T Adins Adds Another Achievement to
Record; Scores Eagle On Golf Course
Jim Adkins, who last week re-
corded a sensational climb onto
“top ’o the ladder” position, Sun-
day added another outstanding
achievement to his already bril-
liant record, having scored an eagle |
on Hole No. 1, the feat being at-
tested to by Lee Jones, Gordon
Samuelson and Bab Lewis, com-
posing the foursome in which young
Adkins was playing. This is the
first claim made upon the local
Country Club Golf Committee
since announcement of special
prizes was first made, the latter
part of July. The club offers a
golf ball for every eagle made on
any hole on the course; likewise
for a birdie on No. 4 hole, while
six months’ club dues are offered

for a hole in one. All such records
must have been made in foursomes,
and be attested to by the other
members of the foursome; like-
wise, must have been made in reg-
ulation play.
Aside from the foregoing, there
have been a few upsets on the golf
ladder, with quite a number of
contests, the majority of which re-
sulted in surrender of a golf ball
upon the part of the challenger,
rather than loss of position upon
the part upon the party challeng-
ed.
Notable among the changes the
past week has been the advance-
ment of J. B. Whiteman from Rung
6 to Position 5 on the ladder,
by defeating Virgil Jones. Inci-
dentally, Jones took a downward
skid to Rung 23, when he suffered
defeat also at the hands of J. P.
Jarvis, who thereby advanced to
Rung 6.
Dr. J. S. Anderson claimed Rung
No. 10, when Dr. D. W. Jordan
defaulted, only to lose the place to
F. R. Wulff, who exchanged Rung
21 for the same. Previously, H.
F. Schwenker had advenced from
Rung 21 to Rung 13, by defeating
Wulff.
Evans Adkins considerably bet-
tered his position when he defeat-
ed Chas. Samuel, thereby climbing
into Place 22, while Samuel drop-
ped to Rung 37. . , ,
Dr. Jack Ragsdale first showed
his prowess by challenging and
defeating Prof. D. A. Newton, ex-
changing Rung 50 for Rung 48.
Then Ragsdale defeated both Bab
Lewis and Grady Skelton, while
Lewis won from Skelton. In con-
sequence. Ragsdale advanced to
Rung 45, while Lewis retained
Rung 47, and Skelton dropped to
No. 48.

Poisons absorbed into the syste..
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,
bilious condition; coat the tongue;
foul the breath; sap energy, strength
and nerve-force. A little of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will clear |
up trouble like that, gently, harm
lessly, in a hurry. The difference it
will make in your feelings over night
will prove its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation
for over forty-seven years. This long
experience enabled him to make his
prescription just what men, women,
old people and children need to make
their bowels help themselves. Its
natural, mild, thorough action and
its pleasant taste commend it to
everyone. That’s why "Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin,” as it is called, is the
most popular laxative drugstores sell.

50 MASON COUNTY PLACES
AFFECTED BY ANTHRAX
About fifty places are affected
with charbon or anthrax in Mason
county at the present time, accord-
ing to R. B. Tate, county agent,
who says that about five n w cases
have been reported this week.
However, the disease does not seem
to be so strong in the new cases
as it has been.
Dr. G. W. Rosenberger, federal
veterinarian, is still in Mason and
will remain here until the outbreak
is well under control. The out-
break of the disease here is said
to be one of the most virulent and
veterinarians are having more dif-
ficulty finding control than ever
known. Loss of 120 head of stock
has been reported, however, there
Coach E. J. Powell will attend
the meeting of District 11 coaches
and school heads at Brownwood on
September 12th, to discuss grid
- . rules, and to complete schedules
purpose of organizing the state for the coming campaign. No prac-
with the view of nominating Gov- tice contests have been lined as
arnor Franklin D Rancavali Ae OcE COnteBla nave DeEI uin€0 up as
ernoi Franklin D. Roosevelt of yet, although the conference games
can be named, though exact date
is not known for each. However,
Brady’s first contest thus far
known is with Coleman, on Octo-
| tenant Governor Davidson for the
New York, next year for president
by the Democratic party. Accord-
ing to Mr. Newman, despite a con-
siderable rain in that section of the
state on Saturday, quite a large
crowd of Democrats from various
parts of the state attended the
meeting. An organization was
perfected, naming Governor Dav-
idson as chairman, and also nam-
ing other officers, and it is hoped
local organizations will be formed
all over the state. Mr. Newman
states every one seems to be en-
thusiastically in favor of nominat-
ing Governor Roosevelt, and a res-
olution was passed to the effect
that the question of prohibition
should not be a test of any one’s
Democracy. It was decided to get
some active workers in each sena-
torial district in the ate to com-
mence to form local associations
as soon as possible.
Dove Season Opens In
McCulloch Today
The dove season opened in Mc-
Culloch county this .morning, and
numerous hunters bagged their
limit in time to have them prepar-
ed for lunch, while others will wait
until after closing hours this after-
noon to go in search of “wild
game.”
The bag limit is 15 doves per
day, and the birds may be shot be-
tween half-hour before sun-up and
a half-hour after sundown during
the day. The season will last
through October.
Hunters are not required to have
a license while hunting within the
confines of their own county, but
for hunting outside of the county
a $2 fee must be paid for license.
Evans J. Adkins and Bob Sparks
of Melvin drove to Austin this
afternoon and where they are at-
tending to business in federal

