Our good friend Dick Niles. OPP
orator of radio station KRGV IN

words for our recent remarks about
the broadcasting Of the games IN

BY way OF showing us mistake
he mentioned that 81 calls were
received Friday and Saturday at
his office to make reservations for
the opening game OF the San Be-
nito- Harlingen series under the
lights Saturday night. He said that
these remarks were not only made
by this columnist but other in
dividuals who have the interest or
the league at heart. he says that
calls are received every day with
reference TO the games and that
they have bsen handling q goodly
number Of reservations for each
game at home. Sorry. Dick, our
mistake, glad 10 make tbs correc-
ton.
II appears as If the Harrington
Ladds are still having their share
Of financial difficulties. The Ladds
are stationed IN the largest city
in the circuit and have an excellent
ball club that warrants 100 per cent
support from all the local people.
Why they have not received support
has been a puzzle 10 the league
officials all season. Paul Trammell
has brought together one OF the
beSs talented clubs in the league
and a few Harrington individuals
are doing all they can 10 put the
club over, but fans from the Hub
City must realize that it takes more
than a few moneyed men TO carry
over a ball club.

weeks, baseball scouts from the

things over.
San Benito fans are anxiously
awaiting the mound appearance OF
big Vic Saralla. the latest addition

a portsider, was seen in action last
year in the Valley as a member o.
the Mopac nine from Kingsville,
and appears to be just what the
Saints have been in the market for
