Says German Planes
Need Better Engines

BERLIN P0-Airplane engines con-
stitute the chief problem confronting
German aerial navigation today, in
the opinion of DR.. Walther Huth,
president of the German Airvehicle
Manufacturers association. German
engines, he stated at the annual
meeting Of the association, are not
big enough for transatlantic flying.
While airplane and airship construc-
ton is on high level in all other
respects, he observed, the question OF
more effective engines must be given
special attention. DR. Huth agrees
with Clarence D. Chamberlin, who
emphasized that trans oceanic flights
are simply question of bigger and
better engines"
Director Otto j. Merkel of the Luf-
thansa, another speaker at the an
nual meeting, agreed with DR.. Huth
as far as motors are concerned, but
insisted that numerous instruments
for night and fog flights be added
to the equipment of air pilots before
flying will be perfectly SAFE

League and st. Louis club making up
the difference of $40 a share.
The owners rejected the plan.
Leo j. Bondy, attorney for the

ing that he would draw up the in
junction application in New York.
The papers will ask that Heydler and
his umpires be restrained from bar
ring Hornsby. The Injunction must
be sustained or denied in five days,
Bondy said, adding that while an In
junction secured in New York would
not be effective in other States, a yio-
lation would mean contempt proceed

Heydler said the league would
fight the restraining order to the
last ditch.
Fair Dealing Must Prevail.
Although the meeting failed TO I'M
scramble the stock matter, ii re-
suited in the magnates reaching the
conclusions that good sportsmanship
and fair dealing must prevail ahead
of either interests of a player or a
club.
This was made known in a state
ment by Heydler, who also said the
owners in an effort to prevent a
repetition of the present controversy
would recommend the amendment OF
uniform contracts so as to hence
forth provide that player or man
ager in signing such contract certify
that he is not a stakeholder in any
other club.

ing Cincinnati, was represented at

and pass the ball to one of her team.
mates. And this because her opponent
committed an errorl This psovision
in the ruling Is totally unfair in my
estimation"
Miss Parker, explaining this phase
of the ruling to Miss Jones, urged that
the rule be revised so that the play
er fouled against would not be penal
lied for her opponents mistake.
The ruling reads now Penalty for
Over Line.-Ball goes to opponent out
Of bounds"
Miss Parker suggests an amend
ment which would read that If the
player in possession Of the ball or any
player on her side is called over the
line, then the ball should go to the
opposing side out of bounds. But in
the event that the team not having
the ball is over the line, then the
player in possession of the ball should
receive an unguarded shot from where
she stands.
Miss Parker and Miss Jones agreed
that this would be much more fair
than the ruling as interpreted at pres
ent. Miss Jones indicated that a
change would appear in the ruling
for 1929. II the change suggested
above does not meet with the approval
of the rules committee, then another
suggestion will be made--that in case
of violation on the part of players
without the ball, no penalty shall be
called. This at least would eliminate
the present unfairness to the player
holding the ball at the time the viola
ton is committed.

be a distinct feeling that both hands,
not one of them, are doing the work.
You can even make this lifting Of
the clubhead away from the ball with
the hands, but be careful that In lift
ing ii away you do not lift 1t UP.
The trouble with trying to start the
club away with left.knee twist or
body shove is that the hands get LETT
behind, so to speak, and then they
have trouble getting to work as the
swing progresses. They are out of
step and 1t is then hard for the player
to catch them up and get them into
their proper action in the swing. Such
action is too much body and not
enough hands and arms. The hands
and arms make the swing; the body
merely follows. But the player who
shoves off with his body Is doing
things in the reverse manner. And
he's not going to have much luck
except Of the hard kind.
After the hands give the club its
start they are under way with their
work and will go on with it natu-
rally--that is, they continue to lead
the club back, as they should. You
have only to keep the right elbow
lightly to It's resting place against the
right side as the club Is started back
and see to it that the left arm crosses
over directly in front of and close to
the body. Gig. % Keep the left arm
from showing out The elbow should
point downward, not toward the ball
Make a few practice starts OF the
clubhead away from the ball with the

easy it feels to be. Zig. 81 Compare
son of such methods with the awk-
wardness of starting the back swing
with body twist or shove should
quickly convince you of the important
part the hands have In the swing.

For the Spring exhibitions, the
Nationals now have a record Of 10 vic.

has been the Giants who have given
the Harrlsmen the worst of the deal
in 5 Of 10 encounters, 1t does not seem
likely the latter will improve their
training season record TO any great
extent during their brief sojourn here.
That 5.to-1 licking sustained in
Washington yesterday was the fourth

Maybe their peevishness will turn
the Nationals into real fighters in the
short stay here. They have been fight
ing right along, of course, but fight
ing the ball mostly instead of the
other team. It was this ball-hghting
brand of play that accounted mainly
for their downfall in the last OF the
Washington exhibitions. Diversion Of
this fighting spirit into channels lead
ing to a pool of playing effort might
bring about better teamwork and more
satisfactory results.

McGraw's warriors. Alvin Crowder,
surprisingly we'll since he learned his
stomach affection really was nothing
serious, expects to break into one of
the tilts at the Polo Grounds. And it
would occasion no surprise should Irv-
ing Hadley, still on q diet to rid his
tummy of pains, go to the hill this
afternoon.
After celebrating over the matter
about six hours yesterday, Manager
Harris decided there was nothing to
be gained by him from this trip to
New York With his battered finger
swathed in bandages of both cloth
and rubber, the pilot figured a few
special treatments he could get today

in Washington would be worth much
more than watching from the sideline,

unsuccessful charges.

Although there has been no official
