The Sports Spade BULLFIGHTS Invariably are a big Item In the Valley's Fourth oi July sports programs, and two are on the docket this season, one In Matamoros and the other In Rey nosa. The Reynosa ring will present an oddity In Emilio Regreny of Paris, said to be the only French matador In the world. The other matador for the day -will be Miguel Gonzales. The "Blenvenlda" ring In Mata* moros will put on a marathon I event with three matadors sched uled to kill seven bulls. There will be no advance In prices for the i “double-header” as the manage ment Is anxious to gain the favor cf the fans who were lred by the last fight which was abbreviated to one bull due to a downpour of rain. In case of rain this time, rain checks will be issued good for the follow ing fight, the management has an nounced. • » i SAM PERL Is loud la his praise of Burt Hinkley and Trav Jennings lor the part they played In the Kiwanls victory over the Ooodyears Monday night in the deciding game of the second-half playoff series In the Brownsville Playground Ball league. ‘They should call Hinkley Iron Man ” Perl says, “Why he drove all the way fiom Houston, arriving just before the game. And what did I h* do? Why he hit a home run In the fourth with the bags loaded! Suppose he had not driven from Houston? He probably would have hit several home runs. •'And don’t forget that Jennings man. He handled three chances on second nicely, and whanged out a hit in the fourth.” JIMMY GARCIA’S Delta Foods nine of San BecJto has a full pro gram mapped out for the week. On the Fourth the Deltas will play a double-header at Sebastian, ana Sunday they will go to Laredo for a twin-bill against the Lulaca.

Wednesday. Any girls Interested In Joining the proposed league should be on hana for the session. Pat has been working on the league for several weeks and now haa lined up enough players for lour clubs. If necessary, the circuit will be enlarged. • • • THE KIWANTS club Is making a final drive In an effort to sell the remainder of the $10 bonds to be used in erecting a night football plant on Tucker Field, Approxim ately 13S of the bonds have been sold so far. but It is hoped to sell at least 210 of them before the sale Is closed out. The bonds mature In five years and pay no interest. The bona issue is purely a civic move to give rhe Brownsville high boys a plans cn a par with those used by other South Texas cities. Sixty percent of the net gats receipts on Tucker Field will be sei aside to retire the bonds, and It is believed certain that the bona issue will retire Itself within three years. The funds will be distributed to the stockholders each time $500 is collected in the fund. If the Kiwanis salesmen have not contacted you, get In toucn with Otto Manske, Robin Pate or any other Kiwanlan and they will will supply you with a bond. This is one of your few chances to materially help the youngsters who play the grid game, and con struction of the plant certainly will be a big boost to football Interest here. The game Is on the comeback trail here, and the Eagles should have a fine club this season. You 11 never miss the $10, and you will ptt it back within three yean.

July 4th has a deep significance to the dopes!ers who chart the trends of big league clubs and tell you whither they are going. By Independence Day the season Is about half over, and the teams have settled down to their natural strides. The best teams usually have started their surge to the fore. With this axiom in mind, the ex perts predict that the World Series will be an all-New York affair. The Olants, with a healthy lead over the rest of the National League teams, have shown both the offensive and defensive strength to pull out an asy winner. In the American League, the ex perts hand the gonfalon to the Yankees, although they are not so positive about It as they are with the Olants. Oomes has not shown the box effectiveness of other years, and Lou Oehrlg is finding It hard to meet the ball with his old reg ularity. Dodgers Doing Well Then there is that llttis matter of the Detroit Tigers dogging along, paced by the belting Hank Oreenberg and a good pitching staff. Roy Parmalee. a faltering mem ber of the Olants pitching staff, went the route Tuesday as the leaders defeated the Phllliea 8 to 4. It was the ninth victory for Parmalee, who had failed In his three previous starts. The Brooklyn Dodgers got In the victory column at the expense of Boston, 5 to 0. The Cardinals climbed back into third place in the National League by blanking Pittsburgh. 7-0. with Wild Bill Hal lahan pitching his first complete victory of the season.
