§■ Out at the Junior college there is
IK. young man who. in our opinion.
I^bould make a good coach, that is.
■he will, after he finishes school. Bob
^■dyer is the young man in question.
■ He is a favorite among the young -
^Bters. He knows athletics, espe
^Btially football and baseball. Seems
JXo possess the art of knowing how
impart technique to youngsters,
IHind commands their respect. The
|Stocal schools won’t have to cast
|Hlboul elsewhere when looking for
■i coach for the youngsters. Think
■it over.

B In the Southern league there is
BJI an umpire of ability. We hope
III Pres. John D. Martin of that loop
jgl sees this. His name is Johnson
jgi —they call him "Steamboat.” His
voice . sounds like the whistle of
■ a Mississippi river barge and, we
8 believe, that is why they call him
■ that. At the beginning of the
8 1927 season “Steamboat” officia
8 ed at the opening game in New
■ Orleans.
* * *
■ Just before the game started
■“Steamboat” walked over to the
■ New Orleans bench and addressed
■ Larry Gilbert, manager, in this
■ manner: “Lary-ry, you have a num
■ ber of young men on your club; new
■in the league. Remember to tell
■ them about Steamboat. He is the
■ same this as in other seasons.”
■ Johnson took no back talk from the
■ players, and especially if they were
■ new-comers to his league.
• • •
■ Bobby Cannon may have been a
■ bit disappointed in not getting
■ the coaching job at Harlingen,
■ but he landed one as manager of
■ the Del Rio Cowboys baseball
■ team. Bobby coached the Del Rio
iff high school football team in 1925.
S * * *
■ We hope the Beaumont Exporters
H make a good showing in the Texas
■ league this year. They are deserv
■ ing of it. Manager Claude Robert
■ fcon is regarded as one of the best
■ catchers in the loop, and he is a
B capable manager. He has some good
I material this year. It is up to Ex
H porter fans to back the club—and
I they will.

K Remember Wray Query, who
I caught tor Houston in 1917? He
H managed the pennant winning
I Vicksburg, Miss., team of the Cot
I ton States league last year. Vix
I burg fans are looking forward to
I another successful season. Danny
B Lynch, who performed for Har
■ lingen in 1926 is trying out with
| the “Bills.”
■ • • •
I Joel Hunt may never be a big
■ league ball player—but he has the
I right slant on the business. He
I didn’t make the team as a regular
I at Houston. He asked to be sent
I where he could play every day.
I They sent him to Danville of the
1 Three-Eve league. Give Hunt credit.
I Bob Myer was pitching for
1 Plato’s baseball team Friday
Ej against Coach Menn’s St. Joseph
E academy nine. A tall fly was hit
E and the third baseman attempted
I to catch it. The ball landed in
E the palm of his glove. It bounc

One of the most successful
county interscholastic league meets
ever held, was the one of March
29 and 30. in this city. Director
S. A. Caldwell of the literary and
Red Irvine of the track and field
meets, handled the situation in a
commendable manner. It is no
little task handling these meets.
Hundreds of children, gathered
from all the schools of Cameron
county, en-masse, placed in their
respective events, and on the hour
—well, it was run off in big league
style.

San Benito won the county meet
at large, with 134 1-2 points, and
the other schools finished as fol
lows: Harlingen 57. La Feria 17.
Rio Hondo 117 1-2. Stuart Place 97

After watching the ball players
under the mentorship of Coach
Plato of the high school-Junior col
lege perform against the St. Jos
eph’s team Friday afternoon, one
naturallv draws the conclusion that
there is in the making a pretty good
club. There isn’t any natural abil
ity to speak of on the club, but the
excellent bunch of boys make it
seem that they can win many
games. . , .
Frank Sublet!, of San Benito,
looks like one of the best perform
ers. He plays the outfield. Is
left-handed, well built for a dia
mond performer, and takes a
healthy cut at the ball.

It may be a far cry from the hue and din of the city—the pomp and
gaiety of the crowds—the cheers and razzes—but it is a pleasant situa

back, But Plato’s Nine
Too Strong
Coach Raymond Plato’s high

looked pretty good in its win over
the St. Joseph academy team on the
American Legion park Friday aft
ernoon. The public school club won,
10 to 5.
Plato's team had the boys of.
Coach Menn 10 to 0 in the fifth in
ning, outplaying them both defen
sively and offensively up to that
stanza. Plato sent in a number of
subs, and the academy boys got
all ’*het up” and in two innings
made five scores, in a great come
back. The game went 7 innings by
agreement.
Featured by the hurling of Aure
lio Rodriguez and the hitting of
Truett Roberts, Barnhart, O’Bryan.
Myer and the defensive play of
Placido Gonzales, Baker and others,
the public school boys started in
the first inning and Roberts slam
med out a long homer for the first
counter. The ball sailed over the
centerfielder's head. After that,
and until the fifth inning, St Jo
seph w?as almost helpless in pre
venting their opponents from cross
ing the platter.
Coach Menn’s boys kept plugging
away, however, and as the game
wore on, got better and coupled
with many misplays of the high
school, crossed the rubber five
times.
The tw’o teams will probably play
again this week.

