PALMS GIVEN
VALLEY TITLE
Jacksonites To Play Cubans
In Double Header
Sunday
(Bv Staff Corresnondent,


McALLEN, Aug. LA terIa has
given up the ghost after three un-
successful starts against the Me-
Allen Palms and has conceded the
Valley championship to Harley
Jackson's all-shadowing Trees.
The NighthaWks dropped the
thiTd game l4-l3 Friday evening
and decided 1t was no use contin-
uing the scheduled seyen-game
series.
This action completely rung down
the curtain on the Valley league.
Straight away, the Palms scned-
uled a three-game series with the
Vera Cruz Cubans for Saturday and
Sunday. The Cubans are a real
baseball outfit and they are de-
termined 10 avenge their recent
defeat at the hands Of the Palms.
The Cubans choked up in a winner
take-ail affair which the Palms
won-thereby pocketing a s700 gate.
Sunday afternoon the Cubans and
Palms will meet at Guerra park
and at night will clash under the
floodlights Of Legion park.
Il am sorry the Valley league
came to q close SO abruptly" Jack
son states. I'VE were getting the
best attendance in the Valley and
could have continued the season.
Also the Palms had several players
who could have been sold"

but a potato race. Approximately
90 horses will show in al.
One of the headline attractions
for the afternoon Is a polo contest
between Sid Berley's Harrington
mallet swingers and the Hidalgo
BluebonnetS. Rivalry between the
| clubs is at a high pitch due to a
Iprevious contest in which Harlin-
gen had to 90 an extra chukker TO
win two goals 10 one.
New Mounts
Members of the Hub City squad
have been developing plays for the
past two months, practicing regu-
larly. They have trained ten new
ponies obtained from the wirey
stock OF the LaSsiter ranch at Fall
frrrias. Mounts, so the critics de-
clare, are go per cent or a polo out
fit. and Harrington is going out for
better horses. The Hub City lineup
Sunday has been announced as Sid
Berry No. /, Avery Ingram No. 2,
Is. w. Batson NJ. 3, and Francis
Ingram No. 4. Charles Whitney and
BOD TAT are d~IJerIlateS.
Me1lbers of the Hidalgo team are
capable riders, good mallet handlers
and are unusually well mounted.
The Bluebonnets will use the same
line-uD which forced Harrington in

The program OF races should turn
up some fast action. There will be
a pony race. several events for
quarter horses as well as races over
tine distance for thoroughbreds. Ike
Conner and Jack Vineyard of Edin-
burg and Jack King OF Kingsville
have entered their choice mounts.
IComor has brought Button. sen Of
Sir Barton, Kentucky Derby win
ner, here for the races. Bar Phoe-
nix, holder of the Fair Park track
record, is another entry.
Roman Race
A Roman race. in which horses
are ridden in pairs, will be staged.
There are three entries in this
event.

Hurting Necessary

One OF the great contrasts In
baseball is found I'm the first and
seventh place teams OF the Nation
al league, the st. Louis Cardinals
and the Phillies. For a couple Of
years the Pills have been con-
sidered as a great team except for
its pitching staff while the Cards
have put mound work a bit above
the other departments OF play.
This year, a less lively ball was
expected TO bring some sort OF a
change in the results, but the
Pills continued to belt the ball at
a treat rate without getting any
whee in the standing while the
Cardinal hurlers have put st,
Louis TAR ahead.
