LEAGUE OF NATIONS
FIGHT PLAN OFFERED

BERLIN. April 2.-(P)-No pugil-
ist should be acclaimed world cham
pion unless he has first become
champion in his own country, in the
opinion of Heinz Michaelis, veteran
German sports writer.
He believes the best interests Of
the boxing sport are not served if
financially powerful American man
ayers can determine what fighters
shall be matched against each other
to determine world championships.
There should be a system SINH
lar to that by which European
championships are determined"
Michaelis writes. Nobody can to-
day become European champion I'M
less he is champion in his own
country. Why should the world title
be awarded on q different basis?
only he who fulfills all his duties
toward his own country should be
entitled to earn world purses"
Michaels regrets that Max
Schmeling won't fight Ludwig Hay
mann. the Munich pugilist, for the
a11-G German title.

CADDIES STATUS
UPSETS BRITON

LONDON, April 4.-tP-The golf
caddy's job is ITO carry" proclaims
a dogmatic British eXpert-only to
be met by a shrill burst of indig-
nent protest from the golfing fan.
Does not q caddy take charge
Of our lives and control all our
thoughts and actions while we are
in his company" the champion
OF caddies demands, while admit
ting to a handicap Of two figures.
But the expert-a distinguished
writer on the royal and ancient
sport-merely drew down some an
tique volumes from his upper
shelves and cited venerable au-
thorities to show the caddy's hum
BILE and limited function.
From The Art Of Golf" he
quoted this convincing dictum:
"Caddies are persons employed to
carry golfers clubs" Other musty
tones were made to depose corro-
borative testimony, but the rapid
rabbit" was not to be overthrown
by the august voice Of tradition.
1T is the caddy who comforts
us in time of sorrow, encourages us
in moments of doubt, and inspires
US to added effort which brings
rare tastes Of success" cried the
supporter Of the caddy.
1T is he who with majestic grav-
ity and indisputable authority
hands us the clubs he thinks most
fitted to our meager power, as
though it we're not a rude mattock
but indeed a royal scepter."
The rabbit" almost CRASHED his
teeth with rage at the indignity
placed upon the offices Of his
friend and critic. Who is it, he
wanted to know, who tells him
when to loft" and when to run
her up?" Who rebukes him for
raising his head, and for a wander
ing elbow?
Does he not with most subtle
but delicious flattery coax us to
believe that if we only had time
to play oftener we should reach
the dignity Of a single-figure han
dicap?" he added with unrabbit-
like spirit.
Does such q man do nothing
but carry for US? OF course he
does infinitely more. He 'caddies'
for us, bless himi"

Cuban Team Aspires
To Avenge Defeat In
Miami Tennis Nee

HAVANA. April 2-(P-Cuba's
mixed tennis team, smarting under
the lash of defeat recently meted
it in Miami. hope to turn the tables
on the Floridians in the return
match scheduled here in April.
Alibis are plentiful in most OF
the recent articles on the Cuba
Florida matches. 1t is pointed out
that Cuba's team in Florida was
limited to eight players, that Vicente
Banet and Rogelio Paris. local aces
were not there to strengthen the
team, and that the pert Lila Ca
macho, the Cuban girl wonder, was
off in Mexico %cavorting with tennis
royalty.
The conclusion is that Cuba sent
an inferior team to Florida which
very properly vas licked.
Better things are expected in Ha-
vana. The Florida team, Boosting
II racquet wielders in Miami, will
be limited to eight. and the home
soil Examination of the Miami
score sheet shows that the team led
by Gustavo Vollmer won three of Its
six match sets with the Floridians
while the girl team had only Elena
DAYS victory in the mixed doubles
to their credit.

summer that the Cardinals pro-
NOTED him to their club, got his
start at an Arkansas college,
Ouachita, under Morley Jennings,
then coach there, and at present

A dispatch from the University
of Texas contains this interesting
information in regard to post-sea-
son football games:
In spite Of the recent decision of
the Southwest Athletic Conference
to allow its members to play post
season football games, the Univer-
slty OF Texas will not participate in
football games after THANKSGIVING
Day each year, according to a reso-
luton passed by the general faculty
Of the school at its last meeting.
THE conference ruling was passed
as a step toward breaking the GUS
tom of calling football players to-
gether ten days before school opens
in order to get in preseason prac-
tlce, according to DR.. D. A. Penick,
president of the conference. The
University of Texas, however, Is OBJ
posed to playing any games after its
traditional tilt with Texas A. & M,
on Thanksgiving Day, DR.. R. A.
Law, chairman Of the athletic coun-
Gil, said.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-04-04

