mOrOS city teams are TO CLASH II
the first baseball game of the sea-
son between these clubs this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, at Victoria
Heights. The unpleasantnesS nov
existing in certain parts of Mexico
may hinder several things, but the
boys must have their baseball, ano
the more they play the nationa,
pastime the more satisfied the SOU
thern republic citizens will become
Rogers Hornsby is perfectly sat-
isfied" in his new surroundings with
the Chicago Cubs. He says SO him
self. AS you know the boys OF
Wrigley, Jr., r training in Cali
fornia. Never saw such a place ir
all my life, and I am playing bal
this year with nothing on my mino
and plenty in my pocket" the Ra-
jah said recently.
Hor1sby is the ace in the hoIc
of the Cubs, IL you believe players
of that team, who regard him as
Ruth is looked upon by the Yam
KEGS. We are told that Hornsby
has been a understanding Card
inal whose voice was raised to
such a high pitch that the Card
inaiS pitched him right over to
the Giants. He refused to be
killed by the Giant killer, so the
Braves got him. He wore a
tomahaWk without an edge and
carried a scalping knife but found
nothing to scalp.
Roberto Finojosa, popular local
boy, weighing around $50 pounds,
who has boxed a couple of times
on Tex Becerril's cards at Fort
Brown skating rink, is the object
Of several challenges to box. The
latest comes in a communication
from Weslaco. a. follows:
"A 180-pound painters appren-
tice around Weslaco, should be
ready for Hinojosa about April Is.
Like Hinojosa just an ordinary pre-
liminary boy. Will take on Hino-
iosa any time after April Is, any
place any distance; winner take all
or any way to suit H~inojosa."
y
His name is Klein, and in the
words of Ben Freudenstein, what
difference does a name make!
This Klein man is reported ready
to put up an appearance bond.
Other day Ralph Leach chal-
lenged Eirojoe, to another fight.
Roberto Hinojosa may not be the
hest fighter his weight in the
Valley, and may not be a pol
iShed boxer, but Roberto will give
his best when he steps into the
ring, and that's a lot more than
some of these sO-called big-time
fighters have done when they
put on exhibitions in the Valley.
What makes a good ball club?
Bernie NeiS, once Brooklyn out
fielder, now with the Columbus club
Of the American association, has
ideas all his own on this score
Neis stopped in Clearwater, Fla.
where the Dodgers are training, for
a couple Of days visit, and workout
with his former mates, before re-
porting to Columbus. He was ask
ed what ne thought Of the Tlatbusf
club. Il don't think the Dodgers
will be much of a team. The other
day while working out I ran short
OF chewing tobacco and tried tt
bum a chew. There were forty
players in the park and not one o.
EN- had a chew. How can yor
make a good baseball team out Of
a lot Of guys who don't carry 9
pack O. tobacco?" Neis declared.
You may ask, believing that
Neis is a great ball player, why
he isn't in the big show. His
legs bother him a great deal, and
Just that much difference keeps
him out of the majors. He has
al the other requisites. In speak,
ing Of ball players legs, which are
a very important part Of his
makeup. you fans who watch the
Dallas Steers of the Texas league
IN action this summer, will also
see the finest pair Of legs in
baseball, being possessed by the
Steer skipper, Milton Stock. Look

Capablanca had best look to his
laurels, because there are a couple
Of youngsters" of Olmito, who are
climbing steadily to the forefront
in chess performance. Hartwell
Stilwell is the champion Of Olmito
but his fellow townsman, Jack Mic
.kle, has ambitions to hold that
honor. Jack admits Stilwell is q
little better than he, but doesn't be-
lieve that superiority will last long
Encyclopedia BRITANNICA has
been consulted, and is being gone
over in that section whereby the
different chess moves are ex-
plained-that's what Mickle is
