tween the "fats" and "leans" at the

the Lower Rio Grande. The partici-
pants in this game are all star play-
ers with a world-wide baseball repu-
tation. As the managers of the dif-
ferent Texas league teams and some
of the national league teams wished
to be present when the. game was
pulled off with a view of securing
the services for this -season of the
best players the game was postponed
on that account;