The infected area generally ex-
tends between the Menard and

running from Streeter across to
the Menard road. There are a few
scattering infected areas outside of
this block, but the infection is al-
most solid in this area.
The use of aggressin and serum
is recommended by Dr. Rosenber-
ger, while thorough burning of
carcasses cf animals dead of an-

ease better than anything else and
help to prevent future outbreaks,
it is advised.—Mason County News.

after the Firemen had disbanded
for the season, at Richards Park
Sunday afternoon. The last ac-
count of the score was 17 to 2, in

ter that Luke Vogel turned on his
old skipper and pounded out a
triple with the bases jammed.

past two years (to our certain
knowledge), the Bearcats have
tumbled the Dogs, and this fall
looks like another big year for
the Runnels county entry, accord-
ing to Troy Simpson’s story, which
appears elsewhere in The Stand-
ard. The contest will be played at
Ballinger.
Conference Clubs
Clubs to be on the conference I
schedule include San Saba, Lam-
pasas, Richland Springs, Goldth-
waite and Lometa. The Ballinger j
and Coleman games do not count |
in conference standing, since these
two schools are in the W estern di- |
vision of District 11.
Practice Games
Two or three practice games will
be booked within the next few
days, Coach E. J. Powell has an-
nounced. Both Brownwood and
San Angelo are anxious to meet
the Bulldogs, but the Brady coach
does not deem it wise to play
Class A clubs and take chances on
being buried under a heavy defeat,
and at the same time take chances
on getting some of his men crip-
pled. Some of the clubs in the
same class with the Bulldogs, will
engage in two or three practice
tilts before the season opens.

Proposed Ball Loop
Brady may find itself in a base-
ball league next summer, provided
the boys think the idea feasible
when the season rolls around next
spring. If an item appearing in
Blondy Cross’ column in a San An-
gelo newspaper can be taken at
face value, the possibility of such
a league is being discussed now.
Here is the thought Blondy drops
to us:
♦ * *
Baseball League Next Year
The Robinson boys following
a palaver with Ray Johnson
of the Big Lake Oilers are
considering possibility of or-
ganizing a Sunday West Texas
baseball league next summer.
Such a circuit, playing games
only on the week-ends, ought
to be able to function well. It
would be a semi-professional
circuit, no baseball player sal-
aries. With Texon, Ballinger,
Brady and San Angelo as a
nucleus, the boys should be
able to organize a compact and
red hot loop.
* * *
Favored Here
Members of the Brady Firemen’s
baseball team, who enjoyed a very
successful season, favor the idea,
and believe that such a circuit
would not only prove entertaining
to the home town players, but
would draw well in each of the
cities. Right now, however, Tex-
on could trim any team mention-
ed above without so much as a
struggle. One of Texon’s star
hurlers could throw his glove on
the mound, and the contest would
be conceded him. The loop could
be composed of Brady, San An-
gelo, Ballinger, Winters, Texon,
and possibly others in this section.
The trip to Texon, however, would
be rather long for Brady to make.

There are several things wrong
with the above paragraph. In the'
first place Coach Wright was with |
the locals five years instead of
eight and the biggest mistake is
about a green team. The Bearcats'
prospects are the brightest at this
time of the season in the history
of the school and even better be-
fore training starts, than the 1929
club that went through the re-|
gional championship without L.
