BAsEBALL-SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING
SOX IN EARLY SLUMP-HITTING
FAR BELOW AVERAGE
BY Mark Shields

The mere fact that they have
dropped two straight is no reason for
getting the hammers out and apply
ing them to the White Sox. It is the
first time this season the Rowlapds
have been defeated twice in success
sion, but it won't be the last, for the
American league is full of tough hUr-
dies for any club. And Cleveland,
with its pitching staff in its present
form, is as big an obstacle as could
be imagined.
Without being accused of carping
criticism, however, it can be said
that the South Siders are not playing
the game their respective records
should lead one to expect. The hit
ting is woefuIly weak in number of
swats registered, and even worse
when the hits are considered for their
productive value at the plate. In
three games against Cleveland the
locals have bagged IA safsties and
scored two runs. The marvel is that
they have been able to CLEAN even
one game from the Indians.
Some of the thinking has not been
up to big league standard, especially
on attack. An example:
Cleveland ratified home two runs
in the first inning. In our half Jack
son was on first and Liebold on third,
with two out. FelsCh was at bat with
three balls called and one strike.
Jackson attempted to steal on the
next pitch and was out standing up,
Felsch failing to hit the ball.
The idea, of course, was to have
men on second and third to be in
scoring. distance on a single. It was
no attempted double steal, for Memo
didn't move off third and Jackson ran
straight death. But if Jackson had
stood at first, Felsch could have al
lowed the pitch to pass, the count
would then have been three and two

Haiti Congress Threatens Trouble.
The unwillingness of Haitian official
dom to request the extension of the
present Haitian-American treaty for 10
years is the stumbling block in the way
of the present plan. The treaty is for
a period of 10 years and provides for
an extension Of 10 years at the request
of either nation. It Is not believed
that any American bankers will make
a loan to extend beyond the time the
treaty expires.
This matter will be holly discussed
when the national assembly, the Hal
tan congress-, meets on the first Mon
day of next month.
Nobody knows what the assembly
will do. 1t Is likely to baIk at trans
ferring control of roads and irrigation

ly to balk at the provision in the new
constitution which gives corporations
the right to own land and extends the
same right to foreigners who have lived

Germans Out With New
and Better Aeroplanes
(By Associated Press.l

London. March 31.-The superiority
Of the English and French aircraft,
which was frequently asserted in off,
ctal statements from the entente side
last year, is less pronounced this year,
according to the British correspondents
at the front. This is due to the ap-
pearance of several new types of Ger
man machines, chiefly modelled. it is
said, on French and British designs,
and known as the Albatros. Halber-
stadt, Ago. Roland and the new Fox
ker.
The majority of them have fixed
cylinder engines, giving about 100 to
200 horsepower. A few retain the ro-
tary engines with which the Germans
achieved some success in the Fokker
two years ago. but these rotary en-
gines are seldom OF more than
130-horsepower.
The new German machines have a
speed of about 100 miles an hour. but
their chief feature is their ability for
climbing. Ordinarily they frequent the
$4,000 foot levels. and they have been
observed on picket duty as high as
10000 feet The latest German order
for airplane engines is said to have
specifications designed to give their

NUDDLED
Americans are Strengthening
Out Affairs of the Island
Republic.
BY George Wheeler Human. Jr,

