McALLEN, Aug. 30-If a few plans
OF Harley Jackson work out Just
right McAllen Legionnaires will be
firmly ensconced in third place
when the Valley league season closes
This afternoon he and his bung!ing
nine tramp down to Donna to take
on the league team OF that city.
Rio Hondo and Brownsville, both
Of whom are crowding the Macks
for third rank honors, will meet
San Benito and Harrington, respec-
lively.
The Donna game will close the
season for the Legionnaires. Rio
Hondo and Brownsville, unless some
big upSetS occur. are due to lose
their tits. since the Saints and Cit
rus City lads r in first and second
places. Jackson feels sure his men
can take the Donna tilt. The Nc
Allen club will have a new slabster
on the mound In the person Of
Adclrh Cara. a nifty little south
paw who joined the jackson squad
this week. Lack OF decent pitching
lost the last three games that the
Macks have dropped.
IF my pitchers can't beat Donna
I'm gonna do the twirling myself"
Jackson reverberantly announced.
The McAllen Swatting combina-
ton. including Punk Young. Arthur
Guerra, Johnny Young and Law
renee Rirkhart, r going to try
their willows on the slantS Of the
Donna hurler and are due to deliver
correctly, since 1t will be the last
opportunity for such action this
season.
jackson Is laying definite plans
for preventing either Rio Hondo or
Brownsville from nosing him out Of
third place.
McAllen tennis clubs doubles
champions, Walter Babe" LanSford
and Julian Hambrick, further estab-
llshed their supremacy In Upper
Valley net circles Friday afternoon
by taking a three-set victory from
Bill Southwell. Edinburg College net
ter. and Orville Lefty" Cox, South
wells former teammate at the Bronc
school. Scores stood at Ga. 60.
60 IN the McAllen pairs favor at
the end of the guelling scrap.
Langford and Hambrick weathered
a whitening first set battle TO cop
the final bouts with ease. Wearing
Southwell and Cox down with their
stampeding play in the first set, the
local duet came through with ease
TO take the last sets with love scores.
Through Hambrick'S stellar service
and net play the Palm City champs
ran the count to five all and six all
before the ~collegians were able to
break through L~angford's sc fyice TO
make IL seven-six and then with
Southwell's service to clinch the set.
Opening up their impregnable
lobing game and net play. the Mc-
Allen pair ran through four straight
games before the Edinburg pair were
able even TO deuce a game. Lang
ford's service aces were coming in
Of the left court and Southwells
smashing mid-court drives were hit
ting the net time after time. Re-
covering from the fifth games deuce
count, Langford pulled some great
lofter and drive returns from the
net and aided by Hambrick'S base
line lcbs smashed through to q love
victory. The final set went the
same route. although Langford's
stellar placements and Hendricks
service made the points come a bit
faster.
Having disposed OF the college pair
the McAllen titlistS are now await
ing the further acceptance OF their
challenge TO meet any Upper Valley
players.
