BROWNSVILLE - "No champ-
ion*—-all fighters” will be the key-
note of a 32-round boxing card to
be presented at Fort Brown Mon-
day night beginning at 8:30 o’clock
in the open air arena situated on
the “horseshoe” island.
Chaplain Shults, the man behind
the fight game on the government
reservation, has lined up a program
of fights between Fort Brown and
Valley battlers which is certain to
attract the fans from the lower (lec-
tion of the Valley.,
Two six-rounders will headline
the program, pitting outstanding
Fort Brown boxers against Brown-
sville snd San Benito competition.
The bout likely to attract the most
attention will be a rematch between
"Killer” Guzman of Fort Brown,
Valley Golden Gloves champion,
and Pete Hermosa of Brownsville.
■ In the previous battle, Guzman got
the decision amid booes. and Her-
mosa has been asking for a return
bout since that time.
The other six-rounder will pftr
Blackie Knox. San Benitan. against
K. O. Garza of the post Garza is
a steady scrapper and is well
thought of by the Post and Browns-
ville fans. Knox comes well recom-
mended as a battler who likes the
going when It is tough. There is a
strong possibility. Chaplain Shults
says, that this bout will steal the
show Monday night.
One of the five four-rounders cer-
tain to attract attention will be the
battle between Speedy Stewart of
Fort Brown and K. O. Davis of
Brownsville. These boys are gun-
ning for each other.
The 12th Cavalry band, one of
the best organizations of its type

By SCOTTY RESTON
WIMBLEDON, Eng. (JP) — The
United States and Great Britain,
playing spotty and sometimes hi-
larious tennis, split the fint two
singles matches of the Davis Cup
challenge round Saturday.
Sleek, dark-complexioned Henry
Wilfred (Bunny) Austin, main hope
of the defending British, soundly
whipped Frankie Parker. 21-year-
old youngster from Milwaukee, 6-3.
6-2. 7-5, in the opening match; but
Don Budge, the "red terror" from
Oakland, Calif., tied up the series
by subduing young Charles Edgar
Hare after a weird first set, 15-13,
6-1. 6-2.
This even division, confidently
predicted in advance by the ex-
perts, left the rivals exactly where
they started and America’s cam-
paign to regain the cup for the first
time sinde France lifted it at Ger-
mantown. Pa., in 1927, no farther
advanced than before.
American supporters, however,
are counting definitely on picking-
up the two points still needed in the
doubles on Monday and in the fi-
nal two singles matches Tuesday
when Saturday's pairings will be
reversed.
The Milwaukee youngster, named
as a replacement for Bryan M. (Bit-
sy) Grant of Atlanta, never had a
chance against the machine-like
Austin, whose tennis reputation has
been built mainly on his remark-
able exploits in Dr ’is Cup compe-
tition.
All the excitement of the first
day's play was furnished by Hare,
a big, handsome southpaw. Given
not a chance against the brilliant
Budge, the young Briton had the
gallery sitting in wide-eyed amaze-
ment as he carried the fight to the
red-headed Californian from the
outset and yielded finally through
sheer exhaustion rather than to
the American’s superior play.
Out of the first day’s play
emerged the conviction of some ex-
perts that this challenge round
can’t be conceded to the United
States unless Budge plays better
tennis on Tuesday against Austin
than he did in the first set against
Hare.
“I just couldn’t get along.” the
red-head said after the match.
After taking the Sabbath off, the
teams will return to the courts
Monday at 3 p.m. (9 a.m. Eastern
Standard) when Budge and Gene
Mako tackle C. R. D. Tuckey and
F H. D. Wilde in the doubles.
The Americans are favored to
win this and thus go into the final
day with a 2-1 lead.

