1.-TWO former Washington
pilots, Stanley Harris of
Detroit, and Owen Bush
u of Pittsburgh, are grow
ing gray and developing wrin-
kleS as a result of the problems
confronting them this Spring.
Bush is experiencing so much
difficulty in molding a smooth
working infield for the Pirates
that they are likely to drop out
of the position of contenders
accorded them by the experts
at the outset of the training
season, leaving the debate
centering around the Chicago
Cubs and New York Giants.
Harris is having an even
tougher time of it, however,
and in view of the latest adviceS
from the coast is likely to be
confronted with that most
hopeless of all base ball prob
lems-a dissension-ridden club.
Harris discovery that Heinie
Soluble, the high-priced minor
Lacquer, won't fill the bill as a
ShortStopper and his resultant
decision to play second base
himself and Shift Gehringer to
short is a bad blow in itself.
Gehringer is just about the
best keystone guardian in the
circuit, BETTER even than Harris
was when he was plotting the
Griffmen to pennantS. Bucky
is far from being a firse-class
performer afield now, however,
and Gehringer, despite his class
on the other side of the middle
cushion, will be merely an ex-
pertinent at short.
How Heilmann Figures.
This infield problem is mild,
however, compared with the
fact that he thus far has
proved unable to make his
athletes behave during off
hours, and the mentioning of
Harry Heilmann's name in
connection with that situation
is highly significant.
The value Harris placed on
Heilmann's good will was IL
Illustrated when the question of
the ex-Griffman plotting the
Bengals first was preached.
Bucky'S first act was to get
in touch with the Tiger veteran
and explain the situation.
What Harris said was some
thing to the effect that he had
a chance to get the manager
ship, but wouldn't even con-

Others Are Threatened With
Heavy Fines-Bucky Plans
to Play Second.
BY the Associated Press.


DHoENIx, Ariz, March 28.-Re-
ports that Manager Bucky Har-
ris of the Detroit Tigers would
i ask for waivers on Harry He'll
mann, star outfielder, because of
his failure to observe training rules and
regulations, were circulated today.
Heilmann was benched during exhibit
ton games with Coast League teams,
the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Several other Tigers have been called
on the carpet for attractions Of training
rules. AS a result Manager Harris was
reported to have declared that further
violations would bring heavy fines.
When the Tigers open their season in
Cleveland April Is it is likely that
Harris will be in the game. Soluble
has not come up to expectations at
shortstop and the inner defense has
lacked leadership, so Manager Harris
virtually has decided to play second base
himself. Gehringer is to be tried at
short under the plan.

EXPECT VALLEY
SET RECORD
Over $4,000 Cars to Move
This Season, Is Predic-
ton of Shippers

Shipments from the Valley this
season may exceed the $4,000 car
forecast Of the early season, accord
ing to shippers who state that the
volume depends largely upon mar
ket conditions. Approximately 10000
cars have been shipped, not includ-
ing the express and truck move
ment, which has been heavier than
in any previous year.
The potato, bean and onion move
ments are now near the peak, and
carrot and beet shipments are hold
ing approximately the same as
throughout the past three weeks.
BY May ] the shipment Of early to-
matoes will be in full swing, with
corn and melons coming On later.
Anise, broccoli, pease, peppers, egg
plant and other commodities are eX-
pected to be shipped in greater vol
ume during the late spring months
than ever before, as the upper Gulf
section. due to the late freeze. will
not get into the deal until two or
three weeks later than usual.
With over $500 acres planted to
tomatoes. shipments are expected to
break all previous records. The
movement from the Mexican west
coast has been light. due to revolu-
ticnary activities in that region, and
the Florida crop is not up to the
usual standard in either quality or
quantity. East Texas will be late
in getting into the deal, indicating a
long season for the Valley tomato
growers.
The slump in the cabbage market
proved a serious blow to the Valley
and is expected to cut total ship
ments between 1000 and 1000 cars.
South Carolina is moving cabbage
in heavy volume and shippers do
not anticipate much improvement
il the market.
One Of the outstanding features of
the season has been the steady in
crease in mixed a shipments, ap-
proximately 1000 mixed cars having
been moved, most of which have
gone into the smaller markets. With
the advance Of the season and a
wider range Of commodities avail
able mixed car loadings have shown
a decided increase, ranging from so
to 80 cars daily. with San Benito
the heaviest loading point.

Adding the third new 22-paSsen-

in the Valley, the Missouri Pacific
Transportation company has COM
miSsioned one Of their large stan
dardized models on the Brownsville
Mission route.
The new bus Is similar to two
recently added and was built es-
peclally for the M. p. bus lines.
These are highly upholstered and
give the maximum Of comfort with
individual seats. l.. c. Fitch, super
intendent, states.
The new buses being sent here
are part Of a replacement program
and new rolling stock will continue
to be added to the Valley lines from
time to time. Old vehicles are being
sent TO Little Rock. Ark. shops to
be scrapped or completely rebuilt.
In an effort to better the service,
z petition is pending before the
railroad commission seeking to
make use Of the regular M. P. de-
pots in the Valley instead Of the
branches established by the Black
Diamond Bus line. This move
would add to the comfort of those
waiting for cars. Fitch states.
Another objective sought by the
company is an adjustment on the
charges for 8 small express service.
This also will have to 60 before the
