To BLESS
LEVINE FLIGHT
b InternatiOnaI News ssrvics

BY International News Service
ROME, Oct. 3.-All the future
flights Of Charles A. Levine, owner
Of the transatlantic plane Column
bia, will be blessed by the Pope.
The assurance was given to the
New York flier today by the Pom
tiff himself, when Levine was re-.
ceived in audience at the Vatican.
The Pope received Levine pr.
vately, the meeting lasting fifteen
minutes. The Pontiff asked Levine
about his transatlantic flight, In.
quiring if everything had gone sat
isfactorily.
Everything was all right" re-
piled the American, adding:
Il am happy that L have been
able to receive this audience with
your holiness"
The Pope, who appeared to be both
interested and moved, responded:
II am glad to receive so famous q
man. am going to bless all future
flights OF yours"
The papal blessing was extended
not only to Levine but to his rela.
tives.
After kneeling and kissing the
papal ring, Levine. at his own re.
quest, was taken through a secret
door to avoid the newspaper re-,
porters waiting for him in the ante
room.
Levine's first attempt to see the
Pope last week failed because he
reached the Vatican too late.

w. G. Hinchcliffe. an English air.
man, and carrying Levine and q
heavily yelled woman, flew over
Mt. Vesuvius yesterday.
The trio reached the Centrocelle
airport at IL o'clock and hoped off
for Naples. After circling the Bay
of Naples and dipping over the
crater of Vesuvius, the Columbia
returned to Rome.
Levine may soon have q royal
passenger for his plane-the famous
Prince Louis Ferdinand, nephew Of
the King of Spain--who is anxious
to visit his cousin, Queen Marie
of Rumania, via the Columbia.

DORCAs QUILTING PARTY
AMERICA MAY
GUT TARIFFS

Article 315, the equalization clause
of the Observation-Disclosures tariff law,
today was seen as a definite avenue
of adjustment of the tariff con-
troversy between the United States
and France.
When the American Government
replies, probably this week. to the
note. dispatched by. France on Sat
urday, it is expected to inform the
French government Of a readiness
to have the United States Tariff
Commission begin an immediate in.
vestigation of present day produc-
ton costs in France with view
to possible readjustment of rates.
This investigation would be under
the authority Of Article S15.
If the investigation should show
a material change in manufacture
ing costs in France since the pas
sage Of the Fordney-McCumber law
in 1922, when the present rates
were fixed, it was indicated today
that this government then would
be inclined to seriously consider a
revision.
But such revision would not be
exclusively for the benefit Of
France.
Any other country dealing in the
same products would receive similar
benefit.
This course would meet the
present French situation without
sacrificing the American position,
maintained since the present con-
troversy broke a month ago, that
the United States cannot discrim-
mate in favor Of one country.

Condition Of Snyder's Arm
Has Indian Pilots
Puzzled.
BY Eddie Ash
Times Sports Editor


