Pratt in Valley


Another Valley visitor yesterday
was our old friend Clyde Pratt.
Brownsville fans in particular will
remember Pratt when he perform
ed on the Tiger nine back in 1926
Pratt Is a former University OF
Texas player having c~aptained the
nine his final year in school. He
has been playing ball with the
Mopac club AZ KingsVille but the
team diSbanded the early part of
the week and is down II these
parts looking things over, parti-
cularly a coach job for the coming
school year.
The Harlingen park should be
fairly overlooked with customers
Saturday night when the Saints
open a three-game stay with the
Harlingen Ladds. San Benito boost
ers r talking of the coming con-
test and are talking OF taking a
clean sweep OF the series.
Lefty Weickline's brilliant
pitching victory Thursday night
has become one Of the latest topics
OF discussion with the fans. The
San Antonio portsider limited the
Harrington LaddS to one measly hit,
a scratch blow down the first base
line in the sixth inning by Baron.
Weickline has been under close
observation by the scouts who Wis
tied these parts last week, and
should be given a chance in better
company before the mid-Season
mark is reached.
That One-Hit Game
Weickiine's victory was in part
made possible by Midkiff and
Johns, the recent Saint c~astoffs,
who clouted in the winning TALES.
Midkiff led with batting honors
finding Barron's offerings for two
OF the five hits
Much credit should be given Bar
ron, Laid hurler. in spite Of the
fact that he was defeated after
turning IN a splendid game in the
box. The new member OF the Lasr
crew held the Hawks TO five blows
and a feat of this kind would or
dinarily be enough TO win a victory
for the pitcher. Barron by way of
reward, or what you want to cal
1t, was the n person to spoil
Weickline's no-hit record.
Tommy Jordan the new Saint
first baSeman pounded out his sew
enth and eighth blows today, one
a honerun over the center field
wall. Jordan joined the club Wed
nesday and since then has hit
safely eight times out Of thirteen
trips to the play.
Double Deck Fans
Three OF BrownsvillR's promi-
nent business men have been max
ing quite a day OF their trips I'D

insult VICTORY
MAY TURN OUT
TO Be SETBACK
Newest Merger Move Put in
Danger of Defeat by
Recent Ruling.

insults victory in the North Man
chester case may turn out to be
bitter fruit and possibly thwart
their latest merger plans, it devel-
oped at final hearing on the
merger petitions conducted this
morning by Commissioner Howell
Ellis.
For Commissioner Ellis questioned
insult officials closely regarding the
physical properties involved in the
petition to merge the Attica Electric
Company and the Wabash Valley
Electric Company into the North
ern Indiana Power Company.
Testimony disclosed that the At
tica Electric Company properties
now are located in Attica. Under
the North Manchester ruling, which
neither Commissioned Ellis nor
Frank Singleton approved, a mer-
ger would remove any possibility of
the Attica citizens having a chance
for municipal ownership, so far as
commission action is concerned.
For Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
bertson, chief protagonist of the
North Manchester order, set forth
this view in an elaborate explana-
ton filed with the order today.
Commissioner Jere West didn't
fall in with the Cuthbertson idea
and said he had no explanation of
his own to file. But it got the

refused to let wet bills get out of

mittees, where they we're buried in
obscurity.
The change Of front is attributed
to several developments. Vets have
increased their strength in both
houses and are threatening to make
an ambitious demonstration against
the dry laws during the session.
VETS are welcoming the change
because it is their policy to put
every member of congress "on the
prohibition spot" for the campaign.
They probably will seek first vote
on the question Of a referendum,
and then later attempt to attach a
beer and light wines amendment to
some economic relief bill.
Some dry leaders think they can
put down the wet insurrection with
a decisive vote in favor of prohibi-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Drys

Congressional Leaders Watson of
Indiana, Smell of New York, Rainey

Senator Borah of Idaho, have joined
in the past twenty-four hours TO
promise a vote on the issue at the

Smell, the Republican candidate for

the issue would have to be met dur

leader in the house, promised his
