SAN BERNARDINO. June 6.-The
Woodill-Hulse baseball team of Los

afternoon defeated the local team by
the whitewash route, the score being
to o. Arthur Hensling, the little sill
ver-headed twirler of the Vernon team
of the Pacific Coast league, was on the
mound for the San Bernardino team
and was greeted with great applause
as he came upon the diamond, as ne
formerly twirled for the local club.
The pitching of Charles Miller for
the winners was of excellent order, the
latter striking out ten of his oppo-
nents and allowing but five hits, while
Hensling struck out three and allowed
four hits. Jess Wilson for the winners
circled the bases for a double. Musty
Emery, credited to be the best hitter
in the California Summer league, got
two hits out of four times at bat, one
of them with two men on bases, scor-
ing both runners. The losers were
chalked up with a double paly, Lamar
to Dye to Layer. which, by the way,
was one of the fastest doubles wit
messed on this field for several weeks.
Bill Lane umpired the game to the
satisfaction of all. The score:

The first genuine cross country Hight
with a heavier-than-air machine VIII pc
made by the Wright brothers next
Thursday, or soon afterward, between
Fort Myer and Alexandria, Va. A i've
mile course has been marked out pc
tween these places, and the operator
must fly the aeroplane. over it and back
without alighting, and must carry one
passenger. The tests are to be made
between June 10 and June 2S, and on
meeting the requirements the govern
ment will pay the Wrights S25,oOO for
one machine. The flight should be an
extremely easy one for either of the
Wright brothers.
"We are buying the aeroplane just
as we would buy a wagon or team
of mules" said Major George Q. Squier,
acting chief signal officer, in discussing
the Wright trials. I'VE want the ma
chine to do a certain duty. The Messrs.
Wright have the machine that we
would like to have If it will do this,
and from what l saw of it last summer
I am hopeful. If we take over the ma
chine the Wrights will school our Of
ficers in it's use, and then we will util-
ize it for practice in the army"
In the opinion of the Wright broth
ers the main use of the aeroplane in
war will be confined to scouting and
quick delivery of messages. Concern
ing the much discussed question of the
feasibility of dropping projectiles from
aeroplanes. Orville Wright said few
days ago:
''It seems to be the general belief
that shells could not be thrown from
any great height with accurate aim.
This may be true, and it may not be.
1t has not been tried. The effect of
currents of air on the course of shell
from the clouds could be calculated, as
it has been in naval gunnery, and with
plenty of target practice there is no
reason why an aerial gunner should
not rival a naval gunner, who is able
to hit an object several miles away
while his vessel is rolling in a trough
of the sea.
'If the man in the aeroplane or dirig-
ible balloon ever could attain a degree
of accuracy that would enable him to
drop a shell into the smokestack of a
naval vessel he would become more for
midable than a fleet of iron men-of-
war"

A revolver contest between the Smith

Springfield Mass, and the Los An
geles Revolver club took place yester-
day, each club shooting on its own
range and exchanging scores by wire.
The conditions were ten men on side,
thirty shots per man, ten shots on
target at fifty yards, the standard
American target being used. The Los
Angeles teams total was 2506, an ave-
rage of over SO per man.
During the entire morning the light
was ideal for good shooting, but in the
afternoon the change from a cloudy sky
to bright sunlight made it more dif1i-
cult to make. good scores On the local
team were A. b. Douglas, Will A

STANDING OF THE LEAGUE

The last series of the Southern State
league was played yesterday afternoon,
and after the game between Redondo
and the Florence-Grahams it could
easily be seen that Redondo Beach
club wins the pennant by forty points,
securing it's lead the fourth week and
holding the same up to the final game.
Rivera finished in second position by
a safe margin, defeating the pennant
winners the two games they played,
but were losers to several of the second
division clubs Gardena took third
place, winning the last eight games
played by the excellent pitching of VIII
holt, who lost only four games out of
fourteen played. The Thistles finished
in fourth place and the Dyas Clines in
fifth place.
Pico Heights started out as a PEN
nant winner, but Manager George
Reeves had poor luck in keeping his
players together, which accounts for
his classy bunch being down in the
percentage column. Downey, the home
of Wild Man Bill Lane, suffered q
slump after he was graduated into
faster company. Florence -Grahams
fight for championship honors and both
landed at the bottom of the league
column in the percentage division.
There will be a meeting of the league
managers next Wednesday to close up
league matters. The following clubs
will in all probability join the next
league, which will be formed shortly
Pico Heights, Thistles, Dyas-Clines,
Gardena, Downey, Venice, San Pedro,
Hermosa Beach and the Edisons.
