Well. the Saints have just about
cirched the Valley championship.
All they have TO do is win one
more game and then they have u
cinched. 1t seems that the Saints
are trying 70 play off the few
games that they have on schedule
during the week SO that they can
bring down some strong teams
from the upper part OF the state.
The j. c. Penney bowlers whip
ped the Missouri Pacific team last
at the Welch-White Bowling
Alley. {. A. King lead the team 70
victory with an average Of 2l8 for
the five games. In all but on game
he average two hundred or better.
This Is the highest average that
has ever bowled on the alleys. 1t
seems that the Penneymen are
about the cream Of the crop and
they haven't lost a single contest
since the start Of the season. We'd
nesday the Penney Co. plays the
Doctor Burton Health Home Boys
at the Campbell Bowling Alley at
Harrington. These teams are the
best III their respective towns SO
will be a hot contest.
The strong McAllen Bulldogs will
battle the San Benito Greyhounds

has won over the San Benito team
for the last three years. and this
year Coach Reynolds Is planning
on stopping their string or victories.
The Harlingen baseball team will
battle with the Rio Hondo team
next Sunday az the Rio Hondo
park. Every person in the Rio
ondo district is planning
downing the strong Harrington

tick will hurl against the Rigney-
men. Anderson or Snavlev will hurl
for the Hariingsn team. II Rio
wins Sunday and the Broncs
McAlien Rio Hondo will be
IN second place in the League
