nant just as good as waving over
the Angel park, the Saints have
but three more games on the schc-
dule and each of these should prove
a set-up for the championship ag-
gregation. The Saints have little or
nothing to gain from these games.
One Is with Donna, another with
Rio Hondo, and the third is a
postponed engagement with Mis-
sion.

NATURALLY enough, Lew Wal
hams Is anxious to get these games
off his books in order that he may
take On upstate teams. There is
no way TO make the clubs rush up
their schedule, but In order to give
the Saints a break, they should get
the games off the books as soon IS
possible. Missions postponed game
is TO be played at San Benito, but
Lew Williams has been unable to
get the Missionites to name an Up
proprtate date. Marburger recently
said he was willing TO play on his
off date. Aug. 81, but this is OBJ
viouSly impossible because San Be-
mite is scheduled at Rio Hondo on
that date.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP series with
the Gulf Coast pennant winners is
still in the air. The question OF
finances looms darby in the dis
lance. The Saints are no longer
just q San Benito team, but they
represent the Valley. They Will
draw crowds from all parts OF the
Lower Rio Grande. Many fans
would like to see the Saints take on
the Coast champions in San Benito.
However, II the Coast BOYS demand
an exorbitant guarantee. the series
Is out.
TWO GOLF tournaments will get
underway in the Valley in ne near
future. The Lower Gulf Coast asso-
citation Will hold its annual tourna-
ment az McAllen Aug. 81 and Sept.

all parts OF South Texas. The Har-

McALLEN, Aug. 22.-Inter-city
tennis tournaments in the Rio
Grande Valley, eliminating yearly
each fall in a big sectional gather
ing Of net players from all corners
Of the Tip o Texas, is seen as the
result Of several racquet meets which
have been held in the Upper VAL
ley during recent months. The
tournament now being conducted
by McAllen Tennis Club at its
North Tenth street courts here is
the only net meet under way just
at the present time.
Local players foster the belief
that a number OF cities such as
Brownsville. Harrington, Donna.
Edinburg. McAllen and possibly q
sixth city could stage early sum
mer tournaments each year and
then bring the winners OF the var
ious meets together in a large
regional meet that would rival In
interest and color any Of the
Journeys that are being staged an
nually In San Antonio, Houston
and other Texas cities.
The invitation meet sponsored by
the Young Mems Business League
Of Edinhurg several weeks ago IL
connection with independence Day
celebrations, Is credited with start
ing the ball rolling" along this new
line. Harrington civic officials. Ii is
understood, are planning an invita-
ton tourney there at an early date
with plans to ask the attendance
Of many Valley meters.
The tournament now nearing its
completion here has been >tretched
cut over a period of three weeks
and has greatly revived local in
terest in the game. Not only have
some stellar matches been staged
but the exhibitions Of several play
ers have been truly stellar.
Take the winners OF the local
meet, the Edinburg tourney and
the coming Harlingen fracas. put
them together for one tournament,
and you will have some Of the
finest racquet talent that South
Texas can offer. The tourney would
be kept on an amateur status, OF
course. 70 preserve the Simon-pure
standing. and demand it as well, OF
all players who enter.

TWO BOMBS EXPLODE
 IN CHICAGO NORTH SIDE
Blasts Bring Total to Four Directed Against Big Business"
 Within Last Month.

Chicago, Dec, 27 Pl-Two bombs exploded almost simultaneously on the north side last night, one O. them being the fourth directed against big business within recen; weeks.
 One explosion blew in the steel door of an apron factory owned by Carson Pirle Scott and Company and damaged brick masonry, broke win doWs and shattered plastering in an apartment across an alley. Three persons in the apartment were slightly injured This explosion was heard in Evanston, more than 10 miles away.
 Another bomb damaged d Chinese restaurant. Ten occupants were not injured but four of them, in a card game, were knocked off thelr chairs. The proprietor said he had had no trouble or warnings.

Salida, Colo, Dec 27 lP)-SnoW- blows have begun their seasonal Urangle with the clements in the Rockies,
 Men and machines have joined forces in efforts to keep highways across the continental divide open to the cross-c country motor trayol"r.
 Day and night. often for a week at q stretch, gasoline motors dronc their way back and forth along snow-Cloggcd roads. Hundreds of men work in shifts to prevent the white banks from erecting an all- winter barrier to travel
 Frequently there are slides, when hundreds Of tons of snow hurtle down from the mountainside with such force as to dislodse concrete railings-not by impact but merely by creating a back slap of wind.
 Of the score Of passes in the state les than a half dozen are kept open all winter. Tennessee pass, 10,276 feet above sea level, is one Of the most important because it is one a transcontinental route. Another is Raton pass, on the Santa F'e trail.
 Something like $100.000 was spent last year in keeping open passes and roads throughout Colorado. A hundred blows, mostly Of the straight blade variety are employed.
 And moving the snow is as much q problem of excavation as moving dirt or dock. On Tennessee pass q huge rotary ploW IS used, but only after the straight blade blows have worked over the road to give the whirling blades full play.
 snow work is Of fairly recent ori gin in Colorado, so far as keeping open the passes is concerned. Ten nessee pass has been kept open for only two seasons.

 Romance apparently is flourish ing among England's younger women. An average of slightly less than one bride in six last year was under 21. And the fact that they very often choose their husbands from those older than themselves is attributed to the increased earn ing power of the men.
