SOME people had an idea that the
team which represented FL Paso
against the White Sox is also to
represent this city in the Rio Grands
league. Such is far from being the
case. No player in Thursdays game
has been signed By any Of the Rio
Grande clubs and only two of them
are likely to get a chance to try
out.
MAGNATES are going to Try TO
prove that ball players are
slaves, Ell? Well, if they are they
had better tip Clarence Rowland of

train. That's too good for slaves.
FL PASO'S showing in the national
