Cuero baseball fans are looking
forward to the two game series \
which will be played by the Cuero
Hi Gobblers and the winner of the
Austin High-Brtlett series.
♦ ♦ ♦
In our opinion the Austin Maroons
will most probably be the opponents
of the Gobblers in the two games
here. The Maroons hava not lost a
game this year, and boast one of the I
strongest hurling staffs in this sec-
tion of the state.

The series here will decide the
championship of South and Central
Texas for the Gobblers have whipped
every team in this section of the!
stare, the Maroons have left a trail!
of defeat throughout, thei^ sectftm.
and the Bartlett High nine lias won
game after game in Central Texas.

Cuero boasts a strong high school
club, and we are backing the' Gob-
blers to do even better than break
even with tire Maroons here. With
hot weather. Arnold will be in good ^
form and Harwood seems to be at
his height at the present time.

The trotters go to ^Gonzales Sun-
day, where they cross bats wit^ the
Minute Men. Gonzales has one of
the best fielding amateur clubs in
South Texas, and if they get • their
bats to working against the rTott«rs,
look out.

Hurling has proven to he the Trot-

and at ihe present time it lAoks like
it will continue to be the big prob-

horizon line she could glimpse the
form of a huge boat, made small
and tiny like the speck it was on
that vast expanse of deep, dark
blue water. Nearer the shore a
small sail-boat sped swiftly over
the smooth-looking sea, careening
heavily to one side as the wind
caught the white canvas. Still fur-
ther in, the great waves came to
the fulfillment of their promise
and broke, scattering high tie
heavy foam that leapt up as thougS
to catch the sun rays, and making
effervescent rainbows that were
flung down into a transparent
greenness that finally rolled up on
the yeliow sand.
Here and there a group of bath-
ers dotted the beach. But now
there was little lolling in the
sand, and the cool of the air forced
them into activity. Big, brightly
colored balle were tossed up in the
air and were deftly caught or went
rolling along almost into the water.
Here several figures ran bravely
into the water and jumped the
waves until they could swim in a
sea more calm; there a vivid red
splotch of a bather came breath-
lessly in from out beyond, shaking
the dripping water from head and
shoulders.
On the land side shops flaunted
brightly decorated windows, exhib-
iting / soft woolen scarves and
sweaters, laces and silks, beads
and jewelry. Turkish' merchants
in baggy white trousers and red
fezes cried their oriental rugs
and embroideries to the passer-by.
Hot dog stands sent out pungent
odors of cooking iheat, mustafd and

blazoned with posters announcing
the entertainment of the day.

Two men cam* alongside the
chair and stared at Adele. “Par-

"Yes/* Adolo acknowledged, look-

fWe’re from the lattffnaUonal
News Service," the maaxexplained.
"CouM we get a picture of you?
You’re ■playing in ‘Powder My
Back’- jtill, aren’t you?*’ •
"Why. yee—I don’t mind II you
want to^take a picture. Hate you
any objections. George, to being
photographed with me?" Adele
turned to her companion as the
man wheeling the chair brought It
to a stop.
"Certainly nob” George agreed.
"But I’m not particularly impor-
tant, so why not have it taken by
yourself."
“If you don’t mind we’ll get one
shot of you both in the chair and
then another one of Mine Dayton
on the Boardwalk." the reporter
suggested as the camera man be-
gan releasing the springs In the

the pusher and turned with the
photographer to run on ahead.
The chair moved slowly towards
the eye of the camera as the re-
porter beckoned. Click-click, went
the machine. *
"There,” the reporter exclaimed
as he stopped them again. “Now
would you mind getting opt and
letting us hare a picture of yon
strolling along the boardwalk?" He
began to help Adele out of the chair
as George pulled bkch the rug.
“Now just walk along quickly.
Ready, Jack?” h* called to the
p bo tog rap bar.
“Yep!” Click-click went the
camera again. "Now can I get fast
one more picture of the two of you
—still. If you don’t mind, sir?"
The photographer addressed
George. "Just stand right here."
He placed them in position with the
ocean &s a background. He focus-
ed the camera and was through in
a moment "Thanks, Miss Day-
ton." He began folding up the ma-
chine.
"Ceuld I have your name, please?”
The reporter was fumbling about
in his pocket for a pencil and a
place of paper.
“This Is Mr. George Robertson,
president of the Brookton National
Bank. Iowa,” Adele supplied the
information.
“Thank you, Mias Dayton." The
reporter scribbled the name on the
back ot-a soiled envelope. “These’U
be out bn a few days. Good-bye."
He turned with hie companion and

just as you said. Well, enough’s
enough. But l‘m not through with
this—yet!" Harry dashed out of
the room, seized hi*, hat and
slammed the door behind him.
Adele laughed—laughed mirth-
lessly. bitterly. The sound rang
through the room aad reverberated
in her own ears. Laugh—laugh—
laugh—until It choked her. She
flung herself down on the couch—
laughing. She stared at the empty
frame that had held Harry's pic-
ture. Laughing — laughing — until
the tears came, and she sobbed
brokenly. * /

wasting any words she ran to the
