Out at the Junior college there is
young man who, in Dur opinion,
would make a good coach, that is,
he will. after he finishes school. Bob
Myer Is the young man in question.
He is a favorite among the young
yters. He knows athletics, espe-
italy football and baseball. Seems
10 possess the art Of knowing how
30 impart technique to youngsters,
and commands their respect. The
socal schools won't have to cast
about elsewhere when looking for
> coach for the youngsters. Think
It over.
In the Southern league there Is
an umpire Of ability. We hope
Pres. John ID. Martin of that loop
sees this. His name is Johnson
they call him Steamboat" His
voice sounds like the whistle Of
a Mississippi river barge and, we
believe, that Is why they call him
that. At the beginning of the
1927 season Steamboat" officia-
ed at the opening game II New
Orleans.
Just before the game started
sSteamboat" walked yer to the
New Orleans bench and addressed
Larry Gilbert, manager, in this
manner: "Lary-ry, you have a num-
Der of young men on your club; new
In the league. Remember to tell
them about Steamboat. He is the
same this as in other seasons"
johnson took no back talk from the
players, and especially if they were
newcomers to his league.
Bobby Cannon may have been a
bit disappointed in not getting
the coaching job at Hariingen,
but he landed one as manager of
the Del Rio Cowboys baseball
team. Bobby coached the Del Rio
high school football team in 1925.
We hope the Beaumont Exporters
make a good showing in the Texas
league this year. They are deserv-
Ing of it. Manager Claude Robert
son is regarded as one Of the best
Catchers in the loop, and he is a
/ capable manager. He has some good
material this year. It is up to Elk
porter fans to back the club-and
they will.
Remember Wray Query, who
caught for Houston In 1917? He
managed the pennant winning
Vicksburg, Miss, team Of the Cot
ton States league last year. Vix-
burg fans are looking forward to
another successful season. Danny
Lynch, who performed for Har-
lingen in 1926 is trying out with
the Bills"
Joel Hunt may never be a big
league ball player-but he has the
right slant on the business. He
didn't make the team as a regular
at Houston. He asked to be sent
where he could play every day.
They sent him to Danvllle OF 4
Three-Eye league Give Hunt credit.
Bob Myer was pitching for
Plato's baseball team Friday
against Coach Mems st. Joseph
academy nine. A tall fly was hit
and the third baseman attempted
to catch it. The ball landed in
the palm of his glove. 1t bounc-
ed out and into Bob'S glOved hand,
to bring to a close a rather inter
esting game between the high
schooI-Junior college nine and
the Academyites.
Devotees of boxing are making
preparations to attend the card
Monday night at Donna, the main
event of which will be a 1O-round
tilt between Hinoiosa and Leach.
There will be a battle royal, also.
Starts at 8 p. m.
One of the most successful
county interscholaStic league meets
ever held, was the one of March
% and so, in this city. Director
8. A. Caldwell of the literary and
Red Irvine of the track and field
meets. handled the situation in a
commendable manner. 1t is no
little task handling these meets.
Hundreds of children, gathered
from all the schools of Cameron
county, en-masse, placed in their
respective events, and on the hour
well. it was run off in big league
style.
San Benito won the county meet
at large. with 1874 ID points, and
the other schools finished as fol-
lows: Harrington 81. La Ferla II,
Rio Hondo lit ID. Stuart Place 81
and Brownsville 125. Rio Hondo

Tex EecerriI stated Saturday

held on Monday night, April z.
a IT. Brown skating rink. The
nromoter is trying to line up BAT
fling Shaw and Chicho Cisneros.
If this plan fails Tex proposes to
match Shaw with Ruiz.
After watching the ball players
under the membership Of Coach
plato of the high school-Junior COL
Iege perform against the st. JOS
ennis team Friday afternoon. one
naturally draws the conclusion that
there is in the making a pretty good
Climb. There isn't any natural abil-
itv to speak Of on the club, but the
excellent bunch of boys make 1t
that they can win many
games.
Frank Sublett. of San Benito,
looks like one of the best perform
ers. He plays the outfieid. Is
Ieft-handed, well built for a dia-
