and have stated intention of bring
ing the fowls to this section. This
would be a mistake, in the opinion
of Redlich.
He says in a letter to The
Herald: r.. . This will be a great
detriment to the quail hunters of
this section, as pheasants are de-
stroyers of quail nests. Also pleas
ants propagate so rapidly that
with the increase In number there
will not be a quail left in this re-
gion in the next five years.
II believe most hunters will
agree that hunting quail Is much
greater sport than shooting pleas
ants and all epicures concede that
quail is the finest game TO be
eaten"
II Redlich'S indictment of the
Chinese pheasant is a true one, the
hunters should band themselves to-
gether to bar the fowl from the
Valley. Quail hunting is one of
American hunters prime pleasures.
1t is a bit distinctive from other
types Of hunting and we believe
Sportsmen would not care to give it
up for the sake Of the Chinese fowl.
We would like to hear from other
authoritative sources on the pleas
ants.
Brownsville fans will be given a
little in-between meal snack in
the sport line today when Fort
Mcintosh and Fort Brown clash
on the parade grounds at 2 p. m.
Mcintosh is said TO have a strong
aggregation. They have been
winning with regularity at Laredo.
Che Fort Brown boys, known a.
the Yankees, have been plugging
along at a $3.50 rate. With a little
more team play and practice they
will break into the upper division
of the percentage column. The
teams were scheduled to play Mon
day but rain halted the contest.
Following in the footsteps of
Brownsville, Edinburg has decided
to centralize its coaching system in
public schools. j. D. Foster will be
back this coming season at the head
Of all Edinburg schools. When foot
ball opens he will have charge Of
teams in the Junior College, high
school and Junior high school. He
will have an assistant. Foster will
outline the style of play to be used
and it will be followed by all three
Edinburg teams.
Ballew, San AntOnio's second
baseman, is being mentioned as
Fosters aide. BalIew is ac-
quainted with the Foster system,
having played under him at Me-
rid1an college. The aide will carry
out Fosters instructions implicitly.
This one-man style will work out
to the betterment of the clubs.
Team work will be built up and
the older players, in time to come,
will be able to concentrate on the
inner points of play as they will
have already been grounded in the
fundamentals. Brownsville was the
first to adopt this system in the
Valley. All football will be under
Coach Doug Fessenden, basket
ball under 500" Plato and track
under Fessenden.
Bob Wade. Brownsville's foremost
lead sprayer, is making a habit of
breaking ass at Skeet. Gangling
Bob not only did this Sunday but
he broke q total Of 70 out of a pos
sible IS sailing targets. Jimmy
George is continuing his good work
with the gun also. He got a "a Sun
day. We predict that he will get
a Is within the next few weeks.
Wade and III. ID. Seago, county
clerk, engaged in a skeet contest
with one hand tied. Their differ
ences were not settled, however,
as they tied Hall. Seago has a
way Of taking up any stray chaI-
lenges. He Is now about to whip
golf following some boasts the lat
ter made. 1t is probable that
Wade said something about beat
ing Seago with one arm tied"
The calm county clerk no doubt
accepted, but with the provision
that he also tie his hand. They'll
have TO try again to settle the
one-armed championship Of South
Texas.
The local Skeeters are raring to
get at Donna. The upper Valleyites
are the state team champions. Gun
ners here want to test out their
ability against the best the state
has to offer. Arrangements are be-
ing sought for a shoot between the
two clubs.
