HERO WILL DO NOW QUESTION a President Clark Griffith Has Gathered Big Collection of New Man PLAN REORGANIZATION Big Train’s Biggest Problem Is Finding Man to Replace Bucky Harris New York, Nov. 1.— (AP) — The Hot Stove League season is bound to be a success if for no other rea- son than that Walter Johnson is re- turning to the Washington ball club swith which he played for 21 years. Speculation over wi the Big ‘Train will do at his old home should hel; Bie! fandom during the long between seasons. The club itself has set a good example for the great idol of baseball so far as action is concerned. It lost one man- ager and picked up another within ten days time. But few if any spectacular moves bs hero ahead for Washington. Most of the changes will be within the club. Clark Griffith, president of the Senators, already has gathered in a big collection of fresh material. Outside of the deal which some club or other is expected to make for Bucky Harris’ services and a trade for or purchase of a pitcher or two there'll be little done between Wash- ington and the other teams. Has 20 Recruits Through draft, purchases and recalls, ident Griffith has up- ‘wards of 20 new men coming to the 102 Senators. He recalled five, draft- ed two and bought the rest. Eight of them are infielders,.some of whom probably will be exchanged for pitchers. Still another infielder may come to the Senators, for gossip among it that Harris will Charley Gehringer. : Harris missing, the Big ‘Train’s bi “ee pte! will be filling the secont post.

G. Bellanger, man- ager of the Interstate Transporta- tion company. The statement is based on a study of motor bus operating costa of 66 representative companies which ca ried more than 400 million passe gers at an average fare of 10.1 cents. “Fees constituted about’ 95 per cent of the total. revenue of the av- erage company inthis group, while it paid $8.700 for its insurance and ost $37,500, or 1.6 cents per bus for taxes. ‘Although bus transportation is in its infancy, with the average age of these 66 companies at four years,” is stated, “the miles of route cov- ered bythe common. carrier motor. bus exceeds by 5 per cent the route mileage of the railroads, and by 463 per cent that of the electric rail- Manger believes this tremendous and sudden populariaation of the bus, which has been due to an in- creasing demand for public conve: ance hy automobile, has led to widespread need on the part of op- erators, manufacturers, financiers, as well as regulatory and legislative bodies, for data on costs opera- ion. “Roads must be improved,” he said. “North Dakota is rapidly im- proving its roads, and is destined to have some fine thoroughfares in the near future. Roads determine the mileage cost for buses, therefore the state should give common. car- riers all the cooperation possible.” Republicans Expend $1,000 for Campaign Washington, Nov. 1—(AP)—The Republican senatorial committee in a report to the clerk of the house to- day showed that its total receipts to October 18 had been $102,853 and that its expenditures had been $79,- 986. leaving a balance of $22,867.