Fish Rodeo Intereat Mounts
From what we can learn, the Rio
Grande Valley Fishing Rodeo to
be held at Port Isabel August 4 to
8 will be a bigger success than any
of the previous events.
Newspapers all over the country
have carried many articles telling
of the popular event and fishermen
from various sections of the United
States have written in requesting
information.
There will be plenty of up-state
sports writers on hand to get in
some fishing as well as cover the
event for their papers. Among
those who have requested reserva-
tions are, Andy Anderson of the
Houston Press. Dick Freeman of the
Houston Chronicle. Ward Burris of
the San Antonio Express and Ray
Osborne of the Dallas News. Others
are expected.
It is very doubtful if many Valley
folk* really realize how much val-
uable publicity this fishing rodeo
gives the Valley. We believe no
other event held in this section
compares with it.
Whether you agree or not. the
rodeo is a Valley event even if it is
held at Port Isabel. For that rea-
son the entire Valley profits from
the publicity which is as ft should
be.
For the fint time since the rodeo
was started, many out-o£-Valley
boats will be on hand with their
owners contesting for the valuable
awards. It is reported that many
of the boats coming in are large
enough for outside fishing which
means that sailfish and marlin will
probably decide who will be the
1937 champion.
One thing that has brought smiles
to the faces of the rodeo committee
is the manner in which Valley folks
have responded to the drive to raise
funds to finance the event Several
cities have raised their quota al-
ready and are continuing to make
donations so there will be no short-
age of money available for the
many expenses.
It is expected there will be more
Valley contestants in the rodeo this
year than ever before for there is a
class for jetty, small boat and pier
fishermen and fisherwomen.

NEW ORLEANS (U.R) — Charley
Eppling, encouraged seven years
ago by a friend to take an active
part in gymnastic*, today is an out-
standing performer.
"Alley Ep,” a* he is known in
sporting circles here, has won every
Southern A.A.U. rope climbing
event here since 1930.
In one of his recent contests at
the New Orleans Athletic Club,
Eppling led his nearest opponent
by 188 points, winning the all-
around gymnastic championship of
the south.
Eppling took up rope climbing
in 1930. He won his first year, and
since that time he has won the
championship rope climbing con-
test seven consecutive years.
The all-around events include
side horse flying rings, horizontal
bar, parallel bars and the long
horse.
“I only go in one contest a year."
Eppling said, “the rest of the time
I practice.”
A former Tulane University foot-
ball captain, Harry Gamble, himself
an expert gymnast, is responsible
for Epplings series of victories.
"Harry got me interested in gym-
nastics and I have been interested
ever since.” Eppling said.
Epphng’s repeated victories over
younger competition indicate it may
be some time before he retires.

tion.
The press facilities include work-
ing space for four nr five report-
er*. A sound-proof room atop the
main bleachers provides facilities
for the announcer on the public ad- i
dress system.
The loud speaker arrangement
will be welcomed by the fans as it
will enable them to know just what
is taking place without straining
their eyes at identification num-
erals on uniforms and in line-up
cards. All they will have to do is
watch the play, and the announc-
er will round out the facts for them.
The senior class last year sup-
plied half the cost of the loudspeak-
er system and the senior class thir
year likely will supply the remain-
der.
The pep squad concession stand,
situated at the entrance to the main
bleachers, is well equipped and will
provide funds for football activities
during the coming season. It is plan-1
ned to finance the annual football
banquet with funds from this
source.
These additions doubtless will at-1

ALEX MORRISON says:
Very few golfers know what
they do with their hands. This
cover* the position of the hands
on the club and the movements
performed by the hands during
the swing.
It is rather difficult for any
player to know definitely what
movements his hands go through
in making the swing, but every
player should know whether or
not his hands remain in their orig-
inal position on the club. They
should know that, but they don’t
Not one player in a thousand
keeps track of his grip on the club
from start to finish In the swtng.
This la hard to believe because
the hand* are always in mind and
so much fuss is always being made
about them.
Here is an example: the aver-

change In the very first move he
makes in taking the club back
from the ball. Obviously thia re-
sult* in leas of control over the
club and the wrong direction in
the flight of the ball. The swtng
becomes a regular struggle for
control which cannot be regained
after the hands have changed
