HUGE MOTOR BUS MILEAGE
I. c. c. Report Shows Excess Over
That of Railroads.

Railroad mileage has been surpass-
ed by mileage covered by motor
busses, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission revealed yesterday in pre-
liminary report on its investigation
into the motor bus situation. The com.
mission listed %, 1868 busses in opera
ton as common carriers in line and
terminal service, operating over
routes aggregating 352,800 miles, a
considerably greater mileage than the
combined tracks of the rail carriers.
The report made no mention as to
the possible need of regulatory legis-
Iation, the commission apparently de-
ferrfng it's recommendations until all
answers to it's bus and truck ques-
tionnaires are in. Its report was
based only on replies from l64 of the
176 class | line-haul railroads. whose
answers dealt with bus operation by
the roads and their subsidiaries and
by motor transport companies and in
dividuals in close proximity to their
lines

SCRAPBOOK bARES
STIRRING RECITAL
Story of President McKinIey's
Assassination and Roose-
veIt's Inauguration Revealed.

BUFFALO. n. Y, December 20
The stirring tale of the assassination
of President William Mckinley and
the inaugurati ton of President Iheo'
dore Roosevelt is unfolded through a
collection of newspaper clippings, pho
tographs. records and notes hidden
away in a big leather-covered scrap
book in the stately old home here of
Ansley Wilcox.
Mr.. Wilcox plans to turn the collec-
ton over some day to museum or
historical society, in order that the
true story of almost every interesting
incident of those exciting days may
be preserved. Some articles have been
painstakingly edited by Mr.. Wilcox,
who witnessed most of the events de-
Scribed.
Message From Roosevelt.
Few persons have seen the old vol
ume, as il is seldom brought forth
from its hiding place in the home
where Roosevelt. as Mr. Wilcox S
guest, was inaugurated President and
where he held his first cabinet meet
ing.
Perhaps the most valuable docu-
ment in the collection consists of three
sheets of ordinary yellow paper, on
which President Roosevelt scrubbed
the draft of his first proclamation as
President on September ID. 1901.
In a rough and jagged hand, it be
gins:

Eric Ha8enlacher Has Reached Peak Of Professional Billiards

New York. April .

 A placid disposition not easily ruff f'rd hY unexpected "broaks' at cru cial periods of his matches adds to inc smoothncss Of his play an es- sential factor for retention of the championship, said Peterson. who has officiatcd in @C9 matches with out dispute, including the last title contest in which Jake Schaefer was dethroncd by the German star.
 "Schacfcr and Edouard Horemans of Belgium, unquostionably are the most brilliant and spectacular play CTS in tho game" is peterson's opn- . ion. But both are tcmperamental. and their remarkable long runs may be suddenly Countcracted by slumps under unfavorahlc conditions.
 "Schaefer and Hagonlachnr were ! both tested in their championship match at Philadelphia. and it was i Hagenlacher who best survived the ] conditions. Tn the first five hundred ] point block. the German displayed | the nearest approach 10 perfect bill , lizards l have ever seen. He never committed q mistako--every carom was made off the two balls for posi- 1 tion that donot believe could have l been improved upon.

(BY NID LARSEN)

Paso Robles, Calf, April B. Who's going 10 win the National league pennant this year"
 "Wel, what are the other clubs doing?'
 And thus Bill Mckcchnic. canny manager of the champion l'itta- burgh Pirates, answered q question with question.
 Still. it must be admitted, he answered the question because, un- less the other -chasers of the National league have improved considerably, Pittsburgh looks to repeat. However, the Pirates have 1 farcd none too well in their spring ! training. The condition of tho club l is a matter of much concern,
 Mckechnies 1926 team is the team with which he won the worlds championship and, while it is true that three of his champions are not now in good condition, it is also true that out here on the coast Mckech- . nie has grabbed the two outstand- ing players the minor leagues have developed in a couple of years--Hal ! Rhyme, infcldcr. and Paul Wanor. ou'lielder, both purchased from San i Francisco.
 Rhyme and Waner not only have added lot of money to the box office receipts Of the training games. but they have shown such class that McKeChnie isn't losing sleep over the temporary indisposltions of Max Carey and Pie Traynor. who may not be able to start the season. Carey is recovering very slowly from an operation and Traynor wrenched his leg badly early in training.
 They'll be all right" smiles Nc ' Kechnie. What are the othcl teams doing"
 Pittsburgh probably will start the season with Rhyme on third, Wright at ehort, Rawlings at second and Grantham on First.
 Of course Rhyme is not Pie Traynor but his work in the ttelG and at bat is impressive and thus far he has held his own with tho three other members Of the infelt quartet
 In the outfold, Paul Waner, little shy, of course has been chas ing the flies. And at the bat h, has been walloping the bah in tn, same style that made him the bes hitter of the Coast league last year
 Cuyler is going great guns Big bee has been subbing for Barnhapdt who was rather badly hurt by bdl early in the training season. Mckochnie's pitchers are in fin shape. Vic Aldridge never looket better; Lee Meadows spent the win ter in Florida and Is as frisky as two-year-old; Ray Kremer has, i anything, found more speed; Ydc Babe Adams and Johnny Morriso, are burning them over. } For catchcrs, McKechnie still ha ) Earl Smith, Gooch and Spencer. l Punch-spced-p -pitching-Class. - Yes. folks what are the othc 5 teams doing?
