The chief sport morsel on the
Valley platter today. Is the meeting
Of the coaches and officials at Har-
lingen in the munie, pal auditorium
this evening. The coaches viii give
the officials a closer once-over in
preparation for their coming week
end games. Sheriffs Of the Valley
counties have been invited to the
meeting. Their aid will be sought
In curbing the small time gambler.
Further discussion OF the proposed
p~ost-season. all-Valley game. will
probably be heard.
Speaking OF officials. this Is one
Of the biggest difficult.-s between
coaches. They get together and
schedule the game within 10 min
utes, but IL takes them half a day
to settle on officials. Many Of them
are eliminated as incompetent
without much ado. Then the big
issue OF partiality comes UP. The
coaches like to make little speeches
about democracy. trusting one an
cher. etc. but they always make
certain that they are getting an
even break In the matter Of Off
Gals. This Is one OF the big points
in the game.

is an oldtimer in the padded hemp. He has participated in more than 100 fights. At one time he was in the same fighters stable as Rancho Villa, one of the cleverest boxers the Little Brown Brothers have ever produced. Joe was touted as a coming welter champ.
 Walter Sibley has Leyson under contract and is preparing to send him to Southern California in the near future. He claims Joe shows more real class than any boy he has seen in the second raters in many years. He has been train ing his man for the bout with Ed die Roberts and predicts he will win easily. He doesn't know Eddie but has heard he is clever and in wonderful shape. He is prepared to offer Roberts a chance to go south with Leyson if he makes a good showing against the Filipino.
 Leyson is a clever boxer, shifty with his defense and has pretty good general knowledge of the ring game. In his first two ap- pearances here, he was outweighed badly. AS a result there wasn't any chance for him to show what he claims to have. And his claims are fairly well supported by the fans who have seen him in train ing.
 He can box well. His hitting is nothing to write home about as far as power is concerned. He may have a. knockout punch, but If so he is keeping it under cover. It looks like his bout with Roberts will be that of boxer against a fighter. He probably will outbox Eddie, but if the latter is able to connect, the boxer may be in for bad session.

 A lack of tournament experience remains the only bar to fame for the Los Angeles prepster. How ever, this obstacle he has been smashing aside with brilliant var iety of strokes. At present he holds the national municipal singles title-won last year at St. Louis and the Southern California singles crown which he annexed recently.
 Stoeffen is built along the lines of Bill Tilden, being 6 feet inches in height, and weighing around 175 pounds. Despite his gangling stature, Stoeffen possesses grea. speed afoot.
 Critics describe Stoeffen's game as extremely sound" He has a terrific service, and his driving game, both backhand and fore hand, is considered nearly perfect. Best of all, they point out, his temperament is all that could be desired.

There were some hopes earlier in the year that Jack Dempsey would yield to the old call and have one more fling with the gloves, but the retirement of the Man Mauler now seems as permanent as that of Tunney.
 Dempsey has yet to find steady job as promoter that he hoped to land after his successful venture with Madison Square Garden in Miami Beach last February. Fail ing in that and of the type always anxious for action, Jack may yet be brought back to the ring by if nancial inducements.
 It is now six years since Demp- sey, in his last title success, beat off the Wild Bull of the Pampas, Luis Firpo, at the Polo Grounds. Firpo, like Dempsey, cannot forget the ring and talks now and then of a comeback
 Firpo proved business man as well as a fighter when here. He has become rich in his homeland. His friends say he is millionaire, whether the figures are in dollars or pesos. He has made moro money outside of the ring than any other boxer

Win, lose or draw, the New York Yankees, so long as Babe Ruth is able to toddle up to the plate, are dangerous. In a single series, even now they are probably the tough est club in baseball, no matter where they happen to be in the standing of the teams.
 Recently, while the Athletics were coasting along with around a ten game lead, asked Connie Mack what he feared most, if anything. One might have expected the old master to say something about his own club going stale, with so big a margin to work on. But he re- piled:
 "The Yankees. we can't ever be too far ahead of them to suit me They have slipped, possibly, but they are always dangerous Our club has more than held it's own against the champions this year but not by any wide margin Con- fident as I am of our club, I would feel none too easy if the pennant hinged on the outcome of a single series between the Athletics and the Yankees"

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-The St.
Louis Browns have come a long way
since this time year ago. Rebuilt
last season by Dan Howley, the
Browns proved the sensation OF the
American League by finishing third.
New PLAYERS acquired since 1928 may
bolster the Browns into a high
powered pennant contender the
coming race.
Fifteen new players have been OBJ
tanned to strengthen the Browns.
Five of the most promising are
pitchers. They include Warren
(Rip) Collins, who formerly pitched
for the Yankees, Tigers and Red
Sox. and won seventeen and lost
nine for Toronto last season;
Claude Jonnard, who won ninteen
and lost eleven for Milwaukee; Herb
Cobb, who won fourteen and lost
seven for Wichita Falls; John
Buvid, who won twenty-one and lost
eleven for the Spartanburg (South
Atlantic League) club, and Oscar
Estrada, who won thirteen and lost
twelve for Shreveport.
Collins, Cobb and Jonnard are be-
ing counted on to help Crowder,
Gray, Blaeholder, Stewart, Coffman
and Ogden keep the Browns well up
in the race.
Three new catchers have been
added to the veterans, Wally
Schang and Clyde. Manion. The
outstanding of these is Dick Fer
rel, who received a bonus of $25, 900
for signing with the Browns after
Judge Lands declared him free
agent. He caught 126 games and
batted 1893 for Columbus last sea-
son. He is expected to be the
Browns first string catcher. Har-
vey Johnson from the Greenyille
(South Atlantic League) club, and
Ike banning from the New Haven
eastern League) club are the other
catching additions.
The Browns infield may find two
new figures at second and third
base. Lou Blue again will play first
