when he defeated everything III
sight. The only reaso ne didn't
trounce more was because they
weren't on deck. He ran his win
ming streak up 10 IL with no losses
recorded against him. Rove had
played only n game up until Sat-
urday of last week. Jack Is whip
ping up his horses now, however
and it appears as though he will
be able TO play his entire schedule
Of 26 games.
Like Skippy, Jack is always
bclittlin'" but he be-litties him
self. After making an extreme
Iy difficult billiard, Jack be-littleS
himself for not getting better po-
sition. He Is an excellent cushion
PLAYER and knows his 'leavings.
Jack not only knows the shots
there are plenty who can tell YOU
how TO make them-but he can
execute them.
The high spot in the Elks' tourn-
ament is expected 70 come when
Rowe and George Bell meet. They
appear certain 10 meet in a con-
test for the crown. Bell now has
played u games without a single
loss. Rove, rapidly hauling up
from behind, has won II straight.
From the class Of his play shown
Wednesday, Rowe should have little
trouble in hurdling the remainder
Of the field. Fernandez. Richard
son, Corey and Reid constitute the
tough spots.
Dave Young Is the latest Of
BrOwnSville's skeeters TO step into
the limelight. Dave, perhaps the
youngest member of the local
team, toed the mark and broke
so straight Tuesday afternoon.
This was the second time that
Young has achieved perfect
marks. No doubt the roar Of
Dawes gun caused the local crow
TO settle down over Bob Wade's
ears a bit. B0b's safe for a while
though. He figures IL a bad day
unless he breaks a %. The best
record made here for an after
noon was established by Wade
Sunday. He broke l4S out Of a
possible $50. That would be ex-
cellent shooting at trap, much
less skeet.
The Brownsville club has selected
wisely in the naming Of its officers.
The most enthusiastic Of the Skeet-
erS arc represented on the ruling
body. Harry Richardson. snapshot
wizard, was elected president; Bob
Wade. vice president: Frank Arm
strong. secretary, and Vincent Ste
venson, treasurer. The club is q
n on-profit making organization
Consequently quite a bit Of WORK
will have to be borne by the Off
GERS. II the officers were not high
ly interested. 1t is probable that the
club would relax and fall by the
way. But with fellows such as
those in office. the club is in slight
danger of loss OF interest.
The Donna shoot, scheduled for
Sunday. appears 10 be up in the
air. At first il was understood
that the state champions would
come here, but later il developed
that they would not. The locals
more often than probably will not
haggle Ovc the location Of the
shoot. Bob Wade and his gang
will probably load up what Skeet-
crs they can find Sunday and
give the champions a workout on
their home grounds.
Don't forget those boat races at
the Point Sunday. The big re-
gatta is set for August 1913. but
there will be catboat chases this
coming Sunday. The second Of a
series of three races will be run
between five catboatS. w. II. Pat
tee won the first chase. The win
ner of the series will be awarded
a cup by the Point Isabel Yacht
club. The ace will get under way
IN the Laguna Madre just opposite
from the Yacht club at 3 p. m.
