broke the old record OF $50 estab-
lished by the Pittsburgh Pirates In
1925. If the Cubs had not smash
cd the old high water mark. three
CHER clubs would have done 80.
for the Fhillies, the Pirates them
selves and the Giants drove in
more runs than the three-year-old
record.
The Cubs also received most
bases ball and to square ac-
counts struck out the most. the
bases on balls totalling $50 and the
strikeouts SCI.
The Cubs were legitimate cham
pions for they led the league at
home and abroad. The Giants were
second on the road, but sixth at
home, doing only a little better
than an even break at the Polo
Grounds. The Cubs had a percent
OF SIS az home and .613 abroad.
Rogers Hornsby headed the slug

PRACTICE TO
Be HELD Bpm.
AZ Valley Squad Bears
Down in Harrington
Work-O Out

Twenty-four husky Cisco Lobocs
swung off the Missouri Pacific rat
tier here Monday morning in fine
iettle for the first annual Battle
OF Grapefruit" with the all-Valley
squad New Years day. They were
accompanied by Coaches w. b
Chapman and Leonard Hill and Bus
mess Manager Howard Robinson.
They promptly set up headquarters
at the Travellers Hotel and after
breakfast began a period of rest pre-
raratory to workout on Tucker field
at 3 p. m. The coaches had mapped
out no definite schedule for the boys
and they planned TO spend the
morning in a sight seeing trip
around Brownsville.
tt In probable that some enter
tainment will be provided by Valley
fans this afternoon and Tuesday.
The Big Dam Loboes we're anxious
TO see some Of the territory they had
heard SO much akout-the Tip o
Texas. A workout will be staged a.
3 p. m. Tuesday also.
Pippen i'm Condition
Along with the squad came Cotton
Pippen. stellar backfield performer
OF 1923. The lank gridiron rapier
- been out most of the presen.
season due to injuries. He Is in coed
condition now and wants TO get into
the game. Coach Chapman also
wants to use him. but the Valleyites
have objected, holding Cotton to be
ineligible.
The Cisco mentor says three OF his
regulars are out of the lineup, and
that Is the chief reason he wishes 10
place the rangy back on his squad.
Coach Chapman says he is convinc-
ed his star is eligible. He planned 70
see Valley authorities Monday in an
effort to straighten out the question.
The Lobo pack has the look Of IN
experienced football crew. The play
ers r plenty husky and appear
hard as nails. Among the individual
stars are Ray Miller who is hailed
as an all-state guard. Miller's work
stood out like a crop Of c0rns In a
marathon in the tough Oil Belt dis
trict this season. willard Miller,
his brother, also made a great show
ing from the fullback position. Coach
Chapman would be well satisfied If
Papa Miller had provided him with
nine other Millers.

man saiS Monday. Il have no idea
OF the class Of ball played by Valley
teams. However. / will say a troup
OF all-stars should be able TO win. We
have heard a great deal Of the
