BOXING ACTIVITIES
ON LULL THIS WEEK

NEW YORK, April 29.-(R-
There's a lull in the cauliflower in
dustry this week.
Most of what activity there is
comes tonight. At Philadelphia,
Benny Bass, featherweight, returns
to the ring after a months lay-off
to tangle in a 10-round match with
Johnny Farr, of Cleveland.
Perhaps the best bout of the week
will fall to Detroit fans. Ray Miller
who cuts 'em down with a left hook,
meets Billy Petrolle. Fargo Express,
in a bout set for 10 rounds We'd
nesday night. Miller's stock as the
leading lightweight contender took
something of a drop when he was
beaten on points by welterweight
Jimmy McLarnin some time ago. He
may get back into winning form
against Petrolle.

Going Over Big
In Windy City

CHICAGO, April 29.-tP-Two of
the most promising fighters the
Southwest has turned out in recent
years are running up a string Of
victories in Chicago rings.
Clyde Chaetain. sensational
puncher from Dallas, who scales
lat pounds, and Tony Herrera Of
Fort Worth, a 130-pounder, have
made impressive showings.
Chastain won his last two fights
in decisive manner and If he con-
tinues to battle as he has in the
past he will make trouble for the
boys in the w~elterweight division.
He stopped Jack Horner of st.
Louis in five rounds and later
handed out a severe lacing to
Bobby Travey of Buffalo.
Herrera leaped into the lime
light when he beat Armando San
tiago, a terrific puncher from Cuba.
He displayed one of the fastest lefts
seen here in years. Eddie Memo of
st. Paul was his next victim, a
knockout in the fourth round.

Bambino Gets Second
FourBaseHitas Xanks
Defeat Senator to 2
BY WILLIAM j. CHTPMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

In between cloudbursts and show
erS through the eastern theater Of
major league war, pennant contend
ers stepped to the plate yesterday,
won a moral victory over the wealth
er, and swan for their lives. One
game was delayed, another was cut
short, and the second portion of a
doubleheader at the polo grounds
was washed away, but the rain
checks were rendered null and void
in every park.
Fighting in the western sector saw
the st. Louis Browns continue their
mad pace as two National league
favorites fell before so-called un-
der-dogs. The Cincinnati Reds left
the Cubs Keeling under a II to Il
blow at Redland field, but found
themselves severely battered Dy
Bruin Bats before it vas called a
day.
Jess Petty pitched his first win
ming game of the year on turning
back the Cardinals by s to 2 with
only four safe hits. The Pirates
themselves had their troubles with
Old Pete Alexander, and made the
game safe only by a three-run as
sault against Sylvester Johnson ir
the ninth after Alex had given way
to a pine hbatsman.
Giants Beat PhiIlies
About $4,000 fans were enticed tc
the Polo Grounds by word that the
Giants would trample the Phillies
twice in the same afternoon. After
Fred FitZsimmons had toyed with
the Shotton troops to win the open
er by 8 to 2, rain fell in such a bust
ness-like way that Giant officials
were forced to send their customers
home short changed.
The rain which drenched Flat
bush and Environs gave the Robins
a chance to prove themselves as
adept at losing in six innings as
they were known to be in nine. The
Braves accepted this decision by 5 to
2 and remained at the top of the
leculiar standing of the national
league clubs.
Babe Ruth's second home run and
Waite Hoyt's effective pitching
pulled the Yankees through by 7
to 2 at Washington after the rain
held up. The contest was delayed
for more than an hour. Hoyt took
his third victory of the season.
Boston fans to the number of
$4,000 finally had a chance to see
a major league championship con-
test on the Sabbath, but the Ath-
@1Atics. out of sympathy with thu
spirit OF the occasion, romped back
to Philadelphia with an edge of
z to 8.
The s to 3 victory Of the Browns
at Detroit, coupled with the success
of the Athletics, left these two con-
tenders in a tie for top honors in
the younger major circuit, each with
a mark of .667.
The White Sox shaded the In.
dams by 2 to / at Chicago in the re.
naming American league skirmish.

Shreveport, admittedly feared by
every manager in the league, climb
ed into a tie with Houston for Sec
Dnd place, three games behind the
leading Waco Cubs, by trimming
tort Worth, 3 to 2, and 7 to 6, in
two heated struggles in the Louis
lana city. The Spudders, behind
steady pitching, downed the Steers.
4 to /, and l to o, in their double
setto at Wichita Falls. The twin
killing left Galloway's sluggers
knocking at the door of the first di-
vision.
Waco's spectacular winning streaA
finally was snapped when the Beau
mont exporters bombarded three
pitchers, including Virgil Cheeves,
Efor a II to Il victory in the first
i game of their double bill at Waco.
Eight homers enlivened the conflict.
BThe Cubs salvaged a 5 to 4 deci-
|]sion in the second tilt to forestall
ANY gossip that they have shot both
barrels and are ready to quit play
ing rough.
Indians Divide
Pat Newnam's San Antonio In
dams proved something or other to
the homefolks by dividing their bar
gain bill with the Houston Bluffs,
driving Jim Lindsey ffem the mound
Win the first, 8 to 2, and then
4 falling victim to foreman'S slants
to drop the second, 8 to 1.
Subway Andy Messenger, who won
the first game, apparently is the
/ only member of the Indians staff
| capable of holding his own. Welt
/ eel, Indian gardener, continues to
swat the sphere at a lively clip,
despite the lethargy Of his mates.
Summed up, events Of the week
end would indicate two things
namely, that Jakey Atz will have

if he pushes his Fort Worth Cats
1 I'D into the first division this sea-
/ son, and that the veteran pitching

