PENIS DEFEAT
MACKS 5 TO z
Jeffries Allows One Hit
In 8 Innings; 'Bish'
New Manager
Especial to The Herald

McAllen, July 22.-Dick Jef-
fries, veteran Valley hurler. held
the local Legion sluggers to one
blow in eight innings Sunday after
noon and the San Benito Pentagons
ran off with the game 81. Big
Dick whitfield nine batsmen.
Griffon for McAllen was hit hard
in third. Five hits and one error
netted the Pents five runs in their
part Of the frame. Errors behind
Jeffries accounted for the McAllen
scores. Wallace for the Pentagons
had a perfect day with the stick,
getting two singles, two doubles,
and a life on B. Yoder's error out
of five trips to the plate. Snavely
took up the mound duty in the
ninth for the Pentagons, and re-
tired the side in order. Brady, a
newcomer, played two innings and
got a single on his only trip to the
bat.
Jeffries liked the hot weather 60
ing and deserved q shutout. Out Of
his four times up he hit safely twice,
scoring two runs and Tailed twice
himself.
The game was the third Of the
three game series arranged between
the two teams. McAllen took one
and the Powermen two. This Is
the fifth straight win for the Pen
tagons. Capt. Williams was out of
the lineup Sunday and the team
was handled by Bishop Clements,
former Valley star.
Next Sunday the Pentagons will
meet the Brownsville Yankees for
the second game Of the series, after
having beaten the Soldiers on the
Harrington diamond 2 to 0, with
Moncus on the mound. This game
will more than likely be played at
the San Benito city park.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July o.
While Lefty Grove is helping pitch
the Philadelphia Athletics to their
first pennant since 1914 he also
seems about to revive the almost
entirely distinct art Of winning 30
ball games in a majcr league sea-
son.
Since the campaigns of 1915, 1916
and 1917, when Grover Alexander
made a practice Of winning 80 or
more games a season in the Nation
al and the campaign Of 1920, when
Jim Bagby, of the Cleveland In
dams, hung up 80 victories, there
apparently has been a lodge rule
against the idea.
The reason is obscure.
A Creditable Record
Whether the pitchers found out
they didn't have to win 80 games
to be called great or the younger
stock of hurlers lacked the stuff in
the Oh soup bone, nc one knows. It
soon became a credltable perform
ance to hang up 20 victories for the
summers Work-With a pennant
winning club. And the boys plug
ging along with the second division
teams didn't seem to need that
many to get another contract.
Groves activities, regardless OF
the fashion, may be attributed to
the fact that he is really one Of the
"old guard" despite the fact that
he has been in the majors less than
five years. He spent five years with
the Baltimore Orioles before the
late Jack Dunn finally got his price
for the long lefthander.
In each Of the last two campaigns
he worked for the Orioles he came
within striking distance Of the 30
victory mark. In 1928 he won 81
games while losing but 10. The next
summer he turned in 26 victories
and was nicked but six times. 1t
was this record that caused Connie
Mack, veteran leader Of the Ath-
letics, to purchase Grove for the
fancy figure of 100000.
First Years Lean
When Grove managed to win but
10 games his first year up. while
losing II, and then merely broken
even with IS victories and Is de-
feats in 1926, many experts" de-
cided that he had spent too many
years in the minorS-that he was
either washed out or was simply a
great minor league pitcher. Two
years ago, however, he began to
find himself. In a heart-breaking
effort to carry the Mackmen to a
flag, Grove stepped into 81 games.
He won 20 and lost but Is.
Last vcl he apparently "ar-
rivd&." When the season ended he
had won "a contests and had lost
but eight. While this win-lose rec
ord is brilliant in itself there were
other angles that made it even more
SO. Grove was wild when he Joined
the Mackmen. He had Iabored in
5 OF more games a year in his vain
effort to win a worthwhile number
OF games. Last year. however, he
was tossed into but SO games-and
came through with flying colors in
"a of them.
Now Going Strong
Despite his unsatisfactory Begin
ming as a major leagLer, Grove has
piled up a good record with Connie.
His complete record. UP to the open
ing Of the prc1ent campaign. was 81
victories and As defeats. The last
official averages issued for Ameri-
can league pitchers credited him
with IA victories and two defeats
for the 1929 campaign. This gives
him a record of 38 victories and but
10 defeats since the opcning Of the
campaign of last year-1928. Also

VATICAN CITY, June S.-Pope Plus

ruler over a temporal state such as his
predecessors had governed prior to 1870,

throughout the city of Rome made pub
lie at noon the glad tidings that Premier
MuSsolini and Cardinal Gasparri had
exchanged notifications of the Lateran
treaty, ending the strife between the
Holy See and the kingdom of Italy
There were no speeches and the
simple ceremony required less than half
an hour. One text had been signed by
King Victor Emmanuel and the other
by Pope Plus, XXI. The negotiators COM
posed a process verbal in which they
stated their "reciprocally loyal and sin
cere wish to observe the letter and
spirit of the Lateran accords." This
process recognized sovereignty Of the
Pope and the status of Catholicism as
the State religion in Italy. After sign
ing, the cardinal and premier talked
together for is minutes.

Finance Minister Mosconi then gave

ing that his first act would be to send
g bene6iction to the King blessing
him, his conSort and all members of
the royal family and bestowiug a spe-
cial benedlction upon Chevalier Mus
Solini.
Reply Sent by King.
The King in reply telegraphed: II
am moved cy the cordial telegram your
holiness sent me at the moment when
ratiflcations of the Lateran treaty
were being exchanged. I participate
in the hope expressed by your holiness
and raise to God a prayer that the act
of today may mark the beginning of
the church. Together with her majes-
ty the queen and my royal family, I
thank your holiness for the blessing
you have impaired to us. (Signed)
Vittorio Emmanuel"
Outside the Vatican the conclusion
OF the signing was marked by OPEN
ing the historic bronze doors to the
right of st. Peters which had been
half closed, according to the italian
custom of mourning, since 1870. A
company Of Swiss guards appeared with
fixed bayonets on rifles instead of the
spears they have carried for so long.
A large crowd gathered to watch these
outward manifestations and to cheer
the entrance and exit of the premier,
the first he had ever made to the
Vatican.
