Baseball Training
COLLEGE STATION. Texas Feb. 12 —
-*he resounding crack of ash on horse-
hide is being heard daily down in Ag-.
gieland as -.the baseball graining season
in the Farmers’ cavr.p is now in full
swing. A few of the candidates had
been doing some preliminary training
prior to the beginning of the official
regular training season. Coach C. J.
Eothgeb sent out the call for all aspir-
ants to baseball fame to don the uniform
and report to Kyle Field for practice
last Monday. Thirty-five men were out
the first day.
HOUSE TO PASS
ARMY BILL SOON
Rivers Harbors Avi-
ation Approved; Final
Vote Tuesday
I WASHINGTON D. C. ‘Feb 13.—The
house virtually completed consideration
of the army appropriation bill today
approving $50000000 for rivers and
harbors $18060000 40* aviation and
funds to maintain the army national
guard and organised reserves at their
present strength. Final vote an the
measure was deferred until Tuesday.
While the Jbill .■was being discussed.
Representative Bacon republican New
York announced that he was drafting a
resolution for investigation into the
condition of . the array and would press
it unless the senate rostered the posi-
tions of several thousand noncommis-
sioned officers which otherwise would
be abolished by the Army measure.
“These non-commissioned officers
and privates first class" said Mr. Bacon
“are the-backbone of the army. To fail
to appropriate money to continue them
in rank would be a severe blow to the
national defense. It would take away
any incentive for a man to enlist as
there would be practically no oppor-
tunity for promotion.”
The appropriation approved today for
rivers and harbors $10000000 higher
than last year is to provide for inland
waterways development and surveys.
The house agreed to two additional
items for flood control $10000000 for
the Mississippi river and $400000 for
the Sacramento river.
Consideration of sections alloting
funds for national .homes for disabled
volunteer soldiers provoked a sharp
debate in whieh the subsistence pro-
vided in these institutions was attacked.

ed with the result that all three of
them individualy claimed the highest
average. Tp settle it they are going to
loojt up. sbnie of the pld files of The
Uerird which carried - complete box
scores of those games and settle the
argument. -
And they wagered—and this is what
they wagered: That the man having the
lowest average would be ticket taker at
the local ball park this season.
So when going in the park this sum-
mer one of the three will take your
ticket.
Edinburg and Harlingen
Edinburg and Harlingen have both
talked baseball—but as yet have not
entered the league. Edinburg seems
certain to enter and it is hoped that
Harlingen will do likewise. Harlingen
is a good baseball town and has many
loyal fans.
These towns and any others that wish
to make application for entry in the
league have until the 25th of this month
to do so after which time no more en-
tries will be taken into the league.

(Special To The Herald-)
SAN BENI'™ Texas Feb- 13—Poul-
try scV'-r’ ■ will be conducted at five
different places in Cameron county on
F*'1 ~uary 23 and 24 under the direction
of the Texas A. & M. college extension
service it was announced here by Coun-
ty Agent Henry Alsmeyer.
These meetings are planned in order
to stress the value of poultry culture
as an industry in itself and as a valu-
able adjunct to farming.
The meetings will be conducted in
such manner that any persons having
questions to ask may do so. There will
be an effort to work out the poultry
problem in the Valley and among the
important points that will be discussed
will be the proper feeding of chickens
and a discussion of the value of differ-
ent breeds and strains. The care of
. chiekens will also be discussed.
The first meeting will be held at
Stuart Place from 9 to 12 on the morn-
ing of February 23. The afternoon of
the same day from 2 to 5 a program
will be held at the Harlingen Fair
grounds and the same program will be
condiKted at the Los Fresnos commun-
ity house from 7:30 tolO p. m. on the
same day.
X
On February 24 a morning program
will be held at the Highlands school
house and an afternoon program will
be held that day in Brownsville at the
county court room.
Each of the programs will open with
a talk by County Agens Alsmeyer on
“The Place of Poultry on the Average
Valley Farm” and will be followed by
a talk by Mr. Glazeiver poultry special-
ist from A. & M. college. Miss Kate
Adele Hill county home demonstratioi
agent will then talk on **Tlie Woman’s
Poultry Program for Cameron County
in 1926” and a recess will follow. The
meetings will close with a talk by the
couqty agent on “The Farm Agents
Poultry Program for Cameron Countv
in 1926” and a round table discussion
of poultry problems.

