With Shaw Monday

DICK WYMORE
%
One of Promoter Tex BecerrU's i
fighters on the box<ng card Mon
day night at Fort Brown. Wymore
is known to have a “deadly" punoh
and the battle with Shaw, which
is scheduled to go ten rounds, is
expected to be on offensive scrap
from beginning to end.
ASSIGN STRONG TO
AIR CORPS SCHOOL
Captain C. H. Strong, who has
been stationed with the Twelfth!
cavalry at Fort Brown, has been!
ordered to Brooks field, where lie j
will enter the student officers’!
training school of the air corps.
Captain and Mrs. Strong are now
at Fort Ringgold for the horse
show, and expect to go from there
to their new station at San Anto
nio. Captain Strong has been
granted leave up to March 1. at
which time he is to report for du*y
at Brocks field. Friends of Captain
i anJ Mrs. Strong at Foil Brown ex
; press regret at losing them
WEATHER CAUSES SUICIDE
BERLIN—Friedrich Markcn. a
teacher, committed suicide because
: the gloomy weather made him le
| member all his troubles.
No ballyhoo rows over a referee
has preceded the Dick Wymore-1
Battling Shaw 10-round main event!
on the fight card to be held at the
Fort Brown skating ling Monday
evening.
Dick s friends declare there s plen
ty reason
Wymore. they say, is too elated
over getting another crack at Shaw
to qUiOble over small matters. Shaw i
eked out a narrow decision over
Wymore in a previous bout that was
hotly contested from opening to
final gong. Dick wasn't entirely;
satisfied with that decision.
The lacing Shaw recently dealt:
Ken Macey. Wymore s staulemate ,
and close friend, has not improved i
Dick's frame of mind, the nng gos
sipers continue. Shaw's invasion of !
tills section ruined the La Feria
Hash’s litle of "Valley champion.” 1
In Condition
Saturday night the dapper young
brawler declared "I’m in the best
condition I've bceu smee knocking
out Juan Hernandez. Anything is I
liable to happen in a prize ring, buti
if Shaw beats me Monday night I'll
guarantee the tans will have seen
plenty of action and punches on my
part. I am anxious to wipe out that
decision he took over me at Mer
cedes.”
Shaw, a Laredo product, is an
amiable chap—until he gets into
the ring. He is one of the cleanest
fighters performing In this section!
and he avoids stalling clinches. The
smiling battler has defeated nearly j
everything set up before him in
south Texas. Last Monday he again '
demonstrated his ability for Valley i
fans by handing Ken Macey a de
feat that was just short of a knock- I
out. He is a bit amused by Wy- ;
more's reported yen to get into the !
ring with him. The Laredo youth ;
readily assented to the match when
approached.
They will crawl under the rojies
around the 125-pound mark.
Goodman vs. Soils
The semi-final, an 8-round bout
between Homer (Kid,1 Goodman of
Brownsville and Jesus Bolls of Sal- i
tillo, Mexico, should prove hardiy
less interesting than the mam event.
Goodman has always stood out head i
and shoulders above the Valley j
field around the 145-pound mark. !
He is the only pug of that weight
who has lought witn regularity here,
and he has weathered the crop.
in Solis he is taking on one of
the most popular fighters of north
ern Mexico—one who has lti straight
knockouts to his credit. Despite
his record, Solis is a modest chap
and u]>on arrival here Saturday re-!
iused to make any prediction as to!
the outcome of the fight. However,
lie pointed out tills was his first |
battle in the United States and that1
it would indeed be embarrassing !
to go back and tell his friends that j
lie was beaten here. Last Saturday
he knocked oit an opponent 12!
pounds heavier than himself in the i
second round of a bout in Saltillo. |
He is popular in northern Mexico, i
having fought in Monterrey. Vera

Martinez Unbeaten
Paul Siedels. 143 pounds cf Min
neapolis, and Johnnie Martinez, 144 !
pouuds of San Benito, are to fight j
six rounds—or less; Martinez has
yet to lose a Valley fight. Siedeis
would do well to keep his distance I
with this bounding rubber man. for I
Ma,[a£ei puts 111 hl5 telling Wows \
at infighting. Siedels comes here
from the Great Lakes region where |
he is said to have met some of the I

Kid Guerra. 130 pounds of San Be

string of victories at the expense of I

nrst appeared here and it speedily
won him the cognomen ol “the San
Benito rooster.” That laughter con
tinues but is no longer derisive, it
is now an expression of good na- I
tured approval. This change was
wrought by three straight knockouts
over such trial horses as Pat O Mal
le>-. Kid Littz and Billy Williams.
Macev may enter the ring favored
to win but it is a good bet that the
crowd will be pulling for the clean
cut youth from San Benito.