1t has been suggested that had
the Brownsville Eagle team been in
the class A circuit of the Texas In
terscholastic football race last fall
she would have been state cham
pions.
True enough, the Eagles had a
wonderful team last fall for a class
B organization and it is also true
that they could have whipped some
of the class A clubs, but to say that
they could have been state cham
pions seems just a bit enthusiastic.
Although Abilene won the state
title last fall, she did not have the
combination that the same school
boasted of the season before when
they dropped the final contest to
the Waco High Tigers. In 1927
Abilene had a powerful high school
eleven. Waco had a powerful club.
The two went to the finals you re-
member and the day they met to
decide the question, thirty thou
sand fans gathered to see one Of
the greatest high contests the
Lone Star state has ever known.
That thirty thousand saw Waco
take a lead, then they saw the West
erners come and cut that lead and
add a few of their own points to it.
They saw the midgekt quarterback
of the Eagles known as Esco Wal
ters, passes and run his team like a
veteran. That same thirty thousand
stood on needle points until the last
gun was fired after which the Waco
/ Tigers were declared state cham
} pions by a close call.
. =
It was a disappointed and de-
terlnined bunch of boys who re-
turned to the west Texas city that
night. They made up their minds
then that they would give some
one a run for their money the
next fall.
1928 did roll around and when
it closed the Eagles were cham
pions.
If Brownsville'S team last fall was
the best team in the state she could
have been champion. But the writer
fails to see that Brownsville had
that strong a team. though we are
not irving to belittle the Eagles one
bit. They had a wonderful team so
far as they went and they gained
the respect of the entire nation
when they whipoed everything in
the Vallev and then beat what the
Windy City sent down.
You never can tell just what a
football team can do until after
they have done it. Now that the
Eagles are admitted into class A
playing. next year we will have a
chance to see how thew are going to
stand the running with the stronger
state teams.
It's our prediction right now that
the state championship of 1929 lies
between three teams. They r AM
arillo High. Abilene High and the
Waco Tigers.

Arithmetic Team
Wins New Cup For
Mercedes School
Especial to The Herald

1RS0@@ ~
MERCEDES, April ga new
cup now rests in the trophy cas-
in the senior high school. This
cup was won by Mercedes Junior
arithmetic team at a contest held
in Pharr-San Juan early in April.
The first contest was held as
scheduled the last of March at Mis-
sion, where the county meet was
held, but due to a mistake Of the
interscholastic league department
of Austin, the wrong testsheets had
been sent to Mercedes for practice.
This error was discovered after the
Mercedes team had won with a
score of IA points above their near
est competitors, but were ruled out
of the contest. A new contest was
arranged so that all Hidalgo county
teams were eligible to compete.
The interscholastic league de-
partment corrected their mistake by
issuing a new test sheet. Merceoes
came out with a score Of A, max
ing them 81 points above their
nearest competitor.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

A NDY was in cheerful frame
IN of mind when he drove out to
the WILDER home that afternoon. He
had delivered his WILDER Electric
Company stock to Mention, had re-
ceived a receipt for it, signed a note
payable after ninety days and had
departed with $1,000 in cash.
He had made momentary peace
with his brokers and possessed
enough ready money to carry on
for several weeks at least. I'm
trained in business and possessing
little knowledge of values, he did
not realize that he had given as
security to Mention stock worth at
least ten times the sum he had
received as a loan.
He had signed the stock certiff-
Gates in blank, making them readily
transferable on the companys books.
He was glowing with gratitude to-
ward Mention and was resolved, de-
spite occasional twingeS of con-
science, to carry through his COM
pact to assist in the blackmal of
his uncle.
In the soaring of his spirits he
was inclined to feel bit sorry for
the "old man." but WILDER had
plenty of money and the loss of a
slice of it wouldn't cripple him. A
fellow had to look after his own
interests In this world. E. His
thoughts drifted to Sheila.
What a queer, almost unbelievable
storyI And what hole WILDER was

Sheila was a good sort, though
inclined to be "uppity" Well, she
wouldn't be so "uppity" when all
this came out about her. And to
think he had a good claim to all OF
Uncle Bills money. The idea was
almost enough to take ones breath!
Oh, he'd be fair to Sheila, he'd see
that she got a good share when the
blow-of came. That little red book,
now. He wished he had made
Homer let him look at it. He'd
been too excited to think Of it at the
time.
How did It get into Homer's
hands? That's the trouble with
Homer, he never tells you all OF
anything. He always keeps Sos1e-
thing up his sleeve.
Oh, well, why worry about that,
there were other things more pleas
ant to think about. Mercy, for in
stance, or Edna Edna . he'd
rather neglected Edna lately. That
wouldn't do now.
Now, II he married Edna there
would be her money, and if Rapa-
hama stock went up again he'd get
most of his own back and then this
wad he and Mention would squeeze
out of Uncle Bill, to say nothing OF
what he had a chance Of getting
when INK diedl
He could marry Edna and still be
good friends with Mercy. 1t was
going to be pretty good old world
after ALL