•Place. He became its landlord two
weeks ago, and it came about after
several visits to this section in the
past few months.
“Looks fine,” the football coach
of twenty-five years experience, re
marked as he wiped the sweat
from his brow.
He stopped long enough from his
duties as a “working” farmer, to
chat a while with Ben Epstein of
Harlingen, Red Irvine, athletic di
rector of the Brownsville schools,
and the writer.
“Do you think the lure of the
game will draw you back?” the Rice
institute coach of 1927 and 1928 was
asked.
“I don’t think so,” he replied. “But
it’s going to be a little hard to get
away from the game. Maybe after
a year on this farm (and he moved
his arms and body in jovial gesture
—he is a big man—in the direction
of the orchard) I will have no
thought other than being a success
ful farmer in this section.”
Rothgeb was line coach at Texas
A. & M. for three years, 1922 to 1925,
inclusive, and he remarked proudly
that those years were among the
most pleasant he had ever spent.
“I liked it at Rice institute, too,
but not like A. & M.,” he said.
The new Valley resident is a grad
uate of Illinois university. He
coached at Colorado college, Colo
rado Springs, Colo., for 10 years. He
was a successful mentor there. A
Rocky Mountain conference title
crowned his efforts one season.
Rothgeb is nearing the half cen
tury mark in age. He is large—has
sparkling brown eyes. An athletic
gesture in every move. He played
football in the days of Walter Eck
ersall—those times of the flying
wedge—give and take, was the
motton, if one cou’d.
“Get in there and bear down.”
were the last words coaches bel
lowed forth in those day to their
charges—and in such an atmosphere
Rothgeb learned his football. But
he porgressed as time went on. He
knows the modern game as well.
What about the Rice Owls? he
was asked.
“Say, you know that’s a fine
school, and they should have better
athletic teams.” he opined. Inter
nal dissatisfaction among the ath
letic council worked a hardship
while Rothgeb was there, he re
marked.
“Jack Meagher is a fine boy,”
he said of the new Owl coach.
"They have too many coaches for
the 600 boys in the school,” Roth
geb expressed as his opinion.
“I am glad to be in the Valley.
My good friend Arthur Potts, who
was a teacher at A. & M. w'hen I
was there, was instrumental in my
coming down here,” he said. Mr.
Potts is a veteran Valley nursery
man, and plans building a home
near the Rothgeb residence.
Mr. Rothgeb coached J. E. ‘Dutch”
Rekterik, the new Harlingen high
school coach, at A. & M.
“He ought to make Harlingen a
good man,” Rekterik’s former teach
er stated. “I know there is a lot
of football enthusiasm in the Val
ley, and I have heard all about the
teams down here, and especially the
Brownsville club.”
In speaking of the game between
the Eagles and DePaul of Chicago,
Rothgeb remarked that the Windy
City squad worked out on Rice field
prior to their coming to Browns
ville.
“Two of the boys on the DePaul
team were members of freshmen
teams at Northwestern and Illinois,
and I was surprised to see them on
the prep school, as they were con
sidered candidates for the varsity
squads of those schools,” he said.
The boys in question were McWil
liams and Huppert, two husky De
Paul backfield players. They were
pointed out by Coach Schultz, of
the Rice freshman squad who had
seen them in Chicago.
“I don’t know whether I will of
ficiate in games down here. You
know I am not as young as I once
was.” he said in reply to a question
of Red Irvine, who hoped Rothgeb
would consent to referee some of the
games this fall.
Mr. Rothgeb is an affable fellow.
Easily met. And has the knack
of making friends and acquaintances
rapidly. “I wish we had more of
the kind of Rothgeb in the Valley,”
Mr. Epstein told the writer.

