NO CHANCE FOR TIES
FRANCE AND ENGLAND

PARIS, May 2.-The scientific edi-
tor of the Temps doubts whether any
permanent friendship between France
and England is possible as long as
England sticks to her obsolete system
of weights and measures.
All the things that England and
France are agreed on says the edi-
tor, such as the interchange of lang
uages and the building of the Chan
hel Tunnel, are as nothing compared
with the absolute necessity for France
to induce England to adopt the metric
system. Think how difficult it will be
for the Frenchman to thread his way
through the maze of British weights
and measures when, after the war, he
turns to British trade and industry to
furnish him with the greater part of
what he needs to restore and rebuild
his shattered factories and work
shops!"

English coach, who is in this country

strategy of tennis.
There are many American players
who are fitted to take these positions,
which pay good salaries, but they do
not care to lose their amateur status
and cannot afford to give the time
necessary to successful coaching
without reimbursement AS a result
the National Association and the clubs
desiring a regular coach are confront
ed by problem which does not prom

able growth of the court game in the
past few years is responsible for the
entry of large numbers of boys and
young men who desire to be taught
the proper manner in which to make
the various strokes and the real sci

For the present at least there appears
to be little chance of their securing

Timon Bowden, who used to prance
around the outfield for the Cordele Ba-
bies, is one of the stars of the Sally
organization this season. This boy is
a former University of Georgia star,
and since entering the professional
field, has made an enviable record as a
ball tosser. His speed is his most re-
nowned attribute, and with this as a
nucleus, Timon should develop into a
big Lacquer. Ability to crack ball on
the nose, coupled with perfect fielding
and unusual speed should gain Bowden
instant recognition as a player of note
At Georgia he was regarded as one OF

The Sport World With Local
Color Dished Time to Time

NEW YORK, May 2.-While the big
league players have hardly got into
their stride for the long pennant
traces, the batting averages for the
initial week of the schedules show
tuat the heavy mitters of the Federal
League have n a number of cases
been able to hammer out place for
themselves among the 800 batters n
the National League. Hal Chase in his
few games with Cincinatti has been
hitting at a ASS clip as against his
2SA in the Federal League last year.
Konetchy, of Boston, is given 400
after batting $40 for the entire seas
on of 1915. Rariden, of New York, hit
for .27S as a Federal but since dom
ming a Giants uniform he has climbed
to 1873. Benny Kauff, the star of the
Federals last year with .344 is tied
with Rariden at 1888.
The Federal League representation
in the American League is consider
ably less than that in the National and
the heavy hitters of the junior league
have crowded out of the 800 or better
class, all of the Independent league
players of 1915. Lee Magee, former
manager of the Brookfeds who batter
$3.50 year ago, is the nearest ap-
proach to the select class. At the end
of the initial week of play for the
New York Americans, Magee was
credited with 1856.
Home Run" Baker, who came to
the same club from the Philadelphia
Athletics, after a years lay off due
tc his dispute over salary with Connie
Mack, showed that he has not lost
his batting eye by hitting for 1886 as
against .319 in the American League
for the season of 1914. Joe Gedeon,
WHO came to the New York Americans
via the Federals without having ac-
tually layed with the latter organiza-
ticn, also demonstrated his ability to
hit the ball hard and safe. His batting
average while a member of the Salt
Lake Club of the Pacific Coast League
in 1915 was BIZ During his first
week with the Yankees he landed on
tie ball at 400 clip.

Persistent rumors of AZ amateur
ball club for Americas continue to be
heard, and, maybe, before many moons
journey down to Dudley Field for an
afternoon full of thrills in the grand
old game. This is good suggestion,
al with the material the town is able
to afford, winning team is very prob
allie. Several of the High school boys
have announced the intention of trying
for a berth on the team-and it is
known that many of the former college
stars are rearing to CO."

The good work of a former Bucka-
lee, Henry Chancey, continues to be
splendid, and there are many who
make the assertion that Chancey will
easily lead the sluggers of the South
Atlantic. Whether he does or not,
Henry has the good will of the Ameri-
Gus fans, and that is something, at
least. So far his work as fence
buster has been of the stellar kind-in
a recent game he broke up a perfectly
nice ball game with a triple, a double
and homer-all in one afternoon, too.

are interested in all these races, more
so than most communities, because
many of the players who are making
baseball history elsewhere, once play
Ell before Americas fans. Especially
is this true in the Sally League. There
is hardly a team in that circuit that
hasn't former Americas players, or
players on teams of the old Georgia
State league on the roster. And it is a
fact worth remembering that nine of
these men has yet failed to show stuff
enough to remain in that class.

