Because Of the line of N. A. T.
(United) south Of Kansas City seemed
TO stand In the way Of a proper solu4
ton OF several Of our problems, United
has suggested that it abandon its line
south of Kansas City and take over
some other line Of equal value; such
line to be one that might be properly
operated In connection with United's
other lines. This would permit the
clearing of the Mid-Transcontinenta
of its N. A. T. contract between Wich-
ita and Kansas City, and would open
the N. A. T. line south Of Kansas City
and Wichita for proper disposition in
harmony with the Postmaster Gener-
ais ideas. The suggestion has been
Tade that Southwest Air Fast Ex-
press might operate the service on
Cam south Of Wichita and south Of
Kansas City.
The operators interested in the
routes under controversy have all
agreed to submit the issues to the
postmaster General In the hope that
satisfactory solution may be
reached. They request that an oppor-

Referred to McCarI.

The recommendations were referred
to the controller general, Brown said,
to determine how far the department
could go in granting extensions to
existing routes.
In a short while Mr.. Glover CAS-
sistant Postmaster GeneraD returned
to the room where the operators were
waiting" Brown said, quoting from a
memorandum of the proceedings.
and informed them that the depart
ment was somewhat disappointed in
their report, inaSmuch as they had
in effect taken all the meat and left
the bones. They were told, however
that the report would be carefully
studied and any decisions reached
would be indicated to them"
Subsequently the operators submit
ted a supplemental report, which
Brown said was placed on file and
no further consideration was given
to it."
BY now, Brown said he had deter
mined that ''if passenger operations
were to be developed by the Post
Office Department in order to tighten
the burden of the airmail services and
ultimately create an economically in
dependent transportation industry, the
airmail contractors themselves must
be forced to develop a passenger and
express business"
Is Answer to Farley.
Browns statement followed an open
letter by Postmaster General James
A. Farley in which Farley charged
competitive bidding was abandoned
and that representatives Of l3 of the
"a aviation companies who attended
the 1880 meeting came out with Iucra-
tive awards.
Following is the text Of Browns
statement:
There is absolutely no Justification
for the charge that any of the air
mail contracts were awarded through
colluSion among contractors or by any
other illegal practice.
The facts about the meetings of
airmail and air passenger operators
held at the Post ONCE Department
May l9 and June 4, 1880, are as fol-
lows:
The airman act of April so, 1880,
known as the McNary-watres act,
when 1t was introduced In the House
contained q provision designed 10 a.
stst air passenger carriers who had no
mail contracts, because 1t was believed
that the development of air passen-
ger tratflc was essential to the per-
manence Of the transport industry.
The language to which reference Is
made was as follows:
Provided. that when in his opinion
the public interests shall so require.
he POSTMASTER GeneraD may award
such contracts by negotiation and
without advertising for or considering
bids. In awarding airmail contracts
the Postmaster General will give
proper consideration to the equities
Of airmail and other aircraft opera
tors with respect to the routes which
they have been operating and the
territories which they have been serv-
ing"
Opposition Develops.
Opposition to the awarding Of con-
tracts by negotiation developed in the
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads to which this legislation was
referred, and the language above
quoted was finally stricken from the
bill, although the last clause directing
the Postmaster General to give proper
consideration to the equities of air.
mail and other aircraft operators was
given approval in the discussions Of
the bill in the committee and on the
floor Of the House.

