Saturday giving him 5 votes to 118
for FWpson.
VOTE 280 SHORT
The total' DeWltt county vote
was about 200 short of that cast in
the first primary. This was due
to the fact that there were no
county run-offs except in the com-
missioners races in Precincts 3 and
4. The total vote of July 23rd was
approximately 4,300. A check-up
of the Governor’s race in Satur-
day’s run-off primary showed a
total of 4..098.
The returns given in the above
article represent the unofficial
newspaper count but are believed
to be accurate.' They were com-
piled from reports sent in to
County Clerk J. P. Bridges and
gathered by The Record over the
long distance telephone Saturday
night and Monday morning. They
are the same returns as furnished
the Texas Election Bureau at
Dallas.

HEART ATTACK
PROVES FATAL
Mrs. Emma Dinter Dies
„ Suddenly at Midnight
Sunday.
Death came with little warning
shortly after midnight Sunday to
. close the eyes of Mrs. Emma
Dinter, Cuero’s first war mother
and member of a pioneer Cuero
family. A heart attack shortly
before 12 o’clock led to the death
of this well known woman, which
occurred at 12:20 a. m. Monday,
the end coining before medical aid
could reach her.
Mrs. Dinter was first among
Cuero mothers to lo6e a son in

went down in mid-Atlantic when
struck by a torpedo. It was for

VALIGURA POUNDED
Base Knock Attack in The
Seventh Frame Win*
For Cuero Nine.
Eli Garza’s three base wallop that
found two men on the bags in the
7th frame of Sunday afternoon’s
encounter between the Cuero Trot-
ters and the H&lleittsville Brahmas
proved the straw that broke the
Brahmas back, the Trotter herler’s,
hit scoring what proved to be the
deciding runs, and Cuero won 7
to 4.
Six runs were scored by the Cuero
nine ofT Valigura in the 7th frame
to sew up the ball game. The Trot-
ters had trailed for six frames be-
hind an early lead taken by the
visitors.
Eli Garza proved too much for the
Brahmas as the Trotters won'the
uphill decision by a score of 7 to
4. The Trotter ace whiffed 9 bat-
i ters and batted in what proved to
-be the- w railing ,hbi with a long
triple to center field in the seventh
inning.
The Brahmas scored their first
run in the Initial inning and chalk-
ed up two mere tallies In their half
of the third. They were held hitless
until the eighth when they scored
another run.
Cuero batters were retired In
order until the fifth Inning when
the Trotters got to Valigura for two
hitis and a tally. In the seventh in-
ning the Trotters pounded Valigura
far six runs and seven hits, which
included a triple by Garza with 2
men on bases. A peculiar feature of
the game was that all the runs scor-
ed during the contest were earned.
Randow and Sobotik led. the
Brahma attack, each getting a
single and double. Randow
was an important cog In the A. A
M. Freshman team at College Sta-
tion this spring, batting well over
the 300 mark while there.
