(By The Associated Press)
With the final phase of the southern teams’ Invasion of the north
country starting today, It appeared safe to announce officially that any
last faint hopes held out by fans in the lower end of the state for a second
half pennant had become defunct.
The southern clubs did well enough on their home fields—well enough

HARLINGEN TO
GET POLO CLUB
Land Leased And Organiza*
tion Process Is Now
Under Way
fSepcial to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Aug. 8 —This city Is
1 going in for polo.
M A site for polo playing already1
has been secured and is being
levelled.
The question of horses is to come
up for discussion very shortly, and
then a number of former polo
players, and would-be polo players
will undertake to get in shape for
competition with other polo teams.
The move to organize a club here
has met with success, more than 30
already having signed as members
of the organization. A total of 80
members will be sought, according
to the Harlingen polo club.
S _A. Ingram was named chair
man at the organization meeting,
and will handle the affairs of the
club until the time that a total
number of 80 members are secured,
when permanent officers will be se
lected.
Permission to use part of the city
| park south of here has been se
cured from the city commission, and
this tract of land is now being lev
elled and otherwise improved. Polo
posts and other such paraphernalia
usually used in polo playing will be
secured by the Harlingen organiza
tion. and put up at the field.
The club members expect to be
mounted and ready to start opera
tions early in September, although
they declared it will be some time
before they are ready for club com
petition.
This is the first move of Its kind
in the Valley, and is expected to be
followed by similar ones in other
cities of the section.

distinct threats—but it has become
apparent in the space of a week
that the real power lies north oi
the middle. Of 12 games played
in the series closing yesterday. Waco
was the only southern team to win
a decision. Three series were swept
by the powerful triumvirate, Wich
ita Falls, Fort Worth and Shreve
l»ort.
The line-up .or the last of the
intersectional contests found the
disappointing tuffs at Wichita,
Beaumont at Fort Worth, San An
tonio at Dallas and Wace at
Shreveport. Th Spudders cannot
afford to falter against the Bisons,
as the Cats are only e game and
a half back tn the throes of a vic
tory streak that reached seven
straight yesterday.
In winning their eighth \erdict
in nine starts 'gainst southern out
fits. the Cats agaia came from be
hind to trim th* Buffs. 11 to 7. Six
runs in the eightl inning drove
Paul Wachtel to the showers the
Buffs scored 'll their runs off
Charlie Sullivan in the first four
frames, but were stopped cold there
after by McCabe.
A seven-run spree in the fourth
was sufficient to give the Spuds
their third straight from Beaumont
8 to 5. Steengrafe had the Ship
pers well fooled w.vh the exceptior
of Easterling, who belted two hom
ers, one with a mate on.
The Sports swept into third place
by threshing the demoralized Indi
ans. 11 to 7. That made 14 straight
thumpings for Pat Newnam s war
riors.
Old Joe Martina again demon
strated his ability to humble the
Cubs in the rubber game at Dal
las. Although rapped 16 times, at
least once every inning, vhe veteran
oyster merchant had the Prattmen
hypnotized when they had mates or
base. Ten blows off Stein and
Thurman, combinei with three Cub
errors, made it an easy matter for
the Steers to win. 7 to 3. Five Mav
runs were unearned.

A caddy's tournament will prob
ably be held Saturday morning.
There is a group of boys at the
local Country club who are the
envy of stogy-puffing duffers. It
will be remembered that the two
longest regular handicaps at the
club are four; ♦’ at there are two
six handicaps and two nine han
dicaps. That epresents the best
golfing talent on the roster. Now.
look at these 'stablished handi
caps for the caddies: Robert
Champion, nine; Glenn Cherry,
13; W. Kowalski. 14; William Es
calante, 22: E s'ique Saldana. 23;
Robert Ruff, and Henry Bowman,
33. That's not half bad for the
youngsters. Champion plays a
fundamentally sound game and
knows the finer points. He should
make a whale of a golfer as he
grows a tit older.
