Who's going to snap up Bob
Wade's challenge to 200 rounds OF
skeet? Don't all speak at once.
Bob has strongly insinuated that he
is the Valley champion at 200
rounds. He says he's ready 70 take
on anyone and will be open for an
engagement Sunday. ThereA PROB
ably be lots Of them on his neck.
Wade has never been accused 81
falling down on the first hundred,
breaking from % 10 IS, but he says
his strength will lie in that second
hundred rounds. II just begin 70
get warmed IT'D when the rest OF
them are tired out" he says. Arnold
might come down and beat wade II
Decker were led way back IN the
woods and tied to q tree. These
two Skeeters have had a friendly
feud of long standing that began
wears ago on trap ranges IN Kan
sas. Arnold showed Decker how
1t was done back in those days
The tables have been reversed since
both came 10 the Valley and took
I'd skeeting at Donna. Decker nan
ages to nose out Arnold and always
has a chuckle at his limping COM
panion's plight
Hunters who have practiced at
the skeet range declare their marx
manship has improved CONSIDER
ably. Skeet shooting is arranged IN
such a manner that 1t Is the near
est possible approach to actual field
conditions. One move around the
field getting all the possible angle
shots. The traps fly out OF a high
and low position in singles and
doubles. Whitewings are feeling the
effects of skeet practice. Filled
game bags are no rare spectacle
this season.
With the renewal Of the ancient
feud between the Brownsville
Eagles and the Corpus Christi Buc-
cancer in the not so distant future,
fans are preparing for a large
turnout at the Gulfside city. One
of the local railroads has announced
A round trip rate Of S3.15. a spe-
cial train would be rum Transpor-
tation cost is thereby eliminated as
n OF the fans worries Many OF
the Eagle supporters will make the
trim BY automobile. The squad IT
self will 90 up the day before the
game by rail.
The round "trip tickets are now on
sale at the following places: Batssll
a. Wells, Hargrove Book Store. Nc
Kay Drug Store, Cisneros Drug no.
2. Bell Service Station and the
Eagle Pharmacy. 1t is also lily
that several planes will stagger up
the coastline burdened by loads 81
eager fans.
Strangely enough, one does not
hear much concerning the harln-
gen game. Il seems as though
Brownsville is more concerned with
the games to follow-Corpus Christi,
Robstown, Breckenridge, Main,
Harlendale. Alamo Heights and
Austin. So far as the Eagles are
concerned, the Harrington game
means nothing in their chase for
district honorS. But there Is still
that Valley angle TO the game. Il
would be a sad blcv indeed If the
Eagles were TO get off on the wrong
foot. The squad is not over-con-
fident although II is a greater
paper team than the Cardinals.
The Eagles and Junior college
Scorpions Will probably stage q iu.l
length game behind closed doors
Saturday. The high school squad
IS ahead Of the collegians in train
ing but the game will mean vaiu-
able experience for the players ivd
will give the coaches an opportunity
10 ret q better line on their eleveEs.
1t will have all the elements OF "A
real contest but with no damage
possible due to Fessenden and sur
tees having their fingers crsssed.
"A Valley baseball league. conf
posed or industrial and amateur
teams. has been suggested as a re-
suit or the San Benito Pentagons
ucces These players cavort under
the colors Of the Central Power and
Lieht company. Their record -
perhaps the best III the Valley.
They have tucked away Is Of their
last III starts. No action toward q
league has been taken as yet. We
would like TO see some system put
into baseball next year. Everyone
had lots Of fun this season. but i
lacks that dessert which comes in
the form Of a championship series.
