L. J. Daugherty of Navo was in
Denton Friday to get ballots and
voting box for that precinct for
the election. He said “Our part of
the county will get a better crop
than ft did last year. There art
some mighty *,ood pieces of cotton,
snd some are not so good. New
bkoma have come out on the cot-
ton in places and with a late fall the
new cotton may yet have time to
mature."
But it was a Kreat Navy crew that
won the championship in Antwerp
in 1920 and a great Yale crew that
finished first In Paris in 1924. These
three crews are all great crews and
not one of them—unless the Navy
eight has the majority of votes—
was the greatest crew of al) times.

All of the Denton merchants who
went to Eastern markets have re-
turned home and their purchases
are arriving daily. The windows of
several of the firms are already
taking on an appearance of Fall as
, the merchandise for that season is
being shown. Fur trimmed coats,
heavier dresses for street wear and
felt hets make the stores take on
the early Fall look. Denton mer-
chants report that the early fall
arrfvatei are very attractive and
that the market this year afforded
many new ideas in clothing It 13

With hopes of building a foot-
ball team this year that will ctar.d
well up in the district percentage
column. Coach H. V. Stanton on
Sept. 10 will begin work with a col-
lection of applicants for positions
or. the eleven.
The training camp will be estab-
lished ? week before the opening
of the school session on Sept. 17
snd about 20 men are expected to
enroll in training activttled with
the opening of the camp. When the
school term opens 30 or 40 addi-
tional men are expected to start
er who ever lived. And they havd
not forgotten that Hal Chase used
to be called the "peerless leader "
Bill may not be able to keep the
Cards going at their present rate
of speed. The team has been a trifle
above its head all season and there
is bound to be a slump.
But this much can be said- if
McKechnie can't lead St. Louis to
victory it is certain that no else
could.

victory for the cause of prohibition.
In claiming the victory tor their
cause It is assumed that the of-
ficials have taken it for granted
that Ray Barbuti did not have a
bowl of sherry and egg before he
went out to win the only race that
the United States won on the track.
Since the “llkker question"
seems to hive been settled to the
great benefit of Amerlesn nthleles

be taken as indication* of two of
the most thrilling home stretch

The Yankee* were expected to

The National Leagu? was lock'd
upon aa the circuit that would pro-
vide the thrills for th? baseball
fans thl* year, and tt has not dix-
appointed.
The St Louis Cardinals and the
New York Giants are in the midst
of one of the most bitter of base
ball battles for the league leader-
ship, and within a space of five and
<-ne half games behind the leading
Cardinal* are grouped ths Chicago

Pittsburgh Pirate*.

New York ........................>38

Cincinnati ...................68
Pittsburgh • ...._............ M
Thus, in a space of .045 point*
are grouped five teams, all of whom
must be conceded at least a chance
in the final sprint.
In fifth place are the Pittsburgh
Ptrater, but there are few who be-
lieve they will remain there. Pitts-
burgh at the outset of the season,
looked to possess the tpratest
strength of any National League
club.
They started jlowly—*o slowly,
in fact, they almost lost all chance.
TH« last few weeks, nowever, ha*

Near the end of his career in the

Bill .McKechnie can't keep from
winning pennant*
1 Now that he is at the helm of
the St. Louis Cardinals, the Red
Birds are coming along with a sud-
den rush that aeems certain to lard
1 them in the World Series.
* McKechnie started hl* winning
‘ ways while tn Pittsburgh when he
1 took u team that iiad been finish-
ing in the ruck season after season
and make it about the most power-
; ful aggregation that the Smoky City
’ fans hav» ever seen. He took young-
sters like Pie Traynor. Glenn Wright
and Paul Waner and turned Usem
into stare. The starring material
wa* here, for all three were natur-
al ball players, but it took McKeeh-
nle’s steady guiding hand to get the
best out of his men.
After winning a World Senes.
Bill's trouble* began.
There have been so many stories
told about the Pittsburgh affair
that It has become one of the moat
muddled incidents In baseball. The
gist of the matter seem* to be that
McKechnie could not get along with
Fred Clarke, the veteran coach.
Put It Up To Dreyfus*
Others say that Bill was stub-
bor and refused to take advice. It
isen't important which version is
correct, but it is a fact that Mc-
Kechnie went to Barney Dreyfus*
owner of the Pirates and told turn
that he would either have to get
rid of Clarke or start looking lor
a new manager Dreyfuss started
looking for a new manager and
found Donie Bush.
After that McKechpie scouted
around a while and finally succeed-
ed in landing with the 8t Louis
Cardinals when Bob O'Farrell gave
up the job of managing and decid-
ed to stick to catching.
It would be Interacting to open
