In between cloudbursts and show

major league war, pennant contend

won a moral victory over the wealth
er, and swan for their lives. One
game was delayed, another was cut
short, and the second portion of a
ooubleheader at the polo grounds
was washed away, but the rain
checks were rendered null and void
in every park.
Fighting in the western sector saw
the St. Louis Browns continue their
mad pace as two National league
favorites fell before so-called I'M
der-dogs. The Cincinnati Reds left
the Cubs Keeling under a II to IL
blow at Redlard field, but found
themselves severely battered py
Bruin Bats before it was called a
day.
Jess Petty pitched his first win
ming game Of the year on turning
back the Cardinals by s to 2 with
only four safe hits. The Pirates
themselves had their troubles with
Old Pete Alexander, and made the
game safe only by a three-run as
sault against Sylvester johnson in
the ninth after Alex had given way
to a pine hbatsman.
Giants Beat Phii,ies
About $4,000 fans we're enticed to
the Polo Grounds by word that the
Giants would trample the Pi1illies
twice in the sanle afternoon. After
Fred Fitzsimnons had toyed with
the Shotton troops to win the open
er by s to 2, rain fell in such a bust
ness-like way that Giant officials
were forced to send their customers
home short changed.
The rain which drenched Flat
bush and Environs gave the Robins
a chance TO prove themselves as
adept at losing in six innings as
they were known to be in nine. The
Braves accepted this decision by 5 to
2 and remained at the top Of the
leculiar standing of the national
league clubs.
Babe Ruth's second home run and
Waite Hoyt's effective pitching
pulled the Yankees through by Z
to 2 at Washington after the rain
held up. The contest was delayed
for more than an hour. Hoyt took
his third victory Of the season.
Boston fans to the number Of
25,0o0 finally had a chance to see
a major league championship con-
test on the Sabbath, but the Ath-
lAtics, out of sympathy with thu
spirit Of the occasion, romped back
to Philadelphia with an edge of
z to 8.
The 6 to 3 victory Of the Browns
at Detroit, coupled with the success
Of the Athletics, LETT these two con-
tenders in a tie for top honors in
the younger major circuit, each with
a mark Of .667.
The White Sox shaded the IN
dians by 2 to l at Chicago in the re-
naming American league skirmish.

Wins New Cup For

(SpeciaI to The Herald)

NoROOAoA w An
MERCEDES, April GA new
cup now rests in the trophy case
in the senior high school. This
cup was won by Mercedes junior
arithmetic team at a contest held
in Pharr-San Juan early in April.
The first contest was held as
scheduled the last Of March at Mis-
sion, where the county meet was
held, but due to a mistake of the
interscholastic league department
of Austin, the wrong testsheets had
been sent to Mercedes for practice.
This error was discovered after the
Mercedes team had o with a
score Of IA points above their near
est competitors, but were ruled out
of the contest. A new contest wa
arranged SO that all Hidalgo county
teams were eligible to compete.
The interscholastic league de-
partment corrected their mistake by
issuing a new test sheet. Mercedes
came out with a score of A, max
ing them 81 points above their
nearest competitor.

CITIES CONSUMS MORE
FRUIT AND

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-(P-
Fresh fruit and Vegetable consump-
ton at the three leading eastern
markets, New York, Philadelphia
and Boston, broke all records during
the first quarter of the current year,
oaSed on the number Of cars I'M
loaded at these terminals.
The total reached 81, 595 cars. an
increase of IL per cent over the
corresponding period of 1928, the
previous high year. Compared with
1926 the volume was 40 per cent
higher.
New York received almost 40, 0
carloads, Philadelphia, 1o,157 and
Boston, 1851. Produce dealers say
the increased consumption arises
chiefly from the heavy crops Of
citrus fruits and the increasing acre
age devoted to winter vegetables in
the south.

CPORTs
OFORUM

1t has been suggested that had
the Brownsville Eagle team been in
the class A circuit of the Texas In
terscholastic football race last fall
she would have been state cham
pions.
True enough. the Eagles had a
wonderful team last fall for a class
B organization and it is also true
that they could have whipped some
OF the class A clubs, but to say that
they could have been state cham
plons seems just a bit enthusiastic.
Although Abilene won the state
title last fall, she did not have the
combination that the same school
boosted of the season before when
they dropped the final contest to
the Waco High Tigers. In 1927
Abilene had a powerful high school
eleven. Waco had a powerful club.
The two went to the finals you re-
member and the day they met to
decide the question, thirty thou
sand fans gathered to see one of
the greatest high contests the
Lone Star state has ever known.
That thirty thousand saw Waco
take a lead, then they saw the West
erners come and cut that lead and
add a few Of their own points to it.
They saw the midgekt quarterback
of the Eagles known as ESco Wal
tiers, passes and run his team like a
veteran. That same thirty thousand
stood on needle points until the last
gun was fired after which the Waco
Tigers were declared state cham
pions by a close call.
1t was a disappointed and de-
termined bunch of boys who re-
turned to the west Texas city that
night. They made IN their minds
then that they would give some
one a run for their money the
next fall.
1928 did roll around and when
it closed the Eagles were cham
pions.
If BroWnsville's team last fall was
the best team in the state she could
have been champion. But the writer
fails to see that Brownsville had
that strong q team. though we are
not irving to belittle the Eagles one
bit. They had q wonderful team so
far as they went and they gained
the respect of the entire nation
when they whipoed everything in
the Vellev and then beat what the
Windy City sent down.
You lever can tell just what a
football team can do until after
they have done it. Now that the
Eagles are admitted into class A
playing. next year we will have a
chance to see how thew are going to
stand the running with the stronger
state teams.
It's our prediction right nov that
the state championship Of 1929 lies
between three teams. They are Am
arillo High. Abilene High and the
Waco Tigers.

DUBLIN, April 29.-(P-All par
ties in the free state parliament
have concurred in the passage of a
measure which will facilitate the ad-
mission of tractor parts into the
country, in the interest Of the Ford
tractor factory at Cork.
Formerly the import duty on trac-
tor parts was SO per cent from coun-
tries outside the British empire, and
% per cent from empire exporters.
The Ford factory at Cork is ex-
pected to employ shortly 5000
men, and later as many as 5000
men. Ninety-five per cent Of the
tractor output will be for export.
