McKN'IGHT DALLAS, April teaim from up noilh, start a long gamble down south tomorrow, opening the Toxas league on ft queer schedule that will keep them away from home (or many days. Inclement weather of the past few seasons caused league officials to shift all openings to the southern ejid of the the pian coxild boomerang. One bad stresk while getting adjusted to comrje'-ftion again could send" a northern division team back home for its opener with no one but lelatives ana concession men in the park and chances for a shot at the opening dky attendance trophy blown to pieces. President J. Alvm Gardner admitted such ugly possibilities today, but added weather wns a problem before.

What can be done? Some ten days will elapse before the northern division teams return to home base. During that period it is safe to assume thflt the weather will be clearing in the north. is also safe to assume that the northern clubs, on the basis of. strength shown to date, wc-n't- be completely routed in the soxith. Furthermore, some of those teams are quite capable of opening at home with a sizeable winning stream already in the books."

Mann Weighs Proffer of High Court Position AUSTIN', April torney General Gerald C. Mann today declined appointment as chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court. Maun said he was convinced he was better equipped to servo ay attorney general. AUSTIN, April thrcc-ycar-olrt Gerald C. Mann, lins been practicing law only six years nnd seven months, will be the next chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court if he wants to ue.

Mann, who now holds the $10,000 a year post of attorney general, promised a witliin a few ciays. He was tendered the chic! justiceship last night by-Governor Lee O'Dauiel. Court attaches said that if he accepted they believed he would be the youngest chief justice in Texas history. Southern Methodist University's former quarterback nud forward passer extraordinary told the governor that under his interpretation of the constitution he would nol be eligible for the position until September, when he wHl have corii- pleted the required seven years of law practice. OTJnniel replied thai in view of that circumstances hf woulc! delay effectiveness the np- polntment until Sayl.

1. Weighing Factois Before rebelling decision, Mitnn Ijerliaps will weigh these factors: apparently ce.ulri coast Into a second term as attorney general. If he should accept the court appointment, lie would liave to run this year for the remaining two years of the term of the hue Chief Justice C. M. Ciii-elon.

His youth and shortage of exiwrience might possibly make the outcome uncertain. lie Is ambitions to become governor or United States senator, staying on as nttornev general probably would be the better course. position of chief justice of the supreme court is an exalted one i-nd Texans have the habit of re-electing iheir high court members. The job pays per year and the term of office is six years. Mann of course nmv not be thinking of any of these" things.

He may be considering simply whether he is better fitted to be practicing lawyer or a judge. Or he may be pondering whether he can render more service to the state as attorney general or as a supreme court justice. Distinct Surprise The appointment of Mmin was a distinct surprise. When tlia 1927 all-Southwestern Conference back ran for attorney two years ago, O'Danlel supported his runoff opponent, Walter P. Woociiil of Houston.

After the chief justice- ship, wns varaicd by Judge Cureton's death capitol observers speculated that, either Tom L. Benuchamp of the State Court of Criminal Appeals or Lieutenant Governor Coke Stevenson probably would bo selected to fill it. The Texas political picture has been considerably altered by the prospect of Mann's acceptance of the appointment. Such acceptance would throw the attorney general's race wide open, one of the candidates might be Coke Stevenson, in which event ihcre wcuUl be a scramble for lieutenant governor. In addition lo Stevenson, persons mentioned as possible candidates for Attorney General include District Judge Hulph W.
