Sub-Committee on !
Ball League Finds
Hidalgo Favorable
■ - 4 ■ —, - - — - I
O N Boston and Bob Wells, the
committee appointed by the base
ball meeting held In Brownsville
last Tuesday mght, by Chairman
Guy Trent, to put forth their efforts
to organize Hidalgo county towns
to join those of Camaron county, In
a Valley Class D league, spent
Thursday and Friday in the upper
Valley and reported to the chairman
that they found sentiment lor base
ball in these parts, very strong.
• We talked to Mission and Mc
Allen citizens," they stated Satur
day afternoon, ‘and found them in
tavor of a baseball league Marvin
Goodwin and Judge D F. Strickland
of Mission, heartuy endorsed the
plans of the proposed league, as
did Dr. Utzman of McAllen '*
Mr Wells believes a league will
be organized, but states "a lot of
organization work will have to be
done. We went over the plans, as
we were instructed to do, of the Ne
braska State league, with Hidalgo
county citizens They seemed to be
in favor of this kind of operation
of a league. The plan is simply a
81500 per month ralary limit for
each club; a plan whereby monthly
donations will be eliminated; a plan
that should be self-sustaining, and
in rome cases be a paying propo
sition."
The committee will start where
they left off and leave this week for
what la expected to be the turning
point—that is whether a Valley lea
gue can be organized or not. It is
known that Corpus Chriatt and
Kingsville are desirous of entering
this proposed league, but the meet
ing last Tuesday night, at which
representative citizens of Cameron
county were present, instructed the
committee, through Chairman Trent
to try to organize an all-Valley
league; and this will either be ac
complished or not this week, the
two delegates believe.
They plan to hold a conference
with Cam Hill of Edinburg in the
next few days, and will then go to
Mercedes, whero Mr. Wells believes
a lot of sentiment for the league,
which Is known to exist there, can
be crystallized into an organization.
Baseball fans point out that time
Is passing rapidly, and that If the
Valley is to enjoy the national pas
lime this summer, the league should
start functioning within the next
few days, at least. It is known that
Brownsville, 8en Benito and Har
lingen will have ball clubs, but are
not organizing until these towns
know whether or not Hidalgo coun
ty towns will also join the league.

Rice Freshman 1 Up
On Dawson in Semi
Final; To Play Carl
ton For Title
—
COUNTRY CLUB. Houston, Feb
23 —^/—Reuben Albaugh of San
Antonio, 20 year old Rice Institute
freshman, outstayed George Daw
: son of Chicago, seventh ranking
amateur in the United States, to de
feat him 1 up on the thirty-ninth
! hole of their semi-final match in
1 the Houston Country club invitation
tournament here today.
His victory placed him in the
finals tomorrow against Ossie Carl
ton of Houston, defending champion
who downed his old foe and fellow
townsman, Jack Speer, state ama
teur champion, 2 up on the 30th
hole todajll'w
It was Albaugh's third straight
victory over veteran opponents In
the first round he beat George Ro
tan of Houston, who once graced
Walker cup teams, and yesterday he
took the measure of Willie Hunt of
Houston, who has played in British
amateur championship tournaments.
Courage and skill in the pinches
were the things that saved him
against the brilliant Dawson.
Albaugh held tenaciously to a
one hole lead most of the day, and
when Dawson threatened to go one
up at the 34th after the coUegian
had clipped 18 feet over the pin
from a tap. Albaugh set ms jaw
and sank the putt.
Dawson gained a hole at the SSth
when Aloaugh was short coming out
of a gully, and apparently had the
match sewed up on the 36tli when
he placed his third on the lip of the
cup. Only a three could save Al
baugh and ills second just was on
the green 20 feet from the cup. He
sank the putt. Dawson lost a chance
to end the match at the thirty
eighth when he failed to drop a
three footer. At the next hole Daw
son was away by half an inch and
missed a seven footer. Aibeugh sank
his to win.

