the brilliance
nor color of the Yankees and
AS, it wins plenty of bali games
through steadiness and team
play-impOrtant qualities in any
sport.
Heine Manush, the big outfielder
who last year gave Goose Goslin a
terrific drive for the American
League hitting championship, is one
big gun to be closely watched,
while First Baseman Lou Blue, a
former Washington sandlot product,
also has figured materially in ad-
vancing the Browns among the
American Leagues championship
contenders.
Sam Gray and Alvin Crowder,
star right-handers, are pitchers who
probably will shoot against John
sons tribe, while Walter Stewart,
a troublesome southpaw, also likely
will test the new right.hand batting
order of the Griffmen.
Stewart usually is q complete
puzzle to the Griffs and It remains
to be seen whether or not the
changed order Of things, namely the
substitution OF F'lagstead for West
as hitter of left-handed pitching,
will hamper his effectiveness.

sion yesterday at the Hotel Ell jar
din to hear Gardner Rogers of the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce, Washington, speak on city
planning.
Mr.. Rogers described his impress
sion of Brownsville that of a city in
the transition stage into metropol-
itan Classification, with the usual
growth pains, such as re-routing
and widening streets, coming the
various districts and preparing for
competition with cities up to 100000
population status.
He urged that civic steps to meet
the present and future conditions
be we'll calculated both to save i'm
mense sums of money that otherwise
might be wasted, and to provide
adequately for the Brownsville
to-be.
Mr.. Rogers departed today for
Harrington, but will return for the
Lindbergh and caker flights Satur-
day and Sunday.
A. Wayne Wood. president of the
Real Estate board, presided at the
joint session.
Among two-minute speeches was
one by George White, chairman Of
the transportation committe for the
Saturday and Eunday celebrations,
who pleaded for Brownsville motor
a owners to help out in taking the
thousands Of visitors expected here
to and from the Brownsville air
port.
A representative from Edinburg

Colonel Charles Lindbergh

This was revealed here this
morning by Col. Roberto Fierro,
Mexican flying ace, and head of
the Mexican air forces, who flew
into Brownsville yesterday after

Mexico on the return trip.
I'VE are all trying to make

Fierro said. "Out at the air field
we will talk only Spanish, in or

He stands and is baffled at
times, but is picking it up rapid
", We believe he will learn the
language well if he stays in Mex
leo a little longer"
Col. Fierro and Lindbergh are
good friends. probably as a nat
ural result OF one being the out

the other the outstanding ace Of
his nation.

COLLEGE PLAY
SAID SUCCESS
Charm SCHOOL, Presented Tc
Moderately-Fi Au-
d:torium
BY HAL L. EUSTACE

Setting a high precedent for fu-
ture Junior college plays, The
Charm School" was run off with
smoothness that told Of careful
direction Wednesday evening at the
college auditorium before a MOD
erately filled house.
The three-act comedy, bordering
on hilarious in its striking contrasts
of sensible old age and yapping
misunderstood" youth, was pre-
Sented with commendable restraint.
Santos CeyaneS, as the veteran
banker with reserved contempt for
the idea OF teaching charm" in a
young girls boarding school, gave
perhaps the most convincing char
a~cterization of the evening. MaTga-
ret wainwright as the light-headed
pupil in the school who accomplish
ed all things, even to capturing the
leading male character, Robert
Townsend, through charm" was
we'll cast and her performance indi-
Gated understanding Of the role.
Rosita Ceyanes kept the audience
in laughter with her Interpretation
Of the boarding schools yes-yes-Wo-
man. Despite the mental picture
the audience had Of her as an accu-
rate basketball referee and an all
around sensible person, she got over
the part of half-afraid f~luttering
femininity in a manner that mate
rally improved the play. She fur
niShed comic relief to a comedy.
Other leading parts we're taken by
Alehta Whitehead as Miss Hays;
Robert Townsend as Austin Bevans,
and Lawrence Olnsted as George
Boyd.
The play was staged by Miss Roma
Wilson of the Junior college English
department.
Music was furnished by the San
Benito high school orchestra under
the direction Of H. II. Schander of
Harrington.
The play was built up around
Beva2s, a young automobile sales
man who inherited q girls boarding
school. He imports his boy-friends
and begins instructions in charm"
After working its way through three
acts the curtain falls on him In q
c~linch-victim Of the charm" which
he intended to teach.
