than Florida" The comparison is
oot the writer's and was made by

FAILURE OF the delegation to go
% Hidalgo county on Sunday,
! where full day of entertainment
lad been planned for them, includ-
Lung tour Of the county, dinner
IN ReynoSa and golf on the cour-
;eS, has caused considerable embar-
rassment in a number of quarters.

pared to greet the visitors. Waited
|hourS before disbanding.
Cameron county and Brownsville
| citizens who urged the trip and

senger agent at Harlingen.
MEMBERS Of the party before
leaving Brownsville Sunday evening
expressed regret that the schedule
1ad not been carried out as plan
ned and said proper apclogies!*
would be offered citizens of Hi
dalgo.
It was explained that among the
ITO persons in the party there were
''many men of man kinds" and
that no provision had been made
for the majority to rule. Hence a
unanimous vote was needed.
SoAS of the visitors, captured by
,hqS rms of Matamoros, desired
% nd the day there. Others
had arranged golf games to be
played on the local course.
Still others, tired out by the con-
tinual sightseeing of the entire
week, welcomed an opportunity to
-eally rest.
~ At any rate, they all seemed well
pleased with their visit here and
many of the Canadians spoke OF
returning and when they said 1t
there was a longing look in their
eyes which indicated it might be
well for a Valley real estate dealer
TO visit their home land with his
offerings.
LITTLE NOISE about it recently,
but those in close touch with the
situation think organized baseball
is assured for the Valley this year.
Bob Wells and o. n. Boston,
after a ten day tour of Hidalgo
county indicate definite action is
sure during the present week.
Three Cameron county towns re-
ported ready to go at the drop Of
a hat.
McALLEN FANS are said to be
ready to put a team in the field
on short notice. Brad" writes In
the McAllen Press as follows:
'McAllen baseball fans have
apparently assured the City of
Palms a place in the professional
baseball league now in course Of
organization in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. DR.. w. w. Utzman.
executive of American Legion
Loyal Service Post No. 81, McAllen,
stated today that a meeting of the
Legion was scheduled for tonight,
at which time the matter would be
definitely settled.
"A PETITION bearing about so
signatures will be presented tonight,
according to DR.. Utznan, and def
inite action will be taken in order
to settle this much disputed ques-
tion. 1t is commendable that the
American Legion has at last been
consulted by those instrumental in
the organization Of the league, in
aSmuch as that body has afforded
McAllen ball fans a series of games
during each of the past three or
four Summers. Members of the
McAJ~1 post have spent much
time and effort for the baseball
betterment of McAllen, and it is
only right that they should be
allowed some measure of coopera-
ticn in the formation of the pro
league"
