HIGH School Admitted to Glass (
EACLESAFTER
STATE TITLE
"a Rating Means Lot To
Local High School; Coach
Is Well Pleased

Brownsville high school will
compete in Class A football COM
petition next grid season. This as
surance came in a letter to Dean
S. A. Caldwell, from Roy B. Hen
derson, athletic director, inter-
scholastic league, at Austin.
The new Class A loop will prob
ably be composed Of Brownsville
Robstown, Corpus Christi, Laredo,
Austin and Main Avenue, Brack-
enridge, Alamo Heights and Har-
landale high schools of San An
tonic.
Discussion Of the entrance Of the
local school into Glass A was start
ed soon after the close Of the last
football season, MI. Henderson as
sured Coach Fessenden of the
Eagles, who paid the director a
visit that he would look into the
matter at once. He did, and the
local gridders will have a chance at
the state title next season.
The great record made by the
Eagles last season set in motion, at
that time, propaganda for a game
between the state winners, Abb
lene, and the locals. Of course,
Abilene would have had nothing to
gain by playing Brownsville, and
Coach Mayhem knew it. The game
wasn't played.
After winning the Valley title
the Eagles took on a strong squad
from Chicago, DePaul Academy,
and won handily over them. So to
O. The impressive thing about the
local team was its smooth play,
and the fact that only two points
were scored against them during
the 1923 season.
Coach FeSSenden is we'll pleased
with the entrance of his charges
to Glass A, as is Director Red
Irvine.
Whether or not the Eagles will
compete in any games with VAL
ley high schools, is not known.
However, it is known that match
games with teams down here may
be played. But a heavy Glass A
schedules as the locals will have,
undoubtedly will curtail many VAL
ley games.
Mr.. Henderson's letter to Mr..
Caldwell follows:
This will acknowledge receipt Of
your letter Of February Is in which
you state that Brownsville wishes
to compete in Conference A foot
bail in 1929.
I'VE are making note Of this re-
quest and shall see to it that
Brownsville is listed in Conference
A. You may be interested in
knowing that Robstown has elected
to enter competition with the larg-
er schools"

DALLAS, Tex, April 3.-(P)-Re-
bellion among the White Sox play
ers was at an end today with Rus
sell Blackburne, manager Of the
club, in the role Of dictator.
Blackburne, backed by Charles
A. Comiskey, owner Of the club,

VOTERS, home to remain at his own
expense until he gets into condi-
ton to play baseball. Bill Cissell.

stated.
Blackburne's action in suspending
the pair, and then following it up
by ordering Shires, a promising
first baSeman, to leave camp, seems
to have produced a silencing eff
feet on certain players who have
grumbled over the inconvenience
Of playing exhibition games in
small Texas towns.
The SoX manager, invoking stern
measures to insure discipline and
smash the wave Of dissatisfaction
gaining impetus in the Sox ranks,
dismissed Shires after a long dis
lance telephone conversation with
Comiskey, the "Old Roman" in
Chicago.
Shires, rated as n of the best
prospects coming to the American

Just 10 years ago Babe Ruth,
weighing somewhere around 200
pounds in his %flannels,' was crowned
home run king, for the first time.
Ty Cobb was batting king of the
American league for the twelfth and
last time. Eddie Collins, fleet king
of the second basemen, also led the
base pilfererS.
The American league was easily
furnishing the more spectacular of
major league performances. Rogers
Hornsby, not long out Of the fresh
man class, was moving up, challeng-
ing Eddie Roush for the batting
crown of the National league, but
his average of 1913 was considered
no special cause for alarm.
Look over the five leading bats
men of the two leagues for 1919:

George Sisler, St, Louis .........352
Joe Jackson, Chicago ...........351

Five years more and two Of our
heroes are still going strong, or at
least, there is every expectation
they will be for 1929. Hornsby, the
lean and hard-bitten" Texan, after
leading t Nbatsmen for the seventh
time in a 1928 comeback, now is a

