ALIBI NOTE: Due 10 fact that
the Kiwanis and Fort Brown
Yankees are engaged in their five
game series for championship Of
the Brownsville Playground Ball
league. the Brownsville All-9tars
r not in position to put their
best foot forward In the Valley-wide
tournament In progress at Edin-
burg.
Frank Critz Of the Kiwanis and
Sgt. Szpeinski OF the Yanks are the
hurlers for the All-Stars. John Joe
Cara Of Goodyear. who might have
been used by the Stars. is out with
a fractured rib Critz and Sgt.
Szpeinski hooked up in hurting
duels Wednesday and Friday IN
the Kiwanis- Yankee series, and the
remainder OF the games r. book
ed for Monday, Wednesday and
Friday Of this week.
The Brownsville Stars are sched-
uled TO collide with McAllen &C
Edinburg Tuesday night. n night
after Critz and Szpeinski hurl
against one another. and one night
before the fourth game OF the XII
wants Yankee series. So it's not
hard to imagine that Manager Sam
Lesser of the Stars Is out on the
.proverbial limb.
Sgt. Szpeinski twirled the OPEN
ing game for the Stars at Edinburg
In which the locals took out Har-
lingen 6-1 with ski" whiting IS
and allowing but three scattered
bingleS.
The tournament results. to date
have been:
McAllen Is, San Benito 3.
Brownsville 8, Harlingen l..
San Juan IL, Alamo 8.
Edinburg IL, Mercedes 2.
The coming games are:
Monday-Mission vs.. Donna.
Tuesday-Brownsville VS.. Meal

Thursday-san Juan VS.. Edin-
burg.
Friday - Mission = Donna VS..

July l5-Championship game be-
tween McAllen-B Brownsville Mission
Donna winner and Edinburg-San
Juan winner.
VALLEY skeet shooters no doubt
will be interested in the develop
ment Of the Laredo Skeeters who
began operations at the Casa Blanca
club about three months ago.
On the Fourth OF July the Laredo
Skeeters held q big shoot In which
a total OF 90 rounds was fired. The
average score per Is birds was 1892
and there was not a perfect rs In the
lot.
There were only three twenty
fours and these were made by
Moore. DR.. Powell and Bruni. There
were six 23s. seven 22s, eleven 21s
and an even dozen 20s among the
scores.
But that's not bad shooting. and
sooner or later a team match is 60
ing to be arranged between the
Valleyites, who shoot over the Bat
sell Wells course here, and the Casa
Blanca marksmen.
And II ms and when the match IS
made, We Spade will use all the
%proverbial powers Of the Fourth Es-
tate in insisting that l3-year-old
Bobby Batsell be given a place on
the Brownsville team.
II would be a huge Joke on the
visiting delegation II the shy. bare
foot boy were to beat the visitors
with his .410 popgun. All he needs
IS a little practice and the oppor-
tunity. He Is the best natural shot
In the Valley pulverizing the tar

The Deltas. cunning for recogni-
ton by the McAllen Lions and Mis-

sixth consecutive games on the
Fourth OF July when they measured

The Kiwanis took the series
opener 10 Wednesday night. and
the third game OF the five-tilt
series is to be staged on the
Thirty-Sixth diamond Monday
night beginning at 8 o'clock.
The Friday contest was q see
saw affair which saw the Kiwis
glom a two-run lead In the first
half OF the second. Hinkley doubled
to right and Bill King whanged a
home-run into centerfield to ac-
count for both tallies.
The Yanks tied II UP In the last
half Of the third when Pellet and
Satchell scored. Contributing to
the runs were singles by Pellet,
Pippen and SzpeinSki, an error at
third. a stolen base and a fielder's
choice.
The Yanks took q one-run lead
IN the next stanza when Powell
singled past third, took second on
a passed ball and scored on an
error at short center.
The count was knotted Sail in
the first half Of the sixth when
the civic clubbers chased v e an
other tally. Pickett scored after
doubling to left and Jennings
spanked out a single behind him.
The post contingent went ahead
into the last half Of the sixth
wnen Powell was safe on an error
in left and subsequently scored.
There was considerable argument
as TO whether Adkins caught the
ball. but the umpireS finally called
Powell safe. Langley's brisk single
TO right aided Powell'S tour OF the
bags.
The Kiwis again knotted the
count III the first half OF the sew
enth when Bill King. first batter
II the frame, worked a walk out OF
5gt. Szpeinski and subsequently
5c0red. Joe Kings double to right
boosted Bill around the bags.
The Soldiers sewed up the con-
test in the last half Of the eighth
when Szpeinski. who was safe on
a fielder's choice, and Norwood,
who singled to short center, scor-
ed Powell contributed q single
past short which aided In the
scoring.
sgt. Szpeinski and Frank Critz
twirled on about even terms, but
the "Ol Sarg" was accorded better
support afield. Four miscues were
chalked up against the Kiwis gard
oners while the Soldiers were guilty
OF but one.
Sgt. Szpeinski. Powell and Pellet
we're the batters with the punch,
each getting two safe blows.

