Babe Ruth and Colonel Lindbergh
have been panned a great deal re
cently by their apparent apathy
towards crowds. Put yourself in
their position for one moment. How
would you act? Would you enter
into every gathering with all the
“huzzah” possible? We think not.
* * *
Fact is they are always good for
a story, and why the writers, those
of sportdom, and general news, have
the temerity to razz them, is some
thing to think about.
* * *
The field commonly called the
American Legion grounds, has the
natural making of one of the best
baseball diamonds in the Valley.
The dirt is soft—the very kind that
is suitable for good grounds. There
la plenty room. It is ideally located.

■ De la Fuente, the little pitcher
of the Longhorn squad of Texas
university, is going to hurl for
Bobby Cannon’s baseball team of
Del Rio this summer. Cannon
made this announcement v hile in
the city Monday.
* * *
Cannon is to report to Del Rio
Monday of next week and take over
the managerial duties of the team
for this summer. The season which
starts May 1, lasts two months.
‘‘Have pretty good bunch of young
sters,” Cannon said.
• * w
This from the Corpus Christi
Caller, “The Crow’s Nest,” of Mon
day’s issue:
“Wasn’t it a fine thing for Cor
pus Christi students to carry off
the Nueces county field meet? Of
such stuff are future Corpus Christi
citizens made, that they go out and
wrest victory from their opponents
early in life. It is a healthful sign
for the future of the city.”
* * *
Someone has to lose. San Be
nito won the all-round meet of
Cameron county this year. But
that doesn’t mean that they will
grow bigger and better citizens '
than the losers.
* * *
O. J. Pederson, captain of the Los ■
Fresnos baseball team, writes as fol- j
lows: “Will you please give me
the names of some of the managers
.of Valley ball teams?”
* • *
L. F. Bolling is manager of the j
Pentagons of San Benito: Raoul j
Padron, Brownsville Tigers: F. Mor
eno, Palmez Hatters. Brownsville: |
Edinburg has an independent team, |
and the local schools, with Coach
Plato of the high school, and Coach
George Menn of St. Joseph acad
emy, desire games.
* * *
The “Los Fresnos Spudders play
the Palmez Hatters in tills city at
3:30 p. m. next Sunday, and any
team wishing games with that club
should get in touch with O. J.
Pederson.

Since the announcement of last
week that Brownsville would be a
class A member of the Interscholas
tic league next football season, the
school has received a lot of publicity
in the sport pages of different Tex
as papers. The latest is from the
pen of Prexy Anderson, of the Abi
lene Morning News, as follows:
“Down at Brownsville the foot
ball fans are whooping it up because
their high school team, Valley Class
B champ has been admitted to the
Class A conference along with Robs
town, one of the few small towns
ever to cut much of a figure in
the race for honors in the upper
division.
* * *
“Brownsville last year beat down
all competition in it3 section, and
then defeated DePaul academy from
Chicago, 36 to 0. an accomplish
ment which likely meant less than
more. Brownsville then aspired to
take on Abilene Eagles, but Eagle
officials had already satisfied them
selves of the typo of football played
in the southern end of the state
by roundly walloping Port Arthur,
the Class A representative, and did
not care to give its backfield fur
ther track practice against the Class
B tltleholder. The border town en
thusiasts now enthuse because their
“grldders will have a chance at the
state title next season.”
• * »
** “The Brownsville officials like
those of several other Class B
► schools, are to be complimented on
their ambition. Events, however,
will probably prove that it would
have been better for Brownsville
to have stayed its age. Its team will
find the going three or four times
as rough in Class A: its publicity
man will recall that there was more
satisfaction in deploring the injus
tice of circumstances which pre
vented a crack at the Class A title
than in offering alibis for defeat.
Only four Class A teams have ever
won and only two have ever tied
for a state championship. There
may have been a hundred Class B
teams whose home folks thought the
boys as good as the Class A win
ners.”
* • *
Bat what the Abilene scribe
failed to say, or possibly doesn’t
know, is that the coach cf the
Brownsville school has lead Class
A teams in the past. He made a
success in this city his first year.
He must know something of what
he is doing by getting the local
school in Class A
* * *
Also Brownsville is a city of 30.
000 Abilene is the same in popu
lation. Unlike so many high schools
nowadays the boys are pretty big
who are attending the high and
junior schools of this city. Port
Arthur wasn’t a representative
squad of South Texas.
Jake Flowers, Brooklyn infielder,
underwent an operation for removal
of his tonsils at Clearwater, F.a.,
week. Flowers has also been
suffering from ehrontcappendicitis
and may be required to ha\e fur
ther surgical attention. It is found
nr) operation is necessary at this
time he will go to Johns Hopkins
in Baltifore for it. Flowers had in
dicated he would be a valuable man
the Robins this year, but Roboy
must not count on hnn too strongly
POW.

