Jack Hendricks is enthusiastic over
the two Tribe rockies, Pitcher Fftz-
simmons and Outfelder Hamel, and
considers the former Central Leaguers
very hot prospects. That was the
opinion the Indian pilot expressed
after the Columbus series which closed
Thursday. FItz was used on the
mound twice, once against Toledo and
once against the Senators, and he not
only won his games but he displayed
the earmarlzs of a youngster who has
learned his hurting lessons early.
AS for Hamel. Hendricks says this
youthful fly chaser has everything ana

fast as a streak and possesses a fine
throwing arm. He hit well enough IN
the Toledo and Columbus series, but
Hendricks is not ready to pass final
judgement on his batting prowess until
he has faced more Class IA pitching.
Both Fftz and Hamel will be used
regularly on the Western trip. The
introduction of young blood already
has caused a few of the Indian veter-
ans to hustle more than was their
habit before the NIuskegon boys joined
the team.
The Indians were on their way to

open their farewell western jaunt
with the Blues Saturday. Jess Petty
twirled the Tribesmen to a 9-to-1 vic
tory in the wind-up game at Column
Gls. He gave up only four hits. This

Hcently and he doubtless will be
mainstay next season. The Hen
dricksmen pounded the ball hard
Thursday and collected fifteen hits.
Batting averages are coming up
again. Windy Lotshaw, club trainer,
was given a chance to perform in
the ninth. He was sent up to bat for
Purcell and he sacrificed. Windy is
a grandfather, but he still has youth
fuI ways. The old boy helped the In
dams win the pennant in 1917.
Tom Whelan, Tribe utility man,
has gained the consent of the club
to leave before the season closes if
he obtains a football coaching posi-
ton. Hoosier colleges and high
schools in need of coaching help
would do we'll to look up Whelan's
record. He was a brilliant end at
both Dartmouth and Georgetown in
his college days and received all
American mention. When Tom used
to smash interference, it ratified and
scattered. He hit like a ton.

CRIMINAL JURISDICTION :,

something else. There should be no

Uncle Harry Talks About
Retumding Foreign Debt

"Uncle Harry, what is meant by
'refunding' the war debts that the
Allied Nations owe the United
states?" asked Helen.
and Uncle Harry can you tell
us what the new Allied Debt Fund
Commission is?" added Joe.
well. I see that you have been
keeping UP with the news Of the day
and very important news this is'"
replied Uncle Harry. 1T is i'm
portant because this question OF for
oign debts is closely connected with
financial matters within our own
country and our nations financial
relations with all the leading coun-
tries OF Europe.
Giving Nations Longer Credit.
But first l will answer Helen g
question. Refunding a debt simply
means renewing or extending a loan.
The Allied nations borrowed from
the United States during the war
100000. 900. Now Great Britain
is a wealthy and powerful nation
and the government is anxious to pay
back to the United States the full
$5.OOO,00O,0OO that was borrowed to
help pay the cost Of war. But Eng
land like every other country that
was i'm the war. went heavily in debt.
II is going TO take England many
years to pay off all her financial OBJ
legations. When our government
loaned the money to Great Britain,
the original agreement was that
England should pay it back in a
comparatively short time. Refunding
that debt which England owes the
United States means renewing the
loan; in other words. giving Eng
land a longer time TO pay back the
money that she borrowed. Under a
bin passed recently by Congress no
debts which foreign countries owe
the United States may be extended
or refunded for a period longer than
81 years. or at a rate of interest of
less than four and a quarter per
cent II at the end of that time.
England has not repaid the entire
loan, doubtless Congress will con-
slider a bill which will provide for
extending the loan for another period
Of twenty or twenty-five years
