Like q jilting debutapte, the
Cleveland Indians are always
promising but never quite living
up to their promises. This year
they are more promising than
ever, but it would be futile to try
to guess their performance; one
can only figure what they should
do.
The team boasts some great
pitchers, a smalt catcher, fair
infield and a good outfield. 1t
also packs a healthy walicp, but
it is an unbalanced aggregation,
with a couple of question marks
at short and first base.
Wesley Ferrell is generally rated
the best right-hand pitcher in the
country and Oral Hilderbrand is
so good numerous scouts think
he will one day supplant Ferreu
as the ace of the Cleveland staff
COnnally Fair Pitcher
Harder, Hudlin and Brown are
winners and George G Rubber
Arm") Connally should and
could do far better if he would
quit experimenting during tight
ball games.
The team has some likely look
ing youngsters and two, of them
Ralph Winegarner and Balve
Bean might make the grade.
The Indians made a smart move
in getting Roy Spencer from the
Senators. Spencer knows how to
handle temperamental pitchers to
get the best results.
Harley Boss, who has a trick
knee, may be able to supplant
Morgan at first base, in which
case Morgan might be shifted to
the outfield where he belongs.
Burnett Has Rival
CisSell at second and Kamm at
third are good workmen but Jack
Burnett who hit .297 last season
will have to fight to hold his job
against Bill Knickerbocker, a
corking fielder but not much Of q
hitter. The Indians could afford
to carry a weak hitter at short
if he could plug the gap they
have had there for several years.
Earl Averill is the best out.
fielder in the American League
and Joe Vosmik is rapidly rising
to stardom, if indeed he has not
already reached there. But Dick
Porter. while a greatly improved
ball player, is several shades be
low the others.
The team does not bear the
earmarkS of a pennant winner
but it should land in the first
division and might conceivably
make things decidedly hot and
uncomfortable for the Yankees
and Senators.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18.-As-

til he meets the winner of the

pion and now a promoter, today

battle of the Makes"

'dreadnaught class" has been
created" said Dempsey.
"The regrettable death of Err

feet the future of boxing. Car

probably will put him under q
shadow. And, realizing that it
was an accident, / am sure that

tiatiOnS with Sharkey any time.
He's got to fight either Baer or
Schmeling to make his title
valid, and he's got to fight
them through me, because

"The fight should be ripe
sometime in September. Mean

Schmeling -Baer tangle.
CHICAGO OR NEW YORK
"The choice of cities has mar.
rOwed down to Chicago or New
York, but if it's to be in Chi

Legislature extending the limit
of bouts to Is rounds must be
passed, because these two boys
are too big to get going in any
thing under that.
"The way New York turned
out for the Schaaf- Camera fight

Baar would draw a record
crowd there, using either the
Polo Grounds or Yankee
Stadium.
"My top price is going to be
$40, shading down to $2."
Dempsey had been in confer

ALEX. HIGH FIVE
PLAYS SF|REMEN

One of the rare occasions in
Alexandria basketball history will
see the Alexandria High School
and Columbia Firemen in action
tonight in Armory Hall at $3.50
o'clock. Because of the. novelty
the game should be one of the
most thrilling of the season.
The high school quint, after a
bad start, has rounded into a
really tough team to beat, and
should make a formidable oppo-
nent for the Firemen, who have
been playing bang-up basketball
all season.
The game is being played in an
effort to raise funds to help put
a high school baseball team on
the field this season.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-How
fast can a human being travel?
Emmett TOPPING, chunky little
New Orleans flyer, thinks the
limit has not yet been reached
and he will try to demonstrate
that fact at the annual games Of
the New York Athletic Club in
Madison Square Garden tonight.
Gene Venzke, University OF
Pennsylvania freshman, who
holds the world record of 4:1O
for the mile indoors, will have a
triple incentive in lowering the
mark tonight; the satisfaction OF
setting it, the acquisition of a
beautiful trophy if he succeeds
and the defeat of Glenn Cum
ningham who beat him recently
in the Millrose games.
Percy Beard, champion timber
topper, has his eyes fixed on
the 60-yard hurdle mark, IA.
George Spitz, the worlds great
est high jumper, is going after
his own best mark of 6 feet 81
inches. A sprained ankle caused
him to flop in the Olympics, but
when right he can do 6 feet 4
inches without taking off his
sweater.
The sixth record to be endan-
gered is the shot-put and the
menace is Leo Sexton, New York
Athletic Club champion, who
holds both the indoor and outdoor
records. The indoor mark is So

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
A balanced budget, sound money and
an international approach to world
trade problems were recommended to-
day bv Alexander Dana NoyeS, financial
editor of the New York Times, for lead
ing the Nation out of present economic
conditions.
He gave his views to the Senate
Finance Committee after another news
paper eyecutive-Dick Smith, managing
editor of the Kansas City Journal-Post
had proposed an eight-point program
to uplift business,
Moves attributed present conditions
to the World War and the waste OF
that conflict and said it was debatable
whether they were worse than ever be-
fore.
Against Expedients.
THE path out of depressions was the
path of maintenance or restoration OF a
sound money standard and rejection OF
the eXpedients of inflated currency" he
said.
Others called included F. r. Fair
child of New Haven, E. T. Weir and
A. w. Roberton of Pittsburgh.
Smith suggested:
Limitation of unemployment relief
funds to the sums required, with local
aid, to furnish the necessities. and op-
posed public works as trying to lit
yourself by your bootstraps."
Bankruptcy Law Changes.
Government spreading of feather
pillow fer business to land on SO that
there won't be too many broken bones
and bashe dheads," with the belief that
changes in the bankruptcy law might
serve this purpose best.
Balancing the budget by reducing
expenditures, particularly by reducmg
payments to veterans, and sales tax
if new revenues were neces ssary.
Adjustment of international debts,
which Smith said should go hand IN
hand with" removal of trade barriers,
stabilization of debased currencies and
reduction of armaments.
Satisfactory settlement OF these
problems, Smith said, would be OF more
benefit to the farmers than half
dozen farm relief plans
Tariffs and Subsidies.
He said the farmer had been the
victim of a system of tariffs and SUD-
sides solely to the advantage OF his
Irban brother" adding:
The solution, then, must lie in Wlp-
ing out the special privileges that have
made it possible for industry and in
dlIstrial workers to hi-jack him, and
that have caused foreign buyers to take
revenge on him because their products
have been barred from this country.
