LOCAL. UMPIRES TO FORM
 NEW BOARD OF OFFICIALS
First Step in Organization to Be Taken at Meeting
 Called for Monday Night-Leading Arbiters in the City Behind the Movement - All Candidates for Membership to Undergo An Examination Organ ization Will Be Welcomed by Managers and Fans.

The first step in the organization will be taken Monday night at a meeting of number of those inter- ested. The session will be held in the Herald office and will be att tended by those men who have been working at semi-pro and amateur games in this city for a number of years.
 Among those who are backing the movement and will probably be members of the board if such thing is created, are Eddie Crowley, Mike Lynch, Larry Mangan, Arthur Campbell. Mickey Noonan, Jimmy Maher, Jimmy Greene and several others.
 At the present time, this city has no board of umpires although this territory is covered in other sports by basketball and baseball officials. It is thought that for the good of the game, an association of recog- nized and capable baseball officials will be popularly received both by managers and by fans.
 The purpose of the board will be the formation of an association of umpires all of whom will be recog- nizcd because of their membership on the board, as arbiters who are efficient and able to handle baseball games. The board. as constituted, will receive applications from those seeking membership aand will put candidates under examination be- fore membership will be granted. This will include the organizers.
 Although some suspicion has been expressed in certain circles that the umpires arc forming a union that will demand a certain sum of money for services, this will not be Consid- cred by the board at it's meeting. This is not given as one of the pur- poses of the organization. Uniformity in interpretation of rules and the conduct of the game. l the elimination of rowdyism and systematic decisions according to the conduct of players and arbiters. will be some of the things for which the board will strive.
 | The session will be started at g o'clock All in the city who are recognized as baseball umpires, arc invited to attend the meeting.

By the Associated Press,
 Most of the baseball news so far this season has been that the fans are due 10 get a good supply of bar gain bills in another month or so. Double headers have been piling up at rate of almost one for every two games on the major league schedule during the first week of the cam paign.
 From Monday, the opening day, through Friday, B games were card ed and only IS were played, most of them in the west The American league was the worst sufferer with nine of tho 15 postponements.
 The four western teams of the Ma ttonal league. the only ones 10 get through all their games so far, pro- vided most of tho action yesterday and Cleveland and Detroit alone did the honors for the American league.
 At St. Louis, Bill Hallahan of the Cardinals turned in one more of the brilliant pitching feats that have marked the start Of the season to beat the champion Chicago Cubs. II 10 l. Hallahan still was Wild Bill" giving nine walks. but when he got the ball over the plate the Cubs swung in vain at it. Eleven struck out while only two hit safely. Tolson and Taylor connected for singles fol- lowing an error in the sixth inning for the only Cub run.
 The Cardinals. who have done most of the heavy hitting so far drove Guy Bush from the mound with II hits in five innings and con- tinued their mauling against Lon- nie Warneke and Lynn Nelson, a pair of recruit right handlers.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates, with old Ira Flagstead in the lead. did some timely hitting against Jakie May tc take their third victory in four starts from the Cincinnati Reds. to 3 Flagstead hit single, a triple and two doubles in five times at bat. Jess Petty, though wild at times. was ef, fective on the mound for the Pirates Ethan Aliens second successive home run and a pinch double by Harry Heilmann brought the Cincin- nati runs.
 With Wesley Terrell, young right hSnder taking up his good mound work where he left off last season. the Cleveland Indians handed thc Detroit Tigers their first defeat ot the season. The score was to Terrell did not allow more than one hit an inning until the ninth. The Indians were able to bunch hits of Ownie Carroll and were aided con- siderably by the wildness of Art Her. ring. his successor, and Bill 10. gell's four errors.

 ter-Stanley Works Losing Both Scott and Greene.

 The real dark horse of the league this year will be the New Britain Gas Co. team. the newest entry into Industrial athletic circles. Judging agcr Jim Lynch can pick his team, the Gascos will be ono of the strong est outfits in the circuit.
 Looking over the strength of the Gascos, one is convinced that this aggregation of ball tosRrs will be near the top during the entire cam paign. The team has a perfect bat tery in "Huggy' Carlson, formerly with the Pirates and leading pitcher in the City league last year and "Wally' kopec, backstop of the Falcons. With the addition to the working force of Ernst klopp, main- stay of the Cardinals in the City league of last year. the team has another crack pitcher.
 For inficldcrs, the Gascos have Johnny Nlatka. Falcon star on first base, Johnny Shcchan on second, Willie Wojack on short and George Fields on third. In the outtield. the team has Steve Dudack, Frank Shec- han, Car Restelli, Mccormick, Barnes and possibly several others.

Eli SWordsmen Romp 0H With
 Two Team Championships

New York. April 1o fP-Thc doughty swordsmen Of Yale have romped off with most of the honors in the Intercollegiate Fencing Asso- ciation's championship.
 Yale not only won team titles in the epee and foils division but tied the United States Military Academy for the three weapon championship as we'll.
 Fencing in hard luck the Army was forced to content itself with seconds in each of the three di- visions-foils. epcc and sabers. Army's three seconds gave the cadets a total Of 15 points in the battle for the thrcc-Weapon title. Yale collected the same with two first and a fourth in sabres. Yale, the defending champion, will hold the three weapon trophy for six months and Army for the other six months.
 With little more luck the Army might have taken both the sabre and foils championships and with them the three weapon title clear and undisputed. In sabres Army tied with Columbian defending cham pions in matches won and lost but the Lions were awarded the title because their representatives had scored the most touches. In foils Army tied Yale in matches won and lost but the Ellis were adjudged the winners because their swords men had lost fewer bouts than had the cadets. Navy, defending cham pion in foils, placed third.
 Two of the three individual titles also went to Yale, Captain Edwin l.. Hill winning the epce and John r. Potter the foils championship. The sabrcs title went 10 Joseph C. East of the Army.

HAITI REPORT
GIVEN HOOVER
BY COMMISSION
Wise Administration and
Small Outlay of Cash
Held Remedy.
BIZ United Pre-.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March 2o.-Pres-
ident Hoover had before him today
a clinical chart of Haiti's ills, a pre-
scription for its every ache and
pain, and fair assurance that one
Of his biggest Latin-American
problems could be solved by wise
administration and a small outlay
of cash.
The Haiti commission of inquiry's
report stands now, the President
said, as the basis of Americas Hal
tan policy.
The recommendations call on the
United States to help make Haiti a
country Of and for HaitianS. Mean
while, however, this country is to
lend steadying hand to the gov
eminent of the small revolution
torn republic.
Marines are to be withdrawn
eventually, but only when Haitians
have established a strong, steady
government capable of maintaining
order.
The commission, which has just
returned from the island, made the
following recommendations TO Mr..
Hoover:
Assign American naval and
marine officers to Haiti for at
least four years and choose those
who will stay there after the pres
ent treaty expires if the Haitian
government wants them.
Provide a continuing appropri-
alton to be spent for roads by the
Haitian government Keep exist
ing roads in repair before build
ing new ones.
Do not object to a moderate
reduction" in customs duties, in
terna1 revenue taxes, especially
thoseon alcohol and tobacco, or to
a reduction or elimination of the
export tax on coffee, if the treas
ury's condition warrants it.
Mr.. Hoover was asked to recog-
nize the temporary president of
Haiti when he is elected, provided
President Borno and Opposition"
leaders keep their promises of a
lair election, and to send to Haiti
American officers free from strong
racial antipathies."
