1930-31 County Champions, Class A and B
'OTHER MEN'S WOMEN"
RUSHING MELODRAMA
Action is the key note of "Other
Men's Women," a Warner Bros,
drama of the singing rails and the
men who follow them at the Grand
Theatre today.
There are no standstill moments
in "Other Men's Women;" story,
interest and spectacle moving for-
ward with dramatic sweep and
power. Against a .background of
driving wheels and crashing steel
is patterned a maze of human emo-
tions.
Grant Withers> Mary Astor and
Begis Toomey are the strange tri-
umvirate of common people who
find tragedy and final peace in
the midst of the drama and ex-
citement of desperate railroading.
William Wellman directed "Other
Men's Women" with all the gusto
and enthusiasm that has marked
his earlier successes, such as
"Wings" and "Maybe It's Love."
Others in the superb cast are
James Cogney, Fred KoMer. J.
Farrell MacDonald, Joan Blondell
and Walter Long. The story is
from an original script by Maude
Fulton.

(By Joe Boren)
The Progress High School Bas-
ketball team has won high honors
by being Class A and B Champions
orf Palo Pinto County for the year
of 1930-31.
By winning the second straight
game from Gordon for Class B and
the fact that Mineral Wells High
School did not play the Progress
team for county honors, they were
awarded both Class A and Class B
championship by both the County
and District Interseholastic Exe-
cutive Committees for Palo Pinto
County.
The Progress boys have shown
great ability this year in basket-
ball, as they were by far superior

to almost every team they met, A
record that will be hard to sur-
pass in the future for the boys lost
only two games this season. A
bunch of wins very few teams can
boast of, but they beat the teams
they lost to, in return games. The
losses were made in the early part
of the season and the Progress
Boys were not in shape.
| The boys worked very serious
j minded all season so did manager
j Joe Boren and Coaches Dunning
and Musick for Joe Boren, an old
resigned player, showed some of
the new players some of the old
signals and plays which won the
Championship in 1928-29. When he
was a player, these showed up well
in running up the score in many of
the games this season.
The players are as follows: for-
wards, J. B. McEntire and Jack Bo-
ren; the guards are W, H. New-
berry and Thurman Hargett with
Ox Moore at center. Substitutes
were William Galor and "Red" Mc-
Mimat forward and Leon Glover
at guard. V
J. B. McEntire, a fast dribbling
forward, a man who keeps the fans
on the edge of their seats while he
is playing and who has a combina-
tion on hitting the loop from center
and deep field when Progress is
in need of points and who makes
them count every time when he is
in the close scoring position. And
what is called an, all-county pro-
duct Coach Perryman said when
he named the five all-county play-
ers at the tournament held at
Mineral Wells this season. "Ox"
Moore was an All-County player
also.
Jack Boren, a little fast forward,
who helps McEntire on his combin-
ation and has shown up well in
many of the games this year.
"Ox" Moore, a sturdy center,
fights for the ball all the time and
always beats his man jumping at
center.
"Dub" Newberry, a guard who
makes his opposite player won-
der who tied the ball with him and
why he can't dribble by him.
Thurman Hargett, "Dub's" mate
at guard, a little man who shows
up very well on the court as this is
his first year, and who guards his
man from head to his toes, fans
rate him a good little man.
| The substitutes have worked
| hard this season and will be back
I next year.
i Progress does not lose a man this
j year from age or graduation and
i expects some more men to show
; show up well next yeax*.

