First Win
Leo Owens Is Top Scorer
for the Independents, with
Berry and Tierce Running
Close Seconds.
Paced by "Bud" Tierce, center,
who tilt the meBh for 14 points, the
Plymouth Oilers broke into the win
column in the Sinton City League
at the expense of the. erstwhile un-
defeated leaders, the Chamber of
Commerce, Tuesday night. The score
was 29-23. The defeat dropped the
Chambermen into a tie for first
place with the West Sinton five,
who last Friday night continued
their winning ways by trouncing the
Rialto Theatermen by a 22-10 count.
Tomorrow night a twin bill is
scheduled at the local gym with
, the Chamber of Commerce colliding
' with West Sinton, and the Plymouth
Oilers meeting the Rialto in the
nightcap. Anything is liable to hap-
pen in this league, and a good turn-
out of fans is expected to be on
. hand to witness the action.
Tuesday night's game was close
and hard-fought throughout. The
first quarter saw the count knotted
twice, once at 4-4, and again at 8-8,
but the Oilers managed to maintain
a 10-8 lead at the end. In the second
quarter the Chambermen overtook
the Oilers, and at one time led by
an 18-15 count, only to lose their
advantage and trail 19-18 at the
half.
The next-to-last frame was slow
with each team netting one field
goal apiece. The score 21-20.
Going into the final minute of
play with a 25-23 lead, flatter white
and Tierce, tossed in field goals to
“ice” the game for the Oilers.
Lloyd Ferell, Chamber of Com-
merce forward, paced his team with
ten points. Jack Satterwhite, Plym-
outh guard, was next best with
seven.
In last Friday's game, the Rialto
Theatermen got away to .a 3-1 lead
over the West Sinton combine in
the first quarter. In the second can-
to, however, the out-of-town quint
rallied to make it 7-3, but the Rial-
to came back again to knot the
count at eight-all at the end of the
third heat. The final quarter turned
into a rout as the West Sinton boys
began to hit the basket from all
angles to coast to an easy 22-10
victory.
Leo Owens, West Sinton center,
paced the scorers with a total of 8
points, followed by "Cotton" Berry
who tallied six. Alvin Cleveland,
Rialto forward, with four points was
high for the losers.
* In a contest played after the
.,i Plymouth - Chamber of Commerce
game Tuesday night the Refugio
I Independents took a 37-30 decision
from a team made up of Rialto and
West Sinton players.

Panthers Down
Pirates in Game
Friday Night
Locals Will Go to Taft To-
morrow Night for District
36-A Basketball Game;
Play Here Tuesday.
Beaten by the Golden Panthers of
Aransas Pass last Friday eve, the
Sinton Pirates trek to Taft tomor-
row night for a District 26-A North
Zone game with the Greyhounds.
Tuesday night the Bucs return home
for their first game in the local gym
in ten days, meeting the Beeville
Trojans in a non-conference affair.
Friday's defeat was the locals'
first in- league pliiy. They still re-
tain a mathematical chance to win
their third consecutive North Zone
championship, but in order to do so
must sweep all of their remaining
games, including one with the Pan-
thers in the felines' lair. Should the
locals accomplish this, they would
reign as undisputed champions, pro-
vided the Panthers drop another
game, otherwise a tie would ensue
between the two clubs.
Aransas Pass took the lead early
in the first quarter on Chastain’s
field goal tn last week's contest.
Brown tied it at two-all a few
minutes later, and that was as close
as the locals came to overtaking
their opponents. The count at the
end of the initial frame was 5-2.
They trailed 7-14 at the Intermis
slon.
In the third quarter the Bucs
pulled up to within three points of
their opponents, trailing 18-15; but
Palmer’s free chunk made it 19-15
going into the final heat.
Then the fireworks started. White
and Palmer dropped in a field goal
apiecji to make it 23-15, and it be-
gan to look like a rout for a minute
or so until the Pirates swung into
action. Foley flipped in a gratis toss,
as did Pate, and Foley and Gibson
contributed field goals to make it
23-21. That was all, however, as
Chastain made a field goal, followed
by free throws by Foley and Hagey
and the game ended with the Pan-
thers in the van by a 26-22 margin.
Chastain, Aransas Pass forward,
and Junior Foley, Sinton center,
tied for high point honors, each
making a total of seven.
Tuesday night the Bucs invaded
Woodsboro and took a close 22-18
decision from the home five. The
locals made but five field goals
throughout the contest but dropped
lit twelve free tosses out of seven-
teen. Othel Chafln topped the locals
with a total of seven points. Horner
led the Woodsboro five with ten
points.
The Sinton - Aransas Pass box

Kleberg Not Asking
For Appointment as
Ambassador toMexico
WASHINGTON.—Congressman
Richard M. Klebarg is not a “ean-
didate” for any appointive posi-
tion, he declared hero this week
in a statement issued with refer-
ence to the mention which has
been given hie name in recent
weeks in connection with the pos-
sible naming ef a new ambassador
to Mexico from the United 8tates.
To those of his friends who have
written to him on the subject he
has replied that he would not be a
candidate for an appointive office.
Many good friends have offered
their assistance to pne,” he said,
"and I appreciate It but I feel there
is nothing to be done In such a
matter by me. No one appreciates
more than I do the expression of
opinion that I might possess the
qualifications suitable to filling such
a high office as that of ambassador
from the United States to a neigh-
boring country but it is equally im-
possible for me to make any state-
ment pro or con on the matter un-
less I should be requested to do so
by the appointive powers. The posi-
tion I now hold is an elective one
which requires, of course, that I
offer myself to the electorate of my
district as a candidate and no one
is more deeply appreciative than I
of the great and consistent support
given me by my friends and con-
stituents in this work which has my
full interest and in which I am very
happy.
“It is my hope that it may be
distinctly understood that such a
matter is entirely in the hands of
the appointive powers and neither
by act nor by word would I solicit
or am I soliciting the appointment,
My only ambition in public life is to
be of the best possible service to
my country and I shall endeavor to
gve that service in any job I am
privileged to hold.”

Local Men Attend
Jaycee Convention
At Laredo Saturday
R. H. Biggs, president of the Sin--
ton Junior Chamber of : Commerce,
accompanied by Hoy Autry and
Jerry Brown, attended Region 1
Jaycee convention at the Hamilton
Hotel in Laredo Saturday and Sun-
day. The men represented the local
organization.
Binford Arney, state president of
the Junior Chamber 6f Commerce,
speaking on "Pan- Americanism and
National Defense," said. "We our-
selves are ready to go to work, and
many Jaycees have already volun-
teered for the cause of defense."
"We admit as President Roose-
velt declared that our present ef-
forts are not enough," he said "We
must go to work to get tile job done.
Our six and seven and eight hour
week shifts and $1,000 monthly jobs
can't compete with full days' work
anil overwork as is practiced in the
totalitarian countries.
Arney said he believed firmly that
labor, is willing to do more than its
share in the present emergency,
that labor will outlaw strikes on
defense production and offer to dev
more than the now legally limited
work week.
"We nre proud of the labor
standards of this nation, but we
have a job to do." lie said. "If any-
one delays effort or tries to take
advantage of either labor or cap-
ital we are counting on the govern-
ment to remove the delay instanter."
