Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-07-09

The Donna Skeet club has won
the state championship at the
shoots in Dallas. This has given
rise to the suggestion by members
of the Brownsville club that they,
themselves, cannot be taken lightly
in these gat welding affairs. The
local club has beaten the Donna
aggregation each time in the four
shoots between the two clubs,
Brownsville Skeeters are anxious to
see if they can still maltreat the
Donna boys since they have OBJ
tanned the state title.
Hurt BatseIl and r. w. Markus-
sen are claiming .41O titles since
breaking 20 out of possible Csc
at the last shoot staged here. 1t
takes a fast eye and a free swing
arm to pulveriZe the pigeons with
these small arms. Jimmy George
also hung up a good round at the
same shoot by breaking 20
straight. Georges shooting has
been improving rapidly and ne
will be hard to keep off the first
team in the future, if he main
tains his fast pace.
AS a rule women skip the sport
section of newspapers for other
pages of more interest to them, but
there is one woman in Brownsville
who does not. She is Mrs. Mary
Stone. She scans the box scores,
and, as a certain advertiser has it,
There's a reason" Mrs. Stone is
a sister Of Sgt. Connally, Dallas
hurler. She follows her brothers
diamond activities closely.
Although a hot summer sun is
beaming down and most fans are
spending their time following
their ~favOrite ball teams, football
continues the topic of
ton between the young bloods of
Brownsville. They are talking of
the great fight to come for posts
in the Eagle line. Last years
eleven is returning practically in
tact and in addition several in
eligibles and new players Of real
merit viii be out. Three of last
years ineligibles are going to be
hard to keep out of the starting
lineup. They are Bill Cabler,
lilo" SamanO and the fleet foot
ed LOngOria. Jack Allen, who
played in the line two years ago,
also is back from Oklahoma.
Longoria probably has one end
position sewed Up, inasmuch as it
is planned to take Grove from end
and place him in the backfield,
sylvester probably will hold his
end position without serious oppo-
Sltlon. Samano, backfield star two
years ago, will probably be sent into
the lien due to the wealth of back
field material on hand. Allen and
Samano, expected to try for tackle
oerths, will have to win posts away
from last years lettermen if thew
perform in the Eagle uniform. #
looks like a hot fight.
The backfieId will have speed,
plunging power, defensive
strength and no small amount of
grid cunning. big Dan" Barn
mart, n of the best high school
piungers in the state, is being
groomed to do the punting. DIN
weller, who performed these
chores last year, graduated.
Barnhart underwent an opera
Q on his injured wrist recently.
Ii that member comes out okay.
the locals will have an additional
threat in Dams rifle shot passes.
Cabier will add materially to the
defensive strength of the back
Held. Grove is extremely fast on
MS feet and hard to tackle. H.
should gain much yardage for
the Eagles. Boy" Newman will
OIL the smooth working trigger
unit of the eleven with his smart
ness from the quarterback posi-
ton.
Unattended by the loud ballvhoo
that characterizes heavvweioht
championship bouts, the Tommy
Loughran-James j. Braddock battle
for the light heavyweight title L
nearing. This bout probably will be
better than the long line of flops
or near flops staged in the heavy
weight elimination but will not

Loughran, defending champion,
IS perhaps the smartest boxer in
the business now. He could give