Photographs of the Americas High
school baseball team will be sent to
the newspapers of the state, with an
accompanying write-up. This bunch
OF youngsters deserve every word of
praise given them, as they have clearly
demonstrated their ability to win from
the best clubs around Americas. While
they have played only three games,
every one of them was victory, and it
is believed they are only forerunners
of what is coming to the other schools
when they strike these Sumter county
boys.

FILIPINO BANK TO
SELL STOCK QUICK

MANILA, May with announce
ment that shares of stock in the new
Philippine National Bank would be
/ put on sale at once, the insular gov
eminent has taken it's first steps in
the actual organization of the $10,-
100000 bank authorized by the last
insular legislature. Harvey P. Willis,
the first president of the bank, form
erly SECRETARY of the Federal Reserve
Board of the national government, is
expected to arrive within two months
to take over his duties and is hoped to
have the bank machinery ready for
operation when he gets to Manila.
Samuel Ferguson, acting executive
secretary, has been named vice pres
ident of the bank, and will direct its
affairs in the organization period I'M
til the arrival of his chief. William H.
Anderson, head of one of the greatest
American firms in the Islands, Leon
Rosenthal, an American of many
years residence here, head of the local
agency of the Shanghai Life Insurance
company, Venancio Conception, form
er general in the Filipino army, later
a newspaper man and now deputy coll
lector of internal revenue, Theodore
Yangoo, perhaps the foremost Filipino
merchant and Vincente Singson En-
carnacion, member of the Philippine
Commission since the arrival of Gov
ernor General Harrison, constitute
the board of directors.
OF the 100000 shares, the insular
government is to take 1O1 900, the
rest being offered to the public. The
governments share is to be paid for
with $650,OO0 from the insular treas
ury, 100000 from the agricultural
bank which now is merged with the
insular bank, $4,000 from the pay
ment of loan made last year to
negro sugar planters and the rest
from other government sources.
There was a fight in the legislature
as to the character of the bank. One
faction wished it to be largely agri-
cultural in its purpose in order that it
might aid Philippine farmers to get
the most out of their soil. The bill, as
passed, was a compromise and really
establishes a general bank which is
expected to pay particular attention
to agriculture.
Under the terms of the law, the
bank must be inaugurated by August
l, but there are indications that it
will open its doors for. business be-
fore that date.

GERMANS ARE LOYAL TO L. S.

Are the German-Americans as Tied
dy'' would have us call them as bad
as they are made to be or are they
the reverse?
Teddy has quite habit of coming
words to his own advantage. Some
of his ideas are all right while others
ale all wrong. According to late de-
velopments one of his ideas that IS
all wrong, is his attitude to people of
German parentage and those who have
have come to this country from Ger
many. He accuses them of being dis
loyal to the United States if this coun-
try ever went to war with Germany
A storm of protest was raised against
this untruthful statement. If the
truth be told, the Germans when the
time comes, will be as loyal to the
country that has adopted them as the
natives of the United States
We have proof of this in the city of
Watertown. This city is admitted as
being thoroughly German Yet when
the time came to mobilize, for the i'm
pending war with Mexico, the first
ones to answer the summons of the
country and defend its colors were
some of the city's best known German
inhabitants. They are Arnold Sand
rock, George Wendt, Otto Henkel
Walter Zickert and Arthur Koser.
Every German is loyal to the United
States 1t is as Paul E. Mueller of the
Abendpost says in answer to an out
burst of Roosevelt on the subject:
Roosevelt insults every citizen of
German ancestry in his definition of
Americanism."
Every honest American citizen no
matter what nationality knows that
America is the one and only country.
Wherever he was born he is American
now and this country should have his
first and last thought; the good of this
country should be his end and aim.
Sympathy for the land of his birth he
may and must have, but acts that con-
fiict with his new citizenship make
him something less than citizen;
they make him false to his oath of
allegiance and a traitor to his new
guilty. Il VI SlSuSISN WHO nave Ue-
come American citizens should count
themselves as one people
All Germans are entirely in accord
with the sentiment. The consensus of
opinion Of the German people was
stated in speech given at Philadel-
phia few days ago by DR.. C. j. Hex
amer. president of the national Ger
man-American alliance He said:
Those of us of German birth and ex-
traction are happy in the knowledge
of the loyalty and devotion, proved up
on hundreds of battlefields and thou
sands of civic contests by the men of
our blood since the birth of the ma
ton. They have always proved their
good citizenship and have been an
honor to our nation"
The motto adopted by the German
Catholic societies of Wisconsin at a
recent convention was America over
all the world This motto was adopt
ed because the Germans realize that
America has done some splendid
things in history They have learned
that it is their duty to keep the repu-
