Especial to The Herald
NcALLEN. Feb. 4-Cam E. Hill,
owner and manager of the Edinburg
club in the Texas Valley League,
answering the statement reported to
have come from Eddie hamburger,
owner and manager Of the Mission
club in the same league, in which
hamburger Is reported 20 have said
the Valley would again this year
have organized baseball. adding
three clubs TO the league from the
Valley, namely Brownsville, San Be
nfto and Harlingen. Hill said that
ne had made a personal call in each
OF the towns reported 10 be consider
ing berths and in all except San Be-
nlto little if any encouragement
was received.
San Benito is the home Of Ed
Brady, former league player and
now owner of numerous enterprises
there. He is said 70 be willing to
back~st San Benito. G-n2uzD

a park and team this year. Harlin-
gen business men. and officials of
the Harlingen Chamber OF Com
merce say they have heard rumors
OF q team representing that city but
nothing definite has ever been put
up TO the business interests and as
u would be necessary TO eOet
grandstands and put the park IN
shape and gather material at this
late date, it is thought the PROPOSE
tion will be dropped for this season
anyway.
Corpus Christi a member OF the
league last year. has as yet not an
nounced their intentions for the
coming season, but with the out
look from the Valley standpoint IL
is probable their players viii be
given their release in order that
they might make connections with
ether teams. This Is the plan Hill
will follow and effective February
10 all Edinburg players will be free
agents.
Laredo Dropped
Laredo, also a member last year,
has been omitted. this action being
taken after the close OF last season
due TO the distance from other
teams in the league and the expense
incident TO travelling.
Al one time NcAllen was consider
ing a place in the league and il
other towns would have come
through the city would have been
represented as arrangements were
made TO take over the Edinburg
franchise and plans prepared for q
baseball park.
II is q known fact that Mission
had q losing team financially last
season and the business interests
who backed the team in previous
years have withdrawn their support.
