AIRSHIPS DRIFT
ABOUT IN THE SKY
Are Liable to Fail at Any
Ones Fe.t With Scientific
Instruments

If a small basketlike contrivance con-
tain.ng a bunch of intricate appliances
and complicated instruments should top
pie down from the skies into some good
Wilmingtonian's back yard to-day or to-
night he need not be alarmed under the
impression that the thing has fallen from
Mars or has been thrown down here by an
explos on at Etah.
Drifting over the country are several
such affairs all attached TO small balloons
and they are liable to drop anywhere.
They were sent aloft by the United States
Weather Bureau for scientific purposes on
Sunday, and while none of them were
liberated in the immediate vic nifty Of Will
mington, it is believed they are just as
likely to come down here as anywhere
else.
The balloons, with their little baskets
carrying scientific instruments, are sail-
ing under such unusual and heretofore un-
tried conditions that anything concerning
their movemets Is all conjecture. Thus
they may come down on the peach basket
hat Of a Market street promenader, on the
wiry pate of the President Of Haiti, or
they may never come down at all.
The little q rships are expected to at
tain or to have attained a height OF 10
miles. Two were attached to each basket.
At an altitude Of $500 feet the weaker OF
| the two balloons will collapse, and the
other. not being abe by itself to sustain
the weight of the suspended basket and its
cargo, will gradually descend to the earth.
The instruments in the basl els we adj
iusted so as to accurately measure and
register the atmospheric conditions both
upon the ascent and descent Of the ba,-
looms
II they are recovered by the Weather
Bureau It is expected the automatic OBJ
servations will be Of great value to Cow
ernment scientists. The balloons were sent
un simultaneously from Mount Weather.

finding one Of the things will kindly re-
turn it to Mount Weather and receive the

Brother Farley was then taken out of the. box and Messenger Boy ''Jum" Warner substituted. "Jum'' did much better only one Orator making the circuit Mccarthy was hit hard by the Ponies but kept the hits well scat- tered so that they did not figure very much in the run column. Every man on the Bridgeport team connected for a hit except Captain Phelan, though the first sacker contributed a sacrifice which helped in the scoring. Kocher. the Orator catcher though he suffered with 2 badly injured thumb was in the game and did finely. The score:

Jack Johnson, heavyweight cham
 pion of the world. will have an ex- cellent chance to disprove the asser- tion that he is over-rated when he hooks up with Jack O'Brien at the National A. c. of Philadelphia to- night. The men are matched to box
 six rounds at catch weights. O'Brien says he will surely outpoint the big negro. while Johnson declares that he will score clean knockout unless the
 crafty Quaker runs away from him. Johnson is feet E5z inches tall and
 will weigh not less than 205 pounds when he strips in his corner. O'Brien Is s feet 10k inches tall and will scale at about TO. maybe a couple of pounds less As this is the first ring battle in which Johnson has participated since he stopped Tommy Burns in Sydney. Australia, last December. in the fourteenth round. yporting men all suit with unusual interest
 OBrfen. says the New York Sun, is faster man in every respect than Johnson He is a greater boxer. He has had a world of experience. but he lacks the hitting power. it is believed, to put the negro away. In a fight to finish Johnson would surely win be- cause of his strength and endurance; But in six rounds it is admitted that O'Brien has no superior when it comes down to a question of rapid fire attack and generalship. That is why ring sharrs hold the opinion that if O'Brien adopts the tactics he used in the re-. cent encounter with Ketchel1 he will make Johnson hustle to get an even break. O'Brien knows that Johnson is a dangerous proposition in half clinch- es and that he can inflict much pun fshment with short hooks and upper cuts. which were fatal to Burns. For that reason O'Brien intends to box at long range. using as much ring room as possible and setting such a swift pace that Johnson will find it impos- sible to reach him and also to ward oM the shower of jabs and swings that will come his way.
 This is the way the bout is sized up by good Judges who. however, stipu- late that the men must fight on the square. If there is any indication that the affair is prearranged 'stalP' that will result in much harm to the regulations of both men as we'll as to the puE1listfc game. Johnson's strong est point is an fmpregnable defence He lacks aggressiveness. He seldom rushes into slugging bees. thereby leaving himself open. and depends wholly upon his ability to block punch es and hold an opponents bfceps in the clinches-a trick that few pugi- lists have been able to work as sue cessfuIly as the big black man. On
 puEffistic dope" there is not much up- on which to compare the respective merits of O'Brfen and Johnson. They have never met before, and O'Brien has never tackled such men as Fergu- son, Langford. Jeanette and Mcvey, Both have boxed six rounds with a negro called Black Bill. no decision be- ing rendered. Johnson has knocked out Jim Jeffords. a second rater. in
