Arrangements for the proposed dou-
ble header between the Brownsville and
San Benito teams have been computed
and the two games will be played here
Sunday it was announced today. The
time the games will be called will be
announced later.

The Brownsville boys are determined
to take both of these games according
to reports from the practice field. Prac-
tically every man on the team has been
oat for practice every day this week
and a number of outsiders have been
on hand to help the players work out.
Practice is what the team has needed
for a long time and they should be in
good shape for Sunday's games.

English newspapers are praising the
work of Vincent Richards American
entry in the Wimbleton tournament for
the world's tennis championship to the
limit. There are not enough adjectives
in the dictionary to describe his su-
perb playing according to one writer.
“One of the greatest masters of the
game produced since the war** accord-
ing to one enthusiast.

“Too many stars is the latest diag-
nosis of the New York Yankee's ail-
ment. Miller Huggins has too many
pitchers all in the star class tsat they
don’t get enough work to keep them in
condition. Thia sounds plausible all
right but the Yanks seem to be get-
ting along prefty well in spite of this
handicap. Furthermore a good many
club owners would be delighted to be
aimilarly handicapped.
There ninv be something in the statc-
ment .however. There nre six star
pitchers on the Yankee staff. Mays
Hoyt Jones Pennock Bush and Shaw-
key nil dependable flingeis and if
they take turn about each would get
about one game a week. It is pretty
expensive keeping all these stars on
the payroll too but perhaps that is
better than giving some other club the
benefit of their services.
• • •
Tickets must be sold for the Dcnip-
sey-Gibbon* elnsh or the big fight
won't come off. and people won't buy
tickets fof the fight until they are
sure thnt it will coinc off. That is the
proposition thnt faces the Shelby and
Montunn promoters. Just now it seems
that the railroad is the only hope. If
the railroad will loan the money to pay
Dempsey and insure the fight then
the big fracas may come off.
• • •
We will predict however that a way
will be found and thnt the fight will
come off as scheduled by some means
or other. The Shelby fans have gone
too far to back out now. without los-
ing more money than they st nd to lose
if the bout is actually pulled.
• • •
Only two clubs in the Texas League
hnve so far requested a split season ac-
cording to reports from Dallas and at
least five clubs will have to be in fa-
vor of the split before it will be made.
Just now there are too mnny clubs that
still have a chance for the pennant at
least on paper to make the divided
season probable.
GIBBONS BEST
MAN MATCHED
WITHDEMPSEY
Outranks Ail Other Boxers
Who Hive Entered the
Lists Against the Cham-
pion. Hat Many Backers
NEW YORK June 29.—When
Tommy Gibbons St. Paul heavy-
weight. steps into the ring at Shel-
by. Montana July 4 against Jack
Dempsey the champion he may be
compared in some respects to “Gen-
tleman Jim” Corbett when that
dapper boxing wizard squared off
against John L. Sullivan at New
Orleans in 1892.
Gibbons' chances against Demp-
sey have been belittled by a major-
ity of the experts and indeed tne
Minnesotan hardly appears heavy
puncher enough to flatten the Col-
oradan. But like his middleweight
brother Mike. “The Phantom." Tom-
my is a master boxer cool in com-
bat always clever always fast and
a puncher of no mean ability.
At least a year older than Demp-
sey. an inch or two shorter and
really a light heavyweight. Gib-
bons may not be able to stand be-
fore the champion for 15 rounds.
Except in age—Corbett was much
younger than Sullivan when they
met at New Orleans—Gibbons and
Dempsey will be like "Gentleman
Jim" and "Terrible John L." in
that famous scrap of 31 years ago.
Sullivan's terrific punching pow-
er Uke that of the Dempsey of to-
day caused many a sturdy oppon-
ent's knees to quake when he thought
of it and many of them were de-
feated by fear before Sullivan laid
a glove on them. Not so Cork***!.
When Jim took his corner at New
Orleans John L. scowled shuffled
his feet and spat on the ring floor
his customary greeting. Jim laugh-
ad and chatted with ringsiders as the
gloves were being pushed upon hi*
hands. He paid no attention to Sul
imn.
Through the rounds as agile Jim
sidestepped Sullivan’s bull-tike rush-
es the champion became infuriated.
Came then the famous twenty-first
round. Corbet still strong and smil-
ing. The wear of the fight had told
on Sullivan he was angered but
even then had he been able to punch
Corbett solidly he would have re-
tained the title. Corbett landed
five crashing blows to the jaw.
Sullivan kept his feet but his
ayes began to roll. He was totter-
ing. Corbett measured his man.
The right landed on the jaw point.
Old John’s knees sagged and he
keeled slowly over.
The great champion batterer-
down of a hundred heavy-hitting op-
ponents had been defeated by a
master-boxer.
Dempsey as champion has never
mat a man as well-versed in the
game as Gibbons. Carpentier the
one-punch man could not evade the
Dempsey rushes. Bill Brennan was
more than once a punching hag.
Atrkward Billy Miske was another.
Willard stunned by the first of
Dempsey’s blows was an easy tar-
get until the end.
FAVOR AMENDMENT

