The Pan-American boys are do
ing much toward up-building OF
sports in this section.
Regardless OF whether II is golf.
Skeet, playground ball, bowling.
hunting or fishing, you will find
the AviatorS where the competition
Is keenest.
They have a very excellent play
ground ball team which long has
0een a leading contender in the
Brownsville league: as a group, they
are the chief supporters OF Skeet;
many Of the Pan-Am boys get IN
their rounds Of golf regularly: sew
eral Of their number r among
the best bowlers in Brownsville,
end hunting and fishing are their
particular hobby.
The Aviator skeet club. made up
of V. Studeman. A. burst. K. Clarke,
j. S. Monette, w. Lynch and Geo.
Kraigher. was to take on a city
team here Friday afternoon. The
opposition squad likely will be made
up OF Frank Armstrong. j. q. Nc
Candless. Dave Young, Hurt BatSel.
Major Thompson and Capt Ben
Vail
Familiar but heretofore missing
faces are beginning TO reappear IN
Brownsville. There's j. w. C'RedD
Irvire, for instance.
Red, formerly head OF the Browns
vile Eagles and Scorpions when
those grid outfits were in their hey
Gay, blew back into town recently
for a short vacation. Although he
has an excellent position with an
upstate firm. we have a suspicion
that Red still regards Brownsville
as his home. He manages 70 get
back in to see his old friends every
now and then.
And then there's Speed" Wal
lace, who first came here as Char
lev Paddock'S manager. Wallace
liked the Valley so well that he has
returned every year. He's in the
city now, dickering for a goodwill
flight from Mexico 70 the Dakotas.
Ben Brite. OF course. is back after
a sojourn in the metropolis Of Verdi
where he was the whole works in
tn, school system. He formerly
coached the Brownsville Eagles but
has reformed and Is sticking to
straight academic work these days.
Doug FeSSenden, who coached the
Brownsville high Eagles in 1928 and
1929 isn't back. but ne cropped into
the national news services recently
Wien he was signed as coach OF
Montana University.
A pair Of fast ball games should
be on display at the Seth Diamond
night when the Goodyear
tangle with the Eagles
The Tiremen, q strong aggregation,
will be right back in the thick OF
the pennant fight II they manage
TO take the measure Of the Eagles
in both encounters.
The Goodyears have been the
Of the Brownsville league.
Organized at the opening Of the
current season, they got off 10 q
start during the first half.
But they improved with each game.
Profiting by their mistakes, they
rounded into q hustling ten" and
now they are as tough a club as you
viii find in the local league.
The Eagles. on the other hand,
have hit the skids. They formerly
real powers in the league, but
Tor some reason they have slumped
badly and are nired In the mud Of
The second division. They have the
material. hut We suspect that they
have had too much baseball and
have gone stale.
DONNA formerly had one Of the
best skeet clubs in the southwest.
and some Of their old marksmen
are going back to the sport.
Walter Anderson. for instance.
&c came here wednesday and show
Il the boys that he still has hts
we on the targets by breaking "a
out OF a round Of Is.
Other members OF that old Donna
.eam included Walter Weaver. <.
W. Rat" Arnold, Beard. Wilmoth.
@. Decker and J. T. Carrie. The
ast two reside at Mission
