Fort Brown
News
After a weeks’ clean up following
the return from maneuver#, the
12th Cavalry athletes are loosening
up their arms and sharpening their
batting eye for the inter-troop
baseball series which commence
Thursday with Headquarters Troop
vs. Troop A.
The new baseball diamond at the
east end of the parade ground is
a big improvement over anything
the post has had in the past. Cap
tain William T. Haldeman has been
supervising its construction which
started before the maneuvers.
The athletic officers, Lieutenant
Francis E. Rundell, has prepared a
schedule of games on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, com
mencing at 2:30 p. m., in which
each of the four troop teams will
meet each other twice. The schedule
ends July 1st.
A Fort Brown team will be de
veloped during this period and will
open its season in a series with
F.*rt Ringgold during the week end
of July 4th.
Captain Robert R. Maxwell has
succeeded Major Oliver I. Holman
as polo representative of Fort Brown
the latter becoming the horseshow
representative in place of Lieuten
ant Colonel Stanley Koch. Captain
Maxwell expects to open the polo
stables about July 1st. in order to
get an early start this year. Plans
are already under way for a tourn
ament in December which the post
officials believe will be a better
time than February on account of
no conflicting tournament in San
emomo.
The Fort Brown machine gun
ners change their tactics on Thurs
day when they go to Loma Alta
for a few days mounted pistol
practice. Every cavalryman has at
least one weapon that he can use
from his horse while all except the
machine gunners and a few others
have the saber as well as the pistol.
The pistol Is classed as a very im
portant weapon and so proved in
set!' during the maneuvers this
spring. When a group of cavalrymen
burst out of the thick brush onto
the surprised infantry in the bat
tle at O'Conners Ranch. It was
the mounted pistol attack that
won the decision. Although the
maneuvers necessarily could give
no opportunity to use the saber,
every Cavalryman cherishes this
close combat weapon which Is al
ways ' loaded” when the pistol Is
emDty.
All 12th Cavalry troops have
thPir annual pistol and saber prac
tice with ball ammunition during
June, Headquarters Troon following
the Machine Gun Troon at Loma
Alta, and the 1st Squadron going
next from June 15 to 28th.
S.M.U. Yearbook Is
Called ‘Objectionable’
DALLAS. June 4——Distribu
tion of copies of the Rotunda, year
book of Southern Methodist Uni
versity, was delayed today after
the board of trustees announced
that the degree of Kenneth Ma
honey of Huntington, Ind., editor
of the publication, would be held
up because of objectionable matter
printed in the Rotunda.
The yearbooks were recalled after
more than 1.000 had been given
to students. Mahoney said the ob
jectionable matter would be torn
out of the remaining books.
Prof. A. F Henning of the Journ
alist department said he warned
Mahoney to leave out certain pic
tures and reading matter which he
considered would be objectionable
to officials of the University.
WET-DRY FIGHT
GROWS WARMER
WASHINGTON, June 4.—<*V
The wet-dry fight in the house to
day centered upon a bill to
strengthen prohibition enforce
ment by authorizing United States
Commissioners to try petty of
fenders against the anti-liquor
Statutes.
It was one of four approved by
the Hoover law enforcement com
mission as a means of reducing
the present congestion in the
federal courts. The three others
were passed by the House late
yesterday and today awaited action
by the Senate. They yen:
The Stobbs BUI to fix the
maximum punishment for a mis
demeanor at six months imprison
ment and $500 fine; the Moore BiU
to permit an accused person to
waive the constitutional right of
trial by Jury; and the Christoph
erson Bill to amend the United
States Code's definition of a
misdemeanor and fix the penalties
for such offenses in conformity
with the Btoijjjs measure.
The wet bloc sought to prevent
action on the bills but was over
ruled in a debate on the procedure
under which they were to be con
sidered. It succeeded, however, in
deferring a vote on the fourth
measure until today. *
The wets asserted that this bill
was contrary to existing Judicial
procedure and unconstitutional. A
number of members ordinarily clas
sified as drys Joined them in this
view. Laguardia of New York, and
Bachmann of West Virginia. Re
publicans. and Tucker of Virginia,
and Celler of New York. Democrats,
led the fight against the measure.
Chairman Graham of the
Judiciary Committee, himself a
wet. who has spent several months
in the development of legislation
to carry out the commission’s re
commendations. led those urging
enactment.