GG0FQG WnGGl6f F1lnn18ns JFs
Port Au Prince, Haiti, March 3D.
Much wrath has been aroused by the
manner in which the American repre-
sentatives in Haiti have handled the
financial problems OF the country.
To begin at the beginning, Haiti has
three foreign loans totaling at par
about 121 200, 900 francs, or. at the cur
rent rate Of exchange. some $40, 0O0. 600.
These are held largely in France and
draw interest-when it is paid-at to
s per cent.
Then there is an internal funded debt
with nominal value OF S2,300,000 In
addition, there are floating claims-ex-
ceptfng revolutionary totaling about
tional claims the amount of which it
is impossible even to estimate. These
now are being examined by commits
sion.
Borrow to Pay Interest.
To secure the foreign loans and the
funded internal Indebtedness tho Hail
tian government placed affectations on
the various import and export duties
and port charges. 1t is the Haitian's
boast that his government never de-
faulted on it's Indebtedness. and IL Is
easy to understand how this was ac-
compIished.
The practice was to float a new loan
to meet all arrears. These loans were
called the interior debt.
Interest and principal on the interior
debt were guaranteed by affectations
which often brought the annual charge
created by the Indebtedness as high as
30 per cent; per cent interest and "a
per cent principal AS the latest loans
were fioated at large discounts. they
proved profitable short time invest

ments for the Haitian we'll to do.
Profit IL 200 Per Cent,

A man who purchased a loan might
hope to receive rs per cent on his in
vestment the first year ard to get with
in Ave years a return, including prtnci-
pal, Of $1.30 for every 20 cents invested.
Into this hodge podge of finance
plunged the financial adviser selected
by the United States. He found that
about rs per cent Of the customs rev.
enues and port charges. which constf-
tute practically the entire revenue or
the country, were pledged by affecta-
tions to various debts. He found that
the government was paying as high as
80 per cent year in interest and prin-
cipal on its Indebtedness.
Two alternatives presented them
selves-pay the ruinous charges on the
debt and let the country remain pros
trate, or default on the debt until 1t
could be properly adjusted, and put the
money into public works.
Default on Debt Ordered.
The financial adviser decided in favor
of the latter alternative, a decision
which harmonized perfectly with the
gendarmerie policy of winning the
friendship of the people who had sur
fered under Haitian misrule. Even the
interest on the foreign debt was al
lowed to lapse.
Quite naturally this policy has been
subject to severe censure. The only in
terest payment since the American oc-
cupation was made a year ago. when
one third Of the affectations applicable
was distributed on the various debts.
Since then the holders Of the debts
have waited in vain, and the indigna-
ton among the Haitians opposed to the
occupation has risen higher with each
interest date passed.
Haiti's financial problems now appear
to be on the verge of solution. It 10

ts.Year Lean Recommended.
The financial adviser has presented a
plan to the Haitian government recon-
mending 19-year loan OF $30,O00,0 900,
which will leave a balance for much
needed public works too comprehensive
to be financed out of the current in
come. With this loan II is planned to

In addition, the financial plan recon-

Among the measures under considera-
ton the schemes for internal revenue

of the highest speed machines and
handling them acrobatically in the air,
as is necessary lin air fighting. The
instructors carry on sham fights in the
air with their pupils, armed with
cameras instead of guns.
Then there are the post graduate
aerial gunnery schools. The most ex-
pert pilot in the world is useless as a
fighting man if he does not thorough
ly understand his machine gun, for a
perfect flyer with damned gun is of
little use against a merely moderate
pilot who is crack shot and a real
gun master. A combination of the
two is the desideratum, as, for ex-
ample, in the case of a young pilot
recently mentioned in dispatches,
whose engine stopped dead at a height
of $4,000 feet when he was being at
tackled by two German aeroplanes.
Despite this loss of motive power fore
ing him to descend constantly he shot
down one enemy machine, drove the
other away, and glided into his own
lines unchanged. -.
The work of the aviator has become
highly specialized in the course of the
last twelve months. At the British
aviation camps along the front in
France, there are separate squadrons of
machines for reconnaissance, infantry
contact, photography, artillery-spotting
and bomb dropping and, in almost
every instance. squads of these ma
chimes may only accomplish their
duties successfully when they are pro-
tected from enemy attack by machines
of a type comparable to the torpedo
boat destroyers Of a naval fleet. q
For these destroyer machines"
high speed, high-climbing ability, and
high fighting and maneuvering power
are essential. Some of the newer
British machines Of this type are said
to show a speed Of over $50 miles an
hour.
