Rl-Pittsburgh's Pirates. winners OF
two National League remnants in

Of the tough-to-beat teams Of the
senior circuit, give promise OF hav-

The spring workout has been un-

but Manager Jewell Ems has seen
enough TO convince him he will pi-
lot a club that should be up there
with any kind OF breaks"
A great squad, fast, young fellows,
hard hitting outfit. good pitching.
Is the way Ems sums up the situa-
ton.
"Pennants aren't won in training

FL Nino Fidencio must have paid a
call on the crippled" San Benito
amateur cagers. Either that, or the
San Benito Saints have been at
tending the medicine show en-
mass. At any rate. Geo. Sanders
boys threw away their crutches last
night and defeated the fast moving
Edinburg Firemen 28-25. Any five
which does this cannot be called a
team OF cripples.
AS a result Of this upset of the
dope there Is a strong possibility that
Donna and Edinburg will tie for
second place in the championship
round robin. The Importance Of
this tie becomes evident when one
understands that the two leading
teams in the round robin will make
the trip to San Antonio TO repre-
sent the valley III the state anna
teur tournament.
Nfethodists Favored
The Harlingen Methodists should
emerge on top OF the heap Satur-
day night when the final game will
be played. Edinburg has a pair Of
games with Harlingen Friday and
Saturday. AS viewed by the dope
sters, the best Edinburg can hope
for Is a split. Donna has a pair of
games with San Benito. She should
at least split with the Saints. That
would leave things khotted up for
second honors.
re - l--l-T4 k-Av- e.. rnrnnI v,1unc
ties, the Valley amateur race would
have proved far less interesting this
season. It looks as though these
are the general rules for Valley Gag
ers.
Crucial Game
The crucial test OF the season
will come Friday at Harrington when
the MethodiSts take on the Firemen.
This will put the two bracket cham
pions together. Fans have been
waiting for this game all season
and a large crowd of fans will like
" be on hand. They will meet
again Saturday night at Edinburg.
Wednesday night. Wallace and
Campbell OF the Saints outdid them
selves to tie nine-all for high point
scoring honors. Tom Winningham
and Garrett Of the Firemen were
close behind with eight each.
This game was fast from the OUT
set. and was one of the best exhi-
billions seen on the Stonewall Jack
son court this season. A fair-sized
crowd Of fans was on hand 10 wit
ness the rise OF the crippled Saints.
