TINY GARRETT. san Ben.to

thrill with his no-h.t. nO-run game
here Sunday against the BrOncs.
Toward the closing frames. the fans
were pulling for Tiny. hoping that
the Broncs would not mark his per-
feet performance. Tiny Is one ot the
best college athletes developed In
south Texas. He trains vigorously at

AS IN other sections, baseball
and football tans are being fused
together in the Valley. Time was
when they were two separate and
distinct animals. Each thought the
other completely loco. Football play

diamond has brought about this
change. The Rio Grande Valley

League PLAY Tonight

THE Brownsville Business Mems
Bowling league will swing into &C
ton at 8 p. m. Tuesday with Fritz
Echmidt's Cleaners still leading the
circuit. Interest in the league is
gaining foothold and ii is likely
that a second league will be open
ed in the near future. The above
mentioned league is sponsored by
the Campbell alley. The Old Rip
alleys. which opened Saturday, are
enjoying a good run Of business.
The open air arrangement and
silent pins are proving a drawing
card. The new alleys are located on
Elizabeth street near the entrance
to Fort Brown.
ALTHOUGH We have learned u
lesson concerning b~allyhooing ball
games following the Bronc-Saint
spectacle here Sunday, we wish TO
center your attention on the San

ito Sunday. This should be a good
game and mos certainly Is an m
portant one 1t may prove the key
contest upon which the Valley pen
nant swings. The Saints are leading
and the Macks are third with Har-
lingen sandwiched in between. on
that day, Harrington plays at La
Feria. II McAllen and Harrington
were 10 win IL would tighten things
I'D considerably. Harrington McAllen
and San Bento are the only clubs
which have a shot at the title now.
McAllen has played brilliant ball at
times and the Saints have been
going like a house afire all season.

Frank Fay's Features.

THE life Of stage celebrity may be
= hazardous, but the existence of a
motion picture actor is far more diff
cult. At least, such Is the opinion of
Frank Fay, who at present is playing
the role of the amorous two-gun man
in "Urder Texas Moon" at Warmers
Metropolitan.
Veteran of countless musical comedies
and revues, Mr. Fay has heretofore al
ways appeared without disguise. His
wit, together with his reddish mop of
hair and his freckled face, have been his
chief marks of distinction. Seldom. If
ever, has he been called upon to change
his everyday appearance in stage pro-
auctions.
Even as. the worm has to turn, how
ever, so does Frank In "Under Texas
Moon" And because his phySiognony
didn't seem to At the role Of Mexican
ladies' man, Don Carlos, he was forced
to dye his titan curls black and I'M
dergo certain pruning treatments for
the removal of superfluous freckles-the
picture being photographed entirely in
natural color. In this way was he pre-
pared and transformed into the Swarthy
tan of a cactus-born Mexican.
"This Is only my second picture" Mr..
Fay remarks, land the first time ever
was called upon to improve upon ma
ture"

In drama a public, now so eager
to think and to learn, finds
that, as in materia medica,

Journeys End is accepted as a
thought of grim, positive value,
and achieves the distinction of
extending its engagement through
a second week.

Gary Immortalized.

GARY COOPER is to become the first
film star to have a town named in
his honor. This was revealed in a COM
munication from Ralph Budd. president
of the Great Northern Railway, who
says that his company will change the
name of sunnyside, Mont, to Gary.
The change IS made because the
Paramount star, owning a large ranch
near the village, will soon make that
locality an attraction for visitors by
opening the Gary Cooper Guest Ranch
there.
Cooper was born in Helena, Mont,
and spent the major part of his life
in that State before coming to Holly
wood four years ago.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 13--With
three justices insisting they were
wasting their time, members of the
State Supreme Court continued with
their hearing today on the application
of Warren K. Billings, convicted Pre-
paredness day bomber, for a pardon.
A day of bitter cross-examination
and clashes between Billings attorney
and the bench was climaxed yesterday
when Associate Justice Preston said he
had heard enough and moved for an
immediate adjournment.
Testimony has reached the 'corned
beef hash stage" he said. II am ready
to take vote the court conclude this
hearing right now"
Associates Curtis and Richards were
in accord with Preston, Chief Justice
Waste announced.
Only the intervention of Associate
Justice Shenk, who said he found the
testimony very cnlightening," pre-
vented the vote on adjournment.
The interruption was one OF dozen
during the day which enlivened the at
tempt of Edwin v. Mckenzie, Billings
counsel to show prosecution witnesses
perjured themselves in identifying
Billings and Thomas J. Mooney as the
Preparedness day bombers. Each IS
serving a life term for the bombing,
which killed 10 persons and injured 40
in 1916.
