That is Coach Bobby Cannon S

eleven which his Breckenridge HiSh
warriors meet at Schwab Field Fri.
day afternoon in the opening game OF
the Academic League. -, 49,,
Local grid statisticians. on the
strength of the Academy's 6-to-6 tic
with st. Mary'S Academy in their
opening game. have established the
Purple eleven as a prime favoritc TO
down Coach Crosby's huskies Friday;
but Coach Cannon is a level-hedaHd
young man and doesn't take any stock
in these early season results.
Coach "Hawkshaw" Crosby had q
wealth of heavy material to work en-
this year, and the mere fact that they
hadn't begun to function properly
when they met st. Mary's Academy
is little indication of what the
"Sleuths" might have under wraps by
this time.
And. by the way. there arc those
who consider the title. "Sleuths," as a
pretty good name. 1t was coined
vaguely from the fact that Coach
Crosby is more or less prominently
known ms "Hawkshaw" Crosby.
The Breckenridge eleven will pre-
sent an altered appearance when il
takes the field Friday. Captain Mona
Rees and Bass, quarterback, both
have been shifted to the end posts.

as Cadets clash with the San Marcos
I.obocs Saturday afternoon at San
Marcos will do much to either dim or
brighten that elevcn's title aspirations
in the local Academic League.
The Cadets looked good in their
first local appearance last Friday
whcn they downed the fighting little
st. Mary's Academy team. 10 TO 0, but
their game with the Loboes Saturday
will give the first indication as to
their possible title potentialities in
the senior division of the league.
Breckenridge High, considered by
many n favoritc to cop senior honors
in the league. defeated the Loboes, Is
to q. in their opening game of the
season. at Schwab Field three weeks
ago. The Cadets. therefore, will make
every effort to shove across at least
two touchdowns against the heavy
LobocS Saturday. The Cadets will
have the additional handicap of meet
ing the San. Marcos crew on their
home field.
Coach Kilgore has slightly revamped
his lineup on the eve of the Lobo
game. Curry. outstanding star of the
opening game, has been shifted to
quarterback, while Martin and Wcyel
have been put at the halfback posts.
The plunging Baggett looked good
enough to retain his fullback position.
The entire Cadet eleven, with the
exception Of Schmidt. guard, is in
good condition for Saturdays game.

DROPS A DECISION
TO NEWSBOY BROWN

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15-Frankic
Genaro, of New York, former worlds
flyweight champion, bumped into his
second defeat in Southern California
when Newsboy Brown. of Sioux City,
Iowa, took n 10-round decision over
him at the Olympic auditorium last
night.
Critics at the ringside believed that
Genaro was entitled to the decision,
as the little New Yorker scored u
Touchdown in the tenth round.
Genaro was faster than Brown and
the better boxer, but he was not as
strong as the ncwsboy. 1t was slap
bang affair from start to finish.
Newsboy Brown will be recalled bv
San Antonio fans as a sturdy III !
who fought a close battle with Kid
Pancho here, opinion being diviscl
over the winner. although the majority
favored Pancho. Brown later won
from Pancho in Sioux City.

ger and arm muscles have strengthen
ed UP to the work required Of them.
1t is an old truism of golf that your
swing is as strong as your hands, no
matter how strong your hands arc.
What really happens is that the mus
cles, under training. become sensitive
and thus you can feel the weight of
the club. You wouldn't have any
trouble swinging an axe. II is the
inability of unframed muscles to feel
the weight of the golf club that causes
the trouble. Through practice you
acquire the sense of touch, and this is
one reason why you should work to
master the swing.

N||TzE GETS
EYEF ULL
Of PARK
Say. He Hopes He Makes
Ables Enlarge Stands
Some More.

Carl (Honus) Mite, whose 20
years behind the bat have filled his
head with muchs baseball knowledge,
arrived in San Antonio Thursday
evening as new manager of the San
Antonio Bears of the Texas League,
succeeding Bob Coleman, resigned,
and Thursday morning had his first
look at the scene of his future duties,
League Park.
Mite is a short. rather quiet-spok-
en- gentleman, with a reputation as
one of the greatest catchers of minor
league history. He was never a major
Lacquer in the score of years he has
taken the hot ones off the bats, ex-
sept In the capacity of pitcher coach
for the st. Louis Cardinals; the ex.
PLANTATION, some say, is that his small
stature was against him, and, any
how, he didn't care to go up.
For thirteen years he caught in the
Pacific Coast League and he preferred
to stay near his home, Oakland.
BEAR FOR WORK.
{ Mites size, however, has nothing
10 do with his ability, either as a
manager or catcher. He has been
the wheelhorse of every club with
which he has been connected, and in
the last two seasons caught more than
200 games. He expects to take his
regular turn behind the bat with the
Bears.
Mite has been talking 1926 pros
poets over with Harry Ables, the Bear
president, who formed, with Mite,
one of the greatest Coast League bat
teries a dozen years ago. The new
skipper thinks prospects are very
bright and says he has an ambition

which is 10 miles from Bloody Her

ity decided Mite to move to Oak
land with bis family.
STARTED IN 1905.
The new Bruin boss broke into
baseball with Colorado Springs in the
old Western League in 1905. He then
went to Oskalossa, Iowa, for two
years and then to Pueblo in the West
ern for two, after which his 13-year-
old hitch in the Coast League began.
He was with New Orleans when the
Pelicans won the Southern pennant
in 1913 and with Syracuse the season
after.
Serving at Cardinal battery coach
in between. be went to Fort Smith TO
manage the Western Association club
there in 1925 and. though his club
on the straight season, won eight more
games than any other, he was beaten
out in both halves by the queer quirks
of split season.
He and Ables were six years to-
gether in the Coast League and it is
a matter Of record that the star south
paw and his smart little catcher
burned things up.
Mite is right-handed batter.
He and his family will move here
from Oakland after the national base

the ground level.
In order to perpetuate the names
of those whose ingenuity, initiative
and perseverance have advanced the
material progress Of civilization the
great central roturda of the new
museum building under the plan
would be designated THE National
Hall of Fame for Engineers, In

whose contributions in time, money

existing buildings on the Mall now
used to house industrial exhibits.
