devoted by the commissioners to a
plan TO remove the annual flood
menace in the vicinity of FL Paso.
The plan contemplates straighten-
ing 70 the river between El Paso

l55 miles as measured along the
meandering course or the river. The

VALLEY YOUTH
TO WHITE SOX
Bill Yoder Ordered To
Report at Once
To Chicago

M. c. CBilD Yoder. flashy Harlin-
gen second baseman. has been or
dered 10 report Immediately to the
Chicago White Sox and he will
likely leave Thursday or Friday to
join C~omiskey's club in the Windy
City.
Orders to report for a trial came
from Harry Gardiner. White Sox
secretary. over long distance TO Ben
Epstein Wednesday noon. Get him
UP here as soon as you can" the
secretary told Epstein.
Yoder was doubtful as to whether
he could leave Thursday but felt
certain the he could be ready by
Friday. The White Hose complete
their home stand July 81 and Grab
liner was anxious TO have Yoder
there in time to join the club for
the road trip.
This is one Of the few instances
in which a player has gone from
strictly amateur ball to a major
league outfit. Yoder's flashy work
around the keystone sack and his
heavy clouting has been the sensa-
ton Of the Rio Grande Valley league
this season.
Yoder is hitting at a 500 clip and
has been at bat more times than any
other player in the league. His re-
include eight doubles and a home
run. The dark-haired chap is the
best fielding second baseman in the
circuit. He has erred but once this
season according to league records.
His aggressive play around second
and his big war club is one Of the
chief reasons why the Harlingen
nine is in second place IN the Valley
league chase.
