July 19.—A soft b&ll tou | ament is being planned for the middle of August to wh / teams from all over the Valley wwl be invited, according to Adolph Thomae who Is promoting the event. It is intended to provide a subs tantial trophy which will remain in possession of the winning team for only one year unless it is able to win two tournaments in which case permanent possession will be given. Thomae points out that San Benito has an excellent dio | ond which t! • well lighted and that is proposed to install two additional outfield lamps. A feature of the tournament vfll be the matching of Hidalgo Coun ty against Cameron county teams. In other words, two neighboring towns will not be required to play each other in the tournament. It may not be possible to carry out this plan exr^ tly but will be as far as possible. Thomae has already discussed the proposed tournament with a number of Valley managers and they have expressed an interest in it. Those who want additional in formation may write Thomae here.