Remember Heine Zim's famous
stunt of chasing Eddie Collins over
the plate in a worlds series game?
He was ridiculed as a numbskull
on that play because of the promi-
nence of the game, although the
same mistake is still pulled a dozen
times in a year without any special
mention.
I came across a quaint variety of
this play when touring around with
the Topeka club last summer. 1t
was a brand new variation of this
particular boner.
Here Is the way it went. The
home team had runner on third and
second with one out and were anX-
ious to get that run over the plate.
So anxious in fact that the fellow
on third strayed so far off the bag
that he was Don caught in a rUrtp
by a snap throw by the pitcher.
AS they chased him up and down
the line the runner on second moved
over to third. Finally the catcher
took it on himself to personally
chase down the trapped player. All
the while the fellow who had moved
up stood on third, apparently re-
signed to one sure out.
just like the Zimmerman case,
the catcher underestimated his
speed. The runner not only got
back to third. but kept on out to
left field with the catcher in full
chase.
Then the fellow who had come I'D
from second beat it for the plate.
And made it, too. The catcher
chased the first man out past the
left field to make a perfectly USE
less out.
It as an open and shut case of
several kinds of stupidity and as
funny a situation as will cone up
during the course of the season.

TITLE FIRST TIME

PINEHURST, N. c., April 4
P)-For the first time since they
have been playing the historic
North and South Women's tour
nament, a southern woman is
within striking distance OF the
championship.
The hopes Of the South today
rested upon the shoulders Of
Miss Marion Turpie, from New
Orleans.
Miss Turpie's task in the semi
finals was to give the dope bucket
a sufficiently powerful kick to
bowl it over the mighty Glenna
Collect.
BY beating Miss Helen Hicks,
sensation of the Florida tourna-
ments, 3 and 2, in the quarter
finals yesterday, the New Orleans
girl won her way into the titles
ante-room to find her path
blocked by the national champ
ion. Miss Collett moved up by
triumphing over Miss Maureen
Orcutt, the New Jersey star, 3
and 2.

CUBA SEEKS

HAVANA, April 3.-P)-Pepe
B~arrientos, Cuba's "one man track
team" of the Amsterdam Olynlpics
literally has taken the air, and Cuba
will have to look elsewhere for a
sprinter in the Central American
Olympic contests scheduled here in
February. 1880.
With the announcement Of Bar
rientos' enrolment in the military
air school at Camp Columbia, Off
Gals of the Olympics meet FASTENED
plans for an amateurs athletic car
nival in hope of discovering more
Cuban talent.
One hopeful entry in the coming
international meet is seen in Fer
nando Novarro's return to the Gin
der oval. Navarro is a veteran
distance man, one time high rater
in Havana, and according to critics
he shows a fair chance of getting
back his old form, a menace to any
known Central American distance
runner.

Abilene Christians Meet
Frogs Saturday In First
= Dual Tilt

A0RT WORTH, April 4.-The
first dual track meet for Texas
Christian University will be held
here Saturday when Abilene Chris
tan will put its cinder stars against
Harve Lights purple sprinters. The
west Texas team has shown its
power in several meets this spring
and is expected to give the Purple
more than ordinary competition.
The Abilene squad, which tied
Oklahoma A. and M. in the South
western Exposition meet several
weeks ago, is strong in every de-
partment, and indications are that
the Frogs will be pushed to land
a single first place. In Cy Leland,
dash star, Light is almost sure of
the 100-yard and 220-yard although
a Christian Splinter captured the
go from him in the Stock Show
meet.
Cy, who ran second in the S.
M. U. relays and third in the Texas
relays, bettered the worlds mark
for the century when he finished
only a step behind Bracey. Rice
star. Bracey clicked 9.4 in the
Mustang games and, according to
observers, it was impossible to
clock Leland even a fraction of a
second behind him. Cy also placed
in the 220 against the best sprinters
in Texas and is almost certain to
capture the two washes here Sat-
urday. He Is also showing con-
slant improvement, and with fur
Their coaching will probably make
better time.
Leland appears slow in leaving to
start and takes several steps before
starting his fast time. Coach Light
expects to have the Purple flash
getting away with the best of them
in a few days, and it is estimated
that Cy will gain several steps by
better starting.
