Just the one run that they could
mt get. kept the ball players of the
cruiser California from conserving
their resources and those of their
shipAates yesterday. Just one run
to the good was the Tennessee nine
at the close of the last inning, but
that one run carried whole lot of
California money aboard the flag
ship.
1t was rip-smashing good game
and the Tennessee boys certainly de-
served all of the glory, and lucre,
that they picked up. From the in
slant that first ball whizzed over the
home plate until the last out was
called at the end of the ninth, 1t was
work, work, work.

and get better results. Wednesday

How the Machine Is Made.

The body OF the machine is COM

above the other. They are connected
b, stout. light framework Of wood

two similar but smaller surfaces of
canvas. and it is these that guide the
machine upward or downward This
part Of the apparatus is operated from
the body OF he derOplane and is the
most delicate part of the construc-
ton. The rudder is at the center
in the rear and consists Of two up

operated from the aviaJor's scat The
