One jOkeSnith Oh the golf COM
mittee expressed il rs follows:
Our handicap Is the lack of
handicaps."
The Skeet clubs are breezing
along In fine style and some hot
competition IS likely to develop in
the Valley. Edinburg is the latest
town 10 contemplate installing a
range. John Rutledge is seeking to
establish o club in that city.
Ranges also are contemplated for
Boca Chlca and H7rlingcn. Skeat-
er5 ha-e are locking forward to the
time when shoots can be arranged
between Brownsville. Point Isabel.
Donna, Corpus Christi and other
cities.
Gov. Dams rap on the wrists
hasn't taken In the Valley or in
a Antonio. BcIls still are be-
ing held in the army posts in the
latter city. Monday night Kid
Monterrey and Johnny Cruz win
meet in Rio Rico. These bows
put NJ \ great sqagbble in
Brownsville recently. Cruz II the
clever boxer-MOnterrey the az
gressive slugger. Cruz is clever
but not the bicycling kind. He'll
stay up there and pitch with
Monterrey when II comes 10 a
showdown. Cruz beat Monterrey
20 the decision here but ii was A
great fight and the customers will
welcome another of its type.
The great Hall-Seago thriller
ldon't confuse this with the Halls
Mills affair has been brought to an
abrupt halt by the departure of n.
~. Seago, county clerk, for Fieldon
his, on a vacation. NJ. r. Hall.
county attorney. although self-ad-
mitbedly not the best golfer in the
county, made some rather brash
statements as to the merits Of his
game as compared TO that of Sea
gcs. The county clerk heard ~
these chip on the shoulder re-
marks just before departing. He
was Tor staying and settling the
matter. but preparations for the
trip already had been made. Don't
think I'm running away" he ex-
poStulated. "Whue I'm no Walter
Hagen. I'm firmly convince / car
mold my own with Hizzoner. I'll
take him on when I get back" Sea-
go said.
The heavyweight title situation
- IN a bad shape. The only
bright light shining over the
horizon IS Max SchmeIing. The
Ieuton is a ~coIorfuI performer
the kind of fighter the mob ad-
mires- He Is hailed as n second
dempsey and demonstrated he
a q Wallop by ~flattening John
nv Risko. Cleveland's doughty
baker boy. The German has re-
vived promoters hopes for a
comeback OF the million dollar
house. Dempsey was the boy
who placed pugiIism in the
realms Of high finance. Promot-
ers are still sitting up nights try
Ing to figure some way OF work
ing the ageing. not to say de-
crepit. Manassas MauIer back
into the ring in what might ap-
pear TO be a fight.
Outside Of SchmelinE. the field is
nothing to make the fans tear up
grass in delieht. Tommy LouEhran
probably could smack over the gen
eral run Of the "contenders" with
out exertinE himself overly. If
Schmeling flops. even duller DAYS
are ahead for the fans.
The M blot on SchmeIing's
record is his knockout by Gypsv
Daniels. But then there was
Dempsey's defeat by Jim FIynn.
Jack later described this bout as
a Barney" ring parlance for a
olive" or translated into pure
English. q fake. Pauline, Schmel-
inE's opponent July 81 in the an
nual milk fund bout. Ia little
more than a good sock absorber.
