Bcacoin Sports Reporter
In a good pitching duel between
Phillips Manning and Walter Snider,
Manning took the decision 5 to 3 over
the younger moundsman. Manning
pulled out of two holes Sunday to
make his pitching look superb.
Walter had the edge on Manning
from the standpoint of hits, limiting
the Crabs to 8 hits, while his mates
were collecting 11.
3.2 In l'ort Lavaca
Snider weakened in the third and
suffered 4 consecutive hits, allowing
the Crabs to put over 2 runs. Newlin
came up in the (3th and got one on the
nose for a homer to make the Crabs
3 runs. Clarence Shelton scored the
first Palacios counter in the second
by first getting on the paths with a
single to left, going to third on an
infield error. He then scored as J.
Snider placed a perfect bunt down the
3rd base line. Hunt made the next
run in the eight, thereby legalizing
3.2 in Port Lavaca. Loyal Port La-
vaca citizens protested vigorously to
Palacios for interference with her Vol-
stead Act and promptly sent P. Flow-
ers across the plate with a double to
center by Jocketz, to break the spell.
J. Snider and Hunt Star on Defense
T. J. Hunt and Julius Snider were
the defensive stars Sunday. Every as-
sist Snider received at the hot corner
required fast spectacular fielding. He
robbed Jocketz of a hit by taking his
grounder 15 feet back of third base
and on the foul line. He made a quick
throw to first, the ball hitting the
ground and Hunt making a nice pick-
up to retire Jocketz on a close play.
Hunt made a number of sensational
plays on first base.
The Shelton brothers led the
Sharks with the willow, each collecting
3 hits in 4 times up.
Port Lavaca will be here Sunday to
hold the lead thus far gained, while
the Kings of the Sea will be strug-
gling to even the series. The gamt
will start at 3:30 at West End Park.

Early Wednesday Carlos Helander
and Miss Jaunita Ellis with another
girl and two boys were in an auto
crash at the corner of McKinney Ave.
and Dowling street,Houston. Carlos,
who was driving was the most serious-
ly injuried and was taken to the St.
Joseph's infirmary. The girls received
only minor injuries and the other boy
were not hurt.
A message was immediately sent
here to Carlos' parents Mr. and Mrs.
F. C. Helander and Mrs. Helander and
daughter Mir-s Mildred, accompanied
by J. C. Stewart left as soon as pos-
sible for Houston.
Miss Mildred and (Dude) returned
last evening and report Carlos' in-
juries not as serious as was first re-
ported and that he would probably
be able to be brought home Sunday.
Just how the accident happened is
not known, but a car of negroes com-
ing down Dowling street hit the car
going out on McKinney, broadside,
with such force as to cause the smash-
up, in which Carlos might have been
killed and almost demolishing his car.
The driver of the other car was only
slightly injured.

huge success every one says it was.
'.large crowds were present each day

tance of Mr. G. H. Faubion. The paid
admission an the dance floor was one
of the largest in the history of the
Pavilion. Every one seemed to enjoy
the day. The behavior of such a large
crowd was exceedingly good.

th^ county in every way possible to
prevail on the State Highway Com-
mission to make these designations,
particularly for the reason that if tay
or all of the other projects are approv-
ed, the county funds would be exhaust-
ed and the county would be unable to
pay even the 70% of the construction
costs. The attached correspondence to
those two applications is self-explana-
tory and I will appreciate your making
a complete survey of these requests at
your earliest convenience.
Yours very truly,