Films Planned

A well-planned stage was set FOR
this battle on the first day OF the
rodeo. for which we secured the
services OF "A. Rogers OF Brownsville
with proper motion camera equip
mert. shooting" for one OF the
largest news reel concerns OF the
nation.
When we got to the scene OF our
proposed battle. several boats which
had sighted the fish the day pre-
vious had taken along their high
powered rifles and had shot most Of
these harmless creatures I'm the
back. Those that were not killed
were frightened away and thus was
lost n OF the important publicity
stunts OF the rodeo and Valley fish
ing. not counting the waste OF time
and effort in preparation. No ray
fish returned during the rest OF the
season.
We expect TO have cameramen
from some OF the important news
reel concerns here during the rodeo
and Grantland Rice has made q
tentative promise that he will send
his cameramen here to make q
Spotlight short number OF the TO
dec. SO again I appeal TO the sports
men of the Valley that these fish
not be deliberately driven from our
waters.
Should anyone wish TO catch one
by happening IL. so that pictures
can be had. we urge him TO do SO.
The catching OF several OF them by
legitimate means will scarcely dis
turh them. However. 7 wish to sug-
gest a warning that TO attempt TO
bring one TO gaff without proper
equipment is the height OF folly.
The writer has done battle with
five OF them and knows whereof he
speaksl

Two Harpoons Necessary

At least two harpoons are abso-
lutely necessary In the back OF one
OF these fish, with lines OF one
hundred feet or more OF one-half
inch manila rope and floaB not less
than a ten-gallon empty keg. Three
harpoCns would be more advisable
and each should be sufficiently
strong TO stand a dead weight Of
1000 pounds unless your boat IN
small, but I also warn against the
use Of too small a boat. I have also
had some very unpleasant exper-
fences on this score. Many things
can happen while battling one OF
these monsters and the strain they
are capable OF putting upon n har-
po0n line is almost unbelievable.
We will have motion picture
equipment ready and plans made
for catching one OF these fish this
week II weather and water condi-
tons remain favorable. We have
about four hundred feet of film
already taken by MIR. Rogers In a
battle last year, when our prize
broke our cables with two harpoons
In his back and seven "A shots
through his body after nearly three
hours battle.
We hope to complete this film.
which will be OF considerable publ
city value to the Valley. and trust
that we can keep our ray fish In
this locality until the rodeo dates
for their future moving picture
value at the hands Of our larger
news reel companies.
Please don't modest them.

Protection Urged

This article IN prepared rs an ap-
peal TO the thoughtless not 70 modest
these giant ray fish, for very OBJ
vious reasons. They offer publicity
possibilities above anything we
have to offer In the way Of fishing.
To the stranger they are a sight
that viii be long remembered and
with our tourist fishermen the very
sight Of one Of these monsters at
close range Is worthy OF a thrill
and a worthwhile story they can
tell their friends when they return
to their northern home. This will
call attention to the possibilities Of
u salt water fishing (of course
they won't believe them-just an
other fish story. but a good story
that n few pictures will prove).
With n little well-planned prep
aration and proper equipment they
are easily caught and offer posi-
bilities for real action In moving
pictures at close range that IS
worthy Of a showing in thousands
OF movie houses over the nation.
These fish we're with us last year
for several weeks prior TO the rodeo.
Local guides did their utmost TO
protect them until the rodeo date
SO that one could be landed as q
special feature Of the rodeo and so
that, mt the same time, moving pic
lures could be taken for publicity
purposes.

erly scanned each group for a sight
of JAMS slim figure and proud little
golden head. Presently he heard an
ecstatic voice that called his name
and swung about to catch up small
blonde girl of 10 who threw herself
into his arms.
"As I live, my best gal, Mimi!"
he cried and hugged her close. Dear,
funny little kid. She had been three
months old on that tragic day when
he'd had his first glimpse of her-a
day after a careless motoriSt haC
struck down and killed her young
mother. His own parents dead, he
had been in boarding school when
the news of the accident reached
| him. He had known that Captain
Edding was at sea on the Caribbean
| cruise, had realized what Jan must
be suffering alone, and so he had
| slipped away from school to trudge
the weary miles in to Boston. Now
as if it were yesterday, he recalled
| how he had stood beside Minis bas-
sinet and struggled to allay young
JAMS silent, dry-eyed grief by his
sister.
Mimi and he had been great friends
since their renewed acquaintance in
| Manila last year. Now, complete
alteration shone in the childish face
held level with his own. "Oh VAL"
she murmured; her arms tight
around his neck, Il was so 'fraid you
| wouldn't come before we sailed, /
Almost cried.'
Didn't you know that nothing
| could keep me away from you, dar-
ling? Not flaming dragons, nor
bursting bombs, nor evil Spirits"
he stopped abruptly on that signifi-
cant last word, then added hastily
Hop down and let's have look at
you, young lady"
Placed on her feet, she rotated
solemnly SO that he might regard
her thin little self. Il have grown
very strong and WELL" she assured
him. II took cod liver oil hate it
and I've practiced to be an acrobat
just as I promised you, Val"
Good work, youngsterl Tell me
all about it later. Where is Sister
Jan?
''Oh, somewhere on deck with Mrs.
Montross and Sue and daddy" She
waved a vague hand. Kent Town
ley is there, too. All the others went
ashore in the last launch"
A frown twisted VaPs black brows
So Kent Townley had cut in since
he had been away,> eh! He never
should have introduced that bird to
Jan in the first place. He wondered
whether she were falling for him.
He caught Minis hand to hurry for
ward.
The child, however, hung back in
