Then comes San Benito. This game
may well be the one which de-
cides over which city the Valley
pennant shall fly for the ensuing
year.
Macks Still In
McALLEN is not cut Of the race
by any means. The Macks had a bad
day against San Benito Sunday, but
they have proved before that they
are capable Of bang-up ball. This
Is how their program shapes up:
Mission, San Benito. Mission. La
Feria, Brownsville, Donna. That's
not such a tough outlay and the
Macks can be counted on TO win a
majority OF their remaining con-
tests. :
BROWNSVILLE AND MISSION
come next in the standings. There Is
a bare thread of hope for both
clubs.
Brownsville's opposition follows:
San Benito. Mission, Rio Hondo, OIL
day, McAllen. Harlingen, Mission.
Missions games include: McAllen,
Brownsville, McAllen. Rio Hondo.
Raymondville. off day. Brownsville.
A winning squirt by either club will
keep them in the contender CLASH
fication.
La FERIA has shown a tough
ness of late which none OF tne
other clubs relish. She Is n OF the
few that have been able TO smack
over the McAllen crew this season.
Her program: Harrington. Donna
McAllen. off day. RaymondviHe,
Rio Hondo. There's the dope on the
leaders, now figure It out.

ears and the Giant boss sent a
posse into the hills after him.

venture. He pitched and played

" and later the greatest all-around
first sacker In the major leagues.
TERRY is one Of the best batters

His fielding average was 1894 and
included so more chances and 10
more putouts than any other ma
