CHICAGO, May 27 If Clint Brown hadn't Lcen an oyster open CT, he is confident he would today be third-rate pitcher in Class D baseball instead of the latest pitch ing sensation of the American league.
 To oyster opening the big Cleve- land right-hander credits most of his success. He was a third-rater before he entered that industry and since then he has been burning up baseball.
 Brown began his professional baseball career with Rochester of the International league, but was soon farmed out to Parksley, Md. of the Eastern Shore league. He wasn't much of success there either But during the winter of l92728 he landed the oyster-open- ing job in Baltimore.
 His success from that time on 1 has been meteoric. He went to Harrisburg in 1928 and won 23 games out of 31. Cleveland signed him, but sent him to New Orleans 1 for further seasoning in 1929 and he made good there, too The h. dians took him on as a regular this season and he turned in three straight victories.
 That job opening oysters turned the trick" Brown said Before l got it I was wobbly and my control wasn't so good. But fellow needs control to open oysters. A false move means a cut and, besides, ones fingers and hands are tough ened and strengthened. Oyster opening may not be necessary to be pitcher, but it did aid me. If I hadn't been an oyster-opener might be where I was three years ago"
 Control is Browns long suit. Few pitchers possess it in the remark able degree he does. Last season with New Orleans, he walked only 36 batters in PA innings. He hit but three batsmen and made only one wild pitch.
 1 Brown is 25 years old and pow CTS his throws with 180 pounds oi avoirdupois hung on frame feet l14 inches high.

Vincent Richards, who turned professional in 1927, the year the United States lost the Davis cup to France, broadcasts the hope that open tennis championships soon will become as popular part of the sports program as the open golf tournaments.
 This may materialize despite the present opposition Of the Inter national Tennis Federation, but the Gay when tennis professionals are as prolific and keenly competi- tive as their golfing brethren seems long way off.
 The two games are radically diff ferent in their competitive aspects the best proof of which is that in the three or four years since Prof c. c. Pyle raided the amateur ranks, no pro has developed to make it interesting at home to EX-Amateur Richards, who has been obliged to play international duets with Karl Kozeluh, the Czecho- Slovakian stroke wizard.
 Arc-light sports have gaine C steadily in popular favor and it is the suggestion of c. E. Mcbride

in the Kansas City Star, that the Southwestern Conference colleges in Texas can attract more oppon- ents by arranging to play football at night. The idea is that this would save the visiting elevens from the rigors of Texas heat.
 The University of Missouri plays the University of Texas at Austin next Fall and Gwinn Henry, the Tiger coach, would like to have the engagement take place in the comparative cool of the evening un- der flood-lights. Recalling a game with s. M. U. at Dallas two years ago, Henry told Clyde Littlefield the Texas athletic director; Tt is almost impossible to gc through the game at high speed on a hot day down there. had 9 good team against s. M. U. We 1cored a touchdown in the frs, four minutes but after seven min ltes of play we were through. The next week we went to Chicago ant played "a whale of a game against Northwestern.

THE YUMA HIGHWAY

Another valley road that between Ell Centre and
Holtve, will be paved highway the state high
way commission having let contract yesterday for
this work.
With contracts also let for the Brawley- Westmor-
land and Seeey- DiXieland links, highway work in the
valley will be brisk during the spring months
Forming part OF the important transcontinental
route which provides the best entry to California, the
Ell Cento-holtvilie paving contract is particularly
pleasing not only to residents of the valley but the
hundreds of other communities along the route back
east.
We cannot say at this time what the future high
ways plans of the commission for Imperial Valley, but
we certainly hope early action will be taken widen
ing the highway between the highne canal and the
sandhills.
This particular stretch carries heavy load of tour
st traffic and its makes it dangerous to
travel particularly at night. With heavy trucks and
stages using it, those travelling in light invariably
feel squeamish when called upon to pass the former
types of vehicle.
One has to remain the straight and narrow to
avoid an accident. The width of the commercial We
hces invites disaster side and the soft sand at
the side of the pavement is equally dangerous Hardly
a.week goes by that accident does not occur
Where along this section.
In making the statement that this route provides the
best entry into California make eXaggeration
figures showing that more vehicles enter the state
through Yuma than at any other eastern point West
bound traffic gets good impression upon its entry
into the state particularly after experiencing roads
in Arizona and further east which are not so good
Good opinion of California roads is likely be dis
counted however after the sandhis are passed and
the narrow highway is encountered.
We recommend to the commission early considera-
ton for means of widening this secton-one of the
most important pieces of road work in the state
