BROWNS BANK
ON NEWCOMER;
RIP IS BACK
BY BRIAN BELL
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer)

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
March 5.-P)-Manager Dan How
ley of the st. Louis Browns believes
that what has been done in base
ball can be done again. Last sea-
son he tossed two untried young
sters into his infield and they made
good. Now he is considering re-
peating the experiment with an
other lad.
Eddie Grimes is the boy who may
be given the acid test on his first
trial. He is a third baseman and
batted 1874 for Tulsa in the West
ern league last year. If he gets
the assignment for the Browns,
Frank ORourke. one of baseball's
energetic performers, will move
over to second base, temporarily
forming Otis Brannon to the
bench. Grimes has shown that he
can field. If he can hit he is in.
The infield will be completed by
Lu Blue at first base and Ralph
Kress at ~shortstop. Kress was
good last season and will be better
this year, says Howley.
Browns Confident
The Browns, who finished third
in the last campaign, are conf
dent that they car do better. They
base their optimistic predictions on
increased reserve strength, addi-
lions to the pitching staff and a
never say die spirit.
At this time last year the Browns
had only two outfielders for Har-
ry Manush who was later t. fall
only one point shy of the league
batting leadership, was injured.
Now Manush, Schultz and Nc
Nicely are ready with Frank Nc
GoWan who finished in sensational
style with the club, threatening to
make q regular place for himself.
Morris Badgro, former University
Of Southern California star, up
from Tulsa, probably will get his
major league experience at first
hand.
Wally Schang, still a great catch
er, and Clyde Manion, will tutor
young Dick Ferrell as the fresh
man member Of the catching staff.
Farrell has much to learn but is
willing.

is Warren rip" Collins; a 32-year-
old veteran with numerous major

And for his opponent he had Art

the heavier of the two, outweighing
the Santone lad by four pounds.
Their weights were $50 and 154.
Bowers landed an overland right to
Carriers jaw, and the fight was over

BATTLE OF HAS REENS

BAL Ale Or
In an effort to provide something
different for the boxing fans a Mil
waukee, Wis, club In 1913 matched
two of the greatest Of all time
lightweight champions for a 10
round no-decision bout.
One was Battling Nelson, the
broken-down Dane, and the other
Ad Wolgast, also well past the age
where he was a dangerous boxer.
Before a well filled house of cu-
rious customers these two war hor-
ses Of the padded canvas staggered,
on the night of Oct. Is, 1913, thru
a slow, ludicrouS contest that was
hooted and booed. Nelson was ter
rible and Wolgast almost as bad.
At the finish Wolgast was an
easy winner, although his punch
was gone and he did little damage
to Nelson. He ShoWered plenty Of
gloves and as usual the Battler had
no defense and merely soaked up
the punishment like a sponge.
Nelson was really pitiful but man.

VALLEY BALL
FANS TO MEET
League May Be Clinched At
Mercedes City Hall
Wednesday p. M.

Representatives from every town
in the Valley, DESTROYS of entering
the proposed Glass D baseball league
are to gather tomorrow night at
Mercedes. for organization purposes.
The meeting is to be held at the city
hall.
This was til decision reached by
0. N. Boston and Bob Wells, who,
as representatives Of the baseball
fans of Cameron county, have been
working for a week toward organi-
zation of the league. The commit
tee announced yesterday that they
would get in touch with Chairman
Guy Trent, of San BenitO, and in
form him Of results obtained so far,
which are a. follows:
McAllen is ready to enter the lea
que. They will do so under the
auspices Of the American Legion Of
that city; Mission is uncertain, there
doesn't seem to be anyone in that
city willing to organize his town.
Such citizens as Hollis Rankin, Mar
vim Goodwin, DR.. Burnett and
Judge Strickland, whom Mr.. Wells
has seen, are heartily in favor of
Missions entrance into the league,
Wells declares.
Mercedes is considered a member
however it hasn't been announced
officially.
Boston and Wells left this morn
ing for a two days trip-and the
last one-toward organizing the cir
cult.
Brownsville, San Benito and Har-
lingen declared themselves ready
sometime ago.
1t is expected that one of the best
baseball meetings ever held in the
Valley-and one that will accomplish
be that Of tomorrow night
at Mercedes, in the city hall, start
ing at 7:30.

Speers Of the Hidalgo News; Col

nor Of the Edinburg Review and
Al Prince of the Medcedes News.
Robinson knows what it takes to
bring out the crowds.
Prior to the fight in Miami last
week, Jack Dempsey, promoter, is
reported to have called in the peanut

clared to them:
Every one Of you Is as much a

seems certain to succeed in his
comeback effort.
Manager Howley expects two Of
his youngsters who did little active
pitching last year to be ready to
take their turns in 1929. Dick
Coffman and Ed Srelecki worked
less than a dozen games between
them in 1928 but every indication
points to more activity to come.
Alvin Crowder and Sam Gray
may not do 20 well in the new sea-
son but Manager Howley hopes he
will not have to look to his two
aces for averages Of 1903 and .625
respectively.
Walter Stewart, a promising left
handler for two years with the
Browns, as sick a part of the last
season and has never reached the
heights his boosters claim await
him. He may justify the expecta-
tons Of his friends at any time.
The only other left handler in the
Browns camp Is Oscar Estrada,
who pitched for Shreveport.

BY PAUL r. MALLON


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The
fighting SEVENTEEN congress which
adjourned for the Christmas holi-
days with the senate locked in a
bitter filibuster came back today to
finish up its work in an atmosphere
of peace.
An agreement was negotiated by
senate leaders whereby the Kellogg
anti-War treaty will be considered
before the naval cruiser building
bill, thus settling the dispute of
precedence to the satisfaction of
both sides. Under this agreement
Chairman Borah of the foreign re-
lations committee will get the peace
pact before the senate at 2 p. m. He
has announced he will keep it in this
primary position until it is ratified.
Ware Committee to Meet
The only haze on this peaceful
horizon was provided by Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri the most
ardent opponent of the treaty, who
has announced his Ware Investigate
ing committee will met Friday and
probably will prepare its report to
the senate on the Ware election case.
This report is of the highest
privilege and by it's presentation in
the senate Reed might be able TO
delay consideration of the treaty
He will not say what he will do. He
always has played lone hand and
was not consulted by Borah and
Chairman Hale of the naval affairs
committee who made the agree
ment.
If Reed can be persuaded to hold
off his Ware report or if some ar
rangement is made whereby it will
not conflict with the kellogg pact,
Borah expects the treaty to be rati-
fed within a week. The fate of the
resolution proposed by irreconcil-
ables, expressing unofficial reserva-
tons to protect the American for
eign policy" is problematical. Borah
thinks he has the votes to defeat it.
Naval Bill Is Next
After the treaty will come the
naval bill. 1t is expected to re-
quire two or three weeks but a
majority now appears to favor it's
provisions for fifteen new 10000 ton
cruisers and an aircraft carrier to
be built within three years in spite
of President Coolidge's opposition
to the time limit.
No program as to what will be
taken up after the naval r. bill has
yet been adopted but a senate
clique is planning to force up the
McNary- Haugen farm bill, as re-
vised.
The house is moving along I'M
concerned with such harassing prob
lens as are annoying senate leaders.
It's chief business for the next few
weeks will be the passage of nearly
$4,000, 100000 worth of appropriation
bills.
