San BENITO. Jan. 1T.-Ba5ebail
fans OF San Bcnito M their meeting
Friday night VIII decide whether the
city will be represented in the pro-
posed Glass d league for the Valley,
probably will favor a league III six
teams, all Of them il the Valley
proper. in case San Benito is TO 20
into the league.
This was indicated By several OF
the fans, who have backed semi-pro
teams here in the past. who declared
that the inclusion Of outside cities,
such az Corpus Christi, Beeville,
kingSville and Laredo, in the league
would make it too expensive.
Guy Trent, L. l.. Zcnor and others
who have been instrumental in put
ting a San Benito team into the field
in past years, pointed out that p
league composed of six teams. three
in Cameron county and three in Hi
dalgo county, would be able to oper-
ate with a small overhead. because
the travelling expense, and hotel ex-
pense would be small.
On the other hand. they declared
IL the team had to 60 TO Corpus
Christi or some other point and
remain several days, the railroad
and hotel expense would be such as
20 make the team a heavy burden.
They suggested that San Benito,
Brownsville and Hariingen probably
would be willing to come into such
a league in Cameron county. and
three teams in Hidalgo county from
five possibilities there. Mission, Ed
inburg. MeAllen, Mercedes and Wes-
laco.
No solicitations for subscriptions
or donations will be made at the
meeting Friday night. which is
called merely TO determine the wish
es OF the fans in the matter.
II the league is organized and San
Benito enters, this will be the first
time that the city has been in or
gained baseball.

Straight off Tee

The Ozaukee Country Club course at
Milwaukee, where Tommy Armour took
the lead in the Western open cham
pionship yesterday, Is one that lends
itself readily to low scoring II the fair
ways are fast, according to j. Munro
Hunter, pro at Indian Spring, who has
played the course frequently.
Ozalikee Is within a short distance
Of the club where Hunter held down
the professional berth for several years
and he is familiar with all the tricks
pionship is being played.
Nevertheless, Hunter said, Armour's
IS was a. great round Of golf. He pre-
diets low score will win the title.
The Western Maryland champion
ship, under way today. found few
Washington golfers playing in the tour
nament over the course at Deer Park.
Among them are Charles H. Ruth,
Frank T. Fuller, c. E. Maybury. Charles
w. Hauser and Gene Clayburg.
Some of the pros are beginning to
wax bit cagy about the partners they
will select in the amateur professional
tournament at Manor next Monday.
Viewing the narrow fairways of the first
nine, and knowing that they are not
always straight enough to keep out of
the woods which guard the edges of the
fairways. they are going about the
task of choosing partners with weather
eye open for the amateurs who usually
are straight. With the course in its
present fast condition, the long hitters
are apt to get In peck of trouble If
their lengthy wal)ops slide of the fair
way.
For example: J. Munro Hunter and
George Dtffenbaugh PLAYED the course
