HE LIKES FOOTBALL
SPEAKING WITH a rich Scotch
burr. Brother Patrick O’Higgms. a
rugged young native of Glasgow who
has resided in the States a want
year, confesses that he finds the
American games of foatbail and
baseball completely wholesome and
interesting.
They are far different from
soccer, cvr chief college game in
Glasgow, out I admit that I have
become a fullfledged football and
baseball fan." he says. He was sur
prised by the teamwork and in
dividual skill required by the Amer
ican games.
Brother Patrick. Irish from the
tips of his toes to reddish glint In
his hair, explains his Scotch brogue
by saying he lived in Glasgow from
{childhood.
He came to Brownsville about a
year ago as an Instructor at St.
Joseph's College after teaching six
years at the Marlst prep school near
Turin, Italy. U was In the Italian
school that he became fluent in
French and Spanish—that la, as
fluent as a Scotch brogue would
permit.
The Marlst Brothers, of course,
operate educational Institutions
throughout the world. Including St.
■ Joseph's College here.

MOSTLY ASTERISKS
It is surprising that some enter
I prising Valley bar keep has not hit
on the happy idea of opening a
resort named “The Office.”
...
That would furnish an ideal set
up for the boys who like their gig
gle-water but cannot tell the little
helpmeet a canard.
• • •
When the little woman asks
“Where - have - you - been?” In a
don't - lie - to - me tone, without a
twinge of the conscience friend
hubby oould answer with convic
tion:
• • •
"At The Office’ my dear; at The
Office*.”
• • •
And still staying within the
boundaries of veracity, he might go
so far as to add:
• • •
“My elbows are tired and my
♦ knees are weak from my activities
at The Office’.'*
* * *
Enterprising barkeeps In other
parts of the state have capitalized
On this Idea and It is said to go
over with a bang.

GAME FISHING
TO BEGIN SOON
Tarpon, Jacks and Mackerel
Expected In Valley
Waters
(Special to The Herald)
PORT ISABEL March 7 —A quest
for some of the game fishes which
are caught in waters of the coast
and Gulf in this section is to be
started from this plont soon. In or
der to "inaugurate the season” for
these fish.
In view of the coldest February In
31 yean, the game fish have not re
turned after their winter vacation
trip into the tropics, although some
"sleepers” In the Gulf considerable
distance offshore are to be sought
by sportsmen soon.
A tarpon was caught In the
Brownsville ship channel In Jan
uary, and was the flnt tarpon of the
year on the Texas coast, but he was
one of those that had not left, and
the honor of catching the first re
turn tarpon has yet to be won.
Records of J. W. Pate, well known
pilot here, show that last year the
first tarpon was caught on January
28. after an extremely mild winter.
The first Jackflsh were caught on
March 30 last year, and the first
Spanish mackerel and king mackerel
on May 8.
Many fishermen express the belief
that king mackerel go out farther
from shore. Instead of moving south,
during the winter, and that some
may be caught in the region of the
snapper banks.
Borne expeditions in that direction
are planned for the near future.

‘Sanctions’ New
Game In London
. LONDON. IJP>— Politics have in
vaded the nursery in England with
a new game called "sanctions" and
played something like checkers.
The equipment is a board with
small movable pieces, two red and
twenty black. The red men are “ag
gressors" and have broken the
League covenant; the blacks are
"League states" seeking to enforce
sanctions.
If the red aggressors are driven
Into a position in which they cannot
move, sanctions are held to have
Hcesaded But if the rads capture
10 of the League pieces, sanctions
have failed.
Inventors of the game are sus
pected of being realists, for the
chances have been so calculated that
stalemate Is the most frequent re
sult.
