Strange Contrasts
Develop At Relays
Between Old, Young

PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-F1-
The Pennsylvania relay carnival
closing it's dizzy whirl Of competi-
ton today for some 5000 athletes,
has developed one Of the strangest
of contrasts involving youth and
age.
Youth usually holds complete
sway in this meet, but this year a
|middle-aged foot-racer shares the
spotlight with a brawny youth des-
tined perhaps to be one of Americas
greatest all-around performers.
Paavo Nurmi, now around 50, Is
only a shadow Of the peerless Paavo
of 1924-25. Barney Berlinger, just
come of voting age, has the brawny
ability to break records all day long
Nurmi broke the American OUT
door two-mile record, but his time Of
9:15 rs, clipping two and two-flfths
| seconds from the 17-year-old marS
of a Cornell collegian, Tel Berna,
wa snot so startling when it IS real.

his form in 1925, raced this dis

Expect Victorian
To Be Among Top
Notchers In Fall

NEW YORK, April 27.-P-vic-
torian, leading 3-year-old money
winner last year, may not equal his
1928 record when he put $126,7 $50
into the purse of Harry Payne Whit
ney, but he promises to be up among
the top-notchers when the bugle
blows the last call to the post in
the fall.
But this year it will not be H. P.
Whitney who profits by the win
nings Of the famous ~whiskbroom colt
for Victorian now carries the silks
of the warm stable of Silas Mason
Of Lexington, KY. Victorian races
for the warm stable he still is being
trained by Jimmy Rowe, Jr.
Rowe brought the 4-year-old
through the winter in splendid con-
dition and sent hi mout to win his
first race-the Shenandoah purse at
Havre de Grace. Meeting the well
advertised Toro at even weights and
given plenty of baggage to display,
Balko Sunfire and Sortie, all max
ing their seasonal debuts, Victorian
made a great show Of the field to
win.
Victorian Is being pointed for the
Dixie handicap to be run at Pin
leo next Monday.

equally able to win by brute
strength as they outslugged the
Pirates by 9 to 6. The belated Ma
tional league opening at st. Louis
saw the Cardinals subject the Reds
to torture by 8 to 2.
News that Gabby Hartnett soon
may return to his post behind the
bat cheered supporters of the Cubs
more than the victory itself. Gabby
now is tossing 'em in practice after
a long layoff.
The Robins rounded out the Ma
tional league program by shading
the Phillies, 7 to 6, in a merry
melee at Ebbets Field. Louis Kou-
pal again saved the Robins, after
Doug McWeeny and Ray Moss had
faltered.
Old Jack Quinn, in his second
start of the season against the
Yankees, obtained revenge for the
game the Hugmen snatched from
his grasp in the Bronx last week.
His opponent was Herb Pennock,
ailing Yankee left handler who
gave his arm a try-out after a rest
dating back to last August IL. The
AS won by 5 to 2 after running up
a lead of 4 to l against Pennock.
The victory put the Macks back
into first place, fourteen points
ahead of the Browns, with whom
they were tied before the games of
yesterday. The Athletics gained an
edge because of having lost fewer
than the st. Louis team, which on
games alone is half a game ahead.
At Chicago yesterday the Browns
assaulted old Red Faber for five
runs in the eighth to win by 7 to 3.
Coffman and Crowder divided the
st. Louis pitching.
Cleveland defeated Detroit by II
to 5 and the Red Sox shaded the
Senators by 2 to 1 in remaining
American league games.

Rates On Freight
Especial to The Herald.)


SAN BENITO, April 81. - A
meeting of Valley growers and
chamber of commerce secretaries
to discuss Valley freight rates and
the proposed removal OF the differ
entail on Valley shipments has
been called for Monday night by j
E. Bell, secretary Of the San Benito
Chamber of Commerce. The meet
ing will be held at the chamber
Of commerce here at 8 p. m, it has

Eighteen thousand dollars for this
purpose have already been raised

The quota for the district comcrs-
ing the Valley is two thousand
dollars. and the raising of this
amount will be taken up at the
meeting Monday.

