Rv HAL El'STALE
The Edinburg Firemen and the
Harlingen Methodists continued
their undefeated marches toward
Bracket championships of the Val-
iev Amateur Basketball league Fri-
day night. The Firemen defeated
ihe ruuner-up in the upper bracke’
by a score of 36-25. The Metho-
dist's again scuttled their fellow
citizens the Foraker's Clothing en-
try. 33-20.
While the Firemen wfexe knocking
Ihe Edcoach basketeers down the
percentage column Dick Hoiu-
buckles Donna cagers assumed the
p06t of upper bracket runner-up by
defeating Raymondville 33-20. The
Donna boys now have a record of
i'our wins against one loss.
Brother Act
Sebastian continued to hold out
r.trongly as runner-up in the lower
bracket by defeatui? Fort Brown
: 0-11. Led by the two husky Ny-
»iuist brothers these basketeers
jrom the sandy land hava lost only
«»ne game while winning live. The
Harlingen Methodists are the only
ones who have been able to head
ihe Sebastian boys this season. The
Nyqulst brothers are the backbone
of the quint. They utterly ruined
Fort Brown's passing Friday night.
There was no change in the low-
er bracket standings Model Laun-
dry held on to third place by down-
ing Rio Hondo 21-13. thereby over-
coming their old jinx The Kachtl*
ho-s are the only ones who have
taken a fall out of the Cleaners this
reason. The Brownsville Junior
College Scarps and Gan Benito con-
tinue to split fourth pace. They
were to play Frday night but the
game was postponed. These quint*
will get together at San Benito Sat-
urday night This looks like a great
triune. Both clubs are going strong
and either may give the Harlingen
Methodists some trouble before the
xcason is out.
Standing* Shaken
Foraker's sunk to a .400 mark by
virtue of their defeat at the hands
of the Harlingen Methodists. This
was a lively scrap and a large
gathering of fans was on hand to
witness it.
The st and mgs were considerably
.shaken up in the upper bracket.
Donna leaped from third to sec-
ond place. McAllen slid up several
notches to take over third position.
The Mack Insurance men defeated
Pharr 19-6 to turn this trick.
Mcrcede- got *<oir.g to down Prog
reso 26-17. The .core stood 11-9 at
ihe half. Healey of Mercedes aud
Lane cf Progreso tied for high point
honors each looping eight points.
Grisham of Mercedes was close be-
llied wi»h seven. Mercedes is now
giving indication of power r.nd may
be figured as very much in the run-
ning.
Feature TiHs
Pharr. Progreso and Raymond-
vi e are on the bottom. The other
timer-bracket team:/ bloated per-
centage marks ha-*?* been made at
the expense of these three clubs.
Next Tuesday. Edinburg at Mc-
Allen looks like the feature contest.
Th° Mack Insurance boys under
Kcrley Jackson are going to make
n determined bid to put the skids
order the league leaders. On their
hc.ne court aud going good they
rry do it.
Tie loop leader in the lower
1 rdret will get together at Sc-
tfJmstlan. The Methodists may have
Considerable trouble with the run-
ners-up but will be favorites to cop.

Huge Italian Displays Much
Agility and Ability
For His Size
NEW YORK Jan. 25-wPi-Prlmo
Camera Italian giant knocked out |
Big Boy Paterson in one minute
and ten seconds of the main act
in Madison Square Garden last
evening.
A capacity crowd of 18.000 roared
like small boys at a circus as the
barrel-chested Camera handled the
blonde Scandinavian as though his
269 pounds were a mere feather-
weight.
Camera displayed amazing speed
and agility for his size. He also
exhibited a wide range of punches
in the brief period of action but
he could not fail to look impressive
against an opponent who was knock-
ed down four times for counts of
three eight four and ten from an
assortment of left hooks and right
uppercuts.
He took the final count while on
his haunches shaking his head
like a dog and pawing at his chin.
He was lugged to his comer with-
out giving any indication he knew
what had happened. Big Boy re-
mained seated for fully three min-
utes after the fight under the fren-
zied ministration of his seconds
who could not have been more im-
pressive if they had rehearsed their
part.

This season will be the first In

United States for the fourth time
in 1913 and It was 15 years before
the brilliant lfobby Jones came
along to equal this record of four
amateur crown*.
Travfrs’ last golf triumph * as the
greatest of all the open in 1915. a
notable achievement when it is con-
sidered that only three other ama-
teurs have won the open in its 35
years of competition. Travers stands
with Ouimet Evans and Jones.
The former champion his only 43
years old but his tournament golf
is 15 *ifars behind him. Nowadays
he plays only week-ends in infor-
mal club competition with a handi-
cap of five strokes in contrast to
the scratch rating of the day before
yesterday.
Instead of the birdies and eagles
his attention Is daily concentrated
on the terms of the cotton and
produce market and he has not.
seen a number of the first ranking
golfers of today.
His somewhat frail form wa* al-
most burled In a big leather chair

fice in the cotton exchange. Tire

”No. I do not play golf now that
Is serious golf.” he said "week-ends
in the summer I go out to upper
Montclair N. J. and have a eo-xi
time and sometimes a good round.
Occasionally I have a real score
but the tip-off on my golf now Is
that I am apt to vary ten strokes
ig two successive rounds. I think
I have a metropolitan handicap of
five now. and T can still break 80
but I would have no chance now
in a tournament.
"There is one extraordinary thin?
about my game. In one respect I
am better now than in the days
when I wws winning a few cham-
pionships. Then I was uncertain
ebifflt my woods and in the most
serious competition sometimes T
would have to report to an iron on
the tee Now I ran hit mv woods
