he may not be the last. While with
holding further announcement OF ms
plans, Pyle said he expected to add
several others of the top flight to
his troupe.
Little Bill Johnston, famous Callfor-
MIA veteran. Is understood to have
been approached by Pyle. but to have
turned a deaf ear to the promoter 5
overtureS so far.
Big Bill Tilden also has discussed
professional prospects with Pyle. but
it is generally understood that the siX-
time champion, who yielded his title
to Rene Lacoste this year. prefers to
puesue a stage career before giving
serious thought to the advantages OF
turning pro.
The names of Harvey Snodgrass
and Walter Wesbrook, who already
have become professional tennis in
structors, likewise have been linked
with Pyle's organization, but the pro
moter declared today he had reached
no definite understanding with either
of these two former high-ranking men.
The acquisition of four interna-
tionally famous players, however. has
assured Pyle an all-star cast for the
opening of his transcontinental tour
at Madison Square Garden October 3
and 10. Decides creating a shake-up in
the entire tennis outlook.
PYLE, as we'll as the players who
have attached themselves to his ban

In the Evening World OF April 20
1925. I analyZed Tunney's chances,
and figured out that he would not
onlv beat Gibbons, but that he would
also prove too good for Dempsey. On
this last point wrote: "It is hard to
beat a man who has courage, condl'
/ tion and purpose.
Tunney made his debut as a heavy
weight in the Summer of 1924, and de
| feated E,rmino Spalla. the Italian
| heayvWpight, scoring Il technical k
q in seven rounds. Then came his
dramatic battle with Georges Carpen'
tier at the Polo Grounds. Georges
| came up helpless for the ffteenth
round. and Gene was credited with a
technical X o.. but as Dempsey had
only taken four rounds to stop the
hashy Frenchman, Genes victory
| over Georges was regarded as no
boost for his heavyweight amoitlons'
Talking of his fight recently Gus
Wilson. Carpenters trainer, conceded
that Tunnev was far more danger
GUS puncher than was generally
credited.
"Gene may not be deadly hitter,
but he is most Furnishing one.' de-
clared Gus. After that fight with
Tunney. in which Carpenter was hit
freely about the head. Georges didn't
| have caulifower ears; he had ele-
phant'S ears. It's a fact. his ears
fiopped downward just like an ele-
pha Gene must have broken a
lot of the cords in both ears.
Still few gave Tunney a chance
with Gibbons when they met at the
Polo Grounds on the night of June
) of last year. Tom had gone 10
rounds with the great Dempsey the
previous year. But he lasted only
u with Tunney.
Fourteen months ago. through
the efforts of Bill McCabe. the man
who had inspired Gene to become a
champion over in France, Gene was
brought together with Tex Richard.
The meeting took place in an apart
ment on the second floor of 2J2 West
Fourteenth street. owned by Jimmy
Eagleton. u boyhood pal of Genes.
Gene said Rickard, Il have
picked YOU as Dempsey's next oppo-
nent Would YOU meet Harry Wills
for that right"
IAN want is the chance an
swered Gene.
Genes Views on Mixed Bouts.
Tunney does not think it is for the
best interests of boxing that contests
shall be waged between white and
negro heavyweights. He had never
fought IL negro, and never has had
negro as a sparring partner. Never
theleSs, if it was necessary to meet
Wills for the chance at the heavy
weight crown. he was ready.
Rickard offered Wills $150,000 to
fight Tunney. but the negro heavy
weight found an excuse for lodging
the issue.
And SO Gene Tunney, former 4. r.
+. champion. was the challenger for
the world heavyweight boxing title.

ped for lawn tennis, La ROcQue, croquet,
basket ball, etc.
Looking forward to the time when
Henry Ford realizes his dream ard makes
BerOplanes as popular as flivvers, the city
will have an aeroplane landing field with
hangers and service station. A 300-foot
space across the entire coast frontage
has been reserved for automobile parking
to allow unobstructed vision of boat and
swimming races and other aquatic sports.
Practically every precautiOn has been
taken to insure that rHollywOod on the
Gulf" should excel in physical beauty as
well as in 8musements and recreatiOna1
activities. The streets are to be lined
with palms, oleanders, magnOlias and
wild olives. The buildings to be erected
have been planned with a careful eye to
artistic and ornamental as well as per-
manence. 1t is also planned to operate
n basin where live bait will be kept as
precautiOn against shortage Of this i'm
pOrtant requisite Of the fisherman. An
other precautiOn that is deserving Of
mention is the fact that all prices for
boat-bire, bait, hotel accommodations and
other service will be under the super
vision Of the city authorities which in
cures the visitor against exorbitant prices
such as they are sometimes required to
pay in other communities.
Had the coast been searched from end
to end it is doubtful II a more suitable
tract for ouch purpose could be found.
Deer and other wild game abound in the
surrounding country. Ducks, geese, quail,
plOver, and other fowl are plentiful, and
in the fishermGn's realm, everything from
the willy trout to the monster June fish
and fighting tarpon inhabit the waters.
The land is sufficiently high to protect it
from insect pests and every measure to
Insure sanitation is being installed.
A concrete swimming pool, lighthouses,
ETC., are under construction and other
eonveniences are expected to be complet-
ID in time to accommodate limited
number Of sumner visitors.

of 30 years is 24.15 inches; at Raymond
vile, for a period of ten years, 24.07
inches; at San BenitO for two years,
26.36 inches; at Harlingen, for four
years, 22.71 inches: at Mercedes for

two years, 1885 inches. These records
have not been extended over a suf-
ficiently long time to be dependable ex-
cept in the cases of Brownsville, Ray
mondville, and perhaps Mercedes. TAX
ing the record of annual precipitation
at Brownsville for the 5O-year period
and interpolating the annual rainfall at
San BenitO, Harlingen, Mercedes and
Mission based on the records for the
year 1922, we arrive at an estimate Of
the rainfall which seems to be quite
accurate in its general application to
the region. These figures are as follows,

Raymondville for ten years:

ture of 81 degrees F. or lower was re-
corded $50 times or an average Of 5.12

The report of the Lower Rio Grande
project prepared by the United States
reclamation service, page 81, shows that
with adequate storage and conservation
of food waters, $4,000 acres could be
brought under irrigation in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley of Texas. This means
an additional acreage Of $4,000 acres to
be added to that now under irrigation
when proper facilities are provided. This
leaves a balance of 2,OO6, 500 acres to
be developed to dry land farming except
such lands as might be classed as waste
lands, and this percentage is very small
relatively. The success Of dry land farm
ing developments can well be judged by
the farming areas around Lyford, Ray.
moDdville, the Turner Tract and many
other small areas in HidalgO and Starr
counties. The 1920 census bulletin men,
toned above shows that Cameron coun-
~ has 33.4 per cent, Hidalgo county
27.0 per cent, and Starr county 27I
per cent Of the land area in farms. Of
this area in farms, Cameron county has
27.S per cent, Hidalgo county 25.3 per
cent and Starr county 10 per cent classed
as improved lands. This shows that
there is yet a large area in the Valley
both in the irrigated section and the dry
land sections that is capable of profitable
production of farm crops. The highway
running north from Edinburg has stimu-
lated the clearing and improvement of
seVEal tracts of land during the past
three years which have been put into
profitable production Of staple crops.
