Sending Rosenberg and Morreil
here is the outgrowth of the i'm
portant connections made by the
Indians when Owner Norman Perry
sold his smuggling fly chaser, Len
Koenecke, to the Giants for 1882
delivery. According to Perry, Ro-
senberg and Morrell do not repre-
sent part payment for Koenecke,
but merely are loaned to finish the
schedule under Pilot Emmett Nc
Cam.
McGraw Recalls Mooney
1t is presumed from statements
made that the Koenecke sale will
not be completed from an Indian
apolis standpoint until winter or
next spring, the agreement calling
for the Hoosiers to receive SIS, 900
in player talent, but no cash. John
McGraw recalled pitcher jim
Mooney, southpaw, nom Bridgeport
of the Eastern League today and
may recommend him as part of the
Koenecke purchase next spring.
Jack Hendricks, Tribe scout and
assistant to Owner Perry, was due
back from the east early this aft
ernoon and may bring news Of a
new inf1elder to fill in for Elmer
Voter, out with a broken leg. The
Giants were unable to help the In
dams on the innerworks, it is said.

Pitcher Russ Miller, highlander,
was released outright by the Tribe
today. He was picked up early in
the season when Columbus reduced

Talking
IT OVER
by JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Mr. John
Heydler, president Of the Ma
tional League, was talking about his
umpires at the Lido Club when the
baseball writers committed their an
nual outrage in the name of golf
the other day.
In one respect. Heydler wasn't doing
anything unusual because quite a number
OF people have been talking about his an
pires all season. But unlike most of the
others. Heydler was saying nice things
about his umDires.
IT'S competent staff and the men
have bee doing GOOD work" said Heydler.
and then he made an interesting observa-
ton on the game as It is played today.
You know" said Heydler. the new
ball we are using this year has made
umpirine much more difficult and in a
large measure accounts for the unusual
criticism We have had"
This was odd-iust how could the new
ball have anything to do with umpiring?
We'll you see it is this way continued
Heydler. there is more base stealing ard
that means more decisions to make. and

Wilkinson put up a great fight
against the tourney medalist and
was in front l up, when they round
ed the hallway mark. Wilkinson
had his baggage packed and was
checked out of the hotel before the
afternoon match, but showed every
indication of re-registering and I'M
packing. When they reached the
twelfth tee he was up.
Going to the eighteenth tee ne
still had a l up edge, but faltered
and it cost him the match. After
squaring the match on the final
hole, Heinlein proceeded to put an
end to action quickly on the first
extra hole.

COST AND MILEAGE
OF TIRES COMPARED
American Motorist Today Travels
221L Times as Far as he
Did in 1918.

The American motorist travels 22h
times as far for the amount expended
on tires as he did In 1918, according 10
l.. M. Simpson, general sales manager
of a rubber company's tire department,
discussing economic conditions and the
value of the dollar I'm other words,
said Mr.. Simpson, ut cost the motorlst
$l8 for tires per thousand miles back In
1918, while today he drives the same
distance at a cost Of only 30 cents
Discussing the saving to the Ameri-
can motorist in the matter OF tire costs
still further, Mr.. Simpson said: In no
field has the dollar spread out further
than it has in the tire business. Tires
today cost IS per cent less than they
did in 1926, and at the same time give
far greater mileage. while the average
cost of $50 other commodities is now II
per cent Of what 1t was in 1926. Fig
ures compiled by the Labor Department
of the United States Government show
that no other commodity has dropped
as much in price as have automobile
tires.
I'm the earlier days of motoring the
matter of tires was an expensive propo-
sition. Tires were costly, and the mile
age that they delivered was pitiably
small compared with the mileage given
by the standard tire Of today. For ex-
ample, in 1918 it cost the motorist ap-
proximately $3.50 for 5000 tire miles.
In 1921 tires had improved and the
prices changed so that for $41.s5 he got
5000 tire miles, while this year he Is
certain Of $4,000 miles at . cost Of only
$3.50.

TRANSPORTATION SURVEY
NEED SEEN IN ROADWORK
Waste Of Public Funds May Be
Eliminated, According
to Report.

Transportation surveys should be
the basis for all road construction and
road planning, according to reports
from the American Road Builders As
ISOLATION.
The procedure in making transpor-
tation surveys is to gather and analyze
all physical and financial elements
concerned in planning highway sys-
TENS and setting up an adequate
budget. Among the other factors con-
sidered are population and motor We
hicle registration trends and the
amount, weight and characteristics of
cargo and passenger traffic flow over
a SUFFICIENT period of time to reflect
peak and seasonal variations. This in
formation is divided according to areas
homog neous in character, with origin
and destination of vehicles recorded
relative to urban and rural vehicle use.
The possible development of industrial
or natural resources are forecast with
respect to trafic on the roads. Sources
and amounts Of highway income are
determined.
The purpose Of all this investigation
to find out where to build the roads
and what kind of road to construct is
to plan road improvement on a logical
basis, so that waste Of public funds
viii be entirely eliminated.

MOTOR BUSES FOUND
IN FEW ACCIDENTS
Less Than / Per Cent Guilty in
1880, Report Re-
veals.

While the total number Of passengers
transported by all classes Of motor
buses during 1880 was equivalent to
nearly 20 times the population Of the
country, buses comprised less than
per cent Of the motor vehicles In
volved in accidents. according to the
National Association of Motor Bus
Operators.
The statement by the association was
made on the basis Of survey of acct
dent statistics, which revealed q sub
stantial decrease in the number Of
accidents involving buses, as compared
with increases for private cars and
taxicabs.
while fatal accidents involving
private automobiles increased 81 per
cent since 1927, those involving motor
buses actually decreased 19 per cent"
Commenting on this safety record,
the organization of bus operators de-
clared that when 1t is considered that
944.191 or 769 per cent of the motor
accidents last year involved private
cars and 1l5.415 or "a per cent taxi
cabs. the logical conclusion Is that the
motor bus Is the safest means Of high
way transportation.
THE record of common carrier lines,
which transported approximately 2,000,-
10000 passengers in $780," said the
association. was particularly creditable.
While accident figures are not separated
as between common carrier, school and
private buses, it is a matter Of knowl-
edge in the industry that the former
type Of service is involved In a minimum
number of accidents.
This may be largely attributed to
the rigid requirements for men operat-
ing buses and periodic inspection Of
equipment to assure that rolling stock
Is Ia perfect condition"