"Round-up of 1933
is Theme of Mystic
G. R. Conference
Under the colorful title, "The Round
Up of 1933," the Girl Reserves of the
Southwest, at Camp Mystic the past
week, carried out the theme of their
1933 conference, "This Present World
and Our Relation to It," in a most
interesting and unique manner. Be-
ginning with the life of the early set-
tlers, the romantic history of the
Southwest was dramatically depicted
through pageantry and dance, song
and story up to the present time.
Present day problems personal and
family adjustments, internation and
interracial relations, economic and so-
cial issues were realistically faced by
these young delegates in their lecture
and discussion groups. The camp ac-
tivities culminated in a Cowboy Round
Up, covering a period of three days,
during which were featured camp fires,
rodeo, chuck wagons, square dances,
water pageant, craft exhibit, and star
parties. Cowboys, wagon bosses, old
settlers, Franciscans Friars, and In-
dians added colorful touches to the
festivities. The closing pageant, "The
Round-up of 1933," vividly portrayed
the passing the ideals of the past to
the generations of the future and chal-
lenged the girl of today to face the
problems of our present world.
Miss Margaret Nester of Palacios
arrd Mrs. Bretch Taulbee of Bay City
were in charge of the Cowboy Round-
up. Other conference leaders, whose
shills and interests contributed to the
richness of the conference program
were: Miss Ruth Perkins, National
Board, Y. W. C. A., New York, Con-
ference executive; Miss Charlie Mae
Carter, Galveston - Houston District
Executive, Conference program chair-
man; Dr. Arthur Long, University of
Texas, psychology and international
relations; Dr. M. Simpson, San An-
tonio, personal relations; Miss Paula
Powell, Oklahoma City, dramatics;
Miss Mary Jarvis, Fort Worth, crafts;
Miss Pentile, San Antonio, swimming;
Miss Sara Beth Boggus, Houston,
worship; Miss Ruth Crosby, Fort
Worth, music; Miss Mary Elizabeth
Griffith, Beaumont, records; Miss R.
Wilson, San Antonio, recreation; Mrs.
R. Moore, San Antonio, astronomy;
Mr. S. McDonald, Hunt, Texas folk
lore.
Delegates attending conference from
the Houston-Galveston District were:
Misa Ethel Doss, Gulf; Miss Hazel
Skinner, Freeport; Mrs. E. E. Pearce,
Gulf; Mrs. Bretch Taulbee, Bay City;
Miss Mai'garet Nester, Palacios; Miss
Charlie May Carter.
Two S. A. Pastors
Go to Encampment
The Rev. Neal Ellis and Dr. Roy
C. Angell were in Palacios, Tuesday
with a group of San Antonio Baptists
to attend the encampment which will
be held there through next Monday.
They both are on the faculty of the
encampment. They will return in time
to attend the city-wide prohibition
rally to be held at the auditorium
Sunday night by the United Forces
for Prohibition.—San Antonio Light.
Mr. find Mrs. Hugh Dis-mukes went
to Houston Friday, then to Iluntsville,
where they visited with relatives until
Sunday, and were accompanied home
by Mrs. D. D. Rittenhouse, who had

and tfae^-milies. s
tiMMMMl
Palacios entered heartily into a gala
celebration of Independence Day Tues-
day aided by thousands of visitors
from the interior, who sought the cool-
ing gulf breeze as well as being eager
for a day of recreation and entertain-
ment. The crowd was estimated to
have been the largest we have ever
had on a Fourth of July celebration.
Visitors began to arrive early in the
morning and continued throughout the
day. A well arranged program offered
entertainment for those who sought
pleasure, and from the apparent en-
joyment everywhere, the day was a
huge success.
The big event of the day was the
Bathing Beauty Revue, at six o'clock
with six entrants, Evalyn Brennan.of
Bay City; Faye Roon, Port Lavaca;
Peggy Green, Victoria; Agnes Heim,
West Columbia; Bernice Williams,
Blessing, and Marian Harrison, Pala-
cios.
These young ladies registered at
Hotel Palacios where they were met
by Mesdames Ernest Wehmeyer and
Lee Tompkins, at the noonhour they
were entertained with a huncheon at
the Pavilion Cafe, Mrs. H. V. Barr and
Miss Doris Schillingburg, being hos-
tesses.
That this event was one of the at-
tractive features of the day's program
was evidenced by the immense crowd
gathering around the reviewing stand
on the bay shore in front of Hotel
Palacios long before the appointed
hour and remaining there patiently
until the girls had appeared and
marched away. This interest was
further evinced by the majority of the
crowd remaining and as many as pos-
sible gathering on the pavilion at
eight o'clock when the girls appeared
in their evening dresses and the final
decisions were made and names of
winners announced.
The five judges were out-of-town
gentlemen and when Mr. Phillips an-
nounced tl^at Miss West Columbia
had been given first place, Miss Port
Lavaca, second and Miss Victoria
third,, everyone seemed to be delight-
ed with the decisions and felt that they
had been made fair and with much
deliberation.
This feature of a 4th of July cele-
bration in Palacios was a new venture
and was sponsored by the Ladies Aux-
iliary of the Palacios Chamber of
Commenre with Mrs. J. R. Wagner In
charge. Inviations were sent to the
Chamber of Commerce of all nearby
towns to have their city represented
in the Revue and the response was
very gratifying, so much so that this
may be made a regular feature of
Palacios 4th of July celebrations from
now on.
The days celebration opened with
a very nice parade in which, busl-
iness houses, organizations, citizens
and the rodeo riders hnd a part. Head-
ed by the city fire truck, followed by
a decorated car in which rode the city
officials and then the band this parado
marched around the city square and
park. Mr. R. L. Phillips with his mega-
phone in the Texas Natural Gas and
Utlities Go's truck made the announce-
ments for all events and we just
couldn't have pulled off the celebration
without him. Good music was furnish-
ed by a band from El Campo and this-
too was something we could hardly
have done without.
Immediately after the parade the
band led the crowd to the race track
where some exciting horse and pony
racing was enjoyed. In the first race
the horse entered by D. A. Strane of
Victoria led all others and was given
the cash prize of $15. In the pony
race, Bud Sweeny got first, $5.00,
L. E. Frankson second $3.00 and W.
Slone third, $2.00.
The boat racing which took place
early in the afternoon drew hundreds
of people to the bay shore and pavi-
lion. The fast boat of Herbert Arlla,
of Houston, easily took the lead and
won by a big margin. Ths second place
The latest report on the tropical
disturbance that has been in the Gulf
all week recieved shortly after 3
o'clock is as follows: Reports indicate
tropical disturbance will cross coast
line this afternoon with center short
distance south of Rio Grande.
This hurricane came into the gulf
early this week and has been bouncing
around out there several hundred miles
from the coast. A number of reports
have been received as to where it
would go inland at different times but
it kept on going down the gulf with
the above report the latest we have
been able to get. Palacios has had a
brisk north east wind throughout the
day and a very high tide which seems1
to be extent of the disturbance that
will be felt here.
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Iluddleston and
baby daughter, of Kingsville, came in
Saturday night and remained until
Tuesday night, guests of their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Huddleston, and
other relatives. They were accompan-
ied by their sister, Miss Elaine Hud-
dleston, who had visited them and rel-
atives in San Antonio the past month.

