OBriens, the grinning grunt with a
gargoyle victory smile, Is back tor a
brief sojourn in the Valley. Pat, who
has an excellent following in this
section, took two straight falls from
Walter Miller in the main event OF
a gr-r-essling card at Harrington
Tuesday night.
O'Brien won through def appli-
cation OF the "OBrien special" a
hold on which he apparently has
exclusive copyright. This consists OF
rushing the prospective victim into
the ropes. using them somewhat like
niggershooter bands. flying back 70
the center of the ring and slam
ming him head over heels 70 the
mat. Two or three applications Of the
"O'Brien special" usually N suffi-
cient.
Incidentally, il begins to appear
that wrestling is on the verge of re-
entering Brownsville. Promoters are
dickering for a new wrestling arena
10 be erected on the 200 block on
st. Charles street. Brownsville ap-
~parently Is ripe for another COB Of
wrestling for many local fans jour
ney to Harrington each Tuesday night.
Walter Stratton. formerly a big
favorite in the valley. is wrestling
in this section regularly again

CRUCIAL CONTEST
THERE should be a hammer and
tongS battle on display at the 36th
diamond here Wednesday night
when the second-place Goodyear
Tiremen tangle with the third-place
Pan-American Flyers in a Browns
Vile Playground Ball League con-
test.
The Tiremen. recognized as one
of the strongest tens" ever develop
ed here. can tie the ~loop-leading XII
wants by measuring the Avators

easier said than done. Those P-AA
men have q lot Of tricks and more
than their share Of baseball ability.
They are far from out Of the race.
and they can be counted on to throw
a monkeywrench into the Coed
year machine Il they possibly can.
