^MT CLARK 4
ANNEXES POLO
TITLE SUIAY
Beat Huisaches 8 to 5;
Burt Voted Most
Valuable Player and
Stadler High Scorer
Hard luck rode with the Houston
Huisaches Sunday afternoon and
they lost the final game of the an-
nual Valley mid-winter polo tourna-
ment to Fort Clark by a score of 8
to 5 in one of the most thrilling and
brilliantly contested games ever
seen on the Fort Brown field.
Going into the seventh period the
score was tied with both teams play-
ing air-tight polo and indications
bright that the Houston four woi Id
cop the final game or at least hold
the hard-riding Clarkers to a tie.
In that session however Deke
Randolph playing forward on the
civilian team in place of Steve
Farish; confined to the sidelines with
a cold was hurled from his horse
and into an automobile on the north
side of the field. His nand went
through a headlight on the car and
was badly gashed.
He returned to the game after
several stitches had been taken In
the injured member but the heart
seemed to have been taken from
the entire team by his mishap and
the army crew piled up three points
and the margin of victory in rapid
succession.
With 60 seconds of the last period
yet to be pLayed White Rock prize
pony of the string of R. D. Farish. |
hit the sideboards and broke his
leg. The game was called at thr*
point.
The absence of Steve Farish gave
the Houston team a one-point ad- j
vantage over their army rivals hut
there their good luCk ended.
The best crowd of the entire tour-
nament drawn by the double mag-
net of a warm sun and promise of
keen sport turned out for the j
event.
Following the game the trophies !
were awarded by W illiam S. \\ e«t. j
local attorney. Fort Clark copped j
both sets of cups donated by the j
chamber of commerce emblematic of j
their titles of both the open and j
handicap tournaments. The most-goal
prize a wrist watch donated by a
Chicago jewelry firm went to Lieut.
Stadler. forward on the Fort Clark j
team while Capt. Burt No. 2 man i
for Fort Brown was voted the most |
valuable player to his team of any
individual playing in the tourney
and was awarded the desk set of
band-carved mahogany donated by .1
R. Frost cabinet maker of 1312
Adams street.
This award was made at a confer-
ence of the three teams' captains
represented in the tourney. The cap- J
tain of the Yellow Jacket team was
not present.

Hunting Season
Closes Tuesday
Tuesday Jan. 31 will mark the
close of the hunting season. The
“trusty 12-guage’’ will be laid aside
and the sportsman's interest will
thereafter center in fishing tackle.
The hunting season has been the
most successful in recent years local
sportsmen assert. Ducks and geese
which will start on their northward
flight in two or three weeks have
been very plentiful as were also the
quail on which the open season closed
January 16. Excellent bags of ducks |
geese quail and deer were secured ]
by the majority of hunters during
the season.
“The fishing will be better this j
year than ever before.” was the pre-
diction of J. H. Batsell. “The jetties
extending from Padre and Brazos
islands will be favored resorts for
many Valley fishermen this spring.
Good catches are now being made
and we are going to have plenty of
sport in the coastal waters.”
WEATHER SUMMARY
There was a very slight disturb-
ance over the upper Rio Orande Val-
ley this morning while barometric
pressure still continued moderately
high throughout the balance of the
United States and the Canadian
Northwest. Light to moderate snows
occurred within the last 24 hours in
the far Northwest. It was rather cold
in the northeastern states this morn-
ing. with temperatures somewhat
sub-normal also in the southeastern
states. Elsewhere in the country
temperatures were near the seasonal
average except above normal in
South Dakota Nebraska and Kansas
at the morning observation.

Connie Mack Will Sign
Star If Salary Is
Right He Says
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 30.—
Tris Speaker baseball's gray eagle
will be a member ci the Philadelphia
Athletics r.®xt season if . . .
If in this instance represents a
sum of money perhaps $5000 maybe
$1000u but if Connie Mack astute
manager of the Athletics and the j
sparkling center fielder can get to-
gether on the salary question local
fandom regards it as good as settled
that Speaker will roam in the Ath-
letics' outer garden the coming sea-
son.
Mack makes no secret of the fact •
that he wants the veteran badly to i
round out his outfield now that Ty
Cobb and Zach Wheat members of J
the club last year are gone. He
tried to get Speaker last year but
Tris h:.d made a prior promise to
the Washington club.
"I expect to be in touch with
Speaker by Tuesday" Mack said to-
day. ”1 leave for Florida Wednes-
day and I would like to sign him
for the Athletics before I get away.”
Speaker has accepted an invitation
to attend the annual oanquet of j
Philadelphia sports writers on Feb.
14 and. although Mack is warm on
the trail some of Tris’ friends think
he may hold off any definite deci-
sion until that time.

