STEERS SLASH SPUDS' LEAD
IN SERIES; BUFFALOES MAY
ERASE MARGIN AT HOUSTON
Scarcely broken, but badly bent,
the high powered Spudder machine
limped out of Dallas last night at*cr
three highly distressing afternoons
* in the Steer sanctum. The club
that was supposed to have been
geared for the second half crown
resembled nothing so much as a
bush league outfit in dropping three
straight to the nine which may op
pose it in the play-off.
■ Little surceas* was seen for the
slumping Gallowayites today. They
found themselves at Buifalo stadi
um in Houston, which was some
thing like hopping from a skillet
into the fire. Theft- lead slashed
from six games to two and a half
_ since they left home Saturday night
' the Spuds faced the prospect of
having it erased entirely unless they
- do better the n -t three days than
- the last three.
' The crushing manner in which
the mavericks lathered the Oilers
in the series Just closed possibly is
«* filled with potent. It not only
1 transformed the Texas league race
. from a runaway to a tightly bunch
* ed field, but definitely established
-* the fact that the Steers will not
be pushovers in the five-game saw
off. no matter what club they en
counter.
Sergeant Geor>? Connally took up
where Whitey Giazner and 'ic Fra
sier had left off the two previous
afternoons in setting the leaders
down. 8 to 2. in the scries final. In
limiting the Spuds to four hits he
set their bingle total for the three
days at li safeties. Up to the sev
enth round, when the visitors scored
both their runs, he did not allow a
blow.
The Spud debacle apparently has
spurred the Buffs. iS- the second
straight afternoon Bailey's men
swept a double 1111 with the Export
ers, 4 to 3. and 4 to 2. In order to
lick Denny Burns in the first the
Bisons had to rcrap through 10 in
nings, scoring one run in each of
the la3t four frames to nose oi the
Shipper ace. Flint Rhem had the
invaders well in hand in the night
cap while his mates bunch'd ;:ieir
hits off Grimm.
Del Pratt's Cubs tussled th jugh
one of the seasons longest games
before ekeing out a 5-to-4 triumph
over the Indians at San Antonio
and Shreveport salvaged its last
tilt at Fort Worth, 6 to 5.

THE HARLINGEN high school
Cardinal grid aspirants were caned
together Tuesday afternoon by
Coach J. A. i Dutch) Rektorik. The
Red Birds had a season last year
that could not be called highly suc
cessful. Thev got off to a bad start
and never fully recovered. With
Rektorik. former Aggie star, in the
coaching harness. Card fans can
rest assured that only lack of ma
terial could cause a poor year.
Even with green players. Dutch
knows how to get the maximum
from them. He knows when to
coax, when to scold and when to
keep quiet. Handling of boys is one
of the hardest tilings required of
a coach. The players have to like
their mentor personally and have
confidence in his ability. Other
wise there would be ha'.f-hcarted
play afield.
• • •
Dutch is getting his squad off to
an carlv start. He expects to put
his pigskin hustlers through prac
tice session today. Most of the
Valiev squads will begin unllmber
ing the mental and muscular kinks
about Aug. 26 or 27. The Ray
mondville gridders, under the guid
ance of Capt. Beatty McCharen.
also are getting away to an early
start soon. The Cardinals are ex
pected to concentrate their efforts
in pointing for the opening game of
the season with the Brownsville
Eagles. The Eagles have entered
class “A” football, whereas the re
mainder of the Valley teams are
still in the “B‘ classification of the
interscholastic league. Naturally,
the remainder of the Valley would
like to see the haughty Eagles
humbled. Harlingen will be the
only one of their number to get the
opportunity to do so. They will do
their best. The Cardinal game is
a hangover from a previous con
tract. It was a matter of forfeit
$100 or play, the wav we under
stood it. The contest will be held In
Harlingen.
• • •
The Valley teams have several
new coaches this year who should
put snan and ginger into the tus
sles. ‘Bud’’ McCallum. former U.
of T. star, has been signed in the
Kingsville Javalinas. Dutch Rek
torik bv the Cardinals. B*ady Rey
nolds by the San Benito Grey
hounds. Brownsville has a new
coaching staff member in '‘Cal’’
Surtees. There have been some
other changes but manv of the old
favorites arc back. “Doug” Fes
senden. most successful coach in
the Valiev last war. again will be
at th** hc’m of tb« local Eagles. All
of the Brownsvlll® athletic wise
acres are due back on ^“ck now.
Besides Surtees end Fe-senHen
there are "Soc" Plato and "Red"
Irvine.

