For the MANAGERS

THERE will be q very important
meeting Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley Baseball league managers
at the Harrington city hall 8 p. m.
Thursday, 1t has been announced
by Vice President Ben Epstein.
Every manager in the league
should be present. One question to
be put before the gathering will be
whether Point Isabel shall be
admitted to the circuit. A straw
vote was taken recently and the
outcome was four TO four. It
wouldn't be a bad idea for the
managers to bring along their
check books. Only Harley jackson
Of McAlIen has paid the 50 as
sessment made recently to pay off
debts incurred by the circuit. The
loop owes about SIS.
WE ARE forced to doff cur bon
net TO Chesty Stevens, who Is
promoting the wrestling bouts at
Harrington. On July Z he will give
Valley fans one OF the outstanding
events Of all time. so far as this
section is concerned. Three top
notchers-two Of them recognized
championship headline his card
that night. Gus Sonnenberg. heavy
weight champion. will draw the
spotlight. Jack Reynolds. generally
recognized as the worlds leading
welterweight since the death OF
Matty Matsuda, FL Paso Jap. will
be on the card. Gus Kallio, middle
weight champion. will be the third
star OF the evening. Appropriate
opponents for each OF these men
are now being selected by Chesty.

Rare Haul

j. II. Thompson made q rare
catch at Point Isabel yesterday. He
took about $50 pounds OF dolphins
on the ten-mile shoal. Old fisher
men say this Is the first time In
their memory that dolphins have
been taken from Valley waters.
These members OF the finny tribe
were small. Thompson was using
mackeral tackle at the time. He
also caught a number Of blue fish,
a relatively rare specimen in these
waters.

The Fair Fans

MORE AND MORE women are
beginning to attend wrestling bouts,
according to Morris Sigel, Houston
promoter. They do SO. he believes,
because Of an increasing familiarity
among their sex with the "fine
points" Of the game. "As recently
as three years ago." Sigel says,
there were few women interested
in wrestling. But today. ! dare say
nearly 40 per cent Of our total
patronage comes from the fair
fans. / consider this a healthy sign
and a real indication that wrestling
Is q better sport than ever before"
Seigel says.
HOW ABOUT some sporting
events for the Fourth Of July? This
section can have the state skeet
shoot on that date Tor the asking.
Officials OF the state association
have indicated they are more than
willing TO come here II Appropriate
prizes are hung up. That would

Texas Guinan Gets Chance to
 See Boys Again

New York, Oct. 29 (P-The club Argonaut, where Texas Guinan is mistress of ceremonies. was raided carly today by city detectives. The assistant manager and a captain of walters were arrested. Miss Guinan, who was present was not arrested. Several partly filled bottles were seized from tables of guests.
 Two detectives, attircd in evening clothes mingled with the 200 patrons in the resort which occupies a sec ond floor location in West 54th street. While the cabaret show which Miss Guinan directs was un- der way they made their identity known to her.
 Boys, I thought you were here as guests she said. T hope you are no1 going 10 arrest mo-"
 "No, but we are going 10 make some other arrests,' the detective replied.
 Bernardi Tam, assistant manager and Bernard Altman, captain of walters, were arrested for maintain ing q nuisance and furnishing "sct ups" for liquor.
 This was Miss Guinan's first brush with the police since the administra- ton of Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalcn.

INVESTIGATING POWER RATES
 IN THIS CITY

The committee of the Common Council, still Investigating electric rates in this city, especially as ap- piled to the domestic consumers, is said to be obtaining data from other cities. This takes time. Meanwhile it is worth while to call attention to the fact that last March ,, when Pro- lessor Levitt addressed the local Kiwanis club, he included the fol- lowing words among his observa- lions:
 "a What should the people of New Britain do to remedy the unjust sit nation which exists here as to light and power rates? The answer, to my mind, is simple and direct. / First, the consumers of light and power in New Britain should call for hearing from the Public Utilities Commission to compel the ConneCti- cut Light X Power Co, 10 take the in Hated capitalization off it's books, give an honest statement of its capital invested, and reduce it's rates. I shall be glad to help in any way that l can to produce those rCsults.'
 Professor Levitt's main attack at the time was on the service charge. He showed it's ridiculous appllca- lions and did so convincingly. As the chief opponent of excessive power and electric rates in the state, Pro- lessor Levitt has given the subject as thorough study as anyone else, and it is our opinion he could twist the untenable contentious of suavc ., electric men-such as made the councilmanic committee when Councilman Boyle was the chairman look ridiculous-into knots that no sailor could unravel
 Professor Levitt when here said he would be glad 10 help in any
 
 way' if called upon by local invcSti- gators. This expert hasn't charged anything for aiding the public in the past and probably would not exact a fee locally, either.
 How is it that the committee, swhich is ostensibly making the cleo tric light investigation, hasn't called upon Professor Levitt as a consult ing expert? If it has done so noth- ing has appeared in the public press 10 indicate such action, and we must conclude the gentlemen on the committee are worrying along as best they can without expert assist ance.
 Without expert assistance the committee can get nowhere in such t an investigation. With Professor Levitt, defender par excellence of the public rights, standing ready to '. assist the city, one is forced to wonder why he is not called in to help grease the skids for the electric rate descent.