_
Red Sox Rookie Comes
Through In Pinch;
Adams Back
NEW YORK, April 9.—(£*)—Dazzy
Vance, star Brooklyn pitcher,
troubled with Sciatica, has been
sent here to receive treatment. The
attack is a light one, and Vance ex
pects to be in shape to start the
season.
It’s a rare New York Yankee ball
game in which eight home runs are
hit and none of them to the credit
of Babe Ruth’s big bat. That’s
what happened yesterday when the
Yank’s bowed to the Tulsa Oilers,
12 to 9. Eight circuit drives were
made, four by each club, but the
Babe got onlv a pair of singles.
The New York Giant steamroller
which has been riding roughshod
over all opposition has come to a
stop. Garland Braxton and Irving
Hadley of Washington saw to that
| yesterday at Birmingham. They
held the Giants virtually helnlcss
while the Senators pounded Karl
Hubbell for seven hits and five runs
in 7 innings and Curly Ogden for
three hits and three runs in one
frame. The final score was 8 to 3.
It was the Giants’ third defeat in
17 exhibition games.
Bob Asbjornson of Concorn.
Mass., young rookie catcher with the
Red Sox. came through when given
a chance, as Manager Bill Carri
gan’s rookies have a way of doing.
Yesterday against Reading. Vir
ginia. this young man made a good
start on the road to fame by smash
ing out a single, triple, and a home
run in four times at bat, knocking
in four runs and scoring the fifth
himself.
The much battered Boston Braves
have broken their losing streak, but
they came within an ace of not
doing so from over-confidence.
Eight runs in the first and two more
in the sixth gave them a 10 to 1
lead over the New Haven Eastern
league club at Norfolk. Va., yester
day. but they finally won the game
13 to 12.
The parade of Pirate cripples
back to the diamond, neared its end
today when Sparky Adams, short
stop. injured a week ago, returned
to the lineup. Pie Traynor. nursing
an ailing hip, will get a few more
days of rest. Adams will be lead
off man again this season. Manager
Bush announced today. The Waner
boys will follow, then will come
Grantham. Traynor, Sheelv, Bartell
and the battery.
Now they are in the market for a
shortstop, pending recovery of
Tommv Thevenow. President Baker
and Manager Shotton of the Phil
lies find prices for first class short
fielders are going up. Baker said
today he had made offers for sev
eral. but prices had suddenly sky
rocketed. A pair of rookies will try
to fill the injured Thevenow’s show’s
for the present, but Barney Friberg,
an infielder who developed into a
pitcher this year, may be assigned
to the job.
The sore pitching finger of Lefty
Grove. Athletics hurler. is back to
normal and he will be ready for
duty next week. It is doubtful,
however, if Shortstop Boley’s arm
will be in shape for the A’s opening
game against Washington.

PHILADELPHIA, April 9.—(.F>—
Jack Elder, Notre Dame's sensa
tional sprinter, will face the start

one of the feature events of the
thirty-fifth annual University of
Pennsylvania relay carnival, on
April 26 and 27
Elder, a member of Knute
Rockne’s football teams of the last
two years, holds among other
achievements a victory over Percy
Wiliams, Canada’s brilliant sprint
er and Olympic champion. Time
and again during the indoor season
Elder equalled or broke existing
records for the short sprints.
In the century on Franklin field,
he will meet two territorial rivals
in Simpson and Kriss, both of
Ohio State. Simpson is the con
ference champion in the hundred

vania relay champion in the cen
tury.
SCHOOL NINE LOOKS
GOOD IN PRACTICE
Coach Plato's high school-Junier
college baseball team is taking on
the form of a nine of some abil
ity. The coach has his club out
each afternoon on Tucker Field un
dergoing strenuous practice ses
j sions, consisting mainly of 4 and 5
inning tilts with second stringers
and ineligibles.
Truett Roberts, Charlie Baker,
Frank Sublett. Placido Gonzales
and Bob O'Bryan made a good
showing in a five inning game
Monday afternoon with a team
gathered by Red Irvine.
Bob Myer did the catching for

