Early in the morning they took
the Hat Makers, claimants Of the
Brownsville city title, into camp
by a score of 1912. They left no
doubt as to their superiority.
Their ~siuggers leaned on the pill
at opportune moments through
out the game. Mejia and Iocha
tOiled on the hillock for the Cav
alrymen. Several former mem
bers of the Brownsville Tigers
appeared in uniforms Of the 43rd.
Members OF the rocking chair
fleet indeXed this away in their
noggins under the heading Of "re-
venge.' Well, they got il. The
Tigers were beaten by the Hat
tiers.
We're rather sweet on the Nc
Allen American Legion nine When
we get to ranting about them,
blurbs that sound like a overly
ripe plum falling out Of a tree on
a still night roll out from under
our fingers. The Macks came
through Sunday. defeating the San
Benlto Pentegons SO. "Old Folks"
Hamberlain cranked up his deere
pit soup bone and slowballed the
Five-Siders to a fare-ye-well. He
didn't work overly hard either: only
bearing down IN the pinches when
hits meant runs. He had a smart
piece OF furniture squatting behind
the platter to take his slants. This
was r. Drye. captain and catcher
for the S. M. u. Mustanks during
the past season. B. Yoder. agile
Mack shortstop, starred with the
willow. cracking out three bingles
in five tries at the platter.
Edcouch also baseballed in a
big way Sunday, putting ON q
trained animal act with the Mer-
cedes Lions. Griffin not only
hurled chit bail for them, but
cIoufed In the winning u in the
ninth that cinched n FL victory
for his aggregation. Edcouch did
not fare so welt in the Valley
league last year but IN apparently
having her innings now.

Sidewalk palaver has IL thai
Warrington will be the center Of
thc Valley cau'iflower industry
WHEN boxing Is legalized In
Texas. Several well known VAL
ley figures are said to be back
ing the proposed venture. The
cards would be put On at the
municipal auditorium. AZ n
Glance. Harllngen appears an
ideal location for Valley fights.
IL is centrally located and should
get crowds from Brownsville and
Mercedes and intervening points.
Heretofore cards have been put
on at Brownsville and Mercedes.
Each of these towns and surround
ing territories have a fair-sized'col-
lection Of fans but they are so far
apart that few cared to make the
long trips to see the fights. Har-

Dick Wymore is tired OF play
ing the role OF an innocent by

training again and expects to
fight in the near future. Dick
Quit the ring a while back after
taking a severe FASTING from
PattIing Shaw. Shaw stood off
from him and "cOrk-screwed" an

Shaw waded in and pummeled
him numerically.
Fie on those San Benitans who
declare there are no fishin' worms
in the Valley We have IL from
authoritative sources that there are

Hunter, John Armstrong and
others declare that they obtain
fishing worms with regularity.
Doc Dutro suspects the no
worms rtory rs being Florida or
California propaganda. The San
Benitans, in effect. declare that
there is something wrong with
Valley soil. doc" Dutr0 says. If
the Valley viii not produce
worms, there IN a reason. The
obvious reason would be lack Of
plant matter in the soil. DOC"
