ROCKIES PUT T
 OVER REGULARS Colts Defeat Veterans in Second Meeting-Black
 in Fine Form

Tn close and hard-fought contest Manager Blacks yannigans defeated Ed die McDonalds regulars yesterday after noon by the score of to 0. Boss Moley was perfectly neutral, but offered ire quent suggestions from the sidelines as to the fine points of the game. Adam Debus by having a sore arm, was smade the goat of the day and forced to umpire the fracas Pool, an old Carolina leagde player and Dixie Walker accommodated the Baron rockies by filling in at fir.t- base and centerfield.
 The game was spirited throughout, all participants showing keen desire to play up to midseason form. Karlo Black, in the boy for the colts. especially mani fested his anxiety to take the regulars measure, and Blackie succeeded in ac- complaining his purpose. Mcdonald and Jansen starred with the bludgeon, each getting a pair of safeties out of three trials. One outstanding feature of ali these practice bouts is the hard work Moley puts in, trying to correct every iit- tie flaw that bobs up in the play of his youngsters.
 Whitey Glazner pitched rattling good game yesterday, striking out Walker once and Henderson and Waldron twice. The sorrel -domed heaver was a victim of circumstances, however, and tasted defeat by the errors of his teammates

By HUGH s. FULLERTON THE SHORTSTOPS
 American League

There is saying in baseball that more pennants are won and lost at shortstop than at any other position on the field. If that be true, there is slight indication that it will apply either in the American or the National league this season, unless, perchance, the St. Louis Cardinals win, in which event the short stop element probably will be the strong ly decisive one.
 The shortstops of the two leagues are not. on the whole, up to the shortstop standard that has prevailed in the ma ior leagues for years. With the single exception of Roger Hornsby, not one of this last generation is on a par with the older shortstoppers, and he has yot to prove himself the equal of Wagner
 BUSH GETS TO FIRST
 In attack the shortstops are not strong; in defensive work they are good. In studying the dope. we find that the grand little veteran, Donie Bush, still heads the American leaguers, due en- tirely to this increase in swatting power last year, and his usual ability to draw bases on balls-at which he remains the
 
 greater percentage of times than almost any player in the world, and in this re- spect his figures since he has been with Detroit. show well with those of such men as Keeler, Slagle and others of the old school.
 Cleveland, with Chapman returning to his true form, holds second rank, with the next five closely punched. They are a clever fielding, but light hitting, out fit, and only one-St Louis-shows much promise of increasing it's hitting power. This fellow Gerber. who cut into short in closing stanZas of last season, cracked the American league pitchers for .3oS, and hit as if they looked soft after what he had faced in the association, where he hit 266. He is a nice-looking ball player and ought to improve.
 Washington, of course, slumps far down the list because of the weakness in attack no matter who is chosen to -rasy. 11s.-, ssiI.s who s~Tsred from trss Browns, probably will be lost, As he is on the edge of military service. if not already in.

Towards heavy artillery went into ac- tion in the second game of the series with the Preds, and when the lombard ment ceased the count was 14-1 for the Crimson Blue nine. The shower of base hits lasted for the entire session and the Howard sluggers called it the end of a perfect day for their batting averages.
 Farley worked in midseason form, having perfect control and letting the fren sluggers down with five widely scattered hits. Farleys showing has dis pelled all cause for worry over Howard s pitching staff.

Lessons of The Liberty Loan.


Now that the second Liberty
Loan is an accomplished fact, we
can look back and estimate its
significance. both spiritual and
material, to the United States.
Boersianer. the analyst of fin
ance. writing in the January
number of Hearst's Magazine.
tells us that it Is the largest sub
scription in the annals Of finance.
whether made by a government
or a private firm. From the
moral and the financial momen-
tum accumulated. as well as
from the almost inexhaustible
resources of the country. he
finds it only natural that the
second appeal should have
brought a larger response than
the first; and he predicts that
the same forces will be at work
to make the response cumulative
in whatever succeeding loans the
government shall ask. This au-
thority brings out with force and
clearness the contrast between
our own loans and those of Ger
many. which are paid. not in
cash. but in promissory notes.
The effcts of the latter system
on prices of commodities and the
value of currency are such as to
make us modify, to a very large
extent, the apparent value of the
German loans. The financial
implications of the American re-
sponse are most encouraging,
though they might easily have
been lost sight of by people in
general, ifit were not for such
explanation as that given by
Boersianer's article.
