TALK

GDe2kllE OF QGGE-
Evidently there are deer hunters
in the Texas senate. The solons
Thursday killed Senator Archie
PARIS bill that would have advanced
and shortened the deer season and
provided for a bag limit OF n buck
Of eight points or more. The SEN
ators effectually killed the bill by
indefinitely postponing action on IL,
The proposed law would have ap-
piled only 10 is counties in the
southwest extending along the Dor
der from Corpus Christi to Laredo,
The senator's evidently agreed
with local sportsInen who w2Xed a
bit derisive over the proposed
season and eight point or bet
ter phase Of the bill. They
pointed out that a hunter was
'Iucky il he was able 10 tell
whether a deer running in the
brush was a buck or a doe, much
less be able to count the prengs,
il any" Sportsmen even went a
bit further and pointed out their
belief that the eaSon here was
much too early. Bucks Go not be-
gin running very well in the
Valley until about Christmas. The
warm climate makes the prac-
teal season come later in this
section than in other parts OF the
state.
Deer. while not over-abundant,
are said to be plentiful in the up
per end Of the Valley. Several have
been killed by trains recently. They
we're spotted" by the headlights OF
the locomotives and stool until the
iron horses crashed into them. All
instances were reported promptly TO
the game warden by the rail COM
pany.
Efforts are being made TO work
up additional interest in cupboard
racing i'm the Valley. These races
are being held with regularity
around the Texas coast line rs
well rs at some of the larger in
land cities. There are many boats
in the Valley and il Is hoped to
hold regular weekly meets in the
future at the Iona Alta lake. or
at some other suitable body Of
water. A group of local outboard-
ers are planning trial heats over
the Iona Alta curse Sunday
morning and afternoon. The lake
is located eight miles out on the
Point Isabel road.
Sports are practically at a stand
still at Fort Brown just now but
baseball and polo are expected to
be revived as soon as troop 3 re-
turns from Fort Ringgold. a base
ball tournament for the champion
ship of the post will be held between
four troops and a detachment or
galiZation. Last year Fort Brown
produced one major league pros
pect. He was William Wizomersky.
better known as Mersky. He starred
on the slab with the Brownsville
American Legion nine and was
signed b. the Chicago White Soy
He got a tryout this year and was
farmed out 10 an East Texas club.
Another event looming In the
citing is a billiard tournament
between members Of the Elks club.
Ambitious emulators Of Willie
Hc7rie are chalkinz up their
cues and practicing ricochet shots.
Valley baseball fans know that
Art Shires will not stand much
razzing. His recent rookus with the
White SoX MANAGEMENT IS said 70
have been caused by the same thing
that caused Bib Falk TO leave the
club; that caused Rav Schalk to
quit: that Is causing the amiable
Teddy Lyons TO chafe. That thing
IS management from "the office"
and not from the bench. Lena
Blackburne is said 10 be only a fig
urehead. Harry Gardiner Is said TO
be ramrodding the SoX.
Many suspect that II Blackburne
had been let alone with Art there
never would have been half as much
trouble as existed. The last row
came up when Shires appeared in
batting practice wearing one OF
these loud felt hats that kids af-
fected in the spring. One store SAYS
that the speaking tube in the dug
out fairly screamed and Lena was
given q rare bawling out about the
matter and told to tell that -
to get that - hat off in a hur-

II is being rumored that the
