That the preponderant power of the Silver Streaks "five" is a menace to every team of its class is being proven by the successes of these young men who, by-the-way, are Mexicans. Concrete evidence of this was shown in the recent games with the powerful Marte and Southern Arrows teams, both of South Chicago.
In each of these contests the Silver Streaks triumphed with a score decidedly crushing.
During the night games of December 17th and 21st. they were victorious with a score of 20 to 17 and 27 to 8 respectively. In their last encounter with the Southern Arrows they piled up a score of 24 to 8, showing that this quintet of audacious players need a wider field of action with opponents of greater skill.
2All of this shows that the Silver Streaks is in evidence as one of the units of the Chicago Boys' Club which has taken a decided part in developing physical culture among its members, and whose accomplishment as authentically proven by its activities gives the Silver Streaks a worthy place of mention.
The quintet of the mentioned team is composed of the following personnel: Teddy Mendoza, rg; Rodolfo Salmeron, If; Amador Manjarrez, rf; Ramon Mendoza, c; and Juan Garcia lg.
The substitutes comprise Luis Gonzales, Carlos Garcia, Santos Garcia and Antonio Servin.

On January 3, 1932, Baliev's Revue, "The Bat," will be presented at the Selwyn Theatre.
When "The Bat" was shown for the first time in Europe and America, it was highly acclaimed by theatrical, musical and art circles.
The modern staging of this revue imppressed upon one the richness of the scenery, the splendid acting, and the performance of various musical numbers, so that it was hardly possible to concentrate one's attention on some particular feature of the program.
The whole presentation was inspiring and breath-taking: the aesthetic pleasure one derives from "The Bat" is such, that one wishes, it may never end. When the curtain dropped after the last number, the audience was reluctant to leave the theatre.
2Nikita Baliev, the director of the company, and its distinguished "master of ceremonies,"had aroused the admiration of the audience by his witty humoristic remarks in connection with the world's current, national and political events.
We hope that the present star performances of Baliev's "Bat" will be another triumph of vocal and dramatic art, especially of Russian art.
S. Lensky