A prohibition rally is to be held
at the B. Y. P. U. Auditorium Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock, with Dr.
Wallace Bassett as speaker. Dr. Bas-
sett, who is pastor of Cliff Temple
Baptist Church of Dallas, and who
has been speaking each morning dur-
ing the Encampment, has been very
active in the fight to retain prohibi-
tion. It is hoped that all the citizen-
ship of Palacios will attend this ser-
vice, in view of the fact that we are
so soon to go to the polls to vote on
this matter. Carroll B. Ray.
Caddie Wolf
Miss Caddie Wolf, sister of Rev M.
M. Wolf, pastor of the South Main
Baptist Church, died at her home in

Miss Wolf with her brother and
sisters made Palacios her home many
years before moving to Dallas about
four years ago and during that time
endeared herself to a large circle of
friends who regret to learn of her
passing on and extend to the bereaved
brothers and sisters their deepest sym-
pathy.

The surf board riding contest fur-
nished entertainment and thrills after
this. Henry Studeman and Henry Law-
son proved to be the best boys at this
sport while Miss Ouida Gray and Billie
Robinson were the girls to win out.
A double header ball game a report
of which is in another column, was
attended by those who are interested
in the national game. The rodeo, also
reported elsewhere, drew a large
crowd, and the Queen Theatre was
packed all afternoon for the matinee
performances.
The day's festcities closed with danc-
ing on the pavilion, music furnished
by the Southerner's orchestra, and
those who enjoy this form of amuse-
ment remained until the wee small
hours of the morning. No accidents
of any kind marred the days pleasure
and the crowd was unusually orderly
and observant of all ti-affic rules, and
the chamber of Commerce of Palacios
has put on another successful fourth
of July celebration. The Texas Natur-
al Gas and Utilities Co. and the Cen-
tral Power and Light Co. offered
prizes for the two best features in
the parade and the first one went to
the float of "Future Bathing Beauties
of Palacios, put on by Muriel's Novel-
ty Shoppe and -thp second to the Baby
Girl Reserves, ai the best organiza-
tion represented.

nual encampment of the B, T. S. con-
vention of Texas. While the opening
session was not held until Monday

urday and by Sunday night all cot-
tages were filled and many others

most successful encampments ever
held.

C. E. Notes
Visitors add glamour to the most
ordinary undertakings, and as Chris-
tian Endeavor could never be ordin-
ary, visitors give more than usual dis-
tinction to the meetings. On July 2
there were seven visitors whose pres-
ence was duly appreciated.
The meeting opened with songs, fol-
lowed by the roll call and reading of
the minutes by the secretary, Naomi
Harrison. During the business meet-
ing, conducted by the president, Carl
Trull, the County Christian Endeavor
Union, which met at Palacios on July
3, was discussed. An important busi-
ness letter was read by Mrs. Price.
The program, led by Mrs. Price, op-
ened with the song, "America the
Beautiful."' Marian Nester read the
Scripture for the lesson, "How Can
We Make Our Natidn More Christian?"
After sentence prayers, the son^r,
"Give Of Your Best to the Master,"
was sung. Leila Sorrell discussed the
topic, "Business," and Isadore Bentz
gave his ideas on "Christian Home
Life." Other discussions were "Mar-
riage," by R. Harrison! "College," by
Billy Boiling; "Are We Off the Christ
Standard," by Nell Sorrell; "Should
We Oppose War?" by Bob Trull; and
ii short story by Mrs. Price.
The meeting closed with the Mizpah.
On Monday evening the County C.
E. met with the Palacios Endeavorers
and while the attendance was not up
to par, nothing lacked in enthusiasm
and interest. The Bay City Juniors
again carried oft' the attendance cup.
The gist of the evening's progi-am was
u report of the recent Conference, held
at Kerrville and planning to send a
delegate to the International Conven-
tion to be held in Milwaukee.
