Speaking OF baseball

speaking OF
The pressure just got too high. 1t
was bound to come. After q week
Of wrangling, the Palmer Hat Max
ers and the Tigers got together.
They will play at $50 a. m. Sunday
on the Palm Courts diamond. This
Is one contest that we wouldn't care
TO umpire. If the game is as heat
ed and holly fought as the arrange
mentS. 1t might be a good idea 10
have an ambulance run out on the
field for an emergency. And the
boys are in earnest-no press agent
bunk about this.
Martinez will screw them over
the platter for the chapeaux
manufacturers and Aldape will
handle his Slants. Salinas, smoke
ball artist. will plant his bro
ganS in the twirler's box for the
Tigers. The slightly obese Ra-
mos will do the hind -snatching.
These may not be the best mines
in the world, but they take the
games seriously and have that
old collich spirit.
Another championship" fight for
the Valley. Pedro Lopez OF Mex
leo will battle Oscar Kohler of Tex
as at Reynosa on the Fourth Of
July. The bout is being promoted
by Major r. II. Blake OF Fort Worth
who is said TO be associated with
a Mexican amusement company.
The American Legion post at Meal
len is lending its name as sponsor
OF the ReynoSa fights. According to
the major. this fray will carry the
title and belt Of the southwest and
make the winner eligible to meet
any contender for the heavyweight
title Of the south.
Major Blake also has been
seeking TO pull a Fourth Of July
bout in the MatamorOs dog track.
Plenty Of publicity has been sent
out from Fort Worth, but that is
all that has been seen here. As
at first announced, the Valley
extravaganza would have rivaled
the recent Stribling- Sharkey
fight at Miami. R.il and aerial
excursions have been announced
for both the MatamOr0s and Rey-
moss fight.
Wonder if the major has heard Of
Camargo, Mier, Madero, the Dead
Angel Crossing. They're Just across
the line, too.
Edinburg pill chasers should
See some good play Sunday after
noon when Ralph Plummer, Ed
inburg Country club pro, and
Theron Palmer tangle in match
play with Hill Cooke and Vernon
Dixon over the Edinburg Country
club links. Golfing fans over the
Valley know these players well.
Cooke is one Of the best golfers
in this neck of the woods. He
has starred several times i'm the
regular Gulf Coast tournaments.
Consider the case OF poor Walter
Johnson. Walt was forced 10 see
his Solons bite the dust again
Thursday. He must have felt like
an old fire horse hearing the siren
as he watched the White SoX rally
in the tenth inning 10 win from his
club. 1i-8. This added a bit TO the
Goals being heaped upon Waits
head.
Five years ago, when Johnston
aided in beating the Giants in the
deciding game of the world Sc
ries, nothing was too good for
him. He was a hero. He could
have had the key 10 the city or
what's more. the key 10 anybOdy's
cellar in the national capital.
Walt is back now as manager.
The CJlons aren't standing so high
in the ratings. Walt is under fire
from several quarters, according TO
rumors. The inference coming
from the capital is that Walter may
be asked 70 hand over the reigns II
the Sen rs do not improve. Ev-
identity this hero vaccination pro-
duces immunity from the ire Of
the fans for a very short time.
Texas has two new golf cham
pions today. ~. G. BuSSey Of Lub-
book VINO the annual West Texas
tournament yesterday. Frank
FOxhall of Memphis, Texas, took
the Green Belt title at Vernon at
the same time Teyax has a rar
