Shaw missed many a WALTON at

BROWNS BANK
ON NEWCOMER;
RIP Is BACK
BY BRIAN BELL
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer)

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
March ~5.-(P)-Manager Dan How
ley of the st. Louis Browns believes
that what has been done in base
ball can be done again. Last sea
son he tossed two untried young
sters into his infield and they made
good. Now he is considering re-
peating the experiment with an
other lad.
Eddie Grimes is the boy who may
be given the acid test on his first
trial. He is a third baseman and
batted 1874 for Tulsa in the West
ern league last year. If he gets
the assignment for the Browns.
Frank O,Rourke, one Of baseball's
energetic performers, will move
over to second base, temporarily
forming Otis Brannon to the
bench. Grimes has shown that he
al field. If he can hit he is in.
The infield will be completed by
Lu Blue at first base and Ralph
Kress at shortstop. Kress was
good last season and will be better
CnlS year, says HOWley.
Browns Confident
The Browns, who finished third
in the last campaign, r conf
dent that they can do better. They
base their optimistic predictions on
increased reserve strength, addi-
tons to the pitching staff and a
never say die spirit.
At this time last year the Browns
had only two outfielders for Ear-
nv ManuSh who was later t. fall
only one point shy of the league
batting leadership, was injured.
Now Manush, Schultz and Nc
Nicely are ready with Frank Nc
Gowan who finished in sensational
style with the club, threatening to
make a regular place for himself.
Morris Badgro, former University
of Southern California star, up
from Tulsa, probably will get his
major league experience at first
hand.
Wally Schang, still a great catch
err, and Clyde Manion, will tutor
young Dick Terrell as the fresh
man member Of the catching staff.
Farrell has much to learn but is
willing.

made the most Of it, landing at will.
The usual announcements from
the ring preceding the program,
was one in a telegram from Laredo
fans, wishing Shaw luck, and in
GLIDING a challenge from Jesse Sada
to fight the winner Of the Shaw
Pancho scrap.
Goodman X. Old.
Two of the cleanest fighters in
the Valley were scheduled to go
eight rounds, Homer (Kid) Good
man of Brownsville, and Jack Revis
of Mercedes; it didn't. Goodman
was counted out a minute after the
start Of the sixth round, when Jack
landed a straight ross to Good
mans head. Goodman had been
floored in the third and fifth rounds
taking the count Of nine each time.
ReviS' long reach, and his deadly
right were too much for the popu-
lar Brownsville boy. Goodman,
however, fought a good battle, a
pleasing one to his friends; he OPEN
ed up, and landed the tall Mercedes
boy some telling blows.
iowa has It's fdV0rItC
Looked like Shuttle Callaghan,
fighting last night, only it was
Floyd Bowers, Of Des Moines, Iowa.
And for his opponent he had Art
Garner of San Antonio. Bowers was
the heavier of the two, outweighing
the Santone lad by four pounds.
Their weights were $50 and 154.
Bowers landed an overland right to
Gamers jaw, and the fight was over
but the bell saved Garner from be-
ing counted out. This was the Sec
ond round. Garner couldn't leave
his corner for the third round, and
Floyd was declared winner. Garner
was floored twice in the first round
when Bowers began his windmill
action, with arms flying high and
low, he was all over Garner, never
letting up Of his own accord. But
the Santone scrapper stopped one of
these wild rusheS with a solid blow
to the head that stood him in good
stead in the first round.
The curtain raiser found Mareno
and Hernandez, San Antonio boys
Of the 118 pound class. 1t went the
limit OF six rounds, and was declar-
ed a draw. Hernandez, a left hand
er and Mareno who does things in
orthodox fashion, started off slow,
but soon warmed up, and from the
third round on, 1t was nip and tuck,
each trying to land a knockout blow.
Ray Talbert and Tom Conner,
were the referees, and did well.
Al Prince, announcer, stated from
the ring that Billy Podrazo, weight
AS pounds. would probably be seen
on the next card, two weeks hence.
His opponent has yet to be an
nounced.
The card, regarded by fans as
more or less skeptic, especially the
main event, proved to be the best
Al Robinson has put on in a long
time. Pancho was in better shape
than fans figured, and the arena
was crowded to capacity.

