Tucker Field
Will Be Tile
Drained Soon

In the past a rain here practi-
cally meant a postponed football
game, but such viii not be the case
next season. for Tucker field will
be tile drained.
The school board has asked for
sealed proposals on this work and
the bids are to be received next
Monday.
Tucker field Is one OF the best In
south Texas-except when It rains.
Long sheets OF water stand in va
rious spots. making play almost I'M
possible.
Next year all this water will be
quickly carried off. minimizing the
danger from rained-out games.
The water which stands on the
lower end OF Tucker field was en-
phasized last season by a play in
the Brownsville LAREDO contest.
John Joe Cara leaped high over
a Laredo tackler and came down
across the goal line in a sheet or
water. II looked more like the
launching OF a ship than the Scor-
ing OF a touchdown.

PERHAPS you too. are one or

what's more. Mr. Muldoon Is NOT
going to put Schmeling's name on

blenatic OF the world champion

TSK ,TSK. What a shame. And
to think, everybody in the world ex-
cept MI. Muldoon believed Schmel-
ing the champlon-and a worthy
one. All we have 10 do now Is 10
change our mind TO suit Mr.. Null
doom. Perhaps Muldoon was a
great athlete in his day: perhaps
he did make John L. Sullivan cut
out hard drinking: perhaps he did
make Jim Jeffries presentable in
fish and soup: perhaps he has done
innumerable things for the fight
game-but this last move Is a bit
too much even for the gullible
American public. Who cares how
many solemn announcements Null
doom makes 10 the effect Schmeling
Is not champion. Who cares
whether the German Dempsey's
name goes on the s~elf-serving Null

ated more 10 reflect glory upon

ing not only holds the title. but he
has convinced the fight fans he Is

succeeded in making himself APP

AUTO LEGISLATION
FACES ASSEMBLY
Virginia Lawmakers to Get
Taxation and Regulation
Problems.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, April 20.-Legisla-
ton related to taxation and regulation
of vehicles operated on the public high
ways promises to take a place beside
redistricting as one of the major prob
lens before the 1882 General Assembly
of Virginia.
While the campaigns for the Demo-
cratic nomination for seats in the SEN
ate and House will not be in full swing
until the entry lists close on June 3,
candidates are already devoting time to
study of problems to be encountered by
the successful candidates. In many
districts the Democrats nominate by
convention, as does the Republican
party, and a number of nominations
have already been made, especially in
the Southwestern part Of the State.
Many Auto Problems.
A canvass of members of the 1880
General Assembly, many of whom are
seeking reelection, indicates that gaSo-
line tax distribution, bus and truck
regulation, abolition of highway dis
tricts, safety and responsibility laws for
drivers on the highways, and automo-
bile license legislation will be phases of
the major subject of highways to claim
the attention of the 1882 1aw-maktng
body.
The redistricting problem includes
not only the necessary abolition Of one
congressional district, but a reappor-
tionment of seats in the Senate ana
House of Delegates of Virginia.
Other matters which the survey In
dictates will claim attention in 1882 in
clude stream pollution, sea food laws,
county government, workmen's compen-
sation and education, the latter with
especial reference to the equalization
fund. Legislative commissions are now
studying county government with a view
to recommending optional forms, and
the ACCESSIBILITY of creating an 1nsuT-
ance fund for workmen's compensation.
The question of gasoline tax dlStrl-
button. brought to the fore recently
by the State auditors charges that the
counties are violating the law relative
to use of their share of the fund, APP
pears to have many sides. A dednlte
movement for diversion of some portion
of the gasoline tax receipts to purposes
other than use on highways has al
ready been launched in some OF the
counties.
Use for City Streets.
Representatives from urban districts
in some instances have indicated they
will favor ALLEGATION of portion OF the
fund for construction of city streets,
and still others desire to continue the
distribution on the present basis, all OF
the tax to be used in building high
