FINANCES PUT

Valley Home Clubs Are To
Obtain All Of Gate
Receipts
Special to The Herald

HARLINGEN. March 23.-Read-
justment of handling financing OF
games between teams OF the West
ern League now training in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Is being
worked out between the Valley
sponsors.
The new arrangement q for each
city to keep the gate receipts on
home games.
At the present time receipts are
divided between the towns in which
the two teams are training. for in
stance If Denver plays Omaha at
Mission, both towns share in the re-
ceipts equally.
The change is being made in order
70 permit the towns to work out
their own campaigns OF advertising
to increase attendance. AT present
time n town could not launch q
campaign unless all the other three
did. since IL would be spending its
funds to help some other city.
The four Valley towns in which
the Western League teams are train
ing have gu~santeed $1,000 each tc
these teams.
AS an added inducement for
crowds, the cities have decided %
admit women and children free
every day except Sundays.

The Valley natural which would
