DUMONT'S BALLOON
Another Trip in His Air Ship An Ac-
cident at Close of the fest

Paris, July I'm Santos Dumont, the
Brazilian aeronaut made the official
trial Of his balloon in the attempt to
win the prize of 100, 900 francs offered by
Henry Deutsch for a manageable bal
loon, before a committee of the Aero
Club today. Starting from the Pare de
Meudon he reached the Eiffel in quar-
ter of an hour and after sailing around
the tower, started to return to the
Pare de Meudon, but lack of
motive power necessitated a descent at
Boulogne Sur Seine. The trials will be
resumed later.
The condition for the winning Of the
Deutsch prize is that the trip from st.
Cloud to the Ei1el tower and back must
be made in half an hour. Santos
Dumont started at 7:45 o'clock a. m.
He reached the Eiffel tower in fifteen
minutes, turned around it and had be-
gun his return trip when the motor fail
ed and the man ripped the silk Of his
balloon, fearing disaster unless he
could quickly reach the ground.
The balloon pitched forward,
head foremost into a clump of trees on
the Rothschilds estate near Boulogne,
where it was caught and suspended in
the branches on the opposite side Of the
Seine from the starting point. Santos
Dumont was not hurt.
A number Of spectators congregated
on the platform of the Eiffel tower to
watch the trials cheered the hallOOnisf
as he rounded the tower.

The Champions and Hornets met yes
terday on the home diamond and in
hotly contested game, although nearly
devoid of any especial features, the
Wilmington team defeated the visitors
from Charlotte by the score of TO 1.
The home supporters had their first
opportunity of seeing the pitching OF
willig and they are delighted and en-
thusiastic over his work. His control
was good. his head work all that could
be desired and already he has become
a favorite with the grandstand. While
he is not such a great striker out
pitcher yet his curves cannot be hit
safely and his speed is very good
Probably the biggest feature was the
long running catch of a fly from Swan
der's bat by Cranston very near the
fence 1t brought forth a mighty cheer
from the granstand and the little
player had to bow his acknowledge
ments to the crowd.
For six innings beth teams played
such swift and sure ball that neither
one could cross the home plate, though
players reached third two or three
times
In the seventh Wilmington went to
the bat, determined to do something,

off Thackera. Clayton flies to Murray.
The Charlotte boys even up in their
half of the eigth. Weaver gets safe
hit. Bigbie is hit by pitched ball and
goes to base. Swander advances both
by a sacrifice hit to pitcher. Murray
flies out to Cransten. but Weaver comes
in. Knau hits to Warren and is out to

In the eighth our boys add two more
runs TO their score and the lead is such
that the visitors cannot overcome it

safely, scoring Cranston. Thackera
hits to Bigbie who touched third base
outing Warren. Stewart, who had re-
lieved McGinnis, hits safely and Sebrins
scores. Frost ends the game by flying
out to Swander.
The game was pretty contest all the
way through and was interesting to ths
large crowd of spectators. 1t was the
intention of the management to have
a double header but the condition of the
grounds in the early afternoon prevent
ed it.

NOTES.
1t was a disappointed crowd because
two games were not played. They
wanted Wilmington to win them both
and thus ''cinch'' first place for whlie.
Willig is good pitcher and we were
fortunate in securing him.
The team work of our nine is superb.
The boys play together like veterans
and that is responsible to a great ex-
tent for our fine games.
Wilmington is now at the top and

Berlin, July 13.-Ir the complete alb
sence of other political interests this
week, the great trial Of the thirteen
Polish students charged with belong
ing to secret political societies at vari-
Gus German universities, organized to
promote the national aspirations of Po-
land, attracts much attention. The ex-
not, up to the present time, developed
any sensational features. They all de-
ny the charges of participation, know
ingly, in illegal societies.
The most sensational feature of this
trial, so far, has been the throwing up
Of their briefs by the leading lawyers
for the defence, protesting against the
rigid limitations prescribed for them by
the court.
In connection with the Posen trial, the
German newspapers print information
concerning the Polish national fund at
Rapperscnwyl, Switzerland, which was
collected chiefly among American-Poles.
This fund now amounts to about SAG, 900
and continues to grow rapidly. A news
paper, referring to the matter says:
''The purpose of this fund, as stated by
the Polish managing committee, is that
it be used, at a given moment, with
all it's power, in support of political ac-
tion."
The official publication of those who
have in hand the collection Of this fund
says the only institution openly work
| ing for the independence Of Poland is
'The national fund"
Other developments of the past week
indicate further Polish activity. Be-
sides the decision of the German au-
| thorities to prosecute the sixty Polish
| students at Thorn. in West Prussia,

Polish political organizations, the Pol.

fuegos; the relr5gflde movement to-
wards Key West: the effectiveness OF
