WACO, HOUSTON
MOVE UP NOTCH
Cubs Still Lead; Bluffs Push
Steers Out of Sec
ond Place
(By the Associated Press)

The terrific pace set by Waco
and Houston already has burned
out nj perfectly good pilot, Bill
Alexander Of San Antonio, and the
two clubs display no signs Of check
ing their dizzy pace in the Texas
league scramble. AS the result Of
victories over Beaumont and San
Antonio, respectively, yesterday, the
4 Cubs and Bisons were out in front
la little further today.
Alexander, who had been out OF
baseball for Is years, apparently
was a little dazed by the present
speed Of the Texas circuit. Also
he was unfortunate in playing most
Of his first eight games against
Houston and Waco.
Under Pat Newman, fiery tenn
pered Irishnlan Of the old school,
the Indians can be counted upon to
develop a fighting disposition, even
though there be slight chance OF
their getting far from the cellar
region. Newman Is one Of the few
players credited with having come
out first in a fistic argument with
John j. McGraw. 1t happened at
Houston, the story goes, many years
agone.
Cheeves pitched the Waco Cubs
to their eighth victory in nine
starts when he nosed out Beau
mont, 2 to /, after a great battle
with Walter Newman. Homers by
Sanguinet and Vigare gave the
Cubs their winning runs.
Houston supplanted Dallas In
second place by trimming San An
tonic, 6 to 1, while the Steers were
losing a Mauldin affair to Fort
Worth, 20 to Is. Floyd Rose, 9
rookie from Topeka in the Western
Association, held the Indians tc
four hits, which was three more
than Jim Lindsey allowed the tribe
on the previous afternoon.

Kid Monterrey Gets
Foxy In Speaking of
San Benito Rooster
Especial to The Herald.)

MERCEDES. April $50 they
call this Kid Guerra the San Be
nito Rooster, do they? Well, if
anyone can get him in the ring
with me I will make an old hen
out Of him." Kid Monterrey, La
redo battler, who is working out
here, said this morning when he
was told that Guerra refused to
meet Jesse Sada in Mercedes Mon
day night in one of the eight round
semi-final bouts.
Guerra gave as his reason for
refusing to meet Sada that he was
through with that kind of fighting
and had graduated into the main
event class.
Guerra has only fought in the
Valley, has met nothing but pre-
lilninary boys, has never scored a
Knockout, and if he figures he is SO
good I will take him, the winner
to get all of the purse the pro-
moter will put up for the fight"
Monterrey continued.
Although Monterrey only weighs
125 and Guerra weighs 1876 he has
issued the challenge. Monterrey has
been noted for his giant killing
tactics in Valley rings, winning
over many boys much heavier than
himself. He knocked out Kid
Padillo Of San Antonio at Browns
vile last Monday night and will
meet Al Mayen of San Antonio at
Mercedes next Monday night in
one Of the eight round bouts on
the card that will feature Brooks
Hooper Of San Antonio, and Bat
ting Shaw of Mercedes.

Several factors in the speculation

First, growing enthusiasm for the

It was felt generally years might
be required to get the c0nfedera-
ton into practical working order.
but original scepticism that such
could ever eventuate was disap-
