yes, the Valley is coming into its
Own at a rapid rate along the
sport line.
What's Eornsby going to do this
year with the Chicago Cubs, is
baseball fodder among fans the
country over. Valley fans are also
interested and talking along this
phase Of the national pastime. We
believe Hornsby is going to be just
what he has been in the past, the
greatest hitter in the National lea
que, and one Of the greatest ball
players that ever stepped upon a
diamond. Mccarthy. Cub manager,
knows how. to handle men like
Hornsby, Hack Wilson, Cuyler and
Stephenson. It's going to be pretty
tough. on pitchers when facing such
sluggers as the above named Cubs.
Walter Johnson-success or not
as manager of the Washington
Senators this year-certainly has
the right idea Of conditioning his
p~roteges. First thing the popu-
lar Senator did when he reached
training camp was to issue orders
70 his men not to throw the ball
around until they had li,nbered
up their legs and muscles of the
body. Many a good ball player
has ruined his chances of becon1-
ing a star by grabbing a ball the
first day of spring training and
heaving it with all his might, and
consequently throwing" it away
i'll diamond parlance.
Way out in Phoenix, Ariz., Bucky
Harris is putting the Detroit Tigers
IN fighting mood for this coming
season. Harris may be regarded as
a high-hatted gent by some fans,
and writer's, but the fact remains
that Bucky who, before going to
the big leagues, was a poor boy
working in a coal mine. Anybody
who has the ambition and the sue
cess Harris has had, under such cir
cumStanceS, deserves credit. But
the thing we greatly admire about
Harris. is that he is the boss of his
players on the field; a lot more than
many managers of ball clubs, who
haven't the backbone to back up
their Judgment. when coming in
contact with the president of his
club.

HIGH CACERS
PLAY FRIDAY
State Tourney To Be Run OFF
At College Station Is
Colorful One
Especial to The Herald)


COLLEGE STATION, Tex, Mar.
For eight years the annual In
terscholastic league basketball tour
nament to determine the high school
cage champions of Texas has been
one of the most cOlorful high school
athletic events of the state and,
with increasing popularity each
year, it is becoming one of the most
important high school classics of
Texas. The ninth annual to0rna-
ment to be held at the A. g. M.
Memorial gymnasium Friday and
Saturday, March SO, promises to
lack nothing in the color or action
Of meets of previous years and with
fourteen of the strongest teams ever
entered in such an annual tourney,
the meet this year is expected to at
tract more than usual interest.
The first InterScholaStic league
tourney was held in 1921 when Andy
Cohen, 0 famous major league
ball player, led the Ell PaSo high
school cagers to the title. The fol-
lowing year the small town of Lin
dale sent forward to cop the trophy
what was said to be the strongest
aggregation ever entered in a state
meet. This team was later declared
ineligible, however. In 1923 and 1924
Oak Cliff high school of Dallas set
a mark which has never been equal
led by taking the title twice in a
row. In 1925 Holly Brock, ace of
the Texas Longhorn quintet this
year, led the Beaumont cagerS to
the championship and in 1926 Brac-
kenridge high school of San An
tonic Won the meet. Athens high
school won the meet at A. 81 M. in
1927 and last year the Austin Ma
rooms won the title but were declar-
ed ineligible and the trophy given
TO Temple.
This year speculation as to the
outcome Of the meet has been rife
but on preseason dope numerous
scribeS and critics favor the veteran
Athens quintet while Denton, FL
Paso, Corsicana and San Jacinto
high school OF Houston have also
come in for g large share Of consid-
Grafton. However. with the large
number Of up5etS that have featured
Journeys Of the past, it is evident
that dope means almost nothing and
everyone Of the fourteen teams en-
tered in the meet is conceded a good
shot at the title.
The fourteen bi-district cham
pions entered in the meet are: Ath-
ems, Bryan. Cisco, C~orsicana, Deni-
son. Denton. Ell Paso, EStelline,
Knippa. Main Avenue (San Anto-
MOI, May, McAllen. Perryton and
San Jacinto high school of Houston.

One of the most picturesque char
acterS of the. ring passed out of the
championship picture when the 60
rilla-like Rocky Kansas yielded his
lightweight title to Sammy Mandell
at Chicago on a July night in 1926.
1nheriting the purple mantle when
he beat the obscure Jimmy Good
rich, who was rafting around in
Benny Leonard's shoes. Kansas de-
cided to risk the championship for
a $4,000 purse.
Mandell, an idol of the west, was
the CHALLENGER. A clever boxer of
the light-hitting type, the Rockford.
Ill. boy. persuaded his friends to
guarantee the huge off to the cham
pion and personally underworld

What a contrast when the two
1876 Founders climbed into the ring!
Kansas. short and chunky, with
hairy chest and the biceps Of a
blacksmith. Mandell, a sheik-l like,
leopard-type, handsome gladiator.
For 10 rounds the champion and
the champion-to-be stepped around
the canvas. In his awkward style
Kansas could not catch the graceful
Wllo-'-the-wisp challenger. His
powerful lunges failed to connect.
In and out wove Mandell, his
lefts 1abbing like pistons. Mandell
hit often but his blows were light.
Kansas seldom landed, but when
he did the leather hurt.
The decision went to Mandell,
likewise the championships.

Sure ought to have good baseball
this summer, and the crowds ought
to be big; some task organizing a
baseball league, and the Valley owes
q debt of thanks to those who have
spent many days toward permanent
organization.

those present at the baseball meet

some believed Harlingen couldn't
support a ball club, others believed
they would, and everyone hoped
they would enter.
When the whistle toots at A. {.

tournament will be on. The Valley
has a representative up there this
year that is going to battle for the
state title, McAllen. They play
Denton tomorrow afternoon in the
first game. Dykes Bulldogs have
the good wishes of Valley fans and
citizens as a whole, and are deserv-
ing of it. We hope they cop the
title, and if pulling for them will do
any good, they have the champion
ship cinched for u part.
Art Shires, former Brownsville
ball player, is the new captain of
the Chicago White SoX; he was
promoted to that position Tuesday,
taking the place of Bill Kamm,
veteran third baseman. Pretty
good for Shires, as he went to the
Sex the latter part of last season.
He has cinched the first base po-
s;tion. Going to make a better
player than he is right now. AL

you don't know him: Shires is
due to shine in the ma jors, and
We hope he does.

HEAD DALRYMEN
ANOTHER YEAR

Election of officers and changes
in the rules of the 1929 dairy cow
competition was the principal bust
ness discussed by members of the
farm bureau dairy department, who
met yesterday morning in the court
house with Vern DeTar, farm ad-
visor.
Il. 6. Farnsworth was reelected
chairman, G. l.. Marsh was named
vice chairman and A. O. Klein was
reelected to the office of treasurer.
Included in the changes was the
rearrangoment of grouping herds. In
stead of herds of 20 cows and lower;
20 to 40 COW herds and herds over
40, the grouping has been raised to
% COWS and lower; % to 40 COW
herds and herds of over 40. This
change was deemed advisable due to
the small number of herds with 20
cows or under.
In order to avoid giving ribbons
to low producing herds, in cases
where there are only few herds
competing, it was voted that the
herd production average must be
above the average production of the
cow testing association.
1t was decided to hold dairy day
celebration on the Howard Farms
worth ranch the latter part of Feb
ruary, at which time ribbons and
cups for the annual dairy cow com
petition will be awarded. In the
past these affairs have been held in
Ell Centre but no arrangements had
been made for one this year.
L. c. Hawk and w. c. starner
were appointed members of com
mittee to audit the department S
books.
The annual cowtcsting report was
discussed and will be announced in
detail later.
