We had quite a laugh yesterday
at the expense of the Central Power
and Light Co. officials and also u
friend Dick Niles, operator OF KRGV
IN Harrington. IL seems as II DICK
had a special program on the air
"Wednesday night in order to adver-
tise the Harllngen-McAllen game
Tor Thursday night. The broadcast
was nothing less than a burlesque
baseball game that was SEM out
frcm the Studio and was being
played between Hidalgo County and
Cameron County. one OF the Cam
eron County players happened 10
be Bill Bates. an official OF the light
company, and as luck would have
1t, ~ G. Ludden, the district man
ager the company, tuned IN on
the broadcast Just as Bates was
coming to bat and after hearing
the details OF the So-called night
game. Ludden went TO the phone
and asked him what the lights were
doing on at the park, as they had
been turned off because the Ladds
were unable 10 pay their account
Anyhow, after much confusion over
the phone, the situation was ironeu
out, the burlesque game went on
the Ladds paid their bill yesterday,
and the night games re-openeo
Thursday night.
BOSS HARDING
Umpire Harry Harding iron RUE
reigned over the SAINT Park yester-
day as he waved Miller. San Benlto
outfielder. and Hutchings, La Ferla
flyhawk, for disputing his decisions
The umpires continue 70 come II Tor
their share OF the riding but as long
as the league officials give them
the power 10 eject a man IN a game,
much confusion between the pay
ers and fans will be averted.
Uncle Billy Disch. skipper Of the
baseball teams at the University Of
Texas, is having hard luck with
the members Of the club this year
that have signed into professional
baseball. Another OF his men, Oscar
Peoples, right handed pitcher, was
released yesterday by the Galveston
club of the Texas league. Two other
teammates OF Peoples left via n
same route recently, and another IS
due to get a chance 70 show his
worth as a member OF the San An
tonic Indians. DisCh. as a rule. has
several men each year TO stick III
the big time. and no doubt n
failure of these men 20 make good
is not helping his disposition 10
any great extent.
PENNANT BOUND
The La Feria N~ighthawks contl-
nue. to make a STEADY climb toward
first place and with less than two
more weeks TO play IN the first
half of the season. they appear 70
be big favorites on paper TO COP
first honorS. The Hawks az present
are only l - games out OF first
place. and at present have the best
all-around club IN the loop.
REAL ETCHERS
The0 aEue at present has per-
haps IN finest crop OF hurlers that
has ever praced a Class ID loop. Nc
Allen lays claim 70 q pair OF left
handlers in Willis and HarwOod,
| and a highlander m Hardy, that
are perhaps the equal OF any in the
loop. Down at La Ferla no skipper
could ask for anything better than
a combination like Weickline, Pip
| kin. NapourS. Albers and Biggers.
Harrington and San Benito are
having Sleir pitching troubles. but
the Ladds have won many games
behind the stellar hurting OF Phil
lips, Johnston and BrOdie. Any
hurler who can win half his games
with a last place club Is considered
q find and Ruhmann and Montalvo
have managed 10 be IN the halfway
coiumn all season.
Now we find that the managers
of each club will be forced 10 help
pay the expenses Of the Harrington
LaddS in order to assure their re-
manning in the league. We under
stand that the Harlingen Chamber
OF Commerce plans on taking Owe
the Laid franchise and m that
event there is no doubt that the
| club will be on a paying basis the
| remainder OF the season. Behind the
| reigns Of John Floore. secretary Of
the Harrington Chamber Of Com
merce, no project the c!.y institu-
I ton has backed appears to have
failed this year. The golf course
that they are maintaining Is fairly
reeking profits each day. and with
hustling John Floore behind the
move no doubt a little rlore cooper
