Want WILLACY
BILL AMENDED
Districts Ask Add
tional Recognition
Of Water Rights

Several amendments to the Will
lacy county irrigation valuation bill,
which will 70 before the legislature
this week, will be proposed bv dis
trict attorneys and managers who
left Sunday nigh for Austin, 70 con-
fer with attorneys and officials OK
The Willacy COZ 'ty district.
The principal amendment 70 Be
sought will be recognition Of the su-
perior water rights Of all areas sus-
ceptible Of irrigation below the d.
version point OF the WillRcy county
district near Santa Maria The bill
rs originally drafted recognized the
rights Of existing districts only. com
prisinH approximately one-half Of
the area that is expected 70 eventual
IN come under irrigation.
The delegation to Au-4in includes
Y. p. Rentfro Of Brownsville, a. l.
Montgomery and II. :. Robertson Of
San Benito. They we're in confer
ence Monday with w. r. Dumas,
Austin attorney, representing the
MiilEc. district.
The measure was drafted last week
and presented the Valley districts
for consideration. The bill sets out
that the dIStrlct proposes 70 ulFert
flood w. ters only from the Rio
Crande, and specifically recognizes
the rights Of all districts now organ
id.
An application for a permit to d.
vert flood waters from the Rio Gran
de was presented the state board Of
water engineers on January 4, but no
action has been taken By the board
pending adjustment between the
Willacy county district and other ir-
rigati0n interests Of the Valley rela-
tive to recognition Of water rights.
Attorneys for the various districts
have indicated there u no objection
to diversion Of flood waters, and
that the only factor in which other
irrigation interests have a primary
interest is protection of their rights
to the normal flow Of the stream.
They expressed confidence that all
features Of the bill would be worked
out upon a satisfactory basis and that
az finally passed by the legislature
il will prove advantageous 20 the
Willacy district As we'll ~ all irriga-
ticn interests.

IN two previous occasions they
had knocked off four consecutive
wins, their best mark heretofore. In
an effort to prolong this streak
Manager Walter johnson has named
Irving Hadley, his husky young
Highlander, to pitch today.
Though experiencing an off year,
Hadley stopped the Browns abruptly
less than two weeks ago and figures
to provide some tough opposition In
this instance. n.a
Either Sam Gray or Jack Ogden,
seasoned orthodox men, will draw
the negative side OF today's argu-
ment. Both have had plenty of
rest and hope to stave off clean
sweep. -,
1t required a stout ninth inning
wallop and some fine pitching by
Garland Braxton to clinch yester-
days verdict. and the happy combi-
nation. which was forthcoming, en-
Rhled the Gniffs to double up on the
Browns for the season with Il
games won and lost Some solid
walloping by Joe Judge and Sammy
Rice. the Allison Street residents,
supplied the punch which made No.
12 possible.
These roommates first combined
their bludgeQns to rush across q
run in. the fifth Then with the
score locked at 2-ali in the ninth
they stepped out with consecutive
doubles to settle the dispute for
once ana all. Judge slammed bis
two Dagger off the right field
screen with two out in the last
semester and when Rice delivered
likewise with double to right
center It was finish.
The wiry Braxt0n had one OF
his best days while accounting
for his tenth win of the cam
paign. Only five safeties saIuted
his scFeWbalI and these, for the
most part, were scattered
Alvin CrOwder. who used to draw
a Washington pay check. gave a.
better than passive account of him
self but was unable to work out of
that ninth period hole and con-
sequently surrendered. Jack Hayes,
the Alabama wild man, had a big
time with two singles, the second
OF which aided In that fifth inning
rush.
1t was a tough scrap for four
heats with honors even but the
Griffmen came up with A. pair in
the fifth. Hayes beat out single
to o'Rourke and Judge doubled him
across with a stab to right. Rice
then got in his first runmalxing shot,
a slap to the same section.
Not to be denied the Browns
responded with run I'm their
