SWAT KING
 IS MARRIED
 EARLY TODAY
Babe Ruth and Mrs. Claire Hodgson Wed in
 New York City

NEW YORK, April 17.-Less than an hour after daybreak this morn- ing, Babe Ruth, Swat King, was married in St. Gregory's Catholic Church to Mrs. Claire Hodgson, former actress and widow.
 A tiny group of early worship pers bent in prayer was in strange contrast to the boisterious, diamond personality of the Yankee slugger.
 The wedding was quiet and was conducted by Father William Hughes. Aside from the bridal party of half a dozen, there were less than 50 persons in the church which was only one-tenth full.
 After the ceremony, Babe prom ised the altar boys autographed baseballs then went into battery of cameras which boomed a greet ting. He stopped but a minute with the newspapermen and said he would take his honeymoon on the diamond.

WHITINSVILLE, Mass, April IT. Worlds records fail utterly to over-awe Joan McSheehy, 15-year- old swimmer of Whitinsville, who is the national womens backstroke champion.
 Twice this year she has bet tered worlds record time in back stroke events and twice this year She has equalled worlds mark. She won the national backstroke championship at the national meet in Chicago in March.
 This sort of thing is not wholly new to Miss McSheehy for she be- gan to win recognition three years ago as one of the best. of New England's women swimmers.
 Back in 1927 she gained public attention by taking the women's senior 1O0-yard back stroke title of the New England association of tho Amateur Athletic union, hold ing the short course record for that swim and gaining the junior 440 year freestyle title in the New England association.
 Standing out as one of her most brilliant performances since that time was her feat of May Is, 1928, in an exhibition backstroke event when she was credited with break ing six worlds backstroke records and establishing a seventh.
 Her time bettered the best pre- vious records for 200 yards, 500 yards, 600 yards, 700 yards, SoJ yards and 880 yards.
 This year Miss McSheehy first equalled the old mark of 33 2-5 5saconds for the 50-yard backstroke, then clipped 2-5 of second from this record
 Later she was credited with equalling her own 33-second time ever this distance and with cutting 3-5 second from the time of 54 3-5 seconds for the 75-yard backstroke.
 Miss McSheehy is a member of

HALF OF GAMES ARE POSTPONED
 MAJOR LEAGUES
Weather Tn Eastern Section Unfavorable on Op-
 ening Date
(By Associated Press)

The major league baseball got an even break with the weather yester- day on the opening day.
 Four games were played in the Middle West, with mostly unfav- crable weather conditions in the entire Eastern section.
 Only one half of the program of both leagues was played on account of rain and cold
 The biggest shock of the opening program was the records which show that the New York postpone ment was the first since 1909 when Brooklyn was kept from starting the game with the Giants at the Polo Grounds. The postponements were the first in either league since St. Louis experienced a streak of bad weather in 1927 against De- troit.
 Chicago put on big show with 10000 fans, record crowd packing Wrigley Field.
 The four games total attendance was 94,607 as compared to 1,517 on the openings last year.

TILLOTSON BILL
MAY BE VETOED
Pope's Amendment Said to
Be Very Objectionable
To Moody

AUSTIN, May. i6.-P-Scarcely
resembling its original form. the
Tillotson-Hubard motor registration
bill which passed the house last night
1884 after two days Of debate was
ready today To be sent TO the senate.
The measure as finally approved
Is topheavy with amendments, one
Of which was hailed last night as a
certainty that the bill would meet
with a veto in the governors office
if not removed either by the senate
or in a conference between the two
houses. Rep. w. E. Pope. Corpus
Christi. was successful in inserting
into the bill a provision that state
funds for road construction could
not be expended except through
agreement or county commissioners
courts.
This clause. stubbornly contested
BY authors Of the bill. will have the
same effect Is O. measure BY Rep.
Paul Finn. Sunset. which passed
both the house and senate only to
be d%isaproved by Gov. Moody. The
Finn bill stipulated that the high
way department could not reroute
roads passing through towns Of
more than 200 population without
the consent of the commissioners
court.
We've killed the registration bill
so let's adjourn" Rep. Harold KAY
ton. San Antonio. asserted after the
membership had ballOted So TO ~,
to sustain Pope's amendment
Rep. Leonard Tillotson. Sealy. said
he hoped the Objectionable feature
might be eliminated when the meas
ure comes before a senate-houS9
committee to adjust what differ
ences arise on the bill.
Pope was halted IN a second
amendment which would not allow
the highway department to route a
highway on any designation other
than that approved by counties at a
bond election through a ruling from
| Speaker Barron that the proposed
change could not apply TO a revenue
raising bill.

Plane Express Service Will
Aid Export And Import
Between u. s., Mexico

Establishment OF air express SER
vice between Brownsville and
points in Mexico and prospective
lower rates are expected TO greatly
increase import and export bus
mess between the two countries by
j. G.. PhiIen, Jr.. local customs
broker.
Philen has been spending con-
siderable time N Mexico discussing
the merits Of the new service and
reports that business men of that
country are greatly interested In
this newest transportation method
made possible by agreement be-
tween the Mexican Aviation COM
pany and the Mexican government
The following explanation OF re-
quirements OF the service Is made
by Philen:
shipments not exceeding IN
value SIS u. S. currency entering
Mexico will lose but one day at
the border. Shipments valued at
over SIS will lose two days. The
present rate on air express from
Brownsville to Mexico City Is pesos
$50 per kilo but II l. stated that
there l. a possibility Of a decrease
in this rate very soon.
Aerial express packages from the
United States 10 Mexico should have
their value plainly marked on the
outside Of package, when for
warded throughout the above agency
they should have the address OF
consignee in Mexico adding Care
Of j. G.. Philen, Jr.. Co., customs
brokers, Brownsville. Texas" When
the value Of the shipment is SIS or
less il is only necessary to inclose
packing list in duplicate. When
the value exceeds SIS commercial
invoice Of goods, vised by Mexican
consul at point or origin of ship
ment or nearest Mexican consul
thereto; a packing list in duplicate
and a copy Of the original bill of
lading or express receipt.
All the packages should be num-
bered consecutively; gross, tare and
net weights must be shown in
package when practicable as this
will facilitate handling: packages
must be wrapped securely and
strapped or wired and plainly
marked. Shipments may be sent
collect To broker for CARRYING
charges unless shipper has rrang-
ed beforehand with broker to take
up G. o. ID.
The same procedure Is followed
in shipments from Mexico to the
United States ave that all articles
capable Of being so marked must
be so marked in legible English in
dicating country of origin. when
the value of the package IS 500
or less only a packing list and
commercial invoice in duplicate,
showing values II. O. B. al origin
