PREDICTS
g. YEAR DELAY
FOR TRACK PLAN
Scores Belts Maneuver to
Effect Elevation Between
Pratt and Tenth.

Elevation of the Belt Railroad
tracks, a measure declared neces-
sary for proper expansion Of the
south side, may be delayed three
years, was the opinion today of H.
G. Wray, track elevation engineer,
who will become city engineer Of
South Bend, Ind, Jan. A..
"A bluff to take the public's at
tention from delay in south side ele-
vation," was the way Wray char
acterized the Belts to
effect elevation between Pratt and
e. Tenth SITS.
Sees Law Ignored
Wray said he opposed the eleva-
ton contract, which he said vas
drafted by the Belt and approved by
the board of works. because it will
enable the railroad company to halt
elevation for many years.
Through a clause in the track ele-
walton agreement. the railroad com
pany is forced to begin elevation
only thirty days after final consum-
nation of the flood prevention agree
ment. This agreement, as I pre-
dicted, is now tied UP in litigation
Wray said.
Charges Illegal Buy
At a hearing in Circuit Court be-
fore Judge Harry o. Chamberlin
late Wednesday, County Attorney
Russell J.. Ryan charged that the
city illegally purchased land along
White River for use in the flood
prevention program. The city is at
tempting to have the county council
and commissioners meet and APP
propriate approximately $4,000 for
acquiring land for the flood project.
Ryan probably will file an answer to
the city's request late today.
Ryan asserted that land bought
by the city from the Crescent Paper
Company really was owned by
Reede, Hase and Caller and N.
Schussler, two packing concerns,
The county also alleges that too
much was paid for the land.
Court Hats Bids
Litigation, instigated by Louis
Brown Jr., as a taxpayer, and alleg-
ing Irregularities in advertising bids,
resulted In an order Friday from
Judge James M. feathers, Superior
Court One, restraining the board Of
works from opening bids.

Yankees, relic OF a once proud ball
club, were headed west today be-
hind the general conviction that
the New York dynasty of pennant-
winning teams is at an end. The
reign will die with the Yankees and
their demise is none too distant.
The first gesture of capitulation
was registered yesterday when
Everett Scott failed to appear in
the lineup for the first time since
June 20, 1916, playing 1907 con-
secutive games. 1t was said thai
Scott felt ''indisposed.' but tina
was official holxum. The truth IS
that Scott no longer can get off his
own instep and Yankee pitchers, al
legged and otherwise, virtually de-
manded his retirement.
Scott was one Of the disintegrat
ing spots in the machine that won
remnants in 1921, 1922 and 1923
Another is furnished by the very
pitchers who were so loud in the
complaints against him. Shawkey
