Dempsey Gets Backing

JEERED AS A Stacker" when he
crawled between the ropes with

the most unpopular pug IN Amer

nursed the Frenchman several
rounds and then dropped him, be-
coming in a few short moments the
most popular fighter in the Amer
ican history OF the sport. The same
thing, to a lesser degree, is likely
to be the lot Of Stribling when he
takes Der Make. These inter

strange effects on the fan.

ALTHOUGH they maintain q

popularity is dearly cherished by
TIC pugs. They like those cheers.
pY.pularity Is scarce and a very

Diamond Dust
BY 'LEB'

Our good friend DICK Niles, OPP
orator OF radio station KRGV in
Harlingen, had everything but good
words for our recent remarks about
the b-roadcastlng Of the ganls in
Ha-lingen cutting down attendance.
BY way or showing US our mistake
nc mentioned that 80 calls were
received Friday and Saturday az
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 we're not only made
by thss columnist but other in
dividuals VINO have the interest OF
the league at heart. He says that
calls are received every day with
reference 10 the games and that
they have been handling a goodly
number or reservations for each
game at home. Sorry. Dick, our
mistake, glad TO make tbs correc-
ton.
II appears as II 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
be-. talented clubs in the league
and a few Harrington individuals
are doing all thet can TO put the
club over. but fans from the Hub
City must realize that il takes more
than a few moneyed men to carry
over a ball club.
PIPKIN
Z. c. Bacon, franchise holder OF
the La Feria Night Hawks. an
nounced the appointment OF Ray
Pipkin as manager OF the club.
Pipkin has had a world Of baseball
experience and should be a great
asset to the club. Pipkin reported
Saturday and stepped on the
mound for the Hawks. giving the
McAllen nine a fancy trimming
60.
Men OF baseball experience who
have witnessed the playing OF the
league the past four weeks, say
that the valley League is now one
Of the fastest Glass ID organizations
in baseball circles. This statement
is undoubtedly true and rImors are
afloat that within the next few
weeks, baseball scouts from the
better leagues are contemplating
journeying down this way to look
things over.

UNIPS AND

We are beginning to believe that
the life OF an umpire and that OF
scorekeeper in the Valley league is
everything but pleasant. The UNI
pires have come in for more than
their share OF trouble all season.
and the scorekeepers likewise. Ball
players have given more than their
share Of trouble to both and should
realize that men acting in tN.lr
capacity call the plays exactly as
they see them. and not because
there is any personal enmity be-
tween the two.
PEAL RACE
The La Feria NighthaUks and
the San Benito Saints have been
giving the first division clubs quite
a tumble this past week. and pres
ent dope favors the Hawks to
capture the first half Of the pen
nant which comes to a close July

in the cellar have won five straight
contests and still have a mathe-
NAUTICAL chance to be on top before

cracked right hand. He tried 10 back

formed. In order 10 soothe the en-

to reverse it again when he got out
