Cham! ton 12, Vanhorn 4; base on balls
pionship Etching was displayed by
both Hutton and Van Horn, and
they allowed a total of only seven
hits during the game. !
The Oilers were at a loss in try-'
tug to hit Hutton’s speed ball, and
TanHorn, with a slow ball that
evidently had “everything” on it,
proved almost' as destructive to the
Tipton boys, allowing only four
hits, but they managed to bring in
three tallies off the four hits.
Both teams played splendid ball,
and the Tipton aggregation was
hacked by a goodly number of
boosters in the grandstand.
The second game of the series
will be played at Tipton, next Sun-
day, starting at 3 o’clock. The
third game, should Electra win
at Tipton, Sunday, will be played
at Vernon on Sunday, September
as.
William Ervi, secretary of' the
Red River Valley League, asks that
fans going to Tipton next Sunday
who have room for another occu-
pant stop at the City Newsstand,

mum fines and seek to collect'them
later rather than force the county
taxpayers to be burdened with feed-

vagrancy comprised a major por-
tion of the cases handled.
A record crowd was present at
Judge Coffman’s court, last Thurs-
day, when a County Line farmer
was tried for striking a neighbor’s
boy. A six man jury rendered a ver-
dict of guilty and a fine of $30.70
was assessed. The man was allow-
ed to post a surety bond for the
amount.
of Commerce/ last Friday, "and in
this he predicted that the huge cot-
ton crop now being harvested in
Texas should go a long way toward,
liquidating debts in the agricultural
district. He enumerated the state’s
resources of $300,000,000 in oil in-
come, its $175,000,000 in livestock
ready for market this year, its 71,-
000,080 bushels of wheat and vast
storage of other grain and declared
that while cotton and wheat grow-
ers had little chance of liquidating
last year the improved prices this
year will menu millions of dollars
of new income.
■» Mr. Kell sees excellent chances
for the Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration and the new federal home
loan bill benefit to Texas greatly. He
says the granting of new loans to
prevent foreclosures on land will
give new impetus to farm projects
and the releasing of new money
in the R. F. Corporation projects
will help with solving the unem-
ployment situation.
r After three weeks, of hard work,
under the guiding hand ' of Coach
W. W. Gibson, the Electra ' hig.n
school Tigers are gradually taking j
on the air of a formidable eleven
to stage any team in the" district
a real battle for the championship.
Something that resembles “the old
fight” is breaking out among their
ranks, and if nothing else, it .ap-
pears that a fighting Tiger - eleven
with plenty of- spirit will be 'pre-
sented against the Wichita Falls

by the time of the opening game,
some of the boys will undoubtedly
prove masters of this art of the
game. Practically one hour has been
devoted to blocking every afternoon,
since the opening of the training
camp over three weeks ago. It has
been some time mnee the local squad
has shown any promise as blockers,
which has shown in many of their
games on the offense. The mentors

While brutes were hatched
from eggs in OKLAHOMA
Ancient as they were, the span of time in which these
strange egg-laying brutes lived covers only a small
part of the history of the Cambro-Ordovician oil pool
in Oklahoma. This oldest of Mid-continent crudes,
carefully refined and blended in the great Sinclair
refineries, becomes Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil—a
product of 80 million years of Nature’s priceless mel-
lowing and filtering. Sinclair puts the crown touch of
quality on Sinclair Opaline by freeing it from wax and
non-lubricating petroleum jelly at as low as 60° F.
below zero. Try a crankcaseful—note how this oil
lasts in the heat of fast driving!

THE Bradford-Allegany crude oil which Sinclair refines
■ into Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil was already a es'
old when monsters like these came into being in Pennsyl-
vania. Much of Nature’s priceless mellowing and filter-
ing period had already passed even then—for Bradford-.. * -
Allegany crude was formed in the still-earlier Devonian \
Age, that wonderful age in earth’s history when oil-
forming conditions were most perfect. Before making it
into Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil, Sinclair de-waxes -
Bradford-Allegany crude and frees it from non-Iubricat-
ing petroleum jelly at'as low as 60° F. below zero. Ask