CPORTS
OFORUM

No section of the state, perhaps
goes in for boxing like the Valley.
For the man who loves the fight
game, the Valley offers a card OF
some 80 rounds every Monday
night. In the main, customers
leave the arena pleased with the
shows which are being offered at
Mercedes, Donna and here at
Brownsville.
The two AIS, Prince and Robin
son up at Mercedes have given us
some nice shows, notably the
RuiZ-Shaw scrap. So has Tex
Becerril, local promoter. His card
last Monday night was the best
we have seen during our eight
week sojourn in the Valley-and
the poorest attended.
Carlos Garcia, who won in that
fight, is the best fighter we have
glimpsed during those eight weeks
and the man he beat, Apara, a
game Filipino, is the next best.
Apara could beat Garcia if the lat
ter were not clever as well as two
listed. It's the waiting tactics he
uses, with the sudden dash at the
slightest opening that makes his
fighting a genuine pleasure to
watch. One hears him hit three
solid Smacks, distinctly, but that
lightning left is so fast that one
sees only two Of the blows.
Kid Monterrey, a good little
man, says he'll knock Kid
Guerra'S block off just for the
pleasure anytime and anywhere.
Now then, let's all go into a hud-
die and after counting three,
have a big hearty laugh.
Monterrey says he would make a
hen out of the San Benito rooster,
but bordering the situation, we
can't help but arrive at the follow
ing conclusion, to wit: the hand
some San Benito lad would flog
him to death in short order.
Stories from Mercedes have been
giving Guerra the bold for not
fighting Sada in a preliminary
there Monday. Guerra wants to
fight G main event. Because he
lives in the Valley he has not been
given this chance. It's true that
he has fought only within a So
mile radius of San Benito and he
hasn't pinned the kayo on any,
body, but he's been winning reg
uiarly and he loves to fight and
does.
He never quits trying to put his
man on the canvas and he's far
better than a lot of finalists we've
seen; Why not give the boy a
break? Instead of the pan.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson a. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Consider-
ing the extensive declines during
the past week, the latest loan total
comes as an unpleasant surprise
and in a measure verifieS the gen.
eral impression that stocks have
been passing from strong to weak
hands. Perhaps equally discon-
certing Is the belief that the loan
report due this afternoon will also
emphasize the fact that stocks haze
been coming out Of strong boxes in
quantities and finding their way
into marginal accounts. Manage
ments of leading investment trusts
have been quoted recently as indi-
eating that substantially more than
SO per cent of their assets are now
in cash, further verifying the fact
that recent selling has probably
been much more influential than
the buying. Judging the situation
from all angles we can find nothing
that Is particularly inspiring for the
constructive side OF the picture, and
until we get decidedly more en-
couragement from both credit and
trade conditions, 1t appears the best
policy to continue using such
technical rallies as may occur to
further reduce long commitments.

WHEAT IS FIRM
AT OPENING ON
CHICAGO BOARD
Corn and Oats Are Shade
Higher; Irregular at
Liverpool
BY WILLIAM M'KENNA
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Liverpool'S
irregular wheat market did not pre-
vent a firm opening on the Chicago
Board of Trade today, as action
abroad had become better as the
session progressed, the support of
London firms tending to offset the
effect of larger Danubian shipments.
Corn and oats we're a shade higher
at Chicago.
At the opening, wheat was I'M
changed to one-quarter cent higher,
corn was unchanged to one-eighth
up and oats were unchanged to one
eighth higher. Provisions were I'M
changed.
Short interest in wheat has been
reduced considerably on recent ad-
vances, but the expectation of an
enlarged export demand from Eu-
rope when Argentine shipments de-
cline is keeping the trading senti-
ment fairly bright. Cash wheat mar
kets are showing decidedly better
tone. No. 2 red now is selling at the
strongest basis on the crop.
Light stocks of corn at terminal
markets and reduced country offer
ing has created more friendly feel
ing for the buying side of the flu
lures, but there still is, plenty of
selling on the bulges. The crop is
made in most sections.
Chicago operators have been SELL
ing oats, with commission houses
taking their offerings. Prices have
held with narrow limits in recent
sessions. Shipping sales Wednesday
were $4,000 bushels.
