surrounded by friends who piled
him with questions. Goodrich was
confined to the hospital in San
An snio for some time. He return
ed nome recently, and believes he
will be in tip-top shape soon.
A fight looks inevitable now. with
Roberto Hi josa Of Brownsville and
Sully Montgomery of Fort Worth
lined up to do a little cooking on
the afternoon Of Labor day at Rey-
nosa. Hinojosa has gone to Point
Isabel TO do his training with Ralph
Leach, former Valley football star.
Hinojosa will get the chance to
come through in this fight. He has
been going like a house afire since
he began brawling about a year ago.
Roberto has slapped almost all Of
opponents to sleep in the early
rounds. Only one fight do We re-
member in which he failed to do SO.
That was his first joust with Ralph
Leach. Later he put the X. o. on
the Point Isabel husky.
But Hinojosa's opponents we're
not well known in this section. Ro-
berto made them look sick. Mont
eomery is known. Sully is one Of
the recognized trial horses in Texas.
He's crafty and null of ring ex-
~perience. AGAINST this %rnring.
Hinoiosa will match the vitality.
strength and COURAGE Of youth
Several of the prelims on the card
look good good TO us. Kid Gilbert
of Laredo is programmed to do
things to Brooks Hoooer Of San
Antonio for 10 rounds in the semi
final. Hooper Is no stranger to the
Valley. Billy Podrazo beat him bad
" at Mercedes-but now. Podrazo
could pitch with the best Of them
in the ring today. We say could"
because PodraZo died a short time
after his fight with Hooper.
Another bout that should please
the fans. is the n between Tony
Torres of Brownsville and Kid Guer-
ra OF San Benito. Guerra got hot
and trounced everything in sight IN
the Valley for awhile. Then came
the beetle-browed Kid Monterrey.
Guerra has never been the same
since. Tow thinks the time Is ripe
and he will trv to knock the San
Benito rooster from his perch.

There was a glum-f2ced athlete
at Tucker field wednesday after
noon. He was Jack Allen. The
lineman had just been told that he
would have TO undergo an operation
for appendicitis. Jack watched the
practice with longing eyes. knowing
that it might be the last one he
would see for some time.
He played on the Eagle squad year
before last and spent last season in
North Texas. He returned this sea-
son and had high hopes of making
the eleven. Jack would doubtless
have made the travelling squad.
Friends found him disinclined to
talk Wednesday. They made efforts
to cheer him up, but Jack couldn't
see 1t that way. He thought he
would be out for the remainder of
the season. 1t was a hard blow for
Jack.
The Eagle squad continued its
practice in scanty attire. The line
men were drilled by Soc" Plato
and the backs were worked on by
Coaches Fessenden and Surtees. The
boys are getting q bit strenuous in
their warming up sessions, despite
the fact that the season is quite a
way off. They are playing touch
ball with vigor and are putting a
bit of ~exertion into their efforts.
One form Of practice used was to
send two men down the field under
punts to cover the safety man.

The added weight has not slowed
him down. On the contrary he is
said to be 2-5 Of a second faster
on the 1Oo-yard dash.
Davenport was sticking a vigorous
boot into the ball. He soiralled
them down the field for fair distance
with accuracy. He NAV enter a
three correred fight for kicking

On November 10Th, the fifty
fourth anniversary of their wedd-
ing, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Widdi-
combe were found dead in their
Brooklyn apartment with the gas
turned on. The wife, 70, was a
paralytic. The husband, 80, had
retired as chief clerk of the New
York Central railroad. On a chair
beside the bed where the bodies
lay was a note in the husbands
handwriting. 1t read: "The doctor
tells me that Helen must go away
alone. That shall not be. l will
go away with her. We cannot be
separated after all these happy
years"
In the twilight Of life, these two
were lovers still; their lives had
been as pure and sweet as God
would have them be; their joys
were always simple joys that far
outweighed the sorrows, and
when the shadows were lightly
falling, they were happy just with
each other. Then came the threat
of separation; it was the final
summons for Helen-and they de-
cided to meet it together. And
the contentment written in their
faces as they lay so
still and white beside each other
made busy officials stop and pond
and somehow we think we can
almost see them contentedly walk
ing together on the hillsides of
eternity where the bluebirds sing
and the wild-flowers nod their
heads.

Germany comes back amid plau-

years ago, she wins spectacular
records in the arts of peace. The
Graf Zeppelin hung UP a worlds
record in the air; the Bremen
leads the world in ocean grey

liner, a German product, made a
successful flight with 1863 passen-
gers aboard; Thomas Mann, a
German novelist, is awarded the
Nobel prize for literature. In thir-
teen new flying records made
this year, Germany won six, with
France and the United States sec
ond with three each. OF eighty
six world records Germany leads
with thirty-three, France follows
with twenty-one and the United
comes third with seventeen.
Purged of her obsession for war,
is a formidable rival in
the arts Of peace.

CHEEKY tombs in Memorial

full ceremonies is the latest fad
of shrewd realtors. Selling graves
on the installment plan is strong
ly featured. The National Mem
orial Parks association, composed
of snappy, up-to-date grave-sellers,
recently convened in Chicago. The
idea is to educate the public to
entomb with a smile, to abolish
headstones and monuments, to
make humanity's last resting place
a decorative park and to place
burials upon a sprightly efficiency
basis. Sales of grave-lots at one
dollar per foot on the installment
plan was %contrasted with the pres
snt price of five dollars per foot,