AND NOW comes water polo. This
section got its first taste of this
sport last Sunday at the Point Isa
bel regatta. The fans took to it.
as well as did the neaphyte players
Smith Runnels of Houston, one of
the best outboard racers in the
Southwest, played a portion of the
game. He was so elated with the
sport, that he plans to organise a
team In his home town. Runnels
also stated that he would bring his
sound here for a contest in the fu
ture.
• • •
Point Isabel players arc planning
to continue the game, and will have
snecially built boats manufactured.
Water polo is extremely hard on
hulls. Several boats were dam
aged Sunday. Paul Cottrell is the
nrime mover among the Point Isa
bel h2o poloists. When the boats
are manufactured, the players plan
to hold contests regularly.

New York takes its champions
as they come, usually tnUa some
reservations but give the Big Town
a good, fast, hard-punching light
weight to get rxcited about and
there's all the home-town noise
available for any arena, whether
it's in the old Pioneer A. C. or the
stiff-shirted Madison Square Gar
den.
Metropolitian fans have been
been brought up on good light
weights. The scrappy east prides
itself on turning out real fighters,
a great “club’’ fighter. Benny Leo

the title and re’ircd as the unde

The Ghetto has started several

Leonard left off but none has eyt

Sid Terris was flashy, a fast stepper
but fragile-chinned. No prospect
looked brighter than Ruby Gold

Hudkins stopped him in 1924. Ter

LUPE RODRIGUEZ of the Har
lingen Red Ants came through
with a bang Sunday as he pinch hit
in the ninth inning with the score
tied four-all. The Donna hurler
drifted one over the platter and
Lune leaned on it for a pair of
sacks, shoving over the winning
run. The Red Ants will plav a
twin-bill with the San Benito Pen

basis. They will do their horsehide
wrangling on the Fair Park dia

In addition to the Donna shoot
Sunday, the local Skpet club is
dickering with Edinburg for a con
test Sept. 1. Both clubs have agreed
i ticipatcd as cne of the most at
tractive fray* of the year.
The Madison Square Garden cor
poration thinks so well of the Sin
ger-Chocolate match that rather
than run any risk of its being up
act by disciplinary action of the
boxing commission, the head man of
the •-600” millionaire. Bill Carey,
quite cheerfully gave ground In the
heavyweight controversy over Max
Schmcling.
Big figured price tags often work
to the disadvantage of major lea
gue rookies, of whom things are ex
pected from the start, but three of
the costliest pieces of baseball
ivory have overcome the handicap
of big ballyhoo. Short-stop Bill
Clssell and Third Baseman Willie
Kamm cost the White Sox upwards
of $150,000 but the are now paying
dividends. So is the $100,000 Robt.
Grove, celebrated left-hander of the
Athletics. Connie Mack probably
would not have had to wait so long
to get well out in front if every
$100,000 he has invested in the past
15 years turned out the profit he
is now realizing on Grove.
The sports calendar for 1930
promises to develop revivals of a
number/df classics, among them the
America's Cup in yachting and the
International Cup in Polo, but there
is not likely to be another revival
of the Bunion Derby next year; not
unless the optimistic Mr. C. C. Pie
can find a new route free from law

to do their little lead spraying act

vanguard of a record field of 278
golfers, some great and many near
great, unpacked their war clubs to
open fire today on the western open