FROGGOLFERS
TO PLAY PONIES
(Special to The Herald.)
FORT WORTH, April 6.—With
their first match of the year card
ed for April 22, the Texas Christian
university golf team is working stre
nuously each afternoon in prepara
tion for the drive for the south
western championship. The Frogs
will have a strong team and expect
to give the other members of the
loop a fight for honors on the links.
The firts match will be with the
S. M. U. Mustangs and will be/
played in Dallas. On April 27, the
Purple team will journey to Aus
tin where they will engage the Long
horns in a match. A return match
with the Mustangs will be played
early in May here. On May 15, 16,
and 17 the southwestern conference
meet will be held at the Rivercrest
Country club course in Fort Worth.
Twosomes to determine the rank
ing on the Frog team have resulted
in the following numberation: No.
1, Capt. Victor Roberson; No. 2, Mil
ton Simons; No. 3, Bill Rogers and
No. 4., Bailey Walsh. Bud Norman,
another star, is ranked as auxiliary
No. 5. Norman is captain of the
track squad and has been prevented
from active golf wark because of
his duties on the cinders. He will
however, be ranked with the team
and continue to be a member in
the rank play. He is a veteran,
having been No. 1 on the squad last
year.
The Frogs have done little in golf ■
since 1927 when Jimmy Wilson cop
ped the individual conference hon
ors by defeating the best in the
southwest. This year with Robert
son and Simons in good form, the
Purple fans are expecting the re
turn of the championship to Fort
Worth.
The Rice Owls and the Texas
Longhorns again appear to be the
best bets and in all probability will
have to fight it out among them
selves. However, the Frogs, Mus
tangs and Bears have been groom
ing their players during the winter
and the other schools may find
stiffer opposition that at present ap
pears likely.
EL JARDIN DEFEATS
WILSON TRACT 23-4
Coach Diltz’s Comets of El Jar
din high school defeated the Wilson
Tract team in the first game of
the Class B baseball league, Fri
day afternoon, 23 to 4.
The Comets completely outplay
ed the Wilson Tract nine, and the
coach was pleased with the man
ner in which his club performed.
Lloyd Waner joined the Pirates in
San Francisco last week, affixing
his signature to a contract when he
arrived. It is said his contract calls
for something like $10,000.
Leach-Hinojosa in Ten
Round Battle at Donna
(Special to The Herald)
DONNA, April 6.—Ralph Leach of
Weslaco, and Robert Hinojosa of
Brownsville, heavyweights, wound
up their training Saturday night,
and Monday will step into the ring
here, for what fans expect one of
the best grudge fights ever wit
nessed in this part of the Valley.
Promoter Jack Paine has lined up
some good prelims .among them be
ing an eight-round go between
• Bull” Young of Fort Brown, and
Frankie Kline, of Weslaco. Kline
made a hit with fans at Mercedes
r. ■ ..
i last Monday night, when he knock
ed Sailor Brooks to sleep in the
first round. The boys tip the beams
around the 180-pound mark.
Kid Saenz, of Mercedes, is sched
uled to meet Young Zavalla of
Brownsville in a six-round battle.
One of the features of the pre
lims will be a battle royal between
five burly negroes. The promoter
believes this curtain raiser will put
the fans on edge for the program.
The card gets under way at 8 p.
m. and preparations have been made
to take care of a large crowd.

Smith Got That Way
By Tireless Perseverance
I
Horton Smith, outstanding fig
ure of winter golf, demonstrates
the finish of the swing which
netted him six titles in the past
five months.
By GLENN ALLAN
( Asociated Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK. April 5.—(JPy—Hor
ten Smith, the boy Hercules cf golf,
has been marveled over alarmingly
since he cleansed the Augean stables
of winter tournaments with a tor
rent of pars and birdies.
But nobody has attempted to tell
how he did all this.
The idea seems current that the
Tall Pine of Joplin went to sleep
one night unknown to all but the
hotel clerk. The conception is that
young Smith woke up next morning
to find his breakfast grapefruit
sending up applauding streams; to
find the hall packed with silver
and cash; his name on every tongue.
It cannot be done that quickly.
It was not. in Horton Smith’s case,
done that quickly by four years.
In 1925 a broad-beamed, gangling
lad—our hero—was enrolled at
Springfield, Mo., Teachers’ college.
He liked golf, played good golf and
wanted to play more golf. So he
deserted pedagogy, preferring to
teach young ideas to shoot than to
tec.ch young shoots to idea.
Nothing very important came his
way. He qualified for the national 1
open in 1927 but his career stopped
with that. Beating the bushes of
the winter circuit, he finished in a^.
tie for second place at San Diego.
He tried again in 1928 and still was
far short of fame or fortune.
All this time the Tall Pine of
Joplin was plaving good golf. All
this time the Tall Pine was keep
ing his ears open and his eyes open.
He watched the good ones and prac
tised their shots. For three years
of winter play Horton Smith chal
lenged the sun in his early rising.
He out-raced the caddies to the
course and these early hours were
spent in trying out shots picked up
from other golfers.
Even now. winner of more money
and more tournaments than ever a
erolfer picked up in a winter course,
the amiable, auiet chan is not satis
fied. He says his game lacks a great
deal. There are. he says, at least
six shots he must learn before he
can hope to be a “good golfer.”
Horton Smith’s head is not turned
by his cuccess. He is not unaware
of what he has done but is not
cocky in victory. What he won he
earned and what he earned came
from ■what he had learned by stead
fast effort. Nowr. on the eve of his
departure for England with the
Rvder Cup team, he expresses him
self as eager to learn more. He
thinks the trip will be an education.
And with the money he wen—
more than $20.000—he intends to
buv stock in his club at Jonlin and
sink the rest in bonds. There will
be more to eo with it soon, for on
his return. Horton Smith is to pair
up with Walter Hagen in a series of
exhibition matches.
