Agreement To End
Reds Game May be
Nemesis For Cubs
(By The Associated Press)
If the Pirates nose out the Cubs
by a margin of one thin game at
the end of the National League pen
nant race the Fourth of July will
go down in Chicago baseball annals
as a sort of black Thursday. With
the Bruins entered into an agree
ment with the Cineinanti Reds to
halt the morning game at 12:30 p.
m. the Reds won, of course, and
the Cubs dropped out of first place
as the Pirates swept two more de
cisions from the crumpling Cardi
nals.
The Yankees have an unhappy
memory of a single game similarly
curtailed at the height of the 1924
campaign to enable the .champions
to keep an exhibition engagement
at Indianapolis. The Tigers took
that decision by a single run in
eight innings, and while the defeat
did not stand alone in depriving
the Hugmen of a fourth straight
flag, the fact remains that Wash
ington won by only two games at the
finish.
The morning game at Chicago
came to its abrupt close at the end
of the eighth with the Reds ir
front by 9 to 8. The Cubs reward
ed their followers with a 10 to 5
victory in the afternoon.
Henry Meine pitched the Pirates
to an 8 to 4 triumph over the
Cardinals in the morning and Remy
Kremer repeated the performance
I in the afternoon by a score of 8 to
2.
The Phillies outpunched Brooklyn
by 14 to 12 in a wild first game, but
the home forces rallied behind the
curving of Johnny Morrison to
romp off with the second by 5 to 3.
The Giants completed the Na
tional program by dividing a dou
ble-header with the Braves, whom
they had hoped to defeat twice. The
Bcstonesc snatched the opener by
4 to 3 in a ninth-round rally, but
Larry Benton won the nightcap by
8 to 0.
Events in the American League
moved accordingly to rule. The
Athletics defeated the Red Sox by
3 to 1 in the morning and 8 to 1 in
the afternoon. Bob Grove chose
the morning engagement for his
thirteenth victory.
The Yankees won from Washing
ton 8 to 4 and 14 to 4 in a double
header, maintaining their position
nine and one half games behind
the Mackmen and three points in
front of the Browns, who also are
nine and half games behind the
leaders.
The Brownies trimmed the Tigers
by 12 to 7 and 7 to 6 as a warm-up
for their series against the Yankees
to decide possession of second place
for the time being.
The White Sox won the opener
from Cleveland by 9 to 2, but the
Indians turned the tables in the
second game, 12 to 5.
SPORTS TALK [
Brownsville high school made a
mistake by entering class "A” foot
ball competition, in the estimation
of George A. Toolan of the Har
lingen Star. Toolan holds up the
Cardinals as an example of what
may happen to the Eagles. He
says in part:
* * *
“When the announcement was
made last fall of the divorcing of
the Eagles from Valley football
after their successful season dur
ing which they disposed of the
DePaul Academy team of Chi
cago, after winning the Valley
flag, some fans took the view
that the time might come when
the Eagles might be glad to re
sume with their former Valley
opponents, who might remember
what some have termed a little
“cockiness” on the part of the
Eagles over one season’s success,
and perhaps take the same stand.
* * *
“Had Harlingen’s Cards pulled
out of the Valley schedule after
their successful race for the Val
ley championship two years ago
and thrown their lot in with Class
A teams, their record last year
would probably have been even
worse than it was.
* * *
“Teams come and go in foot
ball the same as in baseball.
Graduation and other legitimate
reasons break up teams—the best
of them, and because one town
may have a winner one season
does not indicate it will duplicate
the performance the next.
• • •
“The Eagles’ entry in Class “A”
football will be watched with in
terest by Valley fans, who hope
they have not erred in separating
themselves from their former op
ponents who quite often develop
championship teams also.”
mom
George has hereby set himself
up in a good position to say “I 1
told you so.” Perhaps George is
right. Perhaps weaker teams are i
ahead for the Eagles but we ex- i
peet that Class “A” teams will
not consider games with Browns
ville a “crip” for several years :
to come. The new coaching ma
chine set up at the high school i
was put into operation for the
purpose of building up against
lean years.
* * *
The new system is for all football
in the ward schools, junior high,
senior high and junior college to
be under the supervision of Coach
be aided by Raymond Plato and
Cal Surtees. They will teach the
things that Fessenden prescribes.
In other words, all teams in the
local schools from ward school
through junior college will be
taught the same system of foot
ball strategy. When players get to
the high school and junior college
they will be well grounded in the
style of play to be used. Familiar
ity with the system will bring on
greater machine play.
* * *
Brownsville did not jump into
Class “A” blindfolded. “Red” Irv
ine, “Doug” Fessenden and Supt.
G. W. Gotke have seen much
football of the Class "A” brand.
They, with others, believed that
the locals were ready for faster
competition. The athletic advis
ory board, composed of represen
tative citizens of the city stood
back of the move. It is our opin
ion that Brownsville will get bet
ter than an even break in Class
“A” circles.
* * *
Ace Hudkins was caught trying
to cheat the customers. Ace, ac
cording to reports, put on a little
dance at San Francisco with Char
ley Belanger, Canadian light
heavyweight. The boring commis
sion fined Hudkins $13,000 for his
alleged stalling tactics despite the
fact that he carried off the deci
sion. The commission literally
trimmed him of everything he
made in the fight: The remaining
$2,000 probably went for training
expenses.
_ , * * •
Belanger drew a fine of around
$1800. Bobby Johnson, referee,
was indefinitely suspended.
