The recent Walker-Loughran
battle In Chicago has brought on
endless discussion among fight
fans. Not about the outcome but
because of the distinction Walker
would have gotten had he been
able to whip his heavier opponent.
Ben Freudenstein, Brownsville,
who knows the fight game, has
these comments to make;
“History repeats itself; a good
little man can beat a poor big man;
a good little man can not beat a
good big man. They have all tried
it; Fitz was the only one that
did it.
* * • t
“Ruby Bob held the middle, light
heavy and heavyweight champion
ship while still a legitimate mid
dleweight.
* * *
"Walker was no longer a legiti
mate welter when he beat Flow
ers for the middleweight champ
ionship and he was no longer a
legitimate middleweight when he
fought Loughran.
“Fitz held all three champion
ships when he scaled under the
middleweight limit of 180 pounds.
* + *
“Baseball, football,* basketball
rules change but prize fighting
rules never change.”
* * *
We believe if a few of the
rules of the fight game were
changed the business would be a
lot better off. For instance, the
kidney punch, rabbit punch. Just
beca use the rules have not chang
ed, is no sign that the game has
progressed. Baseball, football,
basketball and many other sports
whose rules in some respects
change at times, is one of the
reasons these sports have made
such strides over the country.

Athletic Director Red Irvine of
the local public schools is now
making preparations for the dis
trict interscholastic league meet to
be held in this city April 19 and
20. Dean S. A. Caldwell, of the
junior college, is doing likewise in
ths literary meet to be held on the
ffine days.
One of the most Interesting
contests of the county meet here
Friday and Saturday was the
playground baseball games be
tween the girls of the different
schools. Coach Margaret Val
enta's local team won the counly
title In a blaze of glory. With
ihe Cherry twins doing the bat
tery work and supported by an
airtight defense, and a punish
ing offense the locals carried off
the honors in great fashion.

Kid Guerra, of San Benito, may
not be a polshed boxer, and he
isn’t; he is a youngster, and a
comer. Weighs around 133 pounds.
And can he sock—well, ask those
boys who have fought him, and
how! The “Kid” likes to fight.
One night in a sparring match in
San Benito, the “Kid" landed one
of his rights to the mouth of his
partner and down he went. They
were wearing 16-qunce gloves.

What’s to become of Bib Falk,
recently traded to the Cleveland
Indians from the White Sox, is
being asked by Valley fans. The
best we can gather, since very
little has been heard of Bib since
joining the Indians, is that he is
slated for bench duty. The rea
son is that Cleveland is well
supplied with outfielders, such as
Jamieson, a vet, and two young
sters, Porter and Averill, who are
going great guns in the camp
of the American league entry at
New Orleans. Bib. who played
in the Valley in 1919, may yet
get the call at first base.
Bucky Harris. Detroit manager,
and one of the few big league
managers we admire, says the Chi
cago Cubs are the greatest ball club
he has ever seen on the field. In
making these remarks Harris says
he is not stating it because the
Tigers were humiliated by the Cubs
in five exhibition games recently.
The Tigers trained at Phoenix,
'Ariz.

The Philadelphia National
league club may not be up in the
race this year, and by long odds
won’t be, but they have one of
the sweetest pairs of keystoners
in the National. Thevenow and
Thompson have been doing
things for the Phils along the
double killing route that has been
missing many years. And over
at third base for this same nine
is Pinkie Whitney. San Antonio
boy, regarded by many “experts”
as a coming star. You remem
ber Whitney was shunted off by
the Cleveland Indians, who once
owned his services. In fact they
grabbed Pinkie while he was a
* high school boy In the Alamo
City. The Indians have been in
dire need of a capable third
saeker for five years. . It goes to
show that mistakes are made in
the majors as well as the smaller
circuits.

Lester.' Bell,
When Rogers Hornsby went to
the Cubs, it was thought that
Lester Bell would follow him. Bell
has always played a great game
alongside of the Rajah, and seem
ed to need his inspirational ef
fect. At St. Louis, after Hornsby
went to the Giants, Bell’s game
fell down, and last year, when
Hornsby went to the Braves, Les
ter was later brought along.
But there will be no Hornsby

