League Clubs Split
Double Headers on Sunday

An estimated crowd Of $500 turn
ed out at san Antonio TO greet the
Indians on their return home, and
just TO prove they appreciated the
reception. Claude Robertson's boys
walloped the Galveston Buccaneers,
2 TO 0 and ) 70 3. The Galveston
club played two listless games Of
baseball while the Indians had a
lot Of sparkle to their fielding and
made their hits mean runs, especial
~ in the first game when San An
tonic rot only four hits off Harris.
Wichita Falls retained its fourth
place Sunday at Dallas by splitting
with the Steers. Lefty Minogue,
southpaw ace OF the Dallas mound
staff. toiled the first game and
stopped the Spudders, 8 TO 4. The
first game saw the !Spudders unreel
one OF the most miserable fielding
games yet recorded in the Texas
league. They committed eight err
rors behind the fine Itching OF
Ash Hillin, and almost every miscue
cost at least one run.
Lee Meadows pitched and lost
the second gam for Dallas, z to 0.
Lee received erratic support and
was hit hard. Presnell, Bochey
Koch, football star OF the Baylor
University Bears last season. caught
the second game for Wichita Falls
and looked good.

Beaumont stayed at the league
pinnacle with a 3 10 0 victory over
Houston in the first game which
atoned for a 4 10 3 defeat in the
nightcap. Vaughn pitched another
one of his superb games TO tame
the Buffaloes in the opener.
The Exporters almost won the

the Buffaloes pulled a seventh in

AT Fort Worth, the best Art

the second game, Fort Worth pulled
away for a 4 TO . lead at the end
Of the third inning. but two runs

more in the seventh gave the Sports

GO NEEDY MIXES WITH MYSTERY
 IN CAPITOL PLAY
William Haines and Polly Moran Appear in Re
 mote Control

In Remote Control" showing at the Capitol theatre, comedy com pines with mystery.
 In this picturization of the New York stage hit Of the same name William Haines plays the part of radio announcer who gets his station mixed up with a gang of bandits who use the. broadcasting plant as a means of communica- ton. A "clairvoyant" who con- ducts radio talks acts as master mind.
 Haines, in a most hilarious scene, finds his station short of talent. In desperation he puts on the whole program himself, offering a bed time story as well as imperson- ating Amos n Andy. It is this dis covered ability as a vocal mimic that enables him to extricate him. self from disaster and leads to the arrest of the bandits after a sen- sational robbery in which he finds himself implicated.
 Direction Is Good
 In directing the latest Haines opus. Edward Sedgwick apparently spared no pains in keeping the plot moving at a fast pace. The director deserves considerable credit for his handling of the comedy situations,
 Haines has never been seen to better advantage in a role which called for as much straight dra- matic acting as comedy. The sup porting cast is uniformly good.
 Fine Supporting Cast
 Mary Doran in the leading femi- nine role herself to be not only attractive but an actress of no small ability; Charles King scores with the song hit of the picture, "Just a Little Closer; Polly Moran is her usual riotous self as the ra- dio beauty expert; John Milan is the villain; J. c.
