WICHITA In
GOOD SHAPE
Leads Valley Loop And
Players Improving
Daily
Especial TO The Herald)

McALLEN. March 22.-Wichita
Aviators OF the Western league rest
ed on their lauTels over the week
end. after having gained undisputed
leadership in the Grapefruit
League Of the Lower Rio Grande
valley and prepared TO continue
their march toward the champion
ship Of the four western loop teams
training in the Valley.
The AViators, under the able
leadership Of Art Griggs. snapped
into their stride after dropping the
opening game Of the 30-game
schedule to the Omaha Packers and
whipped the Packers in a return en-
gagement. They followed this coup
with two straight wins over the
Denver Bears. once here on Thurs
day and the second time at San Be-
nito Friday. The filters are leading
with a percentage Of $50. having
lost one and won three. IL Is highly
probable that they will not be head
ed throughout the season.
Schedule
The Wichtans will resume their
schedule Monday afternoon at Le-
gion Park here when they meet
Claude Davenort's Des Moines De-
mons in the first OF a two-game Sc
ries. They will meet the Demons in
4 return engagement at Harrington
Tuesday.
Griggs Is well pleased with the
manner in which his players are
rounding into form. Two sore arms
and one sprained ankle are the only
injuries recorded thus far and they
are rapidly responding 70 treatment.
Dugas, a snappy outfielder. is the
victim Of the spralned ankle. but
he will be back IN uniform IN a few
days. Lindimore's arm is giving him
trouble, but nothing serious viii re-
suit.
The team Is advancing rapidly.
Griggs declared, and will be work
ing at top speed within the week.
Oliver Blakeney at short Is looking
great and is showing up better
than ever. For a youngster, he is
considered q fast stopper Swans
boro and Vigare, two veterans, will
be in top form for a fast season
within a few days. Vigare has dem
onstrated to everybody's satisfaction
that he can and will hold down
third sack. Swansboro at first Is the
man for that place beyond a doubt.
Griggs is blessed with four excel
lent catchers. all OF whom can
handle any Of his pitchers with
equal ease. Mealey. Harris. Sypher
and Arzatti all work behind the bat
with beautiful precision and rarely
let anything get By.

One of Brownsville's true pioneers
hes returned to visit the city he
knew so well in the nineteenth CEN
fury.
Andrew j. zilker, at present a
resident of Austin. IS in Browns
vile visiting old friends and ms
pecting the town he helped build.
Mr.. Zilker first came to Browns
vile in 1882 to take charge Of an ice
plant which was being operated by
Captain Richard King, destined
later TO be a cattle baron, land
owner and one Of the richest of
Texans. The city OF K~ingsville was
named after him.
Mr.. zllker remained in Browns
vile until 1885. during all Of which
time he was employed by and close
" associated with Capt. King.
Seeks Old Friends
NO history Of Brownsville would
be complete without reference to the
names of King. Kennedy, Yturria,
Dalzell and Zilker". VIM. S. West
said Saturday when explaining the
cause Of Mr.. zilker's present visit TO
Brownsville.
About three year sage Mr.. Zilker
returned to Brownsville 10 look up
old friends and to view again the
old town that he used to know SO
we'll" MIR. West said. Naturally, he
went around to where Don Pancho
Yturria formerly operated a bank
ing establishment and wholesale
house. and he noticed on the walls
Of the old office a picture Of Capt.
King. But the likeness shown to
Mr.. Zilker did not at all remind
him Of his old friend and employ
er.
"As a matter OF fact. MI. Zilker
said il vas not even a good like
ness Of King. 1t portrayed him as
a stern, hard, relentles shocking in
dividual. whereas Captain Richard
King was Of a most kindly and
generous nature.
Knew Him Well
i know. because as a young man
] knew him and will never forget
his likeness. l was SO intimately as
ISOLATED with him that l feel con-
fident to speak of his kindly char
acteristics", Mr.. Zilker told the own
ers. He had among his keepSakes a
picture Of King, and took it upon
himself TO have made a true and a
speaking likeness of him, which Mr..
Yturria promised might be hung in
place OF the picture which was then
in Mr.. Yturria's office.
Mr.. Zilker has made another
trip TO Brownsville. And today in
the old Yturria office. he had the
pleasure OF hanging on the walls a
fine picture of Captain Richard
King as ne knew him years ago"
continued Mr.. West.
No True Likeness
He added that there had been
no true likeness of Capt. King in
Brownsville. In the office where il
now hangs. it appears beside the
picture Of Capt. Miffin Kennedy.
his old partner, and Don Pancho
Yturria.
1t is quite coincident that Just at
this time when the citizens of
Brownsville and the Brownsville
Navigation District have just voted
81 100000 worth of bonds to bring
the Gulf to Brownsville's door that
one is reminded that in the days
when Zilker came to this section
first. King and KENNEDY operated
a line Of steamboats, from Bagdad
at the mouth Of the Rio Grande
