Bewildered By
This More
PfcW*W YORK, March 27. t«p>—The
[has-been of little more than a year
m Ho. James J. Braddock, sat en
throned Wednesday In the heavy
I driver's seat, placed there by
' Mficlal ukase of the bewildering
rulers of fightdom, the New York
•tate Athletic commission.
Using the same sweeping author
> ity they employed in ruling Brad
r «°ck no lit opponent for Walter
Neusel Just 14 months ago. the
oommisisoners declared the New Jer
sey veteran the No. 1 challenger for
Max Baer's heavyweight title.
They informed Madison Square
Oarden it would have to abend (Mi
its plans for sending Max Schmel
thg against Baer for tht title here
In June.
If the Oarden wants to hold s
Baer-Schmellng bout in this state,
they said. Schmeling first will have
to eliminate Braddock, technical
winner of the Oarden‘s ill-fated
heavyweight elimination' tourna
ment.
That tournament, incidentally,
proved to be the boomerang that
wrecked Jimmy Johnston's well-laid
plans for s championship battle
between the two Maxes. The commis
sion ruled that since the Oarden
had advertised the tournament as a
series of eliminations designed to
find an adequate opponent for Baer,
It would have to stand by the implied
promise to match the winner against
Baer.
The to Ions gave the Oarden one
"out." They said they would approve
t Baer-Schmellng match If the ex
champion from Germany would meet
Braddock first.
Neither Colonel John Reed Kil
patrick. Oarden president, nor
Johnaton would indicate just whst
course the Oarden would pursue, but
It seemed elementary that there
were only two alternatives:
1.—To persuade Joe Jacobs. Sch
meling'* manager, to send the Teu
ton against Braddock in s final
•Elimination "
2 —To take the Schmellng-Beer
fight out of the state.

Cleveland Indians Sure
To Be Tough This Season
By ALAS GOULD
NEW ORLEANS. LA. March 27.
iJPt—Regardless of where he land*
the Cleveland Indians this year, Big
Chief Walter Johnson Is rapidly
organising a Tribe that may domin
ate the American League, once it
develops Its full strength.
It is not yet fully equipped to go
on the war-path, but It will be.
Right now It lacks the Infield
balance and the grade of backstop
ping essential to make the most of
its superlative right handed pitch
HOOK. LOPEZ
'FRIDAY
Return Bout Expected To
Attract Capacity
Crowd
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, March 27.—The
fight that Valley fans have been ask
ing for—a return bout between Guero
Lopes and Henry Hook—will be serv -
ed up st the American Legion arena
here Friday night.
They fought onoe before In
Brownsville and Hook was given the
decision, but the verdict sent more
than half the fans home yelling their
heads off that a rank Injustice had
been done.
Lopez, the fans felt, was certainly
entitled to no leas than & draw, and
after the fight Hook himseU ad
mitted that Lopez was far and away
the beet scrapper he had encountered
in the south Texas territory.
That was the only fight that Lo
pez. a hard-hitting Monterrey prod
uct, ever lost In the Valley The
• Guero’’ was burned up by the In
dianapolis boy s rough tactics and
was anxious for a re-match. The
bout was not put on at the time being
because of a tiff between match
makers of the Brownsville and Har
lingen arenas.
Hook Is near top form at present
as was shown by his eighth round
kayo of Kid Bruno In San Antonio
Tuesday night. The Indianapolis
Hurricane fought Bruno once be
fore In the Harlingen arena, taking
a decision.
It was only through the efforts of
Rudy Oonzales, Laredo sportsman,
that the management was able to
sign Lopez for the Friday night scrap
Oonzales made a trip to Monterrey
to line the “Guero' up for the re
turn bout.
The fight should be one of the
best seen in the Valley in many a
moon. There is no doubt about
Hooks class for he rates with the
top 15 bantams In the country. And
there also Is no doubt but that Lo
ne* la the most worthy opposition
that has been toeaed In Hook's
I path in this section.
A strong supporting card has been
arranged for the Friday night event
March 27. 1135— William Bar
rett Travis was in constant cor
respondence with friends back in
his native South Carolina, as well
as acquaintances elsewhere. In all
of it. he urged them to come to
Texaa. one had asked him what
kind of people lived here.—a ques
tion that was often asked Texas
was such a tremendously far away
place that It did not seem possible
It could be Inhabited by the ques
tioner's own or a closely related
people, and besides, it suffered
from the odium which attaches to
new countries. Replying, Travis told
him—"The population of Texas is
1 the shrewdest and most intelligent
of any oountry on earth." Travis
was a lawyer and a trained think
er, but he was also young, robustly
alive and enthusiastic over Texas,
visualising a grove of oaks where
only an acorn lay. As a letter-writer,
we find him at one time request
ing a church organisation to send
ministers to Texas; at another,
pleading with a former acquaint
ance. skilled in military matters, to
make his home here. Travis and the
kindly, chivalrous James B. Bon
ham were boyhood friends. The at
tachment never grew cold, and was
to end and bring them in death as
,it began with them in life,—side by
ide. It is interesting to consider
that, while the population of Tex
as was made up of people from
many states, mostly, but not all.
southern.—oftentimes those who
hailed from the same state had
formerly been residents of the same
community, or locality. In it. There
was the case of James W. Fannin
and Mirabeau B. Lamar, who were
natives of Georgia and boyhood
friends when Madisonville was
their home. Both were from fam
ilies that were typical of southern
ers of wealth In land and slaves.
At the time of which we write.
Fannin was operating a plantation,
of which he was part owner, lo
cated in the section that is now
Brazoria County. He came to Texas
ii, the fall of 1834; Lamar had not
arrived at this time A mournful
interest will always hover around
the memory of the noble-heertea
Fannin, who was feted to be among
the victims of one of the cruelest
acts of military history- Lamar
commanded the cavalry In the bat
tle which gained Independence for
Texas, and later further distin
guished himeelf when It became a
nation.
ST PETERSBURG. Pla.. March
27 —P)—The New York Yankees’
Surchase of Pat Malone from the
t. Louis Cardinals brings the vet
eran righthander back under the
wing of the manager for whom he
did his beet work.
Malone pitched fine ball for Joe,

