DALLAS, March 23.—t.-Vi—The San Antonio Bears, having found theix
batting eyes in the two-game series with the Missouri Pacific Pioneers
at Kingsville, the scores being 8 to 2 and 16 to 2. moved on Corpus Christi
to meet a town team Monday and Tuesday before returning to their La
redo training camp. Next Saturday and Sunday they go to San Antonio
to Play Pittsburgh.
Billy Southworth, manager of th?
Et. Louis Cardinals, remarked the
other day in conversation with
.'port scribes, that the big leagues
were the only place ta play ball,
and to be in. Now, that s alright,
for Southworth to say it. since ha
is in the majors, and it is the
logical goal for every ball player.
* * *
Rut, Fill, how did you get your
start? Wasn’t it in the minors?
And haven’t you flopped around
the major circuits a great deal?
It sounds “elevating” to make
the above remark that Billy is
reported to have made, and all
that. But the fact is there are
several minor leagues in which
'U't as gaod conditions exist as in
the lvg time. Why, we have heard
players remark that they had
re ther he in som*> one of the
Class AA circuits than with cer
tain well known cellar clubs in
the big leagues.
• • •
Southworth is manager of the
Cardinals. He is one of the fine
fellows of the game. He is worth
while. if he wasn't he would not
have hustled so hard to attain his
present position. But in the mean
time diamond performers have to
ret started in somebody's league,
and just because many of them
never reach the majors is no sign
that the league in which thev are
performing is not worthwhile." and
Mr. Southworth to the contrary'.

“Ox” Tliggins, our good friend
of San Benito, is the mainstay
cf the catching department of
the Central Power and Light
company hall nine of that city.
“Ox” in Hjs first game Sunday
made a hit with players and fans
alike hv his hustle and snirit.
The power company team of the
Resaca Citv may not have a star
team but they certainly can boast
of fine fellows, and they are
hustlers, and that’s what the
fans like, and that is what's go
ing to draw customers. Good
!u"k to the Central Tower and
Light company tram.

Tne Missouri Pacific is doing a
great turn for many boys and men.
that is in an athletic way. The
Mopac baseball teams over the
country are the talk in baseball
circles. The players .are members
of the force of the M. P. They
play other teams of their own
company and many outside out
fits. It is a really great thing the
M. P. is doing, and we like to think
of it as such

Arf Shires played baseball for
Brownsville in 1926. He did well.
Going from here to the Waco
Cubs he made good. He Is now
avilh the Chicago White Sox,
captain and first baseman. Fc
gard'er-s of your opinion of Shires
as to his own self-importance, he
is regarded as one of the greatest
reok'es to break into the big
league in many years. Sam Mur
phv, a sports writer on the New
York Sun. overheard this con
versation the other day in Dal
las between Shires and a “grand
stand Manager”:
« • •
“Hey there. Waco.” said a cowboy
to the Sox first sack?*-, “when are
you coming back to Waco?”
• * *
“Take a rood look at me. broth
er,” repl’ed the big player, shifting
a cud of his favorite weed.
“lake a good look at me. T say.
because you're not going to
me after April I unless you happen
io come to the big leagues."
Shires filed ouf the next time at
the bat. and when he returned to
the bench he was met by the re
mark:
"You're not so good. I think
I'll ask for my money baev.”
-I must be slipping” snapped
back Shires. “I let them get me
out; probably will only get two hits
today, but at that it will be worth
the two bits you paid to sec me “

That sports of all kinds are
taking on an unprecedented amount
of interest in colleges and univer
sities. may be gleaned from the
following disnatch from T. C. U..
which is a fair example of ail
schools. It follows: “Records com
piled by Prof. Graham Estes, who
has fcharge of intramural athletic
work' at Texas Christian Univer
sity. show that a total of 408 bo..s
have taken part in the sport since
the opening of school. This is an
approximate percentage of 63 of
the total beys enrolled in T. C. U.
This total includes duplicates in
the sports, but records also show
that 215 individuals have partici
pated. or a total of 36 per cent.

‘The number competing In the
different sports is as follows: Soc
cer. SO: football. 100; boxing. 34:
handball, singles 35. doubles 18:
basketball. 125; tennis singles 16.
Tennis doubles will be run off be
ginning April 25.
“The singles in tennis Is the
event now under wav. according to
Estes, and will be finished before
the middle of Aoril. On April s

