Bobby Batsell
Shoots Perfect
Score In Skeet
■rownsville s sensational boy
•keet shooter. Bobby Batsell. son
of Mr and Mrs. J. H. Batsel. shot
his first perfect string on the skeet
field here Thursday afternoon.
The 13-year-old boy. using a 16
gauge automatic shotgun, broke 25
straight In a practice round. He
had previously broken 24 straight
after missing the first target.
Bobby la believed to be the young
est skeet shooter in the world to
score a perfect 25. although this Is,
being checked with the cartridge
manufacturers for definite statistics
Bobby has been shooting skeet
only a little over a month. His
first two or three scores were low.
but he then suddenly got the hang
pf the sport and started shooting
around 20 regularly. He shot a 20
ffcit round with a 410. and has
making consistently good
with the small bore gun since
arounc
If the boy continues to Improve
to his average scores it is consid
ered likely he will be a strong con
tender for junior tf not senior
honor* In big urns competition

15 to 1 Score
Pounding out 15 base hits the
Brownsville All-Stars made an im
pressive start in the Valley-wide
soft ball tournament sponsored by

Benito Thursday night, smothering
the Donna All-Stars in a barrage ol
runs. 15 tc 1.
With Sergeant Szpeinski, Browns
ville hurling ace. in fine lorm the
Donna All-Stars seemed doomed for
a shut-out until the ninth inning
when they managed to push a run
around for their lone score of the
game. Szpeinski set 11 men down
via the strikeout route during the
evening, but loosened up a bit and
granted three bases on balls in the
final two frames. Ten Donna errors
helped the Brownsville cause along.
O. Hanna. Brownsville slugger,
paced his mates In hltlng, slapping
three base hits Including a homer
out cf six trips to the plate. Hough
talmg. hard-hitting shortstop, also
garnered three hits, including a
double and a triple during the eve
ning. Jeanes, hitting a four-base
blow in the seventh, circled the
bases only to be called out for fail
ing to touch second.
Austin. Donna first baseman, was
the only member of his team able to
solve Szpeinski‘s deliveries for more
than one hit, contributing two of
the tctal of five bingles registered,
Brownsville All-Stars as a result
of the win Thursday night will tangle
with the Edinburg team next Thurs

GAMB Of WORlO SER.'ES LAST FAU
PENNANT RACE
IS DUPLICATE
Tigers and Yanks Re-Wage
Battle of 1934; Cubs
Lose to Pirates
(By Tha Auoclated Frew)
Pennant races in successive years
seldom resemble each other as
closely as the Tiger-Yankee scrap
for American league honors in 1934
and 1935.
Just a year ago Mickey Coch
rane’s rampaging Tigers had chalk
ed up victory No. 2 on a 14-game
winning streak that left the Yanks
far behind Friday they were in
the same position with their last
two games recorded in the victory
column.
On Aug 3. 1934, both teams had
dropped 37 games, the same num
ber of setbacks they have received
this season. The Tigers, having
played more games, held a three
and one-half game lead Friday
against only one game a year ago.
The Tigers widened the gap
Thursday by turning back the last
place St. Louis Browns 6 to 3 while
their rivals were kept idle by the
schedule. Alvin Crowder, veteran
right hander, held the Brownies to
four scattered hits and no runs un
; til the ninth, when the heat got to
him and he was nicked for four
i blows and three runs.
Elon Hogsett was called in to stop
the rally. With one out and one
on. the Indian hurler retired the
first man but walked the next two
j to load the bases. He then bore
down and fanned Bums for the
third out Hank Greenberg led
Detroit's 14-hlt attack with three
hits, but Crowder helped his own
cause with a triple and single.
The third place Chicago White j
Sox missed an opportunity to tie
the Yankees for second place by
I falling before the Cleveland Indians
8 to 3. The Indians, snapping out
of their batting slump, collected 14
hits off Carl Fischer and Johnny
Salveson. Odell Hale contributed
a homer and a double.
Earl Whitchill scord his ninth
triumph of the season as he pitch

Olympic Games Clouded
Again by German Attitude
new YORK. Aug. a. The
American Olympic committee lined
up Friday to combat any attempts
to oppose American participation in
the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin.
Through Avery Brundage, Its
president, the committee replied to
Jeremiah T. Mahoney, president of
the Amateur Athletic Union, who
riterated his opposition to the
United States sending Athletes to
Berlin If charges of racial discrim
ination are proved.
Referring to the revival of oppos
ition which followed the latest anti
Jewish and anti-Cathollc activities
in Germany. Brundage said:
“Pledges satisfactory to the inter
•
national and American Olympic
committees have been made bv Ger
many respecting the treatment of
Its own athletes as well as those of
visiting countries.
“If It develops these promises
have been broken, further consider
ation can be given tc the subject
by the American Olympic commit
tee."
Brundage admitted protests have
been recetved from Jewish organ -
I izations charging discrimination
and urging the American Olvmpic
authorities to act. He said there is
no intention of forcing a showdown
in the immediate future on the ra
cial or religious Issues.
to 5 victory over the Boston Red
Sox.
Competition In the National lea
gue saw the Pittsburgh Pirates aid
the faltering New York Giants by
trimming the threatening Chicago
Cubs 6 to 5. The defeat dropped
the Cubs a full game back of the
Giants, who were idle.
The Pirates scored all their runs
off Lon Warneke In the second with
an attack climaxed by Arkv
Vaughans 16th homer with the
bases loaded.
Dizzy Dean failed to go the route
but he received credit for his 17th
victory of the season as the Card
inals defeated the Reds 7 to 5 with
the temperature at 95 degrees.
In the only other National lea
gue contest, Tom Zachary was a
little more effective in the pinches
than Ben Cantwell as the Dodgers
defeated the Braves 4 to 2.
