'FOUR-TEAM VALLEY
LEAGUE is LATEST
BASEBALL PROJECT
Meeting Called for Harlin-
gen Tuesday Night to
Organize.

Corpus Christi, Tex, March 20
Plans looking toward the formation
of South Texas Class ID baseball
league having been abandoned, in its
place will be organized new Rio
Grande Valley League, with Class ID
rating, according to announcement
made to local fans. The circuit will
include four teams. Corpus Christi,
Brownsville, Harlingen and RU5s-
town.
Effort was made a few weeks ago
at Victoria to perfect the South Tex
as League but the interest shown at
the time was far short of expecta-
tons. Shortly after the Victoria
meeting work was started in the val
lev to organize the Valley League. Pat
Newman, former Texas League player
and manager, who has been retained
to manage the local outfit, attended
the valley meeting and on his return
here announced that all tentative ar
rangements had been completed. A
meeting of representatives of the four
towns in the circuit will be held at
Harlingen next Tuesday night,
April 1.
Corpus Christi fans have subscrib-
cd over 5000 to start the local outfit
off. Newman will begin Immediately,
it is said. to assemble his players.
The news of the organization of the
circuit has spread over the state and
already baseball players are beginning
to arrive to try for places on the To-
cal aggregation.
In speaking Of the enthusiasm
shown at Robstown. Mr.. Newman
said nine men of that city met and
guaranteed $1,000 to start the Ro5S-
town team off on the right foot. A

Hauser and Blue Should Put
on Struggle for Supremacy

tain a pace which would class him
with the first basemen who have
been awarded blue ribbons more for
sentiment than BECAUSE they deserved
them.
Absurd Stuff Written.
A great deal Of nonsense has been
written about ball players OF former
wears by critics who never saw them
play and many absurd contrasts nave
been drawn between ball players oi
the mast and those of the present
II might have been thought tha'
Chase was the only player who ever
showed what first base could be ~
read what the hysterical enthusiasts
had TO say about him, but as tar
back as Doug Allison there was q
man playing first base who need take
no back seat for anyone that has
been produced since.
II also has been said that there. is
no first baseman who has equaled
Chase, which is far from the truth
as Fred Tenney could do some things
better and was surer on some plays
than Chase. 1t is true that Chase
could seem to perform miracles AZ
first when he happened to be on his
toes as a play started and that nc
could make that sweeping run across
the field to get bunts faster than
Tenney, but the latter was surer and
safer on ground hits back of the bag
and surer in anything that required
absolute certainty.
Blue is reaching farther and gath
ering them in than he did last year
and he's is not one seconds slower
around the base than he has beer
since he began to attract attention by
his skill.
Hauser of the Athletics, has learned
to play his right hand as well as his
left hand and there is no player oil
the present time who is a better tw,r
handed first baseman than he. HI
can take all kinds of throws back

They Are Out to See Which
Is the Faster First Base
man; They Can Be Classed
Right Alongside Such
Highly-touted Persons as
Hal Chase and Fred
Tenney.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
tampa. Fla, March 29.-There's
q race on in the American League
which will be a race within a race.
Hauser and Blue are out TO see which
can be the faster. perhaps the fast
est. playing first base.
Here are two young men who have
started TO train with SO much speed
in their first base arms and legs
that they are keeping the South warm
where the other day the sun threat
ened to give up the job.
They are not the only first base
men in the American League but
without question they are the two
most polished first basemen in that
circuit and probably the two fast
est in the world except Grimm in the
National.
Blue was injured last year and be
dropped out of q season which other
wise might have given him a rating
with the great first baseman of all
time. In some ways not the equal
of Hal Chase. who never was sur
passed on certain plays. but who was
over-praised for everything that he
did because he was so fast in freak
ing the ball on hunts. Blue was be-
ginning to show that he could main

hand with his right hand and he can
get the ball on his side with his
right hand. 1t seems almost out ~
the question to send any kind OF a
thrown ball TO him that he will be I'M
able to handle.
Clarke Passes a Compliment.
Every man who has seen him play
says he is better ball player than
last year and Fred Clarke. who hap
pened TO go through Montgomery
while the Athletics were practicing,
said he was the best first baseman
he had looked at since Tcnney. That
was before Clarke had seen Blue
playing in practice at Augusta with
Detroit.
Both Blue and Hauser are cover
ing a lot of ground at first. in adj
dition to handling thrown balls well.
That makes them better fielders, of
course, and makes them more valI-
able TO the teams with which they
are connected this season. Hauser
can go over to his right as far as
Tenney could and Tenny's ability to
play first well on his right side was
one of the things that attracted at
tcntion to him as a better than ordin-
airy first baseman.
Both Hauser and Blue will add Ia
the speed of the Philadelphia and De-
troit infields in proportion TO the
manner in which they maintain their
speed at first, and it looks now as If
every first baseman in the American
League. outside of these teams, will
be hard pressed TO hold his own
against these left-handers. Even
Judge of Washington. who is left
handler himself and Pipp of New York,
will find that they have a pattern cur
out for them which will give them
trouble to follow when the season
is on