NEW YORK, February 16-Deny-
ing that airmail contracts were award
ed during the Hoover administrator
through collusion, former Postmaster
General Walter F. Brown declared last
night the only awards of major i'm
portance were made under the pro-
visions Of the law"
There is absolutely no Justification
for the charge that any Of the airmall
contracts were awarded through COL
lusion among contractors or by any
other illegal practice" said Brown.
The former postal head issued his
statement after asking the Senate
committee investigating the awards
for permission to testify voluntarily"
at the earliest possible date. He ex-
pressed willingness to waive immunity
from prosecution.
In his statement, Brown detailed
two meetings he had with airline oper-
atorS in 1880, and declared:
mo suggestion Of dividing airmail
operations among the companies rep
resented at the May 1o and June
meetings was ever made or contem-
plated and no suggestion with re-
spect to bidding on airmail contracts
or refraining to bid on airmail con-
tracts was made at either Of these
meetings, or at any other time.
Says Law Was Needed.
"The only airmail operations Of
major Importance, the Central and
Southern transcontinental operations.
were awarded under the provisions Of
the law relating to competitive bid
ding to the lowest responsible bidder" !"
Brown said the May l9 meeting was
called to discuss the Post Office De-
partment's effort to obtain passage of
the McNary-Wa bill in its original
form, which would have permitted the
Postmaster General to award contracts
by negotiation, and further to see If,
under the law as it was enacted, any
relief could be afforded to the pas
senger carriers who had no airrnail
contracts through the cooperation of
the airmail contractors and the Post
Office Department"
In opening the meeting Brown said
he stressed the departments efforts to
pleSeINe lne PROVISIONS designed 10
prevent the abandonment Of air pas
senger operations" explained . the
situation as it stood, and then turned
the meeting over to the operators.
On June 4, he said, the operators
reassembled and submitted a list of
recommendations for the extension of
the airman service with a view to the

TILT GOLD CUP LIMIT

12-Liter Boats Eligible Next Year
for Speed Classic.
NEW YORK, October 26.-The
class limit for Gold Cup competition
was increased to 12-liter boats, un-
supercharged, effective next season,
in a change of rules adopted last night
by the Gold Cup Contest Board of the
American Power Boat Association.
Under the terms of a regulation
adopted last year to take effect in
1885, old Gold Cup boats, with 6.25
cubic inch engines, will be permitted
to use superchargers.
An even more drastic change was
adopted to take effect in 1886, when
all restrictions on Gold Cup hulls,
length, weight and beam will be re-
moved. The effect will be to place
Gold Cup competition on exactly the
same basis as European 12-liter class
racing. 1t was decided also to permit
foreign drivers to compete in the Gold
Cup races provided their boats are
foreign-bui and conform to Ameri-
can rules and challenges are made
through an American yacht club.
1t was decided the 1885 Gold Cup
race would be held July 81 at Lake
George.

johnson Rumored Out.

DERHAPS this Cronin deal was
engineered to make a spot for
Ruth. 1t would be a great ges-
ture, even with Griffith getting huge
wad of dough for the finest ShortStop
and most spirited player ever to wear
a Washington uniform.
There's Walter Johnson, the most
remarkable pitcher ever to grace the
American League if not all major
base ball. Although signed for an
other season with the Indians, the
man who managed the Washington
club through four campaigns until
Cronin took over the task last year
has been under fire in Cleveland
where he has been in charge since
the middle of the 1888 season.
Recent rumors have it that Johnson,
while signed by Alvah Bradley, chief
owner of the Indians, for another sea-
son during the period of caustic criti-
cism last Summer, is to be deposed.
Charley Gehringer. close runner-up to
Mickey Cochrane, Detroit pilot, in the
American Leagues most valuable
player vote. is slated to be transferred
from the Tigers to the management of
the Indians, it is understood.
They can do that in base ball. And
certainly it wouldn't break johnson S
heart to come back to the manage
ment of the Washington bali club.
He always has felt he didn't get a
fair break in his term here.

Griff Likes Home Talent.

THERE'S Joe Judge, the most pop
ular player who ever filled the
first base post for the Nationals.
Joe is free agent now and he knows
the game. He was chief aide to Bucky
Harris when Bucky was plotting the
club to pennantS.
There's Sam Rice-Edgar c., if you
must. Sam is with Cleveland now,
but it wouldn't be difficult to effect
his release from that club. Like
Judge, Sam has been a Washingto-
nian for a score of years. And
Griffith is strong for home talent.
There's talent on the club to con-
slider, too. Buddy Myer, always an
aggressive and earnest player, clever
base ball logician. He is certainly of
the managerial stripe. And there's
Luke SeWell, the catcher. Luke is
understood to be through as a regular
with the Nationals, now that they
have group of young catchers
coming up from the rank and file
Luke knows base ball from every
angle. And this graduate of the Uni
versity of Alabama is leader.
Griffith has a great field from
which he may select manager, if he
doesn't take the job himself. And he
was great manager in his day.