McAllen is ready to enter the lea
que. They will do % under the
auspices of the American Legion Of
that city; Mission is uncertain, there
doesn't seem to be anyone in that
city willing to organize his town.
Such citizens as Hollis Rankin, Mar
vim Goodwin, DR.. Burnett and
Judge Strickland, whom MI Wells
has seen, are heartily in favor OF
Missions entrance into the league,
Wells declares.

ROYAL CHILDREN
ATTRACT BRITONS
Princess Elizabeth and Two Sons
of Viscount Lascelles Ad.
mired by Nation.

LONDON P.-.England' royal grand
children are centers of attraction for
loyal Britons.
The curley-headed, blonde baby, Prin-
cess Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke
and Duchess of York, has been men,
toned frequently and at length in the
papers recently. The youngster was
the center Of group of handsome uni
formed admirers the other day at
Windsor Castle, where she was the guest
of her grandparents, the King and
Queen of England, while her parents
were In Scotland.
The young lady was taking ride in
the park when the Coldstream Guards,
Respondent in their scarlet dress coats,
marched into the quadrangle. The
band and the brilliant uniforms took
the princess eye, and she began to
wave her hand, keeping time to the
music. Soon she had an admiring
group about her, and she kept them
busy with requests for more music"
One OF the child's favorite playmates
Is her royal uncle, Prince George. 1t
is said she likes him because he makes
such nice noises, like roaring lions. The
young prince gave his neice small VIC
trola, and the two spend much time iy'
the nursery practicing dance steps
The other two royal grandchildren.
the sons OF Princess Mary and Viscount
Lascelles, have just been entered on the
list OF admission to Elton. The Hon.
George Lascelles, who Is 6, will 60 in
1886, while his brother Gerald, who is
5, will join him the following year.

Army.
One of the new light tanks, the TEL
at the request of Maj Stephen o
Fuqia, chief of Infantry, has been sent
to the Infantry Board at Fort Benning
Ga, for test This tank, which was
first brought out by the Ordnance De-
partment in limited numbers last
Summer, Is an entirely new de-
velopment. It was used extensively
last Summer by the mechanical forces
at Fort George G. Meade. Md, with
ing tests are being made at Fort
Benning due to the fact that 1t is pos.
sible to conduct more extensive tactical
tests, the presence there of required
Infantry demonstration troops and
other auxiliary units making this pos
sible.
The speed Of the old light tank was
slightly over miles an hour, while the
new tank is capable of developing &c
miles an hour. The two vehicles weigh
about the same. The armament car
ried by the new tank consists Of both 9
37-mm. semi-automatic gun and a 80
caliber machine gun in combination
mount, whereas the old light tank car
ried one or the other, but not both.
Though Congress has authorized The
retirement of officers of the Philippine
Scouts, the enlisted men of the Phil
ippine Scouts are greatly interested ir
the question Of retirement, and feel that
they should have the same rights az
enlisted men Of the Regular Army In
view Of the action taken with relation
to officers. The first of the enlisted
men OF the Scouts, II in number, viii
complete their 80 years of service in the
1910 fiscal IF aVIr
as November, 1929. The War Dcoart.
ment has recommended that such ,egis-
latton be provided for the retirement Of
the enlisted men of the Scouts, and II
Is believed that this proposed legisIa.
ton will receive consideration as soor
as the regular session convenes in De-
cember. 1t Is estimated that this 1ist
will have increased to about 800 in the
1882 fiscal year and that the maximum
number 1 at at any time will be approxi,
mately 500. It is further estimated
that the cost of this list for the next
fiscal year will be little over $4,000
gradually increasing thereafter unit
1886, when the annual average cost Of
approximately $273,0 for the ensuing
year will be reached.
