The Northwestern Baseball
League has closed its most success
ful season, with Seattle as the pen
nant winner and Spokane a close
second. The other contestants were
Aberdeen, Portland, Vancouver and
Tacoma, finishing in the order
named. The season has been reason
ably profitable for the leaders,
while the other teams have Just
about broken even. 1t has been ten
years since Seattle won pennant
and the Turks" were not headed
during the whole season. The 1908
pennant was won by Vancouver,
while the year before that Aberdeen
was on top.

MONSTER AIRCRAFT WILL START
ON A CRUISE, THE OBJECT OF
WHICH Is TO BREAK RECORD
OF COUNT ZEPPELIN.

Indianapolis. Oct. 3O.-Every man,
woman and child who lives in Indiana
will be given an opportunity to name
the largest dirigible balloon In the
United States. This privilege is ex-
tended to Hoosier inhabitants by the
G. L. B~umbaugh of this city, because
the ship is purely an Indiana product.
The airship will be launched about
the middle of next week, and plans are
being made to make it a notable event.
Ever since the Wright aeroplane cir
cled the Statue Of Liberty at New York
recently. and the consequent world
wide interest in the feat. local aero
nauts have been DESTROYS to show that
they can approach hat performance.
Accordingly, Capt. Bumbaugh has
decided to circle the Soldiers and Sail
ors' monument in this city when he
takes his big craft on it's maiden jour
ney to the clouds. He is confident of
success. The dirigible balloon was
built in this city, and is now housed
in the aerodome at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway. where it awaits IA
vorable weather conditions to be in
flated and launched. 1t represents the
dreams of a lifetime and typifies the
progress of mans achievements.
Want a Good Name.
The question of giving an appropri
ate name to this ship. which is next in
size to the one owned and operated by
Count Zeppelin of Germany. has been
perplexing. After making W or three
trips around the monument it is h in
tention of the Hoosier aeronaut tC

tempt to make a world-record- breaking
flight. Count Zeppelin has sailed TO-
about thirty hours without landing
Mr.. Bumbaugh believes he can put thi!
record to shame INT make a flight o
at least forty-eight hours. The bat
holds 100000 cubic feet Of gas.
With Goa gas it will lift 1000 pound!
and with hydrogen gas it will lift ZOO
