AT THE OPENING Of the seas

1ettermen from his club which went
70 the semi-finals last year. Minim-
izing individual brilliance and
~stressing teamwork. Barron nodded
two other boys into the little ma

year at center, was the key man.
Barron brought the team along
slowly and had il in top form Tor

strong CLUBS

These four quints are among the
best ever developed in this section
and their tussles should give the
fans a thrill that they Will long
remember. The Methodists are de-
tending champions and they came
within q few points of capturing
the Texas amateur championship
last year at san Antonio. They
have a strong following and II Is
sincerely hoped that they will re-
consider and enter the round-robin.
They have dropped but one game
this year and that went TO the San
Benito saints after a five-minute
extra period by a score Of 1890.
The Methodists are fully as strong
this season as they were last. but
competition in the Valley circuit IS
stronger.
The San Benito Saints have a
powerful combination which should
make a hard playing bid in the
round-robin series. They have
dropped but two contests this year
and both Of these went TO the Har-
lingen Methodists-which Is no re-
Election al all on their ability for
the Methodists are amply good.

The Edinburg Firemen, perennial
Ridalgo amateur champions, have
breezed along in great style this
season and have lost but n game
In about 20 starts. This fray went
to the hard hustling McAllen Mon
itors who are under the leadership
Of Cowboy" Ogan, stormy petrol
OF Hidalgo athletics. The main
spring OF the Firemen quint Is Trig
Winningham. Amply aided by his
brothers and other good cagers,
Trig has been running rife this
season. III you were In the Valley
some eight years ago. you viii
remember a strong Edinburg high
quint which made a real bid for
the state title. That was back In
the days when FL PaSo was very
much in the limelight. The VIM
bingham brothers were the chief
cogs IN that strong little Edinburg
quint.
The McAllen Monitors have been
the sensation OF the upper bracket.
After getting away TO q somewhat
shaky start. they have rounded
into shape we'll and have suffered
but one defeat. That was to the
Edinburg Firemen. In their sec
ond encounter they took the meas
ure Of the Edinburg BOYS. So YOU
see its about an even break between
the two. Former McAllen high
stars-Dogr Ramsey, Overstreet
and their cohorts and Geo. Vest
are what have made the McAllen
squad a serious threat. IN an extra
schedule game, the Monitors push
cd the Methodists the limit 70 win.
The round-robin schedule was
decided upon at a meeting in Har-
lingen Monday night. McAllen and
Edinburg voted In favor of holding
the meet at san Benito. Harlingen
held out for q home-and-home
basis. San Benito. the proposed
host city. remained silent. A par
tial compromise was then suggested
and agreed 20 by McAllen and Ed
inburg. Since the Methodists have
indicated that they would not en-
ter the round-robin but II Is
sincerely hoped that they will re-
consider their stand and enter.

HAMBURGER, kR0sKEY DISCOVER PAY STREAK
 WEST CACHE CREEK

Matt Hamburger and Joe Kros- key have discovered the pay streak on Pass Creek, 20 miles west of Cache creek, according to informa tion brought out by Charlie Har- per, big operator with Albert Mur- ray on Cache creek.
 According to reports brought in by Hamburger, after seasons prospecting on two claims on Pass, the ground samples 10 cents per foot, or $2.70 a yard. is from three to four feet in depth, and sufficient holes have been sunk to determine $60,00 in sight.
 With the spring crust, the part ners will transport a hydraulic plant from Cache Creek to the scene of the find, and, after taking out ditch, will begin mining. That the find Is considered i'm portant by Hamburger is evidenced by his passing up leased ground on Dollar Creek which paid him ap- proximately $16 per man during the past summer.
 Hamburger and Kroskey staked Pass Creek last March and April,
 taking in the old George Irwin ground, abandoned because of sick ness after two pits were taken out along the rim near Emma Gulch, which paid from one to one and a half ounces to the box length.
 The region where the strike was made was stampeded in 1904, but as Cache Creek was In its zenith of richness. little prospecting was done further west, miners confin- ling themselves to small pups" from which something like $50,000 was extracted. the big creeks being left to those like Hamburger being left mine their possibilities.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Human beings seem to be loaded
with lot of impulses Which either
have to be depressed or thrown bodily
out of the system. Society has no way
of taking care of all the aberrant i'm
pulses of SO many different individuals,
Repression doesn't seem to work very
well. You may subdue an impulse
temporarily, but never permanently.
It's what you call "eating crow" in
everyday life. The result of repression
is that you are always in danger Of
attack of mental indigestion.
Under normal conditions the average
individual may work of these impulses.
1t is possible to get them out OF your
system. In fact, Dame Nature seems
to have devised some clever mech
anisms for that purpose. Psychologists
group all such mechanisms under the
general name, "disguises."
Have you ever SurmiSed that you
dream lot Of these impulses out of
your system? Dreaming takes first
place among the mental DISCUSSES. At
least, while you are dreaming you hold
the center of your social stage and do
about as you please. That's why your
dreams seem so strange. Sometimes
you carry on to the extent of feeling
embarrassed when you look back over
what you have dreamed.
There is another disguise called
sublimation, which seems to work
pretty well. When you sublimate you
simply switch your impulses to some
useful work and proceed to get them
out of your system. You may then
look back upon some achievement.
