MEXICAN OIL LAW
 REVISION DOOMED
House Of Deputies Passes Gales
 Amending Articles

Mexico City, Dec. 27 P,-Thc house of deputies has passed the first reading of q bill sent by Presi- dent Gales amending articles four teen and fifteen of the Mexican oil regulations. The articles will be amended in accordance with the re- cent supreme court decision in the Mexican Petroleum company case.
 The amendment if passed by con- Sress would definitely remove the main, objection by oil companies to the oil law since it would do away with confirmatory concessions Cor fifty years in exchange for rights ac- uuired by oil companies before May first. 1917. .~. .,.
 The utmost importance Is attached to the Gales proposal which was sent to the deputies through the de- partment of interior.
 Ia note to the deputies President Gales reviews the Mexican Petro- lcum company case and the decision of the supreme court granting an injunction restraining the depart ment of industry. commerce and la bor from cancelling certain of the companies drilling permits. He says that the main view of the court Is that the Mexican Petroleum com pany could not have applied for the coniirma tion of it's previously acquir- ed rights without the removal of the objectionable restriction which i'm paired the company's patrimony and was imposed by article fourteen Of the law issued December 26, 1925.
 Gales adds that the supreme court ruling creates an abnormal situation. the executive being unable 10 ap- ply the oil law uniformly. He con- flnues that the benefits of the rul- ing must reach all companies and individuals even those who have al- ready complied with the provisions Of articles fourteen and fifteen.
 As the supreme court decision establishes the unconstitutionality of certain points Of the oil law. Gales proposes this amcndment:
 Article fourtecn-Therc shall he confirmed without expense by means of concessions the following rights:
 "Onc. Those derived from lands on which exploitation works were commenced prior 10 May 1, 1917:
 TWO. Those derived from con- tracts made prior to May l, 1917. by owners of the surface or persons un- der contract to them for the purpose of oil exploitation;
 Three, To owners of olcoducts

That's the breaks Of baseball
and mighty tough ones, too. OF
course the Browns didn't figure as
strong pennant contenders. but the
very things that have happened to
them also happen to other clubs and
ruin all their chances. Take Wash
ington for instance.
Two weeks ago they looked like
coming champions. Then Walter
Johnson got a crack on the shins
and pulled up a broken bone in his
leg. He'll be out of the game for
the first few weeks OF the season
and Bucky Harris will have just
that much tougher time keeping UP
there. Bucky himself has injured
his finger. Iris Speaker twisted
his ankle by stepping into a hole
in the outfield. Sam Rice strained
his hip while racing out a hit. So
It goes for the breaks.
That's what mean when /
say that anything can happen
in baseball and that's why il
is foolish to try and pick win.
HeI.s in April. 1t just can't be
done. About all any club can
do Is dig in and play ball, and
hope for the best.
What I'm most interested in right
now is the young ball players.
They're the chaps who will tell the
story Of this pennant race. and a
lot of others in the future. And
in that respect I figure the Yankees
are pretty lucky. We have the
best looking outfit Of kid ball play
ers in camp this season that I've
seen in many moon. Not all Of
them will stick this year. Of course.
But they'll be back. And some of
the kids that we send out to the
