College Park, Md, Oct. S.-For the
first time in American history, an ero-
plane owned by the United States
government rose in the air here today,
circled over the farms that nestle IN
the valley and sailed back obediently
to it's starting point to rise again.
Thus under the guiding hand Of one
of it's inventors, Wilbur Wright, 1t
flew Eve times in the dedication of the
governments tract of land to aviation.
With almost ideal conditions, few
spectators and scarcely enough
breeze to send the little cups of the
thermometer around at the rate of a
mile an hour. Mr.. Wright began the
flights to teach the officers of the Sig
nal Corps bow to handle the new ma
chine of war he has made for them.
It was the first time he had ever
driven Miss Columbia" Off the start
ing rail at 335 o'clock he circled the
field for three minutes and SKINNED
along rs feet above the ground.
Again at 400 o'clock Mr.. wright
was off for another flight. This time ne
was in the air five minutes. AT 4.oi
o'clock he started away to return after
about five minutes. Each time he mao
kent to the reservation grounds.
Lieut.. Lahm then took his place III
the extra seat.
AT SIS o'clock the American inven'

ing off in the air Up they rose to tho
highest altitude attained during u"
afternoon, probably to helght OF lo'
feet. Instead of limiting their course
to circles over the government reser-

ward Washington in hardly more than
as MANY minutes. AS they sailed over
the last remaining acres. owned by TN

Lord Baltimore built more than two

machines shadow the British trod
nearly 100 years ago as they marched
from Washington to Baltimore durinG
the War of 1912. In a few second
more than five minutes after they had
loft the ayiators landed, within 90 feet
of the starting rail.
All the afternoon Lieut.. Humphreys
had been starting the propelers. At
last Mr.. Wright beckoned to him to
take his place for his first ride in an
aeroplane The next minute the two
were off. Five more and they had fin
ished their circles OF the field and were
bringing the machine to a halt along
side the starting rail.

assume direct responsibility for the

About Two Hundred British

New York, Oct. Six of the great

tleships-put out to sea through the
Narrows just at dark tonight, leaving
behind a substantial number of their
men. Just how many of the bluejack-
cts remained in the city, for one rea-
son or another, is a matter of official
knowledge only, but it is reported that
200 men from the British ships failed
to turn up for duty. OF the French
men it is said that only three out of
the $500 sailors stayed behind. Fleet
officers remained to search for the
men OF both squadrons.
When the British squadron visited
New York several years ago it lost 800
men. English sailors have many
friends here and in addition the lure
of American wages sometimes proves
irresistible.

inning, winning the game to @.
1t was great battle until the
ninth inning, when everything
seemed to go wrong for the tribe.
If they were not standing around
letting the ball drop between them
they were throwing over each 9th
ers heads.
1t was one of the hardest games
of the seaoson and the finish was
bitter disappointment to the large
number of fans at the game. Port
land did the same stunt as Spo-
kane yesterday. After having held
game the Colts went to pieces in
the ninth inning, losing to Seattle
to 2.
Up to the ninth inning the score
was 2 to / in favor Of Spokane.
1t was not Jensen's fault; he pitch
ed good ball, but luck seemed
against the tribe. In the ninth
Paddock opened with a single to
right center. Davis beat out a
bunt to James, but Nordyke failed
to cover first base and he was
safe. Cartwright was safe on a
sacrifice and Flanagan followed
with a safe hit between Clynes and
Brinker, scoring two men. Cart
wright scored on Snyder's infield
after Swain had famed. Scharn-
weber's fly ended the suspense.
The score.

l have received several letters
of late asking me at what age a
ball player is at his best. You
never can tell what base ball fan
will shoot at you next.
One would suppose players were
at their best in the early twenties,
when youth and vigor are unim-
paired, but this is not always a
fact.
Ty Cobb. the American league
champion base stealer, hitter and
run getter, is only a youngster. He
was wonder at 20; at 20 he is
simply marvellous.
Sam Crawford, the great outfield-
er and slugger of tht Detroit team,
is much older Crawford must be
80 at least. Laioie is SO, and is as
good today as he was eight years
ago. Willie Keller, one of the
greater hitters base ball has pro-
duced, isn't far from 40, but he has
been good for decade or more.
Hans Wagner is about 35, and is
better today than ever. Roger
Bresnahan is perhaps %. Addie
Joss is 29. Fred Clarke, probably
the best left fielder in base ball, is
all of So.
And so it goes. Some of them are
great just after reaching their ma
Jority, while others do not reach
their best form until after they pass
the third decade Take as a gen.