Joe Hauser after “convalescing”!
with Kansas City in the American
association for two years seems j
ready to take back his position at
first base for the Athletics next
spring.
Hauser came to the Athletics from :
Milwaukee in 1922. heralded as a fu-
ture great. He hit .323 his first
year and immediately established
himself in the Philadelphia infield.
The next year he continued to bang
the ball at a fast clip all the time
improving his play around the bag.
By 1924 he had earned quite a repu-
tation as a home run hitter and on
Aug. 2 joined the list or major
leaguers hitting three circuit drives
in one game. Then came a collision
et first in which Hauser suffered a
serious injury to his knee. It was
thought for a while thct ne would
never play again. He did. hut his
playing was far from the usual Hau-
ser standard. As a result he was
sent to Kansas City.
In the association Hauser gradual-
ly returned to form and Inst season
had a brilliant year all-rour.d. Con-
nie Mack grabbed him in the hopes
that he is again the Hauser of old.
Building Rip Rap
On Brazes Island
POINT ISABEL. Jan. 30.—Several
car loads of rock to be used for
rip rap to tie in the jetty at the
north end of Brazos island arrived
in Point Isabel last week. The rock
is being unloaded on the ferry boat
and transferred to the island. Ap-
proximately 400 tons will be used in
this work.
The object of the rip rap is to
prevent the tidal currents from cut-
ting off the north cr.d or Brazoj
island between the island ar.d the
jetty. During the recent heavy
norther a strong current was
formed at this place and the sand
washed out. When the work is com-
pleted the end of the island will be
well protected and the entire fk>w
directed through the channel.

Heavy Title From
Romero Rojas
MEXICO CITY Jan. 30.—l/P>—
Paolino Uzcudun Basque woodchop-
per today holds the Heavyweight
championship of Latin America at-
tained by the knockout route.
A relentless attack near the e d
of the third round by Uzcudun U .led
his Chilean rival Quintin Romero-
Rojas in their scheduled 15-round
encounter yesterday and the Chilean
was counted out.
The Basque had such a slight ad-
vantage in the first two rounds
that the knockout came with a sud-
denness which surprised the spec-
tators. Just before the volley of
blows which decided the match. Rom-
ero put up his hands to guard his
face. His body thus was left u\pro-
tected. Paolino pounded the Chilean
below the heart with a shower of
rights and lefts. Romero crumpled
and sank writhing to the canvas.
The Chilean was aggressive during
the first two rounds and courageous
to the end. The fighting was mostly
at close quarters. Although Romero
smashed several rights and lefts in-
to Paolino’s body he seemed un-
able to do any damage.

UNDY LOST IN
FOG NOW SAFE
—
Lone Eagle After Be*
ing Overdue Lands
In Venezuela
CARACAS. Venezuela. Jan. 30.—
(JP)—Venezuela today honored an
intrepid airman who. after a flight
over perilous mountains lost his
way in a fog. but despite these ob- |
staclea reached his goal.
Arriving at Maracay fifty miles
west of here ten hours after he
started from Bogota Colombia.
Charles A. Lindbergh’s first act was
to apologize to President Gomez for
having kept him waiting at the fly-
ing field. An anxious crowd had
awaited his arrival for two hours.
His flight covered 650 miles airline.
Lindbergh told the president that
after reaching Ortiz about 110
miles south of Caracas he ran into
a fog. He then lost his way. It
was growing late when he found the
coast at Higuerote. 100 miles east
of here and 150 miles from his des-
tination. Once he had found the
way he sped toward Caracas passing
over the city at 5:15 p. m. The
Spirit of St. Louis then followed the
concrete road from the capital to
the field.
Lindbergh landed at 6 p. m.. and
again as in the first flight of his
goodwill tour—from Washnigton to
Mexico City when he was lost in a
fog after leaving Tampico—he had
proved nimself to be an aerial path-
finder and conquered obstacles in-
I terposed by nature.
When the aviator apologized to
I the president for his lateness the
president replied that his only w:*h
was for Lindbergh to arrive safely
in order that he might welcome
him. President Gomez then em-
braced the airman and gave him the
decoration of the order of the Li-
berator. The president invited
Lindbergh to ride with him in his
car from Maracay to Caracas.