He declares that fans will get the

TUCKER SAYS
CUBS CHANCES
NOT SO GOOD
Lack of Dependable
Hurlers Said Main
Drawback; Manager
Pratt Optimistic
By JINX TUCKER
(Waco New*-Tribune and Times
H era Id Sports Editor. Written
for The Associated Press).
WACO. Texas Feb. 23.-h* —
Manager Derrill Pratt is optimistic
regarding the chances of the Waco
Cubs in the Texas league this yt ir.
But at tills season, when the cold
winds swoop down and do nothin?
toward telling what the scorchuv;
summer days will bring. Pratt is al
ways optimistic. It is going to taxe
more than his cheerful optimism,
however, to give Waco a class A
pitching staff from the talent he
has called for duty next month.
The training season is to begin here
March 11.
There is quantity in the way of
hurling talent, but unless previous
records mean nothing, the quality
is not there. Waco does not have
a pitcher who can be called a star.
Waco does not have more than one
hurler who can be referred to as
reiiible. That one is Earl Cald
well. and you have to stretch your
Imagination a bit to call him con
sistent. Still, he hurled well
enough to be given a chance with
the Phillies at the fag end of the
1928 season. Lefty Dumovitch.
fresh from Terre Haute, is expected
to be the club's leading southpaw.
He won 14 and lost 9 in the Three-I
circuit last year. Jake Freeze mav
be back with the club, but the
chances are he will remain at
Houston. Lefty Stein, last year
with San Antonio, will be with he
Cubs this year. He is an in-and
outer. but should replace Charles
Barnabe without loss of strength.
Blake, Pollan. Gallivan and Mc
Clung are the most promising of
the youngsters to be given trials.
Good Catch ing
Waco is fairly well fortified be
hind the bat, where it has been
weal: ever since it lias been in class
A baseball. It has usually had one
star catcher, but never two capable
men. For the last fwo years Earl
Wolgamot has done practically all
or the catching. He has been trad
ed to Terre Haute, and his duties
probably will be divided between
Leubbe and Jack Heath. leubbe
comes to Waco l'rom the Asheville
team of the South Atlantic league
with a great record. Waco obtain
ed the services of this star for a
couple cf rookies Escallier. who
was given a trial by Dallas last sea
son. and Govemet. a pitcher, who
vas with Corsicana. Heath finish
ed the season with the Cubs, and
Pratt is enthusiastic about this boy.
There will be a couple of rookie
catchers around, but they hardly
will have a chance to make th»
riffle.
Jimmy Battle, Ryan or Del Pratt
v ill play first, and the prospects
are not so bright there. Battle 1ms
not had enough experience at th*»
place. Ryan ha.' not had enough
experience in professional baseball.
Pra't has had too much experience,
so Waco is likely to miss the serv
ices or the brilliant Art Shires.
Tony Piet mav be the second base
man. He had a golden opportuni
ty to come through, but there are
several other infielders who must
be placed. Marty Karow will no'
report until June, to he hardlv can
be considered, but Joe Mellano and
Dutch Ussatt have signed con
tracts. The former is a third base
man the latter a shortstop. Either
can be converted into a second
baseman, but perhaps not the kind
that Waco wants. Wayne Windle.
shorstop. is expected to settle hi*
grievance with the local club own
ers and sign his contract, while Fe
lix Vigares signed contract aw*
sent iu some time Waco.
Outfield Fight
Bob Sanguinet 1* almost certain
to be one of the outfielders. He
has always been a great cla*s U
star, aud has had several Texas
league trials. He still is voung, but
is about ready. Rye. 'purchased
rrom the Piedmont league, is ex
ited 40 be Waeo’s outstanding
outfielder, while George Blacker^
by is expected back to fill the right
field berth. That leaves Waco with
Harry Brown. Paul Johnson and
Tommy Thorpe, as well as several
outfielders not so well known, to
battle for the utility outfield job.
Bro^n can be used in the
infield in an emergency, so he is
favored for the place. Johnson is
a holdout.
While Manager Pratt hones to
add box strength before the open
«ng of the season, he feels that his
team is well fortified at other po
sitions. and is ready to go
St. Joseph Wins
Three Ball Games
St. Josephs Academy baseball
team added three victories to their
credit this past week by close scores
and good games
Friday the Hounds of the Acad
emy played a picked team of the
local schools, winning 8 to 7. It
was a nip and tuck battle all the
way. the Hounds finally winning.
In the afternoon rhe first team
of the scnoc.; played the faculty
F»>r the :irst time in manv years
the faculty had to bow to the all
conquenng Hounds to the tune of
12 to 7. This was the first of a
three-game series that will be play
ed between the same teams.
Saturday the Hounds met their
weekly opponents, the Red Owl*, on
the Academy grounds. It was an
other victory for the Hounds by the
close score of 8 to 7.
Raul Salas, twlrler for the sec
ond team of the Hounds, did cred
itable work for his mates, holding
the opponents in hand throughout
the game, and was especially good
in the pinches.
The old baseball is being chunked;
around ball diamonds all over the
south these days. Spring training,
is on, you guessed it!
• • •
And right down here in the
Valley—the place we all like to
tell the whole bloomin’ world
about—and with a “chesty” pride
—baseball is in the offing—the
kind that is feasible: the kind ,
(bat will be self-sustaining: the J
kind I hat will bring returns, not
only financially but in a recreo- i
tionai way. *