inf staff. The batting order carries
explosive power, with more long
range guns than the champion De
troit Tigers.
With a Cochrane or a Foxx behind
the plate, the Indians would scalp
the rest at the league without much
difficulty.
The premature attempt to put
Johnson “on the spot" this spring
by booming the pennant prospects
of the Indians abruptly was checked
by the club's lose of Billy Knicker
bocker. sensational shortstop and
balance wheel of the team’s kid in
field.
Shortstop Needed
Knickerbocker was stricken with
appendicitis a fortnight ago. He U
out of the hospital but the Indians
will be lucky If he can return to the
lineup by the middle of May and
luckier If he then can duplicate his
brilliant 1934 performances. The
club Is trying desperately to get an
experienced replacement. -
There should be no doubt of the
Indians running 1-2-3 throughout
the season with the power generated
by such fence-crackers ss Avert!!.
Vosmik. Campbell. Troaky and Hale,
together with such talented pitch
ers aa Harder. Pearson. Hudlin,
Hildebrand and Clint Brown.
Johnson has played no favorites In
revamping the team. Hl.s Judgment
has been vindicated In converting
Hal Troaky from an outfielder to
one of the league's hardest hitting
first basemen.
Despite criticism he kept Knick
erbocker at short last year until
the youngster found himself. This
spring he benched the veteran Wil
lie Kamm, shifted Sammy Hale from
second to third base and put the
youthiul Louis Berger In the Key
stone spot. Berger will be a fresh
man In sophomore company.
Infielders Young
#
II and when Knickerbocker takes
his regular post, the Cleveland In
field will be the youngest In either
major league, averaging little over 22
years, but It will be one of the
rangiest and hardest hitting quar
tets.
It will be up to the diminutive
Prank Pytlak and either Olenn My
att or Bill Brenid, acquired from
Kansas City, to handle a pitchui
staff that has great equipment.
Mel Harder, aoe of the righ-hand
ers. ahould excel his splendid 1934
record and rival New York's Lefty

fcr league pitching leadership. Mon
te Pearson and Willis Hudlin have
the stuff to be 20-game winners. The
veteran Clint Brown and Oral Hil

last season, look ready for come

will have no out field w orries. Vos

For Carefree Kitchens Use
NATURAL GAS
The kitchen in the ordinary home too often represents the
task master of the whole house. It is usually thought of as the
location of practically all of the drudgery connected with
housekeeping. This condition can easily be changed to make the
kitchen, around which the home is built, a carefree room.
The use of Natural Gas for cooking, water heating and re
frigeration can lessen a great many household tasks. The mod
ern Gas Range can make cooking, particularly oven cooking, a
sure process that requires very little pot-watching. A constant,
ample supply of steaming hotwater, supplied by a Gas Heater,
makes cleaning, dishwashing and laundry much simpler and eas
ier tasks. Gas Refrigeration offers you silent, economical food
protection without care.
Let us explain how you can equip your kitchen with mod
ern, efficient Gas burning appliances and so greatly decrease
household drudgery and have a Carefree Kitchen.
