SEEK SAFETY IN LANDING
High Speed Airpianes Have Drawback
That Engineers Are Now
Trying to Overcome.

AT the present writing there is no
evidence Of any plane that hns ex-
cees!ed 100 miles In steady flight. and
these. are only the lighfest and most
dangerous types. with landing speeds
OF from 75 TO 90 miles an hour. Few,
II any. hnvc been equipped with en-
sLnes exeeelin: laa horsepower.
There is no Inherent reason why this
horsepower cannot be approximately
doubled. Cnrl Snyder writes In Col
lier's. This would be sufficient To
drive n. strongly constructed reiinhIe
ripl;ine. currying perhaps two passen-
gers. at from 20 TO 80 miles an hour
faster than any nirplane has yet flown.
Such machine is actually nnGer con-
struction in this country; aud as tho
Germans have been ste.,dily u little
ahend of the allies, so far as their nn-
chimes ure concerned. there Is little
ments nre under way In Germany.
IT some retarding device can be
found which VIII lower tie landing
speed to reasonably safe point. these
machines will outclass anything that
has so far been built.
AS far as the design of these engines
Is concerned. they differ I'm no imporf-
ant particular, except their weight
from the finer type Of motor cnr mo-
tors. A fine aero engine Is simply m
astonishlngiy clever piece of mechan-
ical construction. II Is very neurl,

WILLIE HOPPE PLAYS
AT SHERMAN'S TODAY
Worlds Champion cueist VIII Arrive
From Baltimore This Morning.

We have in our midst today william
F. Hoppe. the greatest wieider of q bill
lard cue the world has ever known.
Hoppe and his manager. R. B. BEN
tamin. will arrive in the National Capi-
tai early this morning from Baltimore,
where the champion has been appear.
ing In exhibitions the past two days.
This afternoon and Tonight. Hoppe will
appear at Frank Sherman's Royal Par
lors, In exhibition watches with Young"
Jake Schaefer, Chick Wright and Char
lie Peterson. The billiard wizard is also
scheduled to appear tomorrow afternoon
ana tomorrow night.
Willie Hoppe, 1t has been said. Is the
most highly-developed, the most nearly
perfect worlds champion that has ever
lived.
Every sport has had its worlds cham
pion. We have had John L. Sullivan.
Jim Corbett, Maurice McIoughlin, Jim
Jeffries. Tyrus Cobb. Battling Nelson.
Frank Gotch, but not one has stood as
pre-eminently in his particular profess
sion or sport as Hoppe does in his or
as pre-eminently as he probably will
continue to stand until his whiskers
touch the top OF his shoes.
Some there are who think that Willie
Hoppe is abnormal. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. The champion,
In the parlance OF sport. 'is a regular
guy" Away from the billiard table he
is no different than any other twenty
nine-year-old young man.
A dozen years ago there was q flock
of billiard maryels playing the game
and every year the title changed hands.
Then along comes the then eighteen
year-old boy wonder, Hoppe. From 1905
no one has ever dared to dispute his
claims to the title.
Billiards have been changed time and
again, to handicap Hoppe. because,
argued the manufacturers OF billiard
room supplies, It hurt the game to have
as champion man so absolutely su-
perior to all others. But every time the
game was changed Hoppe took up the
new game and played It 50 much better
than anybody else that It was quickly
dropped
The three-cushion game is Q game IN
point. When that game was taken ur
In earnest three or four years back every
body smiled. Here, at last. was the game
that would get the Hoppe goat. The fact
that the champion expressed disapproval
OF the game as being one with the ele-
ment Of chance predominating over real
skill. added to the belief that Hoppe wal
''bluffed"-that he disapproved OF the
new game for fear that he would not b
able to excel at II.
Today Hoppe is demonstrating to ths
numerous three-cushion champions anc
ex-champions Of the world how three.
cushion shots should be made.
But Hoppe doesn't like three cushions
still contending that 1t entails too much
chance. frantic shooting" as some pu,
1t, and his desire il to stick to balk line
real billiards" the game at which ht
has high record run OF e.
Some day there may be a greater bill.
Hard player than Willie Hoppe, but II
won't be in our time. Hoppe is the orig.
inal champion of champions.

RUMORED M'GRAW IS
TOPURCHASE GIANTS
Intimated That Harry Sinclair Is in
Back of the New York Manager.

Philadelphia, March 6.-That there is
more fact than fiction In the report that
the New York National League Club
has been the subject OF recent negotia-
ton was learned here today. What
hitch between the parties served to pre-
vent consummation Of the deal last
week Is unknown. but 1t is positively
known that Manager McGraw delayed his
start for Marlin, TexaA along with the
Giants, because he was one of the prin-
cipals In the negotiations and wanted
to be present when the deal was COM
pleted. .-I
The fact that MoGraw has left New
York and Is now at Marlin IL construed
as pretty conclusive evidence that all
negotiations have been called off. It IL
said that McGraw was the leading spirit
In carrying on the arrangements for the
sale OF the club and had 1t been effected
he would have been elected president.
Whom the parties were who were willing
to finance the purchase of the club In the
interest of McGraw Is not positively
known. but 1t has been broadly intimated
that Harry Sinclair was interested.
There Is no doubt that the former Fed
eral League owner and oil ma gnate could
swing the deal without the assistance of
anyone. but It Is questionable IL he would
do such a thing In the interest of Nc
Graw, or for the purpose of placing the
latter at the head of the club. It Is only
reasonable to suppose that IL Sinclair
should purchase the club he would be its
president.
The more probable solution OF the
rumor is that a syndicate of New York.
ers. friends OF McGraw. were trying to
get control of the club. 1t Is positively
known that for the last several years Nc
Graw has been trying to buy a club. and,
ceptable to him and his friends as that
of the New York Nationals.