Gentlemen, these be days of left
handers. What, with a sheriff's de
partment composed of a left-handed
sheriff, and two “lefty” deputies;
the foreman of The Herald. Cliff
Wright, left handed; the managing
editor. W. L. Pendergraft, doing
tilings w ith Ills left hand. < Well
you baseball fans know all about
left handed ball players, etc.)
Now. if the general manager of
The Herald. J. M. Stein, was left
handed. <he isn't)—well, wed jump
out of the window. And to make
matters "worse” the assistant dis
trlct attorney, Milton West, is left!
handed. Yes, gentlemen, these be
bad days for right handers.

Frank Bridges, crafty little
mentor of the Simmons Univcr- 1
sity Cowboys, piloted the Cow- !
. boys to a Texas conference bus
kctball champion this season.
Bridges, former coach at Baylor !
; University, won pennants at that
institution both in football and 5
baseball. Since leaving the Bears
; haven't gone anywhere In partic- j
ular. Bridges is unpopular with
some fans In Austin. (University ,
; alumni) and the main reason is
because his Baylor teams of other
years had taken the Steers for a
tumble on several occasions; and
he accomplished one task that
stands out supreme in Southwest
conference athletic competition—
his club beat Uncle Billy Disch’s
i Longhorn baseball squad for the
championship one year.

THE BENCH MANAGER
j Playing managers, they’ve tried ’em
Now. their fortunes to retrench,
Boston picks a man to guide ’em,
Used to ruling from the bench.
It’s a step most beneficial.
And the club will find it pays;
! For authority judicial,
j Ought to help in lots of ways.
Now the veteran or the rookie,
Who refuses to report:
Is net only playing hockey.
But he risks contempt ot court.
Kikl Cuyler, he could handle.
Undismayed, unridiculed;
i He'd have silenced all the scandal,
j With "objection overruled.”
And the umpires, though contrary.
Will prefer to arbitrate.
Than prepare a certiorari.
On decisions at the plate.
This should bring a chaste revision
In the umpires bawling shout;
Now they'll render each decision.
"If the court please, he is out.”
—Paul McCrea.

Is base stealing coming back into
the major leagues? That is a moot
question these days. Walter John
son. the "Big Train” who is mana
ger of the Washington Senators, is
the first "big time” pilot to unfold
himself on this subject, and declares
the Sens will go in for swiping
the stationary- cushions this season
Johnson lias a number of speed
artists on his club, such as Goslin.
Bluege, Myer. Rice, Barnes. Judge
and several others. You know there
is a difference between the speed
of a base runner and that of a
sprinter. Base running is not much
a question of speed, but how one
gets a lead on the pitcher, and the
start And by the way, bases are
stolen on the pitcher, not the catch
er, nine times out of ten.

