The afternoon game was rained out as were most other contests programmed over the Valley. When Santiago made his balloon assention, Rocha was brought in from shortstop. Rocha bore down hard and held the Boosters score less during the remainder of the seven innings. He allowed only three hits, but the game already had been pooped away in the open ing innings. Bales of La Feria hurled a crafty game, working a change of pace ef fectively. He scattered the Tigers’ nine hits in such a manner that they accounted for only one nm. Bales is a converted first baseman but he showed considerable apti tude on the mound Sunday. Van Pelt, the Boosters’ regular twtrler, rested on the first sack during the contest. Bales not only hooked and hopped them over in fine style, he was the offensive star of the La Feria ag gregation. He smacked out three blows in five times at bat, one of; whicn was a triple. G. 8mith and McGee of La Feria each dumped cut a pair of singles. Joe King of the Tigers slashed out three hits in five trips to the platter. One of these was a dou ble.

Batteries Called by Loud Speaker NEW YORK. Aug. 26—(^—Um piring behind the plate and an nouncing probably will be one and the same job henceforth at the Polo grounds, as they always have been in the smaller leagues of the land. The merger of the two posts at the home of the Giants, if accomplish ed. will be due to the installation of a loud-speaking device, which I was tried out yesterday and Satur day. At the Sabbath game between the Giants and the Pirates. Cy Rlgler, the heroically-built arbiter, adjust ed his mask at the plate, touched a metal disk with his spikes and sent his announcement of the batteries to even the most remote sections of the vast baseball plant through a series of amplifiers. A wire connects the umpire’s spikes with a micro phone in his mask. The spike, touching the metal disk In the ground, forms contact with a wiring system which carries the voice of the speaker to amplifiers through out the park. Balls and strikes are to be called over the network. RUPTURE EXPERT HERE H. M. 8HEVNAN—P. H. SEELEY CO.’S EXPERT of Chicago and Philadelphia will be at the El Jardin Hotel. Brownsville. Thursday.

Lured by threats and counter-attacks of what would happen when Messrs. Wilson. Kolp and Donohue found themselves once more within the confines of a single ball park, even so roomy a battle-ground as Red land field, 35,432 clients appeared before the turnstiles with cash in hand. After all they had been led to hope for, they saw nothing but two very business-like ball games played by peaceable young men who apparently do not even know how to make a hostile gesture. Red Lucas won the opener for the home team, 6 to 3, his seventeenth tri umph of the season, but Guy Bush turned the tables for Chicago in the nightcap, winning his eighteenth game 10 to 1. The even break enabled the Cubs to stretch their margin half a game to 13 full contests as the Pir ates again bowed to the Giants, this time 10 to 5. Lester Sweetland pitched the Phillies to a 4 to 0 triumph over the Roblhs in Brooklyn, allowing only four hits, and Willie Sherdel shut STAR TACKLE 1 JOINS STAFF _ ; Ewing, Kansas College Grid ster, Edinburg Coach * Assistant _______ EDINBURG, Aug. 26 — Jim Ewing, all-state tackle at Kansas college during the past season, has been named assistant to Coach J. D. Foster in the Edinburg public school ; system. Ewing is familiar with Foster's style of play and will probably have charge o *the high school Bob cats in the centralized coaching system adopted this year at Edin burg. He will also aid Foster in his work with the Fdinburg Junior college Broncs. The new '■oach is now visiting his father in Weslaco and will re port to Foster sometime this week in order to get the Edinburg elevens whipped into shape for the open | lng of the season. . Prospects Good Prospects for a good year, both for the high school and junior college, are seen by Coach Poster. Five lettermen are returning to each of these aggregations and there is said to be a wealth of new material on hand. The Broncs had a great seacon last year. They came to their peak when they de ■ feated the Rice ''wls by an over whelming score. Among the fleet-footed players certain to return are Lou Has sell. captain-elect; Tackle, John McCauley, fullback; Louis Jaroe. 1 half-back; Fain Arrington, tackle; J and Tom Swaze, guard. On the high school squad, the fol lowing will return: Lee Walker. ; tackle. John Young, center; Hewitt Armstron , gut. J; A Nitler, end; Glenn Johnson, halfback, and Maurice Williams, guard. New Candidates There is a large number of new candidates out for both the Bronc and Bobcat elevens.

Ov erstreet and Glasscock of McAllen; , Mirike and Goodman of Irdell; Jack Tucker, former Meridian col lege star, also has given notice that he will be with the Bronc eleven this year.

S. , Lewin declared in an interview' here that the man who wears a tight col ! lar will never rise to the top of | his profession. out the Braves in Boston by an identical score while all-owing five hits. After 32 scoreless innings, master minds of the Yankees devised a plan for getting runs across the plate, at once simple and effective. It was merely to have Mr. Ruth step to the front and hammer the ball out of the lot, which he had neglected to do for some days until yesterday. Putting this plan into operation against Wally Stewart in the fourth and the ninth innings at Sports man’s Park yesterday, Ruth snap ped the Yankee string of scoreless Innings and lifted his personal home run total from 33 to 35 but failed to win the ball game, which the Browns did at the expense of Roy Sherdid 3 to 2. The Athletics also lost when A1 Thomas allowed just four hits to win, 3 to 0. It was three out of four for the White Sox over the leaders, who now have dropped six of their last eight. Detroit finally won from Wash ington, stopping the Senators, 8 to 7 in 11 innings at Naval Field, and the Indians divided a double-header with the rejuvenated Red Sox. Cleveland took the opener 5 to 4 and Boston the nightcap by 5 to 3. STAHDIN X-OF THE CLUBS*—* TEXAS LEAGUE Sunday’s Results Houston 1: Fort Worth 0. Beaumont 3-1; Wichita Falls 1-4.