SANFORD, Fla, March 23,-
Bruno Bethel and part of his large
squad of Indians left their training
camp here Tuesday night for three
day sojourn in West Palm Beach.
A three-game series is carded with
the Cincinnati Reds, the opener be-
ing slated for this afternoon. The
Tribe FASTENERS will be away from
Sanford until Saturday.
Pitchers Bakos and Schemanske,
Catcher Snyder and Infielders Hun
ter and Comello were left in Sanford
to do some light exercising while the
main squad is away.
Manager Bethel said Tuesday night
the next cut in the Tribe roster prob
ably would include Hunter, Comello
and Bakos. He is trying to place
Hunter and Comello, infelders, with
Eastern League clubs, and Pitcher
Bakos with a Three-Eye League
team. He wants to put the young
sters out on option.
The condition of Catcher Snyder's
Pthrowing arm has the Indian bosses
puzzled, and immediate efforts will
be made to obtain another backstop
to share the heavy work with Paul
Florence. Snyder's throwing shows
no improvement and he fears he is
through with baseball. He is having
it treated regularly, but it has failed
to respond to date.
A wire was sent Manager Bush of
the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday
night, asking him to give the Indians
first chance at his surplus catchers.
The Tribe still has Shorty Kugelman
to help Florence, but Shorty is too
short to fill the bill in the American
Association.
The sum total Of the Tribe outlook,
therefore, is not glittering at this
time. The club is weak behind the
bat, in the outfield, and a second
southpaw pitcher is needed. Accord
ing to Owner Smith, additions will
be obtained in time to give Manager
Bethel the necessary strength to
make a good start in the A. A. race.
Tribe headquarters at West Palm
Beach will beat the Pennsylvania
Hotel.
President Smith and Vice Presi-
dent Smith lodged the weary all
night ride and remained in Sanford.
They are working on player deals.
Catcher Snyder was the only
player excused from the hard prac'
tice Tuesday. Pitcher Steve Swe-
tonic again pleased the club Off
Gals with his dazzling curve ball.
The Indians hope to grab at least
one of the three tits with the Reds
in West Palm Beach. The victory
over Baltimore Monday put some
pep into the boys. 1t was Balti-
more's fourteenth game this year.
and only number three for the In
dams.
"War Horse" Ralph Miller, util-
ity performer, works out at first
base and shOrtstOp every day. He
is first on the field and last to
leave.

ia INJURIES
'HO . UP
NJ A JOR S
Clubs, Nevertheless, Will Be
in Great Shape for
Start.
Ey Henry L. Farrell

United Press Staff Correspondent ,s
NEW YORK, March 23.-Making
due allowances for the spree that
the weather sometimes takes in late
March and early April, it is safe to
believe that the best conditioned
bunch of ball clubs in years will
open the major league season.
The usual run of training camp
injuries have occurred, casualties
including Walter Johnson, Bucky
{ Harris, Ray Schalk, Babe Ruth and
Johnny Mostil, but good weather
which prevailed during the training
season in the South spared most of
the managers the grief and worry
of lame old arms and stiffened old
legs.
Condition of the athletes at the
start always means much and it may
be q bigger factor than ever this
year in deciding the pennant win
hers.
Importance of Start
The Importance and the value of
a flying start were demonstrated
last year by the performance of the
New York Yankees, who went away
so fast to a commanding lead that
they never were caught up with in
spite of a most annoying late sea-
son slump.
The Jump this year, with
strength in both leagues SO closely
grouped among four clubs in each
circuit, will be more important than
ever. That managers of the con-
tending teams realize the strategic
value of a fast start has been plain
ly apparent by the zeal they have
employed in getting veteran pitchers
ready to work from the very start.
The Washington club has been hit
particularly by injuries. Walter
johnson was pitching to the batters
in the Washington camp at Tampa
when he was felled by a line drive
that struck him on the ankle. A
bone was fractured, and with the
fondest hopes for a quick recovery,
it is not likely that the grand old
veteran will be able to work during
the first month of the season.
Bucky Harris was also disabled
when he cut off throw from the
outfield in an exhibition game and
iambed up the index finger on his
throwing hand so badly that he may
be out of the game for weeks. Even
if he is able to start the season he
will not be at his best.
Harris Stresses Pitching
Harris along with other competent
critics, has stressed the necessity of
a lot of good pitching from the Wash
Z ington veterans to keep the club in
company with New York, Philadel-
pl1ia and even Detroit, club that is
getting more and more attention as
a possibility.
The chances of the White Sox-
figuring that only the Boston Red
Sox seem TO be hopelessly out of the
runn1ng--were almost ruined by an
injury which fractured Schalk' s
hand and more particularly by the
act of Johnny Mostil, whose self-in-
f1icted wounds may have ended for
all time his career as baseball
player.
The White Sox can carry on for
while without Schalk, but they GER
tainly cannot find a player of Mos
tits class and ability to fill the gap
in the outfeld.
Babe Ruth's injuries-C Charley.
horse and strained muscles-are not
serious. The $4,000 per- star has
not. recovered as quickly as expected
and while he is still linning around
he ought to be able to work out of
it before the season opens.
