The Batsell-Wells skeet shooters
are all set for the match with
Donna here today. Twelve Donna
ties will come &c match aims with
the local boys.
The affair begins al 10 o'clock
and there ISN'T any telling how
long II will last.
It's hard 70 tell just what the
local shooters have been doing here
- late. Fol scms unknown reason
no scores have been turned in dur
ing the past two weeks. There is
one Of two or three reasons why
the scores have been kept q secret.
One is, they probably have been
having secret sessions. and do not
care for the up-Valley opponents 20
know what their scores are. An
other could be thai the boys have
made such poor marks they are
ashamed Of them, and there may be
another reason. The skeeters may
not want the rest OF the world TO
know Just where they are passing
away the afternoons.
The last suggestion Is probably
the main reason for the failing of
releasing scores.
Jimmy George is the only
Brownsville golfer who placed in tho
tournament at Corpus Christi this
past week. AS a result Of his place
in the first flight. he received a
beautiful cup.
George Is a crack golfer. He
shoots a CONSTANT game, and is
just about as good as any around
this neighborhoOd. One would
never know him to be such TO be
around him. He is modest and
very reserved. He is not = brag-
ger. but when he gets on the links
nc usually comes through. Now
should we connect Jimmy with the
ShGNN HAAgtkEES. We NUuAu nhNG 10
omit seine Of the words Of praise.
But at that Jim shoots a nice
score about once a year.
Bob Conner has everything fixed
up for a nice card tomorrow night.
If il doesn't rain. it will be a good
one. and if it does the whole card
will be nut on ice until the next
night.
Common saws that every one Of
the fighters as announced will ap-
pear on the card without a single
substitution or alteration. To
back that statement, the Donna
promoter gays that all Of the
fighters are ready and awaiting
the gong.
Bob will make good what he says.
and very seldom can a fan go away
from the Donna arena dissatisfied.
It's not Bob's fault IL he does.
The Donna News says that Al
Prince will take up the duties Of
Al Robinson in the Mercedes fight
game. Robinson has gone north
for the summer. It's mighty fine
for Prince to keep the game going
in Mercedes. All the fans will be
behind him and keep the Mercedes
card what IL has been.
What's going TO become Of the
fight game? In Texas in general
and in the Valley in particular?
Ranger Captain Tom Hickman
hoped a train TO Dallas Friday 10
stop an exhibition there. and in
50 doing came out flatfooted like
the big bold peace officer that he
l. ard t-id Fort Worth and sur-
rounding territory that they might
Just as well quit planning their
melee scheduled for June 4.
He alleges that the states young
governor told him 1t Is against the
law to stage box fighting and that
II was his duty to enforce the law.
Governor Dan is certainly 2 con-
scientious man. And a believer in
enforcement OF existing laws.
But we doubt If he believes in the
law itself. Why do We have TO put
I'D with these blue Law" guys who
insist on banning all sorts Of harm
less pleasure?
WHY not stop baseball. football.
basketball. tennis. footracing.
riding in cars. movies. and other
forms Of diversion. most Of which
are health giving and morally
stimulating al the same time?
It's BY Us. We pass.
In the meantime. Kid Monterrey
cot a nice break. He's 10 nut on the
main event with Kid Wayne Of
Houston in AL Princes show a week
from Monday night at Mercedes.
Wavne. like Monterrey. is a veteran
of the ring and holds victories over
several of the toughest me in his
division.
Monterrey Is gaining popularity
all the time because he likes 10
throw his fists. and this assures
the customers that the main
event on the next Mercedes card
again will Be > good one
N the Rangers don't spoil the
