Breckenridge High and San Antonio
Academy to Send Track Teams.

San Antonio Academy will get an
opportunity to avenge itself on the
Breckenridge High School track team
for the defeat recently experienced al
the hands of the South Siders when
they meet at the tri-school events
scheduled for Kerrville Saturday aft
ernoon. Schreiner Institute of Kerr
vile will be the other school in the
meet.
Breckenridge will take a twelve
man team and Manager Ross Smith
to Kerrville. The best bet is "Vic.
toria" Urban, who neared the state
record for the discus throw and beat
the district record for the shot put al
a recent meet at San Marcos. Another
standby of the Brackies is Brace Par
ker, hurdle artist. George NcsrstG
who was enthusiastically ineligible to
compete in San Marcos meet. proc
ably will bear the Purple and White
standard in the pole vault. Greammle
and Elder are Brackenridge's hopes
in the distance runs. Van Balm. who

speedster, run for sprint honors. dc
will be backed up in dashes by Tom
johnson, who has been improving
steadily. Tom Massie, captain and

The San Antonio Academy team is
built around Scott Wysong who enters
every event except the weight heavins
and long distance runs. The "als7
ran" column is not where you find
Scott at the end of the meet for he
was high point man in the first
Academy Breckenridge meet, making
% points.
All doping. however, is useless, sine.

horse" to u:.set the tottering dope
bucket. The Institute lads have moi

ROMERO'S SNEERS
MAY BRING FIRPO
FROM RETIREMENT
wild Bull" Says He'll
Fight Chilean If He Gets
First Whack.
BY the Associated Press.

Buenos Aires, April 24.-Luis An
gel Firpo, South American heavy
weight champion, who recently de-
clared his intention to retire from
the ring. announced today that he is
willing to 20 to the United States
and fight Quintin Romero, Chilean
heavyweight. provided Romero fights
no other boxer previously to their
meeting.
Firpo informed Juan HONS, repre-
sentative of Tex Richard, who said he
was cabling Richard to make efforts
to call off Romero's match with Floyd
johnson on May and substitute for
it a Firpo-Romero bout at a later
date.
This reversal of Firpo's much reit-
Grated retirement decision is due, be
asserts, solely to resentment at re-
ported declarations by Romero that
Firpo feared him, together with state
ments of a similar tenor published
in the Chilean newspapers.
HONS Said that if match with
Romero could be arranged. he had lit
tie doubt that Firpo would be willing
to sign IN afterward TO meet Harry
Wills and Jack Dempsey.
II might do So" Firpo admitted,
but he added that he would make no
commitments until after fight with
Firpo with Romero was assured.
"Romero claims ] am afarid OF
him." said Firpo to the correspondent
in confirming his new decision. The
Chilean papers say / am afraid OF
him, / can't stand that. i will go
to the United States and fight
Romero provided he fights no one else
until he meets me. / want to be the
first to knock him out.
II am willing to go and fight him
without guarantee. His defiance
of me is the only reason / have for
changing my mind. Regarding Wills
and Dempsey, l am not thinking of
them"
HONS declared he had no intima-
ton of Firpo's feeling regarding
Romero until Luis Angel telephoned
him last night.

YOAKUM WILL BRING
CRACK TEAM TO PIT
AGAINST ALL-GOLDS
Koerth Is Pitching, Star
Who Probably Will Work
Here Sunday.

In the Yoakum ball team that plays
here Sunday at Broadway Athletic
Field. the local All-Gold Coffee Giants
will meet what is considered one of the
best semi-pro clubs in Southwest
Texas.
Yoakum is stronger than most OF
the other mines because it has the ace
of righthanders working on the mound
in the person of Koerth. He is consid-
cred the smartest pitcher in those
parts, and on last Sunday pitched his
team TO victory over the fast Guerra
Turkey Trotters, which club defeated
| the local Giants by a one-run margin
in the first game of the season.
The Coffee team will have two good
hurlers to send in against the visitors,
Burt CHASER and Jack Hunt. the lat
ter lad who turned back the Kennedy
club last Sunday. He is youngster,
with speed and a good curve ball.
Yoakum will have another hurler
along. Cook.
Pete Onion feels his club is extreme
ly fortunate in securing tie services of
"Chic" Falk. the shortstop who did
such sensational work Sunday and
whose homer won the game for the
Giants in the tenth.
The Giants have signed Clyde Con-
oily to act in a utility role. taking the
place of Davis. who Jumped the
club Conoly is an all-around man
and is dangerous with the war-club.
Record crowds are expected to at
tend the series in May and June be-
tween the Ell Fenix ball team and the
All-Gold Coffee Giants. FL Fenix has
a fine team, and just recently put up
two great games against the local
Texas Leaguers and, with the large
following that both clubs have, it is
possible that attendance records in
semi-pro ball here will be shattersl.