Hinojosa KO’s Leach;
Battle Royal Pleases
(Special To The Herald)
DONNA, April 9.—Robert Hinojosa of Brownsville knocked out Ralph
Leach, of Weslaco, in the first round of a scheduled 10-round bout
here last night, in the main event of a boxing card, opening the new
Donna arena.
Hinojosa tore into Leach, who outweighed the Brownsville boy 22
pounas, ai ina siarc. ana in a lew
seconds had his man on the floor
for the count of seven. Arising,
groggily, Leach tried to cover up,
but his jaw was a perfect target for
a straight right, and Hinojosa
cracked him on the button anct
Leach took the count.
Hinojosa appeared a much im
proved boxer over his last ring ap
pearance in Brownsville against
Leach, which went ten rounds to a
draw. The Brownsville boy brought
both fists into use. and apparently
was in perfect condition. Leach
was cumbersome and slow and ap
peared as a novice in the ring.
Their weights were announced as
Leach 202, Hinojosa 180.
Two local high school boys opened
the program, in a two round skit.
Gene Finner and Gordon Vickers
fought a drawr.
Escobar and Calles, two local
Mexican youths, also put on two
rounds of boxing.
The third bout found Kid Parker
of Fort Brown and K. O. Edwards
cf Fort Brown step four rounds.
It was a slow exhibition, at the end
of which Parker was awarded the
decision.
The most interesting affair of the
evening was a battle royal between
three negroes. Their names were
announced as “Alabama,” “Spark
Plug” and “Speedy.” Sparkey got
the decision—because he hit the
hardest. Alabam’ won consolation
because he was on the floor most
of the times looking up at the stars
—and incidentally listening to the
birdies do their stuff. Alabam’ was
a little negro, the other two were
bigger. The big boys were mixing
it—AJabam’ thought he'd get in on
the “inside"—a wild swing from
Sparky hit the crap-shooting boy
from Alabama—and down he went.
They fought five minutes—and were
enriched a few dollars apiece—as
they gathered the shekels from the
resined floor.
Paul Strong, Weslaco high school
boy and Kid Olivarez, of Donna,
140 pounds boys stepped three
rounds to a draw. Referee Conner
announced that the match between
these two boys was purely an ama
teur affair and no money was being
given either. Strong is a star ath
lete on the Weslaco team—and
didn't want to hamper his scho
lastic standing.
Bull Young and Frankie Cline,
were scheduled to go 8 rounds—but
didn’t—as Klme knocked the boy
from Fort Brown out in the second
round. Kine punished Young se
verely. landing right crosses and
straight jabs to the head at will.
They weighed around 175 pounds.
Kid Saenz, Mercedes, 135 pounds,
and Kid Zavalla, of Brovaisville, 138
pounds, battled a four round draw.
The fights last night opened the
new Donna arena—and it is one
of the best In the Valley. A large
crowd witnessed the bouts.

Spudder Squad Reduced To
24, As 23 Report To
Abilene
_
DALLAS, Texas, April 9.—(A')—
After forced idleness on account of
rain, the Shreveport Sports hoped
to resume routine drilling today.
The weather also caused the post
ponement of the firts game of a
series at Shreveport between Pitts
burgh and Detroit.
The Wichita Falls squad was re
duced today to 24 men with the de
parture for Abilene of 23 players
from which a team to represent
that city in the West Texas league
will be chosen. The Abilene aggre
gation will be managed by Carl Wil
liams. In the Spudders squad now
consists of three catchers, nine
pitchers, seven infielders and five
outfielders, leaving only a few re
ductions to be made before May 17.
Gilbert Mulleavy. young infielder
from the Toledo club of the Amer
ican Association, will play second
base for the San Antonio Indians.
He reported today, displacing Tom
Connolly, Texas league veteran, re
leased yesterday. Connolly has been
troubled with a Charley-horse, and,
while he has been hitting hard, his
fielding has left something to be de
sired. Mulleavy, who played in the
Piedmont league last summer,
comes highly recommended.
With his squad cut to 25 by the
release of six youngsters, Manager
Atz of Fort Worth prepared today
to lead a team to Waco for two
games with the Cubs. Following
this afternoon’s practice session at
Fort Worth, the Skipper will name
18 men. who will make the trip to
Waco. The other seven players will
stay at home to continue training.
They probably will be taken to
Wichita Falls for Saturday and
Sunday games with the Spudders
and seven others left behind. Vin
cent Devaney and Buzz Phillips
have been named by Atz as the
probable Fort Worth pitchers in
the first contest at Waco.
Batting and fielding practice
made up today’s training program
of the Dallas Steers. The Herd
was forced to forego training yes
terday due to wet grounds. Man
ager Stock expected to start cut
ting his squad today or tomorrow.
Bert Schemanske, pitcher, was
released to Quincy. Elwood Black
well. pitcher, to San Angelo, and
Joe Bressler, outfielder, to San An
gelo yesterday by the Beaumont
Exporters. Most of the rookies are
to be placed in Class D leagues sub
ject to recall, officials said. Rain
made Stuart Stadium unplayable
today.
