Result Friday
Klwanis 21, Pan-American T.
The Klwanis "ten” went to the
head of the class In the Brownsville
Playground Ball league Friday
night when they took a rousing 21-7
encounter from the Pan-American
Flyers. The score does not do the
game Justice, for the crowd, the
largest since the Valley-wide Tour
nament conducted here last year,
thoroughly enjoyed the baseball
field day.
Ruflno Lopez, hustling little Pan
Am catcher who learned his base
ball under Uncle Billy Dlsch at the
University of Texas, turned In the
nost sensational play of the fray
In the seventh stanza. He went
back fast to take Adkins' pop foul
Just before It hit the backstop.
Overbalanced by the try. he fell but
held on to the bloated globule. Tak
ing advantage <of this break. La
Roche streaked off third for home.
Lopez dove head-on across the plate
to tag the Klwanis runner Just be
fore he slid Into the pay-station.
It was a daring piece of work and
it drew a round of applause.
The Klwanis thrills were sup
plied by Bob Jackson, high school
coach who covers the short posi
tion. and Joe King, keystone sacker
who tames the grounders as llttla
broth* * Manuel does the Hons.
King did some nice fielding work
In the early part of the game. On
one occasion he robbed Lopez of
a sure hit with a running one-hand
catch. Jackson went wild during
the last part of the game, stopping
everything that came In his direc
tion. In the seventh Dud Martin
slashed what looked like a sure hit
between third and short. Jackson
went over fast, made the stop and
threw the runner out by Inches.
Prank Critz. the Kiwis twlrler.
limited the Plyers to five blngles,
two of which were home runs by
Clemente Oarcia and Benny Cruhm.
The civic clubber*, with Critz and
Bill King showing the way with
four hits each, hammered Lauver
for 19 safeties.

FRANK ASHLEY, former Browns
ville high school athlete who set the
Valley district Javelin record In It®'
with a torn of 156 feet, placed third
in the Southwest Conference meet
Saturday while performing for the
University of Texas Longhorns.
Prank Is heaving the spear around
190 feet these days, but Walter
Skripka of the Aggies 1c throwing the
javelin out of the lot. The Fanner
established a new conlerence rec
ord Saturday with a heave of 306
feet. Stt inches on his seoond throw.
Ashley wa& an excellent nigh
school athlete, but it U not likely
that his javelin record for the Val
ley district will stand. Norwood
Black of Rio Hondo should have
broken It this season, but he con
centrated on the half mile and did
not do so well In the spear tosa.
In the years gone by, the Valley**
leading Javelin throwers were Gar
cia cl Raymondvil>, Tomlinson of
Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Ballanfani

THIS EVENT seems to have been
slighted in the past, the theory be
ing that the schools did not care
to put out the jack on Javelins. An
other thing against this event in
high school is the danger involved.
Ever under constant supervision. It
is dangerous. particularly when
youngsters are wandering around
the track infield. One child waa In
jured here this year.

THERE IS a handsome young gen*
tleman In charge of girls’ play
ground activities at the high school
these days, and its 99 chances to
100 that he is an old pal of yours.
Believe It or not, it's Ben Brlte, the
old Verdi maestro himself. Ben, you
know, formerly coached the Browns
ville high school Eagles but took
charge of the Verdi school system
last yetr. He returned here recent
ly after his school year ended. Ben.
one of the most popular coaches
ever to hit the Valley, is filling in
for the remainder of the school
year here. * * ^
But our operatives report the*
there is a strong likelihood that he
will be back in Brownsville next year
In the capacity of instructor In
science and biology. _
Ben's return to Brownsville threw
the local playground ball league in
to turmoil Every team In the cir
cuit with exception of the Fort
Brown Yankees have been dicker
ing for his services. He will either
play with the Kiwanls or BPOE*.
Eight railroads In Missouri have
converted their rights-of-way Into
sanctuaries for arlld birds and
' animals.
