MAY DETHRONE BABE RUTH
THILLTES WIN. CHUCK KuEIN lilTS HOMER—such a head
line these days is not rare. The great improvement in the Phillies’
play, surprising as it is, is overshadowed by the remarkable clouting
of a bushv-browed youngster with a German name.
When Charles Klein’s name first appeared in the Philly lineup
as an outfielder none guessed that here was a real pretender to the
throne of King Babe I, mighty monarch of the Land of Maul.
But with the season wall past its quarter mark and the youthful
Mr. Klein possessing a handsome number of homers, he has a good
chance to come within striking distance of Babe's record.
At times this season Klein ha3 led the whole pack of clouters.
shown his heels to Be.be Ruth, Lou Gehrig. Mel Ott and other first
rate smackers.
Klein has a great advantage in the fact that Baker Bowl, the Phil
lies’ home park, has a short right field fence. However, he has hit
homers in other National league parks as well, so the size cf the bowl
has little to do with his record. He's a real homo run hitter, that's all.
Who is this Klein? He was purchased by the Philadelphia Na
tionals in the middle of last season from the Fort Wayne, Ind., Ccn
L'-al league club for a catcher and a cash consideration said to have
been S7.500. Fort Wayne, would probably have to offer a whole ball
team and $75,000 to get him back now.

Would Limit Valley
Hunters to One Buck
A bill which would limit Valley
sportsmen to one eight-point or
better buck a year and shorten the
season from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15, was
introduced in the legislature Satur
day by Senator Archie Parr of
| Benavides.
Under the present regulations the
season runs from Nov. 15 to Dec. 31,
and two bucks, with no regulation
as to points., The measure, as ln
| troduced by Senator Parr, would
apply to 16 counties from Corpus
Christ! around the border to La
redo.
Local sportsmen interviewed late
Saturday were opposed to the mea
sure. They stated that deer in the
warm climate of the Valley began
j ••running” later than deer in otnei
portions of the state. They were
inclined to ridicule the ‘‘eight
point” phase of the proposed law.
Under the present law quite a
j few doe are killed, accidentally
and otherwise, sportsmen stale
This is because the bucks are not
"running” here in the early part
of the season as now prescribed.
The bucks begin “running" best
here near Christmas, it is said. A
season of from Dec. 15 to Jan. 15
would result in more bucks and
fewer doe being killed in the Vat - j
1 ley. the sportsmen stated.
Kid Monterrey to
Fight Cruz Monday
At Rio Rico Club
• Special to The Herald*
MERCEDES. June 15 —Substitution of Kid Monterrey of the Valley
for Kid Azavarhe to fight Johnny Cruz of San Antonio in the 10-round
main event on the fight car to be held at Rio Rico. six miles south of
Mercedes in Mexico. Monday night and the announcement that the bouts
will be under the direction of Promoter A1 Robinson, are the high lights
in me Doxing situation in the val
ley this week-end. !
Monterrey, because of his willing
ingness to tear in and mix with any
and every fighter he has met in
Valley rings, and the good record
he has made int his section, is a
favorite with Valley fans. Although
he lost a decision to Cruz in Fort
Brown several weeks ago those who
saw the fight will long remember it
j as one of the hardest and fastest
| bouts seen in this section, and since
j that time Monterrey has been long
! ing for another shot at Cruz.
Although Robinson is at present
[ out of the Valley he has kept in
close touch with the situation here
and has decided to promote fights
I across the border.
Bovs Proven
The rest of Monday night's card
looks like It should be one of the
best held in the Valley for It brings
together four of the Valley's best
boys who have proven time after
time that they are willing to fight
j and that they can fight.
In the semi-final Cowboy Brooks,
’etc of South Dakota, who has been
Knocking them over in Valley
rings, will mix with Patsy Peck, the
Mission bov. who also has a long
string of victories to his credit. This
j boot will undoubtedly decide the
j middleweight championship of this
section of the state. Both boys are
j noted for their willingness to give
end take and because they are fight
ing to see who has the opportunity
' to hit a main event in the near fu
ture the bout should be for blood,
i Kid Guerra, the San Benito roost
! cr. who scored a technical victory
ever Kid Monterrey in a Mercedes
ring several weeks ago. when the
! referee ruled that he had bee.',
fouled, although getting the worst
of the going for the majority of the
rounds, will again apnear when he
meets the sad eyed Jesse Sada of
Monterrey. Jesse had a shot at
Guerra in Donna some time ago
and the two boys fought to a draw.
Since that time both have been
anxious to get in the squared circle
with the other to settle the ques
tion of who is best.
Tickets for the bouts, which will
be held at the Rio Rico Kennel club

built, will Include bridge toll both

The Crown Prince of the
Kingdom of Swat may succeed
to the throne this year. Colum
bia Lou Gehrig, to date content
to play second fiddle in the
home run orchestra conducted
by Maestro Bambino Ruth, has
a good chance to replace the
slugging king this season.
Babe has been hitting homers
this year, but not in the manner
displayed by Gehrig. At this
writing Lou has smacked out
more homers than Ruth had at
the same time when he was
building up his record string of
60 four-ply smacks in 1927.
It’s always been the opinion that
when Ruth got a bit older the
younger Gehrig would crash
ahead of the old master and
prove his worth.
