Port Arthur and Abilene school
authorities are 20 be congratulated
on the decision reached Sunday In
regard TO the site or the state
championship battle Friday be-
tween their high school football
e~lcvens. Not because the ron
test Is TO be settled on the Abilene
gridiron. hut because offers OF
other cities TO stage the game in
their fields was turned down.
s
Why should either Port Arthur or
Abilene. after fighting their way TO
the state finals, play the biggest and
last game away from both Of the
home cities? It's the home town
fans that make possible a winning
eleven. in many respects. And they
deserve to have the game played
On their own gridiron. And In this
case Abilene and ri. Arthur agreed
to play in the former city.

Buddy Myer OF Ellisville. Miss. a
small town near Laurel Of the same
state, is going back to his first ma
jor league stomping grounds, Wash
ington. Myer Is one of the most ca
pablo all-around ball players in the
American league today. He left
Washington after a couple Of seasons
with the Senator's at the behest Of
Bucky Harris. then manager Of the
Sens. Harris has gone 70 Detroit.
Myer returns to Washington from
Boston, whence he was sent.
The boys near Capitol Hill, and
those Of the big papers Of the east
and west. will have a lot Of news for
their readers in this Myer case. You
will soon hear from these expert
baseball writer's in this manner:
Harris didn't like Myer; he was sent
away under the protest Of Clark
Griffith. Senator owner; the send
ing Of Myer away was the direct
cause of Harris split with Griffith,
and his more or less disfavor with
the fans. Oh, it's going to make a
pretty story for the boys; but it's
going to be 2 funny one.