SPUDDER BATS
NOT THUDDING
Schuble Day Observed; In
dian Boss On Warpath,
Hunts Talent
DALLAS, Texas, April 1.—(TP)—
Dissatisfaction with the failure of
his hitters against the good pitching
turned in by the Tulsa Oilers’ hurl
ers in the three-game series at
Wichita Falls with the Spudders has
been expressed by Manager Jim
Galloway, and orders have been is
sued to pitchers to -“bear down.”
Starting today, Manager Galloway
intends to give his whole time for
a few days in an effort to improve
the work of his batters.
Houston faced a game with the
Pittsburgh Pirates today after an
overwhelming 13-to-5 defeat by De
troit yesterday which celebrated
“Heinie Schuble” # day. Schuble
played with Houston last year, and
was presented a watch by President
Fred Ankeman of Houston.
Sports Look Good
An exhibition game with the New
York Giants made up today's train
ing period of the Shreveport Sports.
The Sports yesterday defeated Little
Rock of the Southern association,
6 to 1, making a sweep of the se
ries. Of the 10 exhibition games
Shreveport has played, they have
been victorious in eight.
A little woozy from the 23-9 past
ing Pittsburgh handed them yester
day, the San Antonio Indians were
jolted alive today by Business Man
ager Tom Connor’s announcement
that Pitcher E£rl Cash had been
released for breaking training rules
and another pitcher, whose name
was not disclosed, was fined $100
for the same reason. Further, Con
ner said he probably would leave for
the east tonight in search of an in
fielder and a pitcher.
The Fort Worth Panthers play
Texas Christian University today.
The Cats closed the fourth week
yesterday by handing Dallas a 9-to
6 lacing.
The Waco Cubs dropped their
third straight game to the New
York Giant Yannigans yesterday,
to 4. It was Andy Cohen day at
Waco, and the former Waco star,
who is now with the Giants, was
honored several ways.
Cooler weather greeted the Dallas
Steers today when they resumed
their spring training on their home
lot. Country Davis, first sacker,
whose foot was on the blink, seems
to have recovered. Manager Stock
said a few days of ideal training like
today's would get the.,Herd hustling
so fast they couldn’t slow down.
TIGERSROUT
M’ALLEN 17-5
Salinas and Ramos. Brownsville
battery, were a complete enigma to
the visiting McAllen baseball club
yesterday, and the Tigers romped
to them 17 to 5, hitting the oppos
ing pitchers to all comers of the
lot.
The Tgiers played a good game,
both defense and offense. The
visitors played a ragged game, mak
ing many miscues at critical mo
ments, and were weak with the
willow.
Billiard Stars To
Clash In New York;
Hoppe Defends Title
NEW YORK. April Stars
of the billiard world will clash
here in two big matches this week.
Willie Hoppe, a leader in every
form of billiards, starts tonight in
a 600-point three cushion match
against Allan Hall of^St. Louis. It
is Hoppe’s first apnea ranee here
since he defeated Johnny Layton,
the world's champion in January.
Since then Hall has scored two
victories over Layton. Welker
Cochrane of Hollywood and New
York, former 18.2 balkline champ
ion. meets one of his most danger
ous rivals. Felix Frange of France
in a 12-block test.
Jonnm
BROWNS LOSE AA
RIGHT HANDER
Former Milwaukee Hurler
Expected to be Winning
^ Hurler for Chicago
CHICAGO. April I.—(-P)—Claude
Jonnard, right hand pitcher and
storm center between Commis
sioner K. M. Landis and Owner
Phil Ball of the St. Louis Browns,
has landed with the Cubs.
Announcement of the acquisition
to the Cubs’ pitching staff was
made last night.
Jonnard, a pitcher who has been
very successful in the AA class but
who has never been able to hit his
stride in the majors, was declared
a free agent by Landis recently.
Ball protested strenuously.
Last season, Jonnard toiled with
Milwaukee in the American asso
ciation. Several seasons ago, he
tried out with the New York
Giants, but was sent back to the
minors.

LYONS IN FORM
CHISOX PERK UP
Wright Recover* From In
jury; Club* Start Trek
Home
BEAUMONT, Tex., April 1.—<**)—
Cub pitchers seem to have snap
ped out of their spring lethargy.
Blake and Bush shut out the Kan
sas City Blues, 3 to 0, Saturday and
the two rookie hurlers, Lauten
bacher and Horne, duplicated the
feat yesterday, the Cubs winning
4 to 0. The Detroit Tigers were
here for a series with the Cubs
today.
Ted Lyons, ace of American
league hurlers in 1927, and Hal
McKain, rookie hurler, have pro
vided some sunshine for Manager
“Lena” Blackburne, who has his
worries in whipping a winning
White Sox team together. Lyons
and McKain added to their bril
liant spring hurling records yes
terday by holding the clouting
Giants to two hits in six innings.
Thomas and Adkins relieved them
and were bumped for nine runs,
seven of them in the ninth inning,
and the Giants won, 9 to 2.
Robins Recover
The Robins may have a complete
roster able to get into action soon
if they keep on recovering from
injuries. Jim Elliott was in uni
form at West Palm Beach, Fla.,
yesterday for the first time since
he pulled a knee tendon ten days
ago and Captain Glenn Wright is
nearly ready to go back to work.
Manager John McGraw has call
ed for a new deal in his two teams
of Giants who are barnstorming
their way to New York. Eddie
Roush, Chick Fullis and Curley
Ogden join the first squad while
Veltman goes to the second team.
Jimmy Dykes, man of all work
with the Philadelphia Athletics, is
likely to see service in four in
field positions this year. Mack’s
infield makeup is not decided upon,
but his order that Dykes be tried
in all positions indicates his man
of all work will be moved about
this year to bolster up the weakest
point.
Phils in Condition
Two more games in Florida and
the Phillies will hit the home trail,
and in almost perfect condition, to
open the season Saturday in Phila
delphia’s city series with the Ath
letics. Ray Benge, right handed
pitcher who has a sore arm, is the
only casualty. He is expected to
be back to normal soon.
Although the St Louis Cardinals
ended their major league spring
training exhibition season in the
South by dumping the Washington
Senators yesterday, the American
league entry had clinched a five
game series by copping the third
game Saturday. The Senators were
the only Junior circuit representa
tive to best the St. Louisans in
rival league combat.