Chicago, over the Ozaukee Country
club course.
It was the most brilliant field in
; the tournament's 30 years of play,
and so many stars were entered the

In fact, the sturdy little Spaniard
who won the title against a far more
mediocre field last year, wa* con

YANKS PICK UP GAME ON <
A’S AS CUBS GAIN WHILE
SPLITTING WITH GIANTS
(By the Associated Press.)
The two major league races have
developed almost identic situations
with the Philadelphia Athletics 12
games in front of their nearest
American league opposition and the
Chicago Cubs nine and one-half
games to the good in the National
circuit.
Although the Cubs got no better
than an even break with the New
York Giants they increased their
lead by half a game as the Pitts
burgh Pirates took another on the
chin from the Phillies.
Both Cubs-Giant games were
pitchers* battles. Freddy Fitzsim
mons outpitched Guy Bush in the
opener and the Giants won. 4 to 1.
In the nightcap Hal Carlson blank
ed the Giants with six hits and the
Cubs won. 1-0.
Phils Drub Pirate*
The Phils conquered the Pirates
for the third time in a row by an
8-6 count. Brame was shelled for
eight Phil runs in the first three
innings but Petty and Hill held the
Quakers scoreless thereafter.
Thanks to another brilliant pitch
ing performance by Ray Mass
Brooklyn, got an even break In two
games with the 8t. Louis Cardinals
After Wee Willie Sherdel had out
pitched Dazzy Vance to give the
Cards the first game. 3-2. Moss
blanked the Red Birds with four
hits and walked off with a 4-0 tri

Red Lucas pitched Cinnicinnati
; to an easy 6-2 victory over Boston
; to record his 16th win of the sea
i son.
In the American league the Yan
kees picked up a game on the Ath
letics by beating Chicago. 5-4. while
NEW YORK.—One fellow with a
mighty wallop likes to see another
in action. When Cyril Tolley and
three other British golfers arrived
on the way to Pebble Beach, it was
at first proposed that they see the
women’s national tennis tourney.
They decided that Babe Ruth would
be a better show. The Yanks be

said the Britishers, and they watch

Ralph Kress’ homer with one on
in the sixth decided a light pitch
ers’ battle between Alvin ''rowdrr
of the Browns, and George Earn

8t. Louis. Crowder permitted only
four hits.
Burke was knocked out the
box in the first Inking by Cl veland

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE
Ask us another if we haven’t answered
here every question ever asked about it
Question: Does old gold
publish the score of every
public test taken?
Answer: Yes . . . win, lose
or drawl
Question: Is old gold al
ways the same number?
Answer: No. In the actual
tests there are no numbers on
the cigarette masks. The
smoker, himself, tears off the
paper masks and finds out for
himself which cigarette he has
chosen as best.
Question: Is the Concealed
Name Test a “guessing con
test" ..". does the smoker at
tempt to guess brand names?
Answer: Decidedly not! The
smoker states only which ciga
rette tastes best to him, and
does not try to guess the name.
Question: Who conducts
these tests?
ANSWER: Never the makers of
old golds, or their agents.
The tests are conducted by
-
certified public accountants,
or officials of the organization
or institution under whose
auspices the tests are given.
QUESTION: Are all competing
brands equally fresh and in
precisely the same condition?
ANSWER: All four brands are
purchased before each test at
the same time iu the same
store out of retail stock,
just as the public buys them
. . . and the clerk who sells
them certifies the purchase.
Question: Does the offidcJ
conducting the test kn^jc
which cigarette is which while
the smoker is making the test ?
Answer: No! The cigarettes
are arranged in sets of four...
one each of the four leading
brands. Then they are masked
• . . their names completely
concealed. When the official
hands out these masked ciga
rettes it is impossible for him,
or anyone, to know one from
another.
