TWO-YEAR BONUS. LAW
UPHELD BY MITCHELL
Attorney General Holds Veterans
Must Apply in Advance to
Borrow on Certificates.

The Veterans administration has
been upheld by Attorney General
Mitchell in its Interpretation of the
law allowing loans on adjusted service
certificates only after the certificates
are two years old.
The Attorney General held that the
recent amendment to the World War
adjusted compensation act increasing
the loan basis to so per cent of the
face value of the certificate did not
amend or modify the provision in the
organic law which permits a loan only
after the expiration of two years from
the date of issue.
At present there are outstanding
120,273 certificates less than two years
old on which loans may not be made
under the decision. The total face
value of these certificates is approx
mately $90,000,000, or an average of
slightly under $3.50.
In another decision to Administrator
Hines of Veterans affairs the Attorney
General has upheld an opinion Of for
mer Attorney General Sargent declar-
ing that retirement benefits are payable
under the emergency officers retire
ment act in five classes Of cases.

McALLEN, Aug. 8.-La Ferla has
given up the ghost after three un-
successful starts against the Nc
Allen Palms and has conceded the
Valley championship to Harley
JackS0n'S al-shadoWlng Trees.
The N~ighthaWks dropped the
third game 14-l3 Friday evening
and decided it was no use contin-
uing the scheduled seven-gane
series.
This action completely rung down
the curtain on the Valley league.
Straight away. the Palms sched-
uled a three-game series with the
Vera Cruz Cubans for Saturday and
Sunday. The Cubans are a real
baseball outfit and they are de-
termined TO avenge their recent
defeat at the hands of the Palms.
The Cubans choked up in a winner
take-all affair which the Palms
won-thereby pocke-ing a S700 gate.
Sunday afternoon the Cubans and
Palms will meet at Guerra park
and at night will clash under the
floodlights OF Legion park.
Il am sorry the Valley league
came to a close 50 abruptly" Jack
son states. we were getting the
best attendance in the Valley and
could have continued the season.
Also the Palms had several players
who could have been sold"

Hurting Necessary

One OF the great contrasts in
baseball is found in the first and
seventh place teams Of the Nation
al league, the st. Louis Cardinals
and the Phillies. For a couple OF
years the Pills have been con-
sioered as a great team except for
It's pitching staff while the Cards
have put mound work a bit above
the other departments Of play.
Tnis year, a less lively ball was
expected TO bring some sort Of a
change in the results, but the
Pills continued TO belt the BAH at
a great rate without getting any
where in the standing while the
Cardinal huriers have put st.
Louis far ahead.