The Carlton-Speer match did not
br.ng out the brilliant golf Dawson
and Albaugh displayed. Carlton shot
a 18 in the morning while Speer was
taking 80 blows, but in the after
noon Carlton came in with a 71,

70.

FAYETTEVILLE Ark.. Feb. 23 —
.^—Arkansas University cinched its
fourth straight Southwest confer
ence basketball title by defeating
the Texas Aggie®, 3* to 29. in the
inal game here tonight. The Razor- J
backs finished their schedule with
11 victories and one defeat.
The Porkers had to battle all the
way to defeat the determined Farm
ers tonight. Only a rally in the
closing minute® provided them a
safe margin
Tom Pickel and Wear Schoonov
er, Arkansas aces, were handcuffed
by the Aggie guards for the first
time this season, each scoring only
three points. Pickel closed the sea
son with 156 points, practically as
suring him conference scoring hon
ors. - Schoonover finished second
with 14$
From the outset the Aggies ap
peared determined to make up for
their lethargic showing of last
night, and the champions never suc
ceeded in rolling up an impressive
margin. They were leading only
13 to 13 at the half, and at one time
in the second period their margin
was reduced to three points.
While the Aggies were busy hold
ing Pickel ana 8choonover, Lam
bert, Porker guard, slipped through
with the 11 points that gave the
Razorbacks the game and title.
The game marked the passing of
Pickel, Lambert ana Hale, three
Arkansas regulars, who graduate.
It also was the last appearance of
Francis A. Schmidt as Arkansas
coach. He has resigned to go to
Texas Christian University at Fort
Worth.

PLAN TO PUT j
MIAMI FIGHT
ON OVER AIR
Garden Said Planning
To Purchase Giants;
Battlers Hold Best
Workouts Yet
By EDWARD J. NEIL
(Associated Press Sports Writer*
MIAMI BEACH. Fla.. Feb. 23 —
OP.—Cooling breeses and an over
cast sky. the answer to a glad
iator's prayer in the southland, in
jected new life into the drills of
Jack Sharkey and Young Stribllng
today, and probably kept Doughty
Bill Carey, new guiding hand of
Madison Square Garden Corpora
tion. from giving in entirely to ths
harassing disclosures of the day.
Now that the battle of the Ever
glades is Just around the cornO£
with the fighters in perfect trisrv
the arena built and the lighting
system installed for the fraeas
Wednesday night, the even tread
was broken by unofficial announce
ment that the Oarden corporation
is arranging for purchase of the
New York Giants ball club in the
National league and disclosure of a
controversy over broadcasting of
the coming heavyweight struggle.
Carey feels however, that publicity
mav spoil the Giant deal.
While Garden officials were will
ing to say unofficially that the deal
for purchase, for $4,000,000, of 75
per cent of the stock in the bail
club, owned by Charles A. Stone
ham. Francis O. McQuade and John
McOraw, had been all but com
pleted, word that the Sharkey
Stribllng bout will be broadcast by
the National Broadcasting associa
tion will not be made known ofli*
dally until Monday. Carey an
nounced when the match first waa
made that there would be no
broadcasting.
Since then pressure has been
brought on Oarden officials from
all parts of the country to allow
the facas to be put on the air. A*
soon as the advance sale passed
$275,000. guaranteeing a prom,
Carev finally agreed tentatively to
permit the broadcast. The final
message that swayed the argument
was a letter from a crippled
veteran who wrote Carey hi was
bedridden and had bought a radio
for the sole purpoee of hearing the
description of the match over the
air. X
Cooler weather brought both bat
tlers to their workouts full of fight.
Sharkey was impressive in the two
rounds he boxed with Johnny
! Gromo. New York heavyweight,
while Stribllng gave the finest dis
play of his training period In tiro
round workouts with Paul CavaBk?,
of Paterson, N. J., and Marty
Burke, lanky red head from No#
Orleans.
