TO SEE BIG BAN

CHICAGO, July i5-tF-It's
no laughing matter when 5000
high school boys are refused
free entry 70 a ball park, eSpe-
cially when Babe Ruth is one OF
the attractions. and more par
ticularly when 10000 other lads
have gone past the gates on
the same kind Of passes held by
the unhappy youngsters on the
outside.
In such a situation. 5000
Crane high school students took
the only course they could
think Of yesterday: they started
a fair-sized riot 1t Comiskey
park. Fifty police, hurried from
a nearby station, were helpless
to halt the boys and the Storm
ing OF the gates continued un-
I'll the management ordered
them admitted.
Then the secret of the trou-
bic came out: a chicago alder
man had provided tickets today
for 10000 boys. but 5000 Of
them had not been properly
signed by Owner Comiskey.

BOWLING LOOP
GOING STRONG
BY JACK

SAN BENITO, July l5.-(P-The
WEIGH White bowling alley at San
Benito has started a Business Mems
Ieague which met Friday morning
at the Valley Waffle Shop to dis
cuss the arranging Of a schedule
for the league. Eight teams were re-
presented. the Missouri Pacific,
Downs Brothers, B-ash Clothing
Company, Central Power g. Light
Co, san Benito Motor Co., San
Rsnlto Bank, Rivoli Theater and j.
G. Penney. Six teams played last
week and the interest ran high with
outside people taking a big part.
A schedule was arranged this week
and the teams will play weekly.
John Hern, Saint catcher, IS one
OF the best huStling catchers in the
Valley. His chatter Is heard above
his team mates and continues dur
ing the entire game. He is q fair
hitter and although his arm isn't
strong, his pegs to the bases are
accurate and effective.
Bruce Cunningham, smuggling
Saint first baseman, continued his
hitting BY getting three raps Sun
day. Cunningham never likes TO hit
without men on base because as he
says: they don't do any damage"
Bruce Is the best hitting first base
man in the Valley and n OF the
best fielders. Bruce claims that his
hitting isn't SO good because he
can't find the right kind OF q bat.
We pity the opposition II Bruce
finds his bat. Wakefield" Is the
model.
Floyd Tiny" Garrett, the biggest
pitcher in the league, almost got a
no-hit no-run game Sunday. He
pitched a no-hit no-run game till
the seventh inning when two men
were down. A left handler drove a
single over second for the only hit.
Garrett deserved a perfect game.
After n game Carrot said that his
only wish was that he had the ball
that he threw to the left handler.
Garret walked only one man. and
then before he delivered a ball
caught tn runner off base.
The San Benito Saints meet Har-
ley Jackson's hustling McAllen nine
next. Sunday at McAllen. II looks
Ike another one Of those Fourth
OF July games. With the short left
field fence at McAllen, I suppose
that the Saints viii drive q few out
Of the park. Cunningham and
Courtney should get homers, as
they both are long hitters.
The new San Benito school build
ing and gymnasium are now under
construction. The gymnasium Is ex-
pected TO be complete BY the first
Of September for the coming foot
ball season. The gym win be equip
ped with an indoor basketball
court. Showers and lockers are
provided for the home and visiting
teams. It viii be one of the best
gymnasiurs IN south Texas. Basket
ball should become O very popular
lspcrt at San Benito.

Psychiatrist Deposed
By Iceland Official

DR.. Helgi TomaSon, Iceland's greatest
authority on psychiatry, has publicly
declared that 1celand's minister of JUS
tice, Jonas Johnson, is insane. Justice
Jonsson has answered by discharging
DR.. Tomason from his position as chief
physician of Icelands official asylum
for mental diseases.
These are the dramatic features OF a
controversy which has divided the whole
Icelandic population into two camps,
and which threatened to oyershados
the festivities in connection with the
millennium of the Alting. The climax
was reached after years of INCREASINGLY
defaming one another. In reality, how
ever, the controversy Is based on the
antagonism between farmers and towns
people.
Minister Johnson is both the most
loved and most hated man in Iceland.
Farmers idolize him. much as >FaSciSts
admire kuSsolini. Much of what the
present Icelandic government has ac-
complished Is said to have been In
spired by Mr., Jonsson, and he is pop
ularly called s'the Dictator"
The personal controversy between the
minister and DR.. Tomason was brought
to public notice through letter which
the governments paper printed from
Minister Johnson, who wrote that his
political opponents for years have
spread rumors that he (tie ninisterl
Is an addict. 1t was this public letter
which caused DR.. Tomason to declare
publicly that the minister was insane.
When Dr. Tomason left his hospital he
took several of the staff with him. He
now advertises that he is willing to
treat all patients from his old asylum
gratis If they viii leave the asylum.
