Whether the Texas league will be re
duced to a six club circuit as predicted
remains yet to be seen. At the annu&l
meeting of the magnates, held at
Dallas, it was decided to keep the cir
cuit lntapt But at the same time they
passed a resolution increasing the
guarantee of visiting clubs to from 160
to 376. AVhether the magnates will
stand the extra drain of 525 a day for
approximately half the season Is not
known Both San Antonio and Aus
tin clubs were nearly forced oq.t of
thr league the past season by poor at
tendance. Just what Messrs. Balk atad Stifel,
owners of the St. Louis team, intend
doing with their franchise in the Fed
eral league remains to be seetL But
one thing sure, it is very unlikely that
St. Louis will next jear hold a berth
in the Federal circuit.
During tne pasi season me St. Louis
Feds lost a barrel of money. Both the
National and American league teams
played a fine article of ball while the
Feds were erratic. The attendance was
small and the fans Hid not take klnd
1 to the third club. St. Louis is not
a good enough baseball city to sup
port three big league clubs. One thing
Is certain, one of tho trio must get
out And there is about as much
chance of the Cardinals and Browns
evacuating as there Is for the French
to surrender Paris. If the Feds do re
main in St Louis and the team is a
loser it will be another barrel of coin
dropped.
G O. Hodge, of El Paso, has ncelved
a letter from Fred Winson, of Denver,
in which he states that he has received
two good offers to match Bennie
Chavez of this city. Chavez is matched
to fight Gene Delmont and following
that fight will likely be matched by
Hodge with one of the two men Win
son has offers from.
Winson states that he can match
Chavez with George Chanev, the sensa
tional Baltimore featherweight for No
vember 23, and that If he wins he can
match him with Willie Ritchie Ne
gotiations are now pending between
xiodge and AVinson

LOS ANGELES. CALIF. Nov. 12.
Sam Langford, who defeated Tom
McMahon at Vernon Tuesday
night, scored one of the quickest
knockouts on record a few years ago
and all because he wanted to catch a.
train.

entered the arena, and, piling into the
ring he stripped off his street clothes
and was ready to start

Winter Car-
The 1915 Hupmobila puts a new
aspect on all-the-Jear use of a
motor car according to the Lone
Star Mbtor Co, local Hupmoblle
representative
"A greater proportion of Hup own
ers always have driven their cars
in winter, as compared with own
ers of others' says the Lone Star
Motor Co.
"This winter this proportion will be
increased.
"With its splendid starting system
and equally splendid carouretlon,
,the new Hup will be equaF to the
severest cold.
"Furthermore, the detachable Hup
moblle sedan and coupe tops, are
gplng to change people's minds
about winter driving.
"The new top confers all the advan
tages o the permanent closed car.
Without the high extra cost
"Buyers quickly realize that, and
we attribute the big fall demand
largely to these moderate priced,
detachable tops that make the
Hupmoblle a two in one car."

SCHOOL TEAMS
PLAYING SOCCER
Several Practice Games Are Played
Wednesday and Thursday; First
Gnmen Schedule Saturday.
In thepractice games of soccer foot
ball played at the Vilas school grounds
Wednesday, Vilas defeated Franklin
in the first game by a score of 10 to 0.
The second game, which was between
the Alamo and Sunset teams, was eas
ily the best and most Interesting of the
day, the score being a tie, 2-2 Ordi
narily when a game Is tied at the end
of the regular time limit a deciding
period is played. Yesterday tjiere was
not sufficient time for this period and
as the game was not a championship
affair it was decided not to play the
extra period
In this game Brown, Medina and
Chacon were the stars for Alamo,
while Ashley, B. Templeton and Her
bert played best for Sunset The third
game was between Alamo and Vilas,
and resulted in a 2-0 victory for the
latter team. Welch, Cross and Mc
Gruder were the star players for Vilas
and Sierra, Heredia and Gavelden for
Alamo. The last game of the day, be
tween Vilas and Sunset, was called
with neither side having scored after
15 minutes of play. The game was called
on account of rain. In this game the best
playing for Sunset waa by R. Scotten,
Hayden and C Templeton, and for Vi
las by Lawrence, AViUon. and Gillette.
The games jesterdaj showed that,
with the exception of Franklin, the
teams are very evenlv matched, with
Vilas having a slight edge This latter
fact is believed due to the Vilas boys
laving started their practice a little
earlier than the other teams.
This afternoon there were more
practice games. Friday a picked team
from the teams in the north end of the
city will play a team picked from the
schools on the south side for the cham
pionship of the city. Saturday the first
games of the regular schedule will be
played
GALVESTON SIGNS

Billy Meason, who played third base

Meason was reported to have been

prior to thii year, had
played verv little balL His entire ex

First of all
put one right over the fence and score
for yours truly via Prince Albert, tobacco
that made three men smoke a pipe today
where one smoked before, and put new
norloninto men who know what a real
makin's cigarette can taste like !
Why, to fire up a jimmy pipe packed
with P. A. or to pull on a P. A. maltin's
cigarette is just about, just about ! Never
was such tobacco, because no other to
bacco can be made like
the national joy smoke
Sooner or later you'll go to this wonder
smoke as little apples grow on trees. Just
can't help it, like! P. A. is so good and
true, such chummy tobacco, that men.
just go happy about it. You get it into
your system without losing any more
time that you'll strike 18 kt. gold just as
soon as you fire up a jimmy pipe or roll
up a makin's cigarette with P. A.
Also, get these few remarks: Prince,
Albert is produced by a patented process,
that cuts out the bite and the parch.
Prove that at the cost of a dime before
you do the next thing!
Also, nail this : Just you be game enough
to lay a dime against a tidy red tin and
cheer-up your smokappetite !
