William T. Burnett and L. =.
Winans, the committee appointed at
a meeting Of baseball enthusiasts in
Brownsville last week, reported Sat-
urday that after two days spent
in Mercedes and Harrington that
Mercedes was undecided as to
whether she would enter the pro-
posed class D league, but that Har-
was ready at a moments
notice to start.
Il don't know if Mercedes viii
enter or not. However, there seems
to be a lot Of sentiment for a base-.
ball club for that city, which hasn't
had a club in many years, and
never has had one in organized
baseball" Mr.. Burnett states.
1t was pointed out in local base
ball circles that the league will have
to start functioning in the next few
days if this and other cities known
to be ready to enter are to keep
up the enthusiasm.
Brownsville, San Benito, McAl-
len, Corpus Christi and now Har-
lingen, are ready to start putting
a team on the field at a few hours
notice, according to those behind
the movement in the several towns.
Mercedes fans declare they will
know if their town is to enter the
league within the next 10 days, and
should their efforts meet with sue
cess the league will start Junction.

HEIGHT Wins
FOR MURPHY
Six Foot Six eager Scores
143 Points In Big Ten
To Set New Record

MARION, Ind, March 16.-(P)-
They laughed at Stretch" Murphy
the first time he stepped upon a
basketball court. But this year he
scored 143 points in Big Ten compe-
tition, nine more than ever made
before by a single player.
Murphy doesn't owe his success
to a home study course. but to the
very thing which brought laughter
in Marion a few years ago-his
height.
Ralph Gilbert, high school coach,
saw that Stretch" could easily out
Jump his classmates, and decided
to develop him. He put Murphy in
the pivot position the second
team, and kept him there for two
years. Stretch" outgrew his awk-
wardness and learned to play fast
basketball.
Gene Thomas, former Indiana
University star, took over the Ma
rion coaching job. and continued
the work which Gilbert had started.
Murphy became a dead shot, and
experience made him t~irelesS. In
1926, he reached the peak of his
high school career by playing center
on the team which won the state
championship.
Purdue university got him. AS a
freshman he "a six feet. six inches
tall, 5ut weighed only 15S pounds.
He played on the freshman five in
1927. Good coaching and natural
growth increased his weight to 100
pounds.
For two seasons he has been
tossing the ball through the basket
with surprising regularity.

ed out in detail later.
Athletic events will open on
Friday with tennis, playground
baseball for juniors and volley ball
for girls. The track meet will get
under way at 9 a. m. Saturday.
The regulation 440-yard oval in
Tucker Field has soon considerable
grooming recently but will be put
in ever better shape before the
county meet, Irvine says. Although
a dirt track, the local oval is de-
clared to be one of the fastest in
the country. There are no cinder
tracks in the Valley. Charles Pad
dock, one of the worlds greatest
sprinters, liked the feel of the turf
here so well that he remained to
train a week on Tucker field last
year.
With track fast gaining in pop
ularity in the Valley. officials are
looking for n of the most holly
contested meets yet staged. An
especially torrid tussle is expected
IN the Glass A division. Ell Jardin
should be able to repeat their vic
tory last year in the class B as
they have lost little strength
through graduation. Other B
teams are said to be showing con-
siderable Improvement. however.

CAGERS TOGETHER FOR
8 CONSECUTIVE YEARS

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., March 16.
-(P)-There's good reason why two
forwards on the University of North
Carolina basketball team have made
such excellent scoring records. They
have been playing together for
eight years.
Captain Rufus Hackney and
Henry Satterfield, who ended their
collegiate basketball careers this
season, began playing when they
entered Durham, N. c., high school.
Throughout high school the scor-
ing team Of Hackney and Satter-
field was a sensation. They played
together on the freshman team
when they entered University Of
North Carolina and they have been
doing it since. They are leading
scorers on the team.

RYDER SAYS BRITISH
SHOULD WIN HIS CUP

LONDON, March 16.-(P-The
British golfing team should win the
Ryder cup, in the opinion of Sam

1.-THE great thing in golf matches
Of this kind" he explained, "is the
will to win. Our men are playing
better now than ever they were.
and I feel confident that they will
be successful this year"
MI Ryder looks with disapproval
on Walter Hagen's suggestion that
British born golfers resident in the
United States should be permitted
to have places on the American
team. Such a modification. he de-
clared, would make the match ri
diculous and destroy the interest in
the Ryder competition.