SAYS DIZZY SPELLS
ARE DANGEROUS
SYMPTOMS OF HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE
■ i ■ ——
“It may be fatal to ignore the
warning which Nature gives when
she causes frequent dizzy spells."
said a well-known physician. "They
are often the only signals given to
tell us that the blood pressure has
been increased to the danger point."
And High Blood Pressure is a
condition not to be neglected. It is
itself a symptom of auto-intoxica-
tion (self-poisoning.) The heart in
its endeavor to overcome the bad
effects of the wastes that are pois-
oning the entire system pumps hard-
er and harder until the dangerous
condition of High Blood Pressure is
present. A scientific preparation
called Bi-a-lin has been recently
prescribed with remarkable results.
It helps Nature to free the sys-
tem of the poisons which have caus-
ed the heart to overtax itself in its
efforts to overcome their harmful ef-
fect.
The benefits reported from Bi-a-
lin have been so remarkable that it
was decided to put it up in conven-
ient tablets and make it available to
everyone without a prescription. If
you have dizzy spells nervous at-
tacks frequent headaches offen-
sive breath or constipation or feel
generally run down get Bi-a-lin at
once from any good druggist such
as Cisneros Drug Store and Mar-
tinez Drug Store.—Adv.

QUEEN THEATRE
One of the attractions hooked to be
shown at the Queen theatre is “Love
in the Dark." the new Metro photo-
play stairing the vivacious V’iola Dana.
Those who have seen the photoplay
pronounce it an extraordinary produc-
tion and one of the most enjoyable
comedy dramas of the present reason.
It is certainly a highly exciting moving
picture and in it the interest never
lags. Miss Dana fits into the part of
i the leading character excellently.
Throughout the acting is of a high
order.
“Love in the Dark." tells the story
of a girl who is adopted by a member
of a gang of crooks. She is engaged to
take care of little Red. a four-year old
youngster. Her natural curiosity leads
her to discover many things about the
woman whose ward she is; and the
plot complications enable her to ex-
pose a crook who is mulcting the son
of a kindly minister who has adopted
her and Red. Incidents of powerful
diama and situations of genuine humor
makes this picture a delightful on*
throughout.
INTEREST IN CITRUS
SCHOOLS IN HIDALGO
- I
(Continued from Page One)
extension service told the gathering
that the matter of eomniunity organi-
zation was an important one and would
be as useful in the making of citrus
industry profitable as it had been in
other ways.
J. W Kirkpatrick Hidalgo county
agent acted as chairman at the morn- j
ing meetings nnd as guide during the
work at the orchards. At several differ-
ent times during the day he was urging
the growers to **inix a little common
sen?e with the technical knowledge
gotten. ’
McALLEN' Texas Juna 2D.—A. P.
Swallow A. & M. extension horticul-
turist opened the Thursday morning
meeting. He told the visitors why the
citrus schools had been started and of
their work during the past two years.
“The chief reason prebahly” he de- •
dared “ was that we found them nec- I
essat.v nnd all growers approached on |
the subject welcomed them.
“Marketing after all is really an
outgrowth of proper cultivation and the *
production of high quality fruit. With
good fruit properly parked there is 1
no reason why the Valley should not
take its place among the chief citrus
sections of the country."
A brief survey of the rapid develop- [
ment of the citrus industry in the Val- .
lev was given by the speaker. The '
willingness of the extension service to
help whevever possible was emphasi-
zed by Mr. Swallow who assured his
audience that they would get “prompt
and efficient replies "and urged them
not to hesitate in railing on them for
practical assistance. j
E. W. Halstead of Mission rntoniolo- !
gist with the State Department of Ag- j
riculture. was the second speaker on
the program with a short address on
“Citrus Diseases and their Control."
Emphasis was laid on the gum diseas-
es in particular that type known as
... _i
trees in the Valley.
I>r. W. W. Yothers of Orlando Fla.
federal government entomologist dis-
cussed citrus insects and combination
sprays. Practically the same instruc-
tion given the glowers at the Camer-
on county school was repeated by I»r.
Yothers at the morning session. The
rust mite was discussed in detail.
Go to Donna.
Today the specialists are in Donna
for the second day of the Hidalgo coun- '
ty school and Saturday the series of
Valley meetings will come to n c!o*e
at Mercedes. The following program
has been announced for Donna and
Mercedes meetings:

patrick. Hidalgo county farm agent.

DITTMANN THEATRE
Mtnagcr Dittmann of the Dittmann
Theatre announces “Thg Leather

ning new fistic laurels in his battle
for fame wealth and the one girl. As
in the other stories of H. C. Witwer’s
series Reginald Denny popular and
virile Universal player will interpret
the stellar role.
There -is no gainsaying the fact that
“The leather Pusheis” scries is the
most popular short length features
ever shown in this city. What Kid i
Roberts is going to do in the next
“round” is looked forward to with in-
terest. However the beauty of this
series is that each one is complete in
itself. If you miss one you can go on
with the rest and not be wondering
what it is alt about.
Denny and Hayden Stevenson ns
the Kid’s manager together with Har-
ry Pollr.rd the director are giving en-
joyment to thousands.
NEW FORM'TRANSFER
CERTIFICATES USED
A new form of transfer certiCca.e for
use in independent school districts has
been piepared and issued by :ounty
superintendent Kennamer and is now
rca<ly for distribution. The new certifi-
cate is in the form of a contract
which is signed by the board of both
schools concerned lather than simply a
request for transfer which has proved
satisfactory in common school districts
but has been a source of trouble in in-
dependent districts where it had no
binding force.
Over $400 was refused schools to
which pupils had transferred in this
county last year by different schools
according to Mr. Kennamer. The new
form remedies two faults in the oI«J
system: it makes it necessary to se-
cure the consent of both school boards
involved and it is binding under the
law. just as any other contract against
the school fund.
Attention is called to the fact that
transfers must be made during the
month of July. Patrons can secure the
new form from the county superinten-
dent or from the school board of any
independent dist|ict.

That there are prospects for the in -
stDilution of a municipally owned light
ami water plant at Mercedes and a water
plant at McAllen is evidenced by the
events of the past week in those two
cities.
By a unanimous vote of the Mercedes
City council at their regular meeting
Monday night. June a bund election
for an as yet undetermined amount of
bonds was ordered for Saturday August
-I. to determine whether or not the city
rtf Mercedes shall issue bonds for the
purpose of constructing and operating a
municipal light water ami power plant.
All memlicrs of the city council were
present at tlji~ meeting with the excep-
tion of Councilman Ilrysdalc. The mo-
tion to ibis effect was made Council-
man Ben Brook* and seconded by Coun-
cilman Snladiuo.
'Ibis action was taken by the council
over the protests of represent alive* of
the Morrison-McCall syndicate who
were present at the meeting and stated
that they were doing all in their power to
immediately better and improve the light
and water service of the city.