are distributed through SO sales
branches in three countries and IT'S
agencies in foreign countries.
The business was founded on
clearly defined principles, one of
which is that the growth of an or
ganization is dependent upon the
training of men. When the founder
died he left as legacy to his son,
a desire to train men. From early
manhood, the son has devoted time
and energy to this ambition.
Mr.. Heinz had not left Yale, from
which he was graduated in 1000,
when he formed specific plans along
these lines. He first founded the
Covode House, for settlement work
in Pittsburgh, and then added to the
facilities for this work, the Sarah
Heinz House, where 1000 boys and
girls are in training. Both houses
ore dedicated to youth, recreation,
character and service"
With equal enthusiasm, he devotes
time to institutions of higher learn
ing. He is ON the boards OF the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology, and the Shady
Side Academy, preparatory school,
and is a member of the Fine Arts
committee of the Carnegie Museum.
He established fund at Yale from
which students may borrow money
to complete their courses.
"There is crying need for more
trained men," Mr.. Heinz saws, and

ing the word impossible from our
vocabularies. Lindbergh is an exatn-
pie of preparedness and training.
He schooled himself in flying, with
all its difficult technicalities and
problems, before he started across
the Atlantic, and with that knowl-
edge took another impossible from
our thoughts. 1t is the same in every
line of endeavor. Many men appar-
emily spring into prominence over
night. People. utter exclamations
about luck, but often do not stop to
think of the training and work back
of the achievement"
MIR. Heinz declares that heart
power is greater than horsepower.
In the management and development
of men, the leader must reach the
heart as well as the mind. He has
found that the unhappy worker is
never interee'~ | in his job and can
not succeed Therefore, his first
thought is to lake man happy.

Shelbyville (Tenn.) Gazette, chose
something unusual in greeting
cards this year.
"Thirty years ago we remember
when hens were So a dozen; roos-
ters ten cents apiece; eggs were
three dozen for quarter; butter
ten cents a pound; milk five cents
a quart; the butcher gave away

to be distinguished in any quarter OF
the globe-an English country gentle
man lie was tall and handsome, and
young enough not to have outlived
enthusiasm, for he was looking out
upon the gay scene with keen interest.
His features were we'll cut, his eyes
were blue, and his bronze face was
smooth, save for slight, well-formed
moustache. He wore a brown tweed
goat and waistcoat, flannel trousers. a
straw hat tilted over his eyes, and he
was smoking a briar pipe.
His companion was OF different
type. He was of medium height only,
and thin; his complexion was sallow,
and his eyes and hair were black.
His features, though rot altogether
pleasing, were regular, and almost
classical in outline. His clothes dis
played him to the worst possible
advantage. He wore black trousers
and dark frock coat, tightly fitting,
which accumulated the narrownesS OF
his shoulders. The only relief to the
sombreness of his attire consisted in a
white flower carefully fastened in his
buttonhole.
They were only acquaintances, these
two men; chance had brought them
together for some evil purpose of her
own. They had become for while
companions, albeit silent ones.
The Englishman was in far too good
a humor with himself, the place, and
his surroundings, to hold his peace
, for long. He exchanged his pipe for
Havana, and commenced to talk.
"It's very stupid of me, but, do you
know, I've quite forgotten your name
for the moment. l remember my
cousin, Cis Davenport, introducing us
at Rome, and knew you again
directly | saw you. But I'm hanged
if l can think of your name! |
always had a precious bad memory"
The Sicilian looked none too well
pleased at the implied request.
Il do not object to telling you my
name," he said in low tone, sunk
almost to a whisper, "but you will
pardon me if | make a request which
may appear somewhat singular to you.
I do not wish you to address me by
it here, or to mention it.. To be frank,
there are reasons for wishing my
presence in this neighborhood not to
be known. You are gentleman, and
you will understand"
ooh, perfectly" the Englishman
answered him, in a tone Of blank
bewilderment.
"My name is Leonardo di Marioni p
! "By Jove! of course it isl" the
Englishman exclaimed. 81 should
have thought of it in a moment"
"You will not forget my request,
and if you have occasion to address
me, perhaps you will be so good as
to do so by the name of 'Cortegi.'
1t is the name by which I am known
here, and to which have some right" /"
The Englishman nodded.
"All right. I'll remember. By the
bye" he went on, II had the pleasure
of meeting your sister in Naples, I
believe She is engaged to marry
Martin Briscoe, isn't she?"
The Sicilian's face darkened into a
scow1; the thin lips were tightly COM
pressed, and his eyes flashed with
angry light.
| II was not aware of it." he
answered haughtily.
There was a brief 1ul1 in the stream
of promenaders.
The Erg1ishman looked into the eyes
of the most beautiful woman he had
ever seen. A food of silver moonlight
lay upon the Marina, glancing away
