Proposals to place a tax on per

VEN a year ago it was not an un-
IL common thing for an automobile
that had reached Mexico City over
the highway from the Texas border
to return aboard freight train. Its driver
did not want to repeat certain experiences.
But gradually, for years, the dangerous gaps
lin the Pan-American Highway have been
getting shorter and shorter For years, too,
warnings have been sent out against attempt
ing the road. Now it is announced that the
last bridge will be opened for traffic next
month and that then the president of Mexico
will set the date for the formal completion of
the road, probably in June.
1t is not the much noised "mafiana habit
that has consumed ten years while the less
than 200 miles of highway between Laredo

Annual Track
Meet Today
At Central
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GAkhEIT WAIEhS
If you're going to figure pitching
and you can't help it in a short
SerieS-this Central High School
nine promises to walk off with the
current interhigh baseball champ,
ionship.
At least you're bound to have
ideas on the subject when young
Ster like Arnold Heft, southpaw,
turns in a game as was his fortune
in yesterdays most important
clash between the Central and
Roosevelt teams at the Central
Stadium.
The Mt. PleaSanters triumphed,
2 to 0, thanks to Heft's splendid
pitching. The victory enabled the
boys to 60 into tie with Western
for the series title.
The two teams now will play a
single game to decide the
championship, it possibly coming
Monday at Griffith Stadium. This
date and site will be decided upon
over the weekend by coaches and
officials of the two schools and
an official announcement will be
forthcoming soon after.
Grants Three Hits
Heft held the Rough Riders to
three hits yesterday. Gerald
Tassa, Rider third sacker, got two
OF these bingleS-one in the
seventh and one in the ninth
Larry flanagan gathered the other
in the sixth. 1t was easily the
best game of Heft's career.
The Georgetowners have Lee
Kushman, silent lefthander, as
their pitching star. But his talents
are now in the runners-up class
alongside of Heft's. At least that
the way it looks at this hour.
Track Meet Today
The pay-off will come when
Heft and KuShman face. II
should be an interesting battle
and one that will be remembered
by interhigh baseball fans for
some time.
The interhigh track meet is
the piece de resistance for the
schools today. 1t is at the Cen
trail Stadium at 3:15 p. m.
This meet is an annual one
between only the local high
teams. Tech has run away with
honors in recent years and is
favored to win this season,
though the Trainers are not as
strong, as for example, in 1885.

Cox Loses Bout

He learned this last night as he
bowed to Ernie DuSek in what was
the feature of the first outdoor
wrestling show at Griffith Stadium.
Cox lost by virtue of a body

was effective enough to make Cox
quit after 29l2 minutes.
