BRIEFLY. this IS how things
stand: At the beginning of the sea-
son it was agreed 10 stage double
headers on the Fourth Of July and
Labor day. Gate receipts were to be
split between the ~contesting clubs.
Later, the schedule was revamped
to admit three new outfits and this
eliminated the double headers. No
new ruling on the division of gate
receipts on the single game holidays
was made. On the Fourth Of July
McAllen gave Harilngen half Of
her gate receipts. San Benito refused
to give Brownsville hal fof the gate
receipts.

PRESIDENT o. N. Boston of the
Rio Grande Valley league will likely
call a meeting Of managers in the
near future to rule on division Of
holiday gate receipts. There is a diff
ference Of opinion in this matter
which threatens to disrupt the cir
cult. This should and can be avoid
ed. A split-up in the loop would
deal a severe blow to the national
pastime-and it needs all the coax
ing and ~cultivating that it al get
at this time. 1t is just now getting
back On its legs in the Valley after
going on the financial reefs some
tive years back.

CLEARLY. there is a difference
Of opinion. The league should clear
up the situation by taking a vote
on the question. Brownsville and
San Benito should abide by this
decision. Lew williams. manager Of
the Saints has indicated that he
might withdraw his club from the
circuit. Geo. Desha, manager Of the
Broncs. on the other hand. says mis-
club will remain in the league. re
gardless OF how the question IS
ruled.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-07-21

THE FIREY personalities Of
Desha and Williams have clashed.
But baseball as a whole should not
be made to suffer because OF their
differences. The question of protest.
Ing games because of minor tech
nicalities has arisen. This should be
avoided. once started, there will be
no end. For instance, league rules
require that player contracts must
be in the office of the statistician
at least one week before a performer
is eligible. Neither McAllen nor
Raymondville has their contracts in
my office. League rules require that
the Rawlings RI ball be used. Only
about four OF the nine clubs are US
ing this ball. The rules require that
the home club turn in an official box
score Of each game played. A num-
Der of clubs have been delinquent
in this respect.

DUE TO THE fact that baseball
is fighting for a foothold onc more.
these things should be treated as
literally as possible. We would like
to see this season run off without a
protest. We do not believe there has
been any intentional i~nfraction Of
the rules. With baseball on the up
grade the reins can be frightened up
next year. with everyone profiting
by past mistakes. Let's iron matters
out and have q successful season in
stead OF sending the league on the
rocks.