Herbert Pyle, who twirled for
the Brownsville team of 1926. is
a promising prospect for a reg
ular berth on the New York
Giants this season. Pyle Is with
the McGrow outfit In San An

lie was purchased from Chatta
nooga of the Southern league last
season. If Pyle doesn't make the
grade ft won't be because be won’t

young man, and takes hit duties

player. He was popular with lo
cal fans and will be popular with

with a ball and bat in the big lea
ses. just as they do on the sand

They are advertising the coming
battle between Sharkey and Strib
ling as the "Battle or the Ever
glades.” But its many miles from
the fight arena, in Miami, to the
j Everglades. Many stories are pour
l ing out of the camp, and one of
i the latest is that a foul is feard. It’s
going to happen to mar the bout.
Stribhng. they say. has developed
a long sweeping left hand punch,
which starts from "Port Arthur” as
they say in baseball parlance, and
it is liable to land most anywhere
on the Boston chatterers body. But
then that’s always the case of a
long free swing, with hand or base
ball bat—liable to land anywhere,
and most times nowhere in partic
i ular.
• • •
, A new wrinkle in signing ball
players may result from the de
mands of tbe Miner boys, the
Pirate brothers. They have de
manded 925.000 of the Pittsburgh
officials for their combined serv
ices this season. It wouldn’t be
a bad idea if club owners would
or could sign up players in pairs,
fours, sixes, etc. It woul I elimi
nate a lot of time, paper and
worry. Bat then you know, ther**
is the publicity end to be thought
i of. and these holdout stories make
good reading matter; the owners
are not overlooking the value of
publicity.

C ards—playing cards, the kind
with which bridge, pinochle and
other pasteboard pasumes are In
dulged have come to be recognized
as a great diversion for various and
sundry reasons. Coach Claude
Keliam of Mission high school,
brought them into use for other
business purposes last week. The
Mission mentor takes a couple of
decks of cards wherein are con
tained Are, King, Queen, Jack,
etc., those kind of cards, and with
eleven of them each facing the
other in football formation, uses
them as a diagram for plays
and those he hopes to put into
practice on his squad this next
season.

vation. iiit uie Valley hke a bolt of
ligaimng. and oilier coaches ol this
section may taxe up this method.
For instance, Mr. Keliam decrees,
that the Ace card represents the
quarterback, Jack, Queen and otner

comes the line. Something new ev

ball students, and Coach Keliam is

Kentucky turf experts after study
ing the list of 159 colts, fillies, and
geldings nominated for the 55th

most of the outstanding money- j
winners in the two year old class of i
1928. but one name was conspicu
ously absent.
George D. Widener did not place
Jack High in nomination, although
that racer was a heavy winner last
year, and was regarded as the prin
cipal rival of High Strung, which
ran away with everything to cop
$153,390.
The Three D s stables of Fort
Worth. Texas, owned by W. T
Waggoner and Sons nominated
three year olds for the race, the
largest number of any owner. E. F.
Bradley nominated four.

Lough ran-Walker Tilt
Moved Up to Mar.
28 At Chicago
CHICAGO, Feb. 23.—The
flare up in Clucagos threatened
“boxing war" laded out tonight with
the announcement that the Tom
my Loughran-Mickey Walker light
heavyweight championship bout
opening the new $7,000,000 Chicago
stadium, had been set back from
March 13 to March 28
Decision to switch the date wai
made because the new stadium will
not be completed until March 25,
Paddy Harmon, president cf the
Chicago stadium said. The change
alleviates the strained situation be
tween Hannon and Promoter Jim
Mullen, who lias Tom Heeney. the
New Zealand heavyweight, and Otto
von Pormt of Chicago matched for
March 12.
Only one difficulty in the tlireat
ened "boxing war’* is left. That is
the claim of Promoter Mique Malloy
that he holds an option on Lougb
ran’s services in Chicago. Walker,
too, must post $25,000 with the Illi
nois State Athletic commission to
guarantee he W'ill defend his mid
dleweight crown against Ace Hud
kins at Las Vegas. Nevada, next
July, but this matter is expected to
be adjusted without much difficulty.
