EAGLES AND TIGERS OPEN NIGHT FOOTBALL HERE FRIDAY HOT CONTEST < SEEN I i Record Crowd Expected To Turn Out For First Contest >Continued from Page One) The Eaglet romped through their Initial workout under the lights Thursday night with approximately 1,000 fans In the stands for the pre view on the 1936 edition of the Brownsville club. The Agullas spent a considerable portion of their prac tice session drilling on pass defense due to Mercedes’ reputation of hav ing a good passing attack from Py lent to Barnes. It was a strenuous session as Cofceh Maurice Pipkin wanted to pawsh off the rough points in the chib's teamwork In preparation for the opening contest. In the backfleld, Co-Captain Louis Fernandes will be the key to the of fense. In addition to being a shifty ball lugger from the tailback poet, Fernandez will likely do most of the club's punting and passing. When Billy McDavltt, a newcomer devel oping rapidly, is out of the game, Fernandes will likely play the tricky spin position. Fernandez and McNair will share the duties of safety. The chief target for the passes to be thrown by Fernandes and Jimmie Strong, a left hander, will be Xa vier Quintero, a bruising back with lots of leg drive. Charley Jackson, a new back, and Albert Peres, a clever, hard-working end. TM Orisett, a shifty runner and clcivr ball handler, is another back certain to ^ iota of action with the Eagles this fall. At the wings, Coach Pipkin has lots of material headed by Albert Perez. Raul Garcia and George Krausse, lettermen. Garcia played center last season, but has been shifted out to a wing to bolster the line there. Co-Captain Dearl Adams has the center post well In hand. He Is considered the best blocker on the squad. Other candidates for the wings are Clifton Schrleber, Gus Krausse. Jay White. Joe Harris and Martin Recio. Three lettermen. Jim Box, Albert Barrera and Edward Guerra have Pipkin puzzled as to starters. Doug Earley, a newcomer, is making the competition tough. Louis Henggler and Del Perkins •re the lettermen back for guard Kltion and other candidates are i Early, Goro Tanamachl and Walter Mullins. Tanamachl, a Jap anese boy who surprises you by •peaking perfect English via the southern drawl, Is hustling hard and likely will see service before the year is out. Andres Hinojosa, a 190-pounder who lettered last year, is Co-Cap I tain Adams' understudy at the pivot position. The night plant, made possible through a bond issue sponsored by the Kiwanis club and sold to fans and business Interests here, worked perfectly Thursday night. The en tire field was flooded with dazzling light and the game can be viewed as w'ell as If the games were played In daytime. The plant floods 80,000 ||ratts onto the field, and Is one of She best systems south of San An Itonlo. It is confidently expected that around 3,000 fans will be in the stands for the inaugural contest Friday night. Football interest has zoomed high with the fans and business interests solidly behind the dub. Prospects are that the team will be the best Brownsville has had In a number of years. The boys ap p •Relate the support they are get hr* and It has had a tonic effect on the squad. The Kiwanis club in Srticular, with Robin Pate head I the bond sale of $10 non-inter i bearing bonds, has given the •quad a big boost. Coach Herman Schmalzreid. quiet-spoken, grey-haired veteran who was turning out championship eluba at Mercedes as far back as 1030, will bring another of his hard fighting elevens here headed by Captain L. Bonner. Mercedes teams under Schm&lzrled have been de feated, but they have never been outfought. They play the hardest brand of football to be found in the Valley. The 1035 edition of the Tigers is built around Captain Bonn^. who plays the fullback position. A hard plunger, he was the first Valley player to score on the powerful Valley championship Donna Indians laak year. He played a wing last s'#00*. but la being shifted to full ims rear. Pour other lettermen are keys In the Mercedes team. They are Py lact. a triple-threat backfield man. who is hailed the most accurate passer in the Valley. His all-around work Is expected to place him on the All-Valley this season. Barnes, who played tackle last season. Is being shifted out to end and will be the chief target of Py Ihint's accurate tosses, according to information coming out of Mer cedes. Hie other veterans of the 'Tiger squad are Ragland, the Cen ter. and Draw, the right half. The game will be enlivened by ex planatory comment over a loud speaker system, and by a demons tration to be put on by the Browns ville Pep squad, headed by Hasel Ross Deputy, at the half.

The way the tickets are going It appears that the record books will sene only one purpose—determine by what margin, financial and otherwise, the Baer-Louis fight will eclipse previous record-making at tendances in New York. Jacobs intended to have ac commodations for only 80.000 ticket holders. good 'or a gate of $700.r'00. but the prospects Friday were for a capacity house of nearly 100.000 in the Yankee Stadium next Tues day night and gate receipts In the neighborhood of tl.200.000. includ ing taxes. We've got $700,000 that we can count right now." said Jacobs. "The way the advance sale is going, it looks like capacity In fact, to meet the extraordinary demands, we hsve rearranged the original seating plans to handle a bigger crowd.” If the brisk ticket sale continues— at the present rate $110 is being offered for a $25 ringside seat with the supply said to be far short of the demand—an all-time record for heavyweight fight attendance in the big town will be created.

