Bus Ruling May
Kill Minor Loops

NEW YORK, May % (INS).-
The newest ruling from the Office
of Defense Transportation in
Washington, denying the use of
chartered buses to minor league
baseball clubs after June is an
ether indication that the war is
gradually weakening the structure
of minor league baseball.
If strictly enforced and applied
in equal degree to the teams own
ing their own bus transportation,
the new ruling may actually sound
the death knell of all the country s
smaller minor leagues, at least
those in Class c and ID.