Plenty of Denials.

EVEN so, there were plenty of de-

ager Of the Yankees, said that
so far as he knew there was no truth
to the story.
"One thing is sure" he went on.
Ruth still is on the reserve list of
the Yankees, and no request has been
made to us for his release or his
transfer to another club"
'All bunk" sa',. John Shibe, vice
president of the Athletics.
You know the New York writer's
have been trying to find a job for
Ruth for years. There's apparently
none open, so they decided to make
him manager of the Athletics"
Mack's son, Cornelius McGillicuddy,

$25O,OOO for Cronin,
Whew! Griff Was and
Is ''On the Spot"
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

He also would be accused of putting
the welfare of his own family above
that of the supporters of base ball in
the Capital, in view of the fact his
niece, Miss Mildred Robertson. be-
came Cronin's bride only last month.
On the other hand. if he refused to
consider any offer, no matter how
large, he would be in the position Of
deliberately standing in the way of
Cronin bettering himself, for Joe will
get a five-year contract at Boston,
and a good guess is that his annual
stipend will not be less, than 100000,
a sum the local club could not pos
sibly pay.
Griff was in a tough spot
and, of course, still is.
We don't envy him the job he now
faces of finding a competent leader
to replace Cronin the manager and
shortstop who will come near 10 fill
the shoes of Cronin the player, nor
would we banker for the assignment
of placating a bunch of fans who un-
doubtedly will need plenty of placat-

T0morrow's Roundup

Tomorrow's Roundup.
Y /ALE-ARMY-One of the closest
contests of the day-full of fire
and action. Army, untested to
date, is guess. Yale has been moving
steadily forward. Both have class on
the attacking side. with Army's de-
fense slightly favored. So Army gets
the call.
Fordham-Southern Methodist-An-
other hard, fairly even game where
Fordham's somewhat battered line may
be the vulnerable spot. The Texans
can call on baf1ing passing game
and this should turn the tide for
S. M. U. in the wake of the st. Mary's
hurricane.
Tennessee see-Duke-Wallac Wade's
unbeaten Duke team is moving to the
border line of trouble. Tennessee fell
before Alabama, but so would most
other teams that met Alabama. Ten
nessee's strong defense and still
stronger attack, with Vaughn passing,
should turn back Duke.
Harvard Dartmouth - Dartmouth,
like the Army, emerges from the fog
for its first important showing. Eddie
Casey's young men have been doing
quite well, but Dartmouth should win.
Minnesota -Iowa-The wrecking Iowa
took from Iowa State a week ago
should jar the former from its trance
But the jar wasn't heavy enough
to roll back Minnesota's bounding
Gophers. Minnesota has the call, with
something to spare.
Holy Cross Colgate Colgate has a
fine little-team and Holy Cross a good
big team. This margin of Holy Cross
power, plus Hobins passing, should
carry the day.
Princeton -Cornell-The Tiger should
swing back to his stride this week
after the w. and L. nightmare.
Cornells material has been below par.
Princeton has a decisive margin.
Syracuse -Brown-Brown should be
much better than she was against
Yale, but Syracuse has a strong team
this season and so gets the winning
vote.
Texas -Rice-One Of the hardest
games Of the day to pick. Rice beat
Purdue and s. M. u, and remains un-
beaten. Texas lost a week ago to Cen
tenary. The edge is thin, but on the
dope, it belongs to Rice.
Stanford-Southern California-One
of tn eannual classics. Southern Cali
fornia is well below par, but STAN
ford's scoring attack has been none
TOO robust up to date. Stanford, how
ever. has a clear superiority in both
line and backfield and therefore
should crash safely through.
Notre Dame -Wisconsin-The South
Bend entry still is picking up week
by week, and Notre Danes backfleld