No one ever saw Max in finer physical condition. No one ever saw him more serious, more determined. All but a faint trace, new and then, of his old, high-spirited clowning is gone. He talks the seriousness of the figh1 all the time, of the act that this is the cross-roads for him. that $50, 000 rests In the balance in future earnings. Terrible i#» Ring In the training ring, where Baer looked horrible preparing lor his tomadic efforts against Max Sch meling and Camera, he has shown late flashes, sustained bursts of sav agery and punching power that were tremendously impressive. Or. William Walker of the New York State Athletic Commission has pronounced Baer in superb condition, lar better m ways medics look for than before his lack-luster defeat by Jimmy Braddock. His blood pressure is lower. His reflexes faster. His muscles are sharper; his huge body in trim, hard as cement. On the debit side, hes still the easiest man in the light game to hit with either hand. No amount of boxing or training, apparently, ever will change that. He has boxed a great deal from a crouch from which hb can neither hit nor defend him self. Those close to him say that's strictly s gag, that he'll rear down on Louis, as he smashed Into Sch meling and Camera, hitting the ne gro everywhere he can get a hand held, from his knees to the top of his head. Hew much of that Louis can take is one major question. How much of Louis' terrific punching Iron-jaw ed Baer can assimilate is the other. No one has hurt Baer yet, knocked him off his feet, and all the big ones tried. STALENESS HINTED IN LOUIS C AMP POMPTON LAKES. N. J., 8ept 20. [JPt—Joe Louis has fight critics guessing. They can t quite figurt out If the brown bomber Is going a bit stale from lack of intensive training lor his bout with Max Baer Tuesday. The 21-year-old Detroit negro boy thrives on action, but he s had little of it lately. He didn’t box Thurs day and he Isn’t scheduled to do any heavy work until Saturday. Then his program calls for peace and quiet In the rolling Jersey hills. Suspicions of staler.ess are based on Louis' attitude around the camp. The scribes say he is getting dis agreeable too far in advance of the fight. Jack Blackburn. Louis' train er. laughs it off. but hints he might put Joe through a little light boxing Sunday Just to keep him satisfied and on edge. On the days he doesn’t do any ring work. Louis goes through his usual early morning road run and then slips into a pair of gaudy pa amas and goes back to bed for a couple ci hours, when he Isn't sleeping he’s either eating or play lllards and always fretting. Is will remain here until 10 a. m. Tuesday, when he will motor to New York for the weighlng-in ceremonies at the headquarters of the New York State Athletic com mission. After that detail he will go to an uptown hotel. Win. lose or draw Louis will return to the camp Wednesday after his wedding to Marva Trotter. Chicago stenographer. The wedding Is sche duled for the morning after the fight.

CUBS WALLOP GIANTS 6-1 _ Cards Whip Brooklyn And Are 2*6 Tilts Behind Loop Leaders — (By The Associated Press) The Chicago Cubs, riding on tne crest of a victory wave big enough to give almost any club the jitters, must be hoping that a certain part of baseball history won't be repeat ed. The Cubs extended their win ning streak to 16 straight Thursday by walloping the third place Giants 6 to 1 to make a grand slam of their games against the four east ern clubs. No National League team has won that many games in succession j since 1916, when the Giants set the major league record of 26 straight at home and added 17 triumphs on the road. Brooklyn.' not New York, won the pennant that year. While they were ripping the Giants to pieces Thursday behind Big Bill Lee. the second-place Card inals put Dizzy Dean on the hill against Brooklyn and belted out a 9 to 1 victory to remain 2 1-2 games behind the Cubs. The Giants, 7 1-2 games behind, i still have a chance, but the pros pects didn't look especially bright for New York Thursday. Lee turn ed in a brilliant six hit game, not allowing a solid hit until the seventh nor a run until the eighth, while the Cubs batted out an easy vic tory against Carl Hubbel. Dizzy Dean, hanging up his 27th victory-, was Just as effective against Brooklyn. He gave only six blows and fanned nine batters while the Cards overcame an early disadvantage. Detroit's Tigers, coasting along toward the American League flag, lost another one to Boston. 4-1. as a late attack headed by Roy John son and Babe Dahlgren broke up a mound duel between Lefty Grove and A1 Crowder. They left the Bengal* only 7 1-2 games ahead of the idle Yankees but needing only two victories to clinch the flag, as each club has only nine to go.