*Faul American association baseball
clubs opened their final week o!
training at Mineral Wells with a
| stiff workout today. The teams re
i turned Sunday night from Fort
Worth where they played a three
! game exhibition series over the
week-end. By playing a 10 inning
battle Sunday, 10 to 7, the Ameri
can association club won the ser
; ies, two games to one. The fourth
I and final contest between the pair
will be waged at Fort Worth Wed
I nesday.
Sports Hammered
The hurling staff of the Shreve
: port Sports apparently will draw
the attention of Manager Art Phe
lan for the next few days. It was
indicated the manager was dis
; turbcd ever the work by his pitch
j ers in the series with Minneapolis
I over the week-end. Three of his
j twirlers were hammered yesterday
j by the association team in 10 in
. nings. Minneapolis winning 15 to
12. The same thing happened on
1 Saturday.
Steers Trim Sox
The main squad of the Dallas
Steers were to return to Corsicana
today to join the remainder of the
club after several exhibition games
played in Dallas with the Chicago
White Sox. In their game yes
terday with Chicago the Steers in
the last three innings made the af
fair look like a track meet, winning
15 to 5.
If the Buffs get the pitching dur
ing the Texas league season they
had yesterday against Houston ama,
teurs there will be no doubt about
a successful season. The amateurs
didn’t get a bingle after the first
inning when they made two hits and
their lone run off Heliums, the for
mer Texas Aggie. After that stanza
Heliums, the veteran Leo Moon and
Rose took turns in holding them
hitless. The Buffs weren’t using
the willow any too effectively. They
connected for only eight hits which
netted four runs.
For the third time, the Waco
Cubs yesterday fell prey to the
steady batting of the Tulsa Oilers
of the Western league here. After
piling up a lead of four runs in
the second inning, the Cubs were
i unable to keep to the pace. The
final score was 9 to 5.
Intensive fielding practice was on
the schedule for the Beaumont Ex
porters this week, according to
| Manager Claud Robertson. The
i home town boys made four errors in
i a game Sunday against the Kan
I eas City Blues and lost 3 to 2.

Donie Bush Looks
After Pirates Like
Father; None Escape
PASO ROBLES, Cal., March 23.—
Pi—Busy little Donie Bush has
earned himself the title of the "per
sonal service” manager of baseball.
The pint sized pilot of the Pitts
I burgh Pirates is in touch with every
| member of this squad and, as one
cf the observers at the spring train
ing camp here says, ”he covers forty
acres of ground every day while
whipping the boys into condition.”
Every player on the team, from
tried veteran to the most insignifi
cant rookie, comes within range of
his eye. He finds time for each
one, whether it be a little chat with
an old timer or a tip to a young
ster on how to toe up to the plate.
The Pirate leader is a strict dis
ciplinarian and follows somewhat
along the lines of “baseball for
baseball players.”
His system is regarded as stern
but every player on the team
swears by Donie.
REIGH COUNT AND
TRAINER POPULAR
NEW MARKET. Eng., March 23.—
Pi—Reigh Count and his trainer.
Bert Mitchell, have endeared them
selves to the people of this head
quarters of horse racing in England.
The former is beloved because
of his prowess and the latter on ac
count of his personality.
, Mitchell said everyone had been
! most kind and considerate since his
i arrival at the establishment where
! Reigh Count has his quartos.
! "The people here cannoi do too
much for us.” he said “and I think

Big Crowd Expected for
Card 7 onightal Ft. Brown
One of the biggest crowds that}
has ever turned out for a fight pro
gram at the Fort Brown skating
rink is expected to be on hand to
night for what is believed will be
the best card Promoter Tex Becerril
has ever put on.
Headlining this card will be Kid
Pancho of San Antonio, and Kid
Juarez of Monterrey. Mexico, 122
pound leather slingers. Pancho
needs no introduction to local and
Valley fans, and Juarez is well
known in the southern republic as
a boy with a punch.
Kid Guerra, the “crowing rooster”
of San Benito, is having a hard
time getting matches. The “Roost
er” has knocked so many opponents
to dreamland that it now seems he
has become a much feared battler.
Kid Ruiz, of Mexico City, has run
out on the fight, and Eddie Polo
of San Antonio has been substitut
ed. Polo is known as a tough hom
bre, and gives his best. Ruiz is a
veteran and Guerra was anxious to
get a crack at the highly touted
Mexico City boy. The San Benito
product woul dlike to get a couple
product would like to get a couple
see it that way.
Polo and Guerra are scheduled to
step 8 rounds, and Ken Macey and
Jesse Sada are also scheduled for
an 8 round go in the prelims.
Kid Lupe, 118 pounds of boxing
ability, will take on an unkonwn
opponent, at present. Tex hadn't
made known the Kid's opponent up
until this afternoon.
Juarez and Pancho are in good
shape, according to the faithful
fans who have watched the pair in
workouts last week. Pancho has
been in the city for the past five
days, and has undergone the polish- J
ing up proces nightly at Fort!
Brown. Juarez arrived in Browns
ville Monday and looks fit, declaring1
himself ready to give his best. He
does not underrate Pancho and
Pancho does net underrate the Mon
terrey boy.
It ought to be a great scrap, not
only this but the prelims look good.
The card is to start at 8:30.
Sound the gong.
German-Italian Win
6-Day Bicycle Race
Pedal 2,290 Miles
CHICAGO, March 25.—(JP)—The
youthful Franz Duelberg of Ger
many and the speedy Franco
Georgetti of Italy have another six
day bike race victory to their credit,
the second for each this season.
Fighting off the persistent chal
lenge of the French “Red Devils,”
Alfred Letoumer and Paul Bro
cardo. the Duelberg-Georgetti com
bination pedalled 2.202 miles and
nine laps and scored 507 points to
win the grind that ended Saturday
night. The French team had th*
same mileage, but had only 393
points.
Duelberg paired with Otto Fetri to
win a six day grind in Berlin in
January. Georgetti and Gerald De
baets won the recent New York
race.
LOWER CALIFORNIA
HUNTER’S PARADISE
LOS ANGELES. March 23.—fJPt—
A veritable game hunter's paradise
exists in Lower California, Mexico.
Los Angeles sportsmen say. Duck!
brant, quail, snipe, rabbits and deer
abound.
There is one big drawback. To
hunt there requires advance prepa
rations akin to a jungle expedition.
First, a permit must be obtained
from the state department in
Washington to carry guns and am
munition into Mexico. Duty is col
lected by the Mexican customs, av
eraging on a shotgun from $7.50 to
SI5. and on shotgun shells about 60
cents a box. The Mexican govern
ment collects $13.50 more for a
license. And. if a rifle is carried, a
special permit must be obtained
from the Mexican secretary of war.
It takes gasoline for the car. and
the farther you go the higher the
price until at San Ignacio, about
60 miles south of the American
line, it costs 70 cents a gallon.