(Editor's Note—Athletic of.fi-
| ciaJ.s of the Mineral Wells High
School stated Wednesday that they
| would enter a protest against the
awarding the County Championship
to Progress School to the State
| Interscholastic League. Director
j Henderson offered several rea-
I sons why such a decision should not
be made, among them the fact that
! the two schools have not played a
| game for such championship. Prog-
| ress School claims they offered to
play Mineral Wells and they did
not meet them, hence they are en-
j titled to the honors. This claim
i is agreed to by both the County
i and District chairman of the In-
i terscholastic League, and it was on
j their decision that the school was
declared winners.)
Three in a Row?
TF7HEN the baseball season opens
** this year, the Athletics will
begin a five-month fight against
baseball averages and the breaks
of the ganie. They will be trying
to. win their third world cham-
pionship in a row, something
which hasn't been done. In the 28
years since the modern world
series has been played, no team
has won more than two world
championships consecutively.
"Of course I would like to be
the first to win three world cham-
pionships in a row," Connie Mack
told me the other day at Fort
Myers, "but baseball averages
work against it.
"A great deal of it will depend
upon the mental state of the play-
ers. They have a background of
two series to go on, but a little
carelessness can spoil a team's
chances very quickly. They have
got to hustle to win again.
Improvement on All Sides
(t6/*\THER teams have been com-
^ ing up rapidly. Washing-
ton has shown surprising strength.
The Yankees and Cleveland are
sure to be hard to beat. But I
believe the most improved team
in the'league is the White Sox.
The WJhite Sox have been making
great strides. I believe that team
will be an important factor in the
pennant race this year.
"We have been very fortunate
to win two world titles in a row.
To win a third we will have to be
blessed with uncommon breaks.
Detroit is the only American
League team ever to win three
league pennants consecutively, but
Hugliey Jennings' great team lost
all three world series to the Na-
tional League winner. Twice the
Cubs beat the Tigers and the next
year I think it was Pittsburgh
that won out in a seven-game
series.
"I will always feel that the
team with which we started the
season of 1910 should have been
unbeaten for five years. But
after we' had won the series of
1910 and .1911, Boston stepped in
and won the American League
pennant in 1912, though I still

think the A's that year were a
better team. We,,came back in
1913 and won the "series from the
Giants, but in the following year
lost four straight games in the
series with the Braves.

Chance Had Chance
U-pRANK CHANCE came very
-*• close to winning three
straight with the Cubs in 1906,
1907 and 190S. If the Sox hadn't
beaten his combination in 1906,
he might have done it. John Mc-
Graw came close to breaking the
record, too, in 1921, 1922 and j
1923. After his Giants beat the
Yankees in two straight world
series, the Yankees turned in 1923
and beat the Giantscbi six games."
All these facts Connie Mack
reeled off in a casually-conversa-
tional tone. If you should gain
the idea from his words that he
has a pretty fair memory, per-
haps you would be right.

There'll Be
Something New
Tomorrow
EVERY time you feel like muttering "There's
nothing new under the sun," take up your daily
paper and read through the advertisements.
Chances are, you'll change your mind. Here's a
new wrinkle in sanitary plumbing... there's a
new kind of carpet that should have been thought
of long ago... here's a decidedly better way of
washing delicate fabrics.
These things concern you intimately—they
affect your life and the manner in which you
live it. They are new things under the sun. And
advertisements are the arms with which they
reach out and touch you. Read the advertise-
ments regularly. There'll be something new to-
morrow ... and the day after — and the day after
that. Something you wouldn't want to miss.

"I have been taking Kruschen
Salts for nearly 3 months. I have
continued taking one teaspoonful
in warm water every morning. I
then weighed 217 pounds, was al-
ways bothered with pains in my
back and lower part of abdomen
and sides.
"Now I am glad to say I am a
well woman, feel much stronger,
years younger and my weight is
170 pounds. I do not only feel
better but I look better, so all my
friends say.
"I shall never be without Krus-
chen Salts, will never cease taking
my daily dose and more than glad
to highly recommend it for the
great good that is in it." Mrs. S.

1930." "P. S. You may think I
am exaggerating by writing such
a long letter but truly I feel so
indebted to you for putting out
such wonderful salts that I cannot
say enough."
A bottle of Kruschen Salts that
lasts 4 weeks costs but 85 cents
at Glen Johnson Drug Co. and
'drtiggists the world over. Take
orte half teaspoon in a glass of hot
water every morning before break-
fast.
Attention to diet will help—cut
out pastry and fatty meats—go
light on potatoes, butter, cream
and sugar—the Kruschen way is
the safe way to lose fat. Try one
bottle and if not joyfully satisfied
