Jimmy George has won the
Brownsville Country club golf
tournament. s%crambling out on top
CT q field Of some 2 starters. Sum
day he trimmed a.. X. Black three
and two as a fair sized gallery
watched the final 36-hole event.
The pre-tcurnament favorites,
Chief" George and Chas. Pickett,
fell by the wayside, shunted from
the running by players with larger
handicaps. The winner carried an
official handicap Of six strokes.
In the consolation flight, H. D.
Seago convinced DR.. Harry Lowe
that he vas great in matters which
concerned the pill bag. The county
clerk defeated DR.. Lowe one up
in an l8-hole final match. Sea-

house cup offered by !. Dorfman's.
Golfing activities seem to have
taken a decided boom in the Valley.
The local club has just concluded
q tournament; the Lower Gulf
Coast associations tourney at La
redo Is still fresh; two Valley youths
made a good showing in the junior
state title chase at San Antonio;
a Mission man, Hill Cooke, won the
Laredo meet; and the fellows seem
TO be getting out more than before.
Following up this cue, Mission
men are beginning agitation for q
nine-hole course at that city. They
have a champion, but he cannot be
demonstrated locally. There are
four good courses In the Valley al
present. but we see no reason why 0
fifth should not be placed into OBJ
Grafton In tournament play. Cooke
usually cavorts under the banner Of
the Edinburg Country club.
Brownsville has the best facili-
ties in the Lower Gulf Coast associ-
alton for handling q tournament. II
Is the only course in the association
thai boasts Is holes. 1t is extreme
~ hard to handle an entrance Of
% or 80 players over a nine hole
course. The links become over
crowded and the players are unable
to DO justice to their games. This
was demonstrated in Laredo. The
scores there were unusually high
although there might have been
another reason.
Another thing brought out st the
tournament was that class Il" Il
becoming more and more crowded
This classification includes PLAYERS
with h~andlcaps of from 10 To "a

Inc association will change the clas-
siflcations in such a manner as "a

Few Of the rabid fans realize that
competitive sports are but one
branch Of a large health education
program in the local school system.

fronts his fcarsome audience for few moments

only captivate their Imagination but successfully
raid their pocketbooks.

He must first study in the abstract man and all of
his natural automatic epileptic responses and reac-

which at 6rst glance looks very like maze. He
must be conscious of Mencken and equally con-

practical editorial purpose Pretends to hate. He
must adjudicate Mencken as very charming

weaknesses Of which he complains.

Stove League Chatter
BY EDDIE ASH

THE Boston rumor factory pre-
Il diets Heinie Wagner soon will be
announced as new manager of the
Red Sox, to succeed Bill Carrigan.
Old Bill got his fill of travelling
with tailenders. In fact they soured
his stomach, or something did, for
he complained OF an upset pantry
several times last season.
The once great George SisIer, first
sacker de luxe and sweet hitter in
his day, has decided to retire from
the active list and will coach and

Johnny Neun, drafted from Balti-
more, will fill the bill at first.

ledo last summer conveyed the i'm

haps it wasn't fair demonstration
OF Johnny'S skill. Many of Casey

Shires' Talk of $4,000 for
Year Rated Real Surprise
Art Was Hired at $4,000 Last Season; Other Players
Worry MagnateS With Demands.

ing for a salary of $4,000 next sea-
son comes as real surprise.
ShireS, who drew approximately
$500 last season, wants his salary
tripled because of his avowed draw
ing power. Shires has had hard
luck all his baseball life, where his
salary was concerned. Fines took
a heavy toll of his 1929 pay envelope
Denied Part of Sale Money
When the Waco Texas League
club sold Shires to the White Sox,
he was supposed to get part of the
purchase price. Shires carried the
case to Commissioner Lands, but
he never got any part of the trans
action.
Babe Ruth's 1880 contract is ex-
pected to come up for renewal in
January, but there is not expected
to be any difficulty in signing the
Babe unless he asks for long term
contract, 1t is understood the
Yanks are willing to give him his
$4,000 again next year, but they
are not willing to gamble as much
on him at this date for 1881.
Another American League young
ster who has put in a bid for an
enormous raise is Wesley Terrell,
North Carolina boy, who won more
than twenty games for Cleveland
last season.
Demands Triple Boost
Cleveland has offered him a con-
tract calling for approximately
$500 next season, but Terrell is
understood to want 12,000-fou1
times his 1929 salary.
Two veterans who may be more
difficult than ever to sign to 1890
contracts are Dazzy Vance OF
Brooklyn and Burleigh Grimes OF
Pittsburgh. Vance drew s25 900 last
season and Grimes is asking that
sum for 1880.
One of the main reasons Harry
Heilmann, veteran Detroit outfeld-
er, and Bob Meusel, Yankees left
fielder, were waived to the Cincin-
natl Reds was because no American
League teams wanted to assume
their high-salaried contracts.
