Plans Are Made

DALLAS. Sept. a. ~ Plans
for the Shaughnessy playoff for
the Texas League pennant we're be-
fore club owners wednesday. J.
Alvin Gardner, president Of the
lop. asked the owners to meet with
him tc work out the details.
The regular schedule will end
Sunday. and officials had expressed
the belief that the first round Of
the playoff probably would start the
following Wednesday.
According 70 the plans. the club
finishing In first place would play
the fourth place club while the
second and third teams would meet
in the other series or the first round
for the best three out Of five
games. winners OF these two series
would fight 1t out until one team
won four decisions. and the right to
represent the league against the
Southern Association champion In
the Dixie series.
No position has been cinched. The
percentage columns, however. show
that Oklahoma City. the league lead
er, Galveston and Beaumont. are
sure OF being first round particip-
ants. A fight remains between Tulsa
and San Antonio for fourth place.

it has brought about an early dis
cussion OF trades.

"Of course n big man who can

are scarce. We saw plenty OF play

year who could put q zoo FOUNDER

So the order has gone out from

favorable to Coach Jones.

1t was far into the night before
the officials of the American Au-

hurriedly to the driver, with many
apologies. that they had made a

The announcement brought from
Campbell the declaration he was

The error came on the return
run. after Campbell had flashed
northward cross the cleaning salt
plain at 304.31l miles an hour and
brouht his huge racer to a safe stop
despite a blown front tire.
The timers first computed his
southbound mile at 295.566 miles an
hour. for an average Of 200 875 miles.
A later check Of the electrically
marked tape showed the return mile
wa run in l2.08 seconds instead OF
the 1918 seconds - or 29S.0i3 miles
on hour - originally announced,
which accounted for the increased
average finally credited.

Coming now to the legislative act
which I sponsored and which was
approved by President Roosevelt last
week. it would be well to mention
first its purpose. At its outset. the
law declares the policy Of Congress
to be ito regulate transportation by
motor carriers in such manner as to
recognize and preserve the inherent
advantages of, and foster sound eco
nomic conditions In, such transporta-
ton and among such carriers In the
public interest: promote adequate,
economical and efficient service by
motor carriers, and reasonable charges
therefor, without unjust discrimina-

petitive practices; improve the reia-
tons between, and coordinate trans

carriers and other carriers; develop
and preserve highway transportation
systems properly adapted to the needs
of the commerce of the United States,
and OF the national defense; and CO.