t
good baseball park—they have a fairly
good graudstand and part of a fence
around the playing field. The grand-
stand will have the be remodeled to
some extent the grounds put in shape
and an enclosure around the grounds be-
fore they are ready to play.
W'ith an enclosure around the ball
grounds the gate receipts will double.
Devereaux to San Antonio
Jess Deveraux crack little third
baseman of the Brownsville team last
summer will display his wares before
the powers that be of the San Antonio
team of the Texas league next month
in spring training. Jess may not make
the Texas league grade but he will gfct
a lot of valuable experience and if he
shows enough class San Antonio will
get him a job playing professional baJl
in some lower class.
Here’s hoping Devereaux makes good
but you have to hit run think field
and do a lot of other things well nigh
perfect to make the professional grade.
Reports received in Brownsville this
week are that Kozelski first baseman
of last year’s Brownsville team is at
tending St. Mary’s school in San An
tonio and will probably make the ball
team there. He was a fair player here
last summer and one of the very no-
ticeable physical attributes of this boy
were his large feet. ’Tis said by mem-
bers of the club last summer that he
had to have his shoes made feut any-
how they came in handy when he
reached for the bag with his “dog.”

Neither of Net Stars
Mave Lost a Game in
Preliminaries
CBv The Associated Press.!
CANNES France Feb. 13.—Suzanne
Lenglen and Helen Wills after three
rounds played in the Carlton tennis
tournament both have reached the
quarter finals without the loss of a
game. Helen has granted her adver-
saries a few more points than Suzanne
but experts can give nothing in the
way of the comparative chances of the
two champions in their forthcoming
singles match set for 11 o'clock Tues-
day morning except that ?** iwo
greatest women tennis players have
styles almost as far apart as the north
and south poles.
Hard clean tennis on the courts to-
day came as a relief to the political
financial tennis which has been played
in the room of the committee during
the past few rainy days.
The battle for the filming rights and
for other concessions is apparently for-
gotten now that the meeting between
the French and American champions is
practically a certainty.
Both Mile. Lenglen and Miss Wifts
also made their way into the quarter
finals of the women’s doubles today.
S. M. U. WINS HARD
GAME FROM BAYLOR
DALLAS Texas Feb. 13.—Tied 13 to
13 at the end of the first half; then a
brilliant race to a final 22 to 21 score.
That epitomizes the thrilling nature of
the basket ball duel between Southern
Methodist university Mustangs and Bay-
lor Universiy Bears here tonight. The
Bears had the gloomy end of the score.
The victory placed S. M. U. into a tie
with Baylor for third berth in confer-
ence standing.
S. M. U. occupied themselves during
the last three minutes of play in'menely
trying to prevent the Bears from over-
coming the 3-point lead.
EDEN CHAMPION
SAN ANGELO Texas Feb. 13—Eden.
Concho county today won the high
school basket ball championship of four
counties by defeating San Angelo at
Miles 16 to 16. The game pla>’ed in a
high wind was unusual in that all
Eden’s points were scored by Bob Nails
right forward with eight field goals.

FORT COLLINS Colo. Feb. .1:1.—
Petting parties are “cheap" and drink-

passe co-eds from nine Rocky Moun-
tain universities and colleges decided
here today at a conference of associ-
ated college students.
Although they passed resolutions
condemning petting and drinking it

women students. Conference leaders
said the smoking problem was not
serious enough in this region to war-
rant any definite action.
EAST COAST WINS

SAINT AUGUSTINE Fla. Feb. 13.—
While ten world’s records fell in daz-
zling succession mermaids on the
East coast made an almost clean sweep

New York gained three new cham-
pions and retained a like number. In
addition the women’s swimming asso-
ciation of New York won the national
team crown and holds the title for