LOSES IF HE WINS

BY ARRANGEMENT
CHICAGO, March 23.—(JP)—
Under Promoter Paddy Harmon's
intricate financial play, Mickey
Walker wins if he loses and loses
if he wins in his bout with Tom
my Loughran for the light heavy
weight championship Thursday
night.
This is the arrangement:
Loughran is to receive 55 per
cent of the gross profits. The
gate is expected to be worth $300.
000. Out of his purse, Loughran
must pay Walker $50,000 if he,
Loughran wins. If Walker wins,
Loughran must pay his challen
ger $10,000.
Thus, Walker loses approximate
ly $40,000 by winning and wins
that much by losing.
Jack Kearns, Walker's mana
ger, explains the arrangement by
saying the light heavyweight title
is easily worth several hundred
thousand dollars and that Mickey
will be in there to win in a hur
ry.

Corsicana And Mexia Drop
Out of Class D Loop;
Five Towns Entered
DALLAS, March 25.—(rP)—Since
Corsicana and Mexia have with
drawn from the circuit, officials of
the Lone Star league today faced
the necessity of lining up another
city in the league race is to start
April 24 as scheduled.
President T. H. Fisher, Paris, and
other league officials, met here yes
terday to complete plans for a six
club race, only to find that Corsi
cana was not represented. A let
ter from that city said business
men who formerly had supported
the team had decided they had
enough.
Five cities, Sherman, Paris, Tex
arkana, Tyler and Palestine, have
posted their $1,200 guarantee and
are ready to go. Sherman took the
franchise abandoned by Mexia.
League magnates voted to make
a strenuous effort to obtain an
other city to round out the circuit.
It even was suggested that if an
other city was not willing to sup
port a team the league itself
would put another club in the field.

f as me xansee irammg season
draws closer to its close, It becomes
more and more apparent that the
customers who patronize the Rup
pert Rifles next summer may gaze
upon a $150,000 ball player sitting
upon the bench. Miller Huggins
has all but decided to employ Leo
Durocher as his regular shortstop
this season, leaving the expensive
Lyn Lary on the bench.
Eddie Collins, captain of the Ath
letics. said today he didn’t expect'lo
see much active service as a player*
this season. He is entering upon his
24th year in the American league.
"The legs have slowed up and I’m
not as spry as I used to be.” he
added.
George Susce, rookie catcher from
Pittsburgh, is given credit by hla
teammates for instilling a lot of life
and action into the sometimes lowly
Phillies. When he is in the game
the entire action is speeded up. “He
can’t keep that pep,” said Fred
Hunter, the coach, shaking his head.
"It's too good to be true. They’ll
take it. out of him. But I’m going to
tell him he can't make this club
unless he does keep It.”

Errorless fielding, coupled with
airtight hurling gave the St. Louis
Browns another exhibition game
vesterday at West Palm Beach, their
fifth out of six starts. Cobb, recruit
pitcher from Wichita Falls, did not i
permit a Buffalo International to
reach first base in the four fraces
he hurled.

ous faced lot today, back on the
home training ground trying to
knock off the rough edges. The
