their leisure time such occasions Foremost among
the occupations planned is practice in teegraphy. All
of the men of the signal corps expected to know
something of the practical side of elegraphy and this
accomplishment will be especially essential

United States army officers propose to carry by

the for this work short telegraph lines
constructed the College Park field with sending and
receiving stations at opposite of the building and
at almost hour of the day members of the detach
ment can be found at the keys at these stations.
How late in the autumn the aeronautica activities
will continue at College Park will be dependent Of
largely the weather. The government has
leased its aviation field until next March, with privilege
of renewal and in the that the coming winter is
open it would not be surprising If continues
off and all through the winter The men of the
plane detachment be made comfortable In their pres
entent quarters, and the machine is well housed The
experience which the members of the aeropane detac

international aviation meet is held in this country

France few months ago.
1t will be remembered that the United States army
balloon squad did efficient connection with aero
nautcs at the jamestown exposition and the of
the great international balloon St. Louis. The
same proficiency could be expected of the army

FALL RACING DATES.
Brighton Track Had Cold Feet-Now

NEW YORK, July 10-The subject of

various racing associations, and before

matter will be issued by the Jockey Club.
Several conferences have been held re-
Gently by those who control the game. and
the result OF it all may be taken as an
almost certain indication that dates will
be assigned 10 the local track some time
between now and the beginning Of the
Saratoga meeting.
Sheepshead Bay will in all probability
resume after the close of the Spa with
TIE running of the rich Futurity. the two
year-old feature of the entire year
Gravesend. Empire and even Jamaica and
Aqueduct will follow in order. The most
surprising thing about the consideration
of fall dates is the application from
Brighton Beach. Owner Engeman would
hold meeting there this fall. despite the
fact that the track is now partially dis
mantled. Cows Craze on the lawns and
the inclosure surrounding the old club
house is piled high with old lumber
Horsemen are not In favor OF seeing

PIRATES WHOP GIANTS
SUM'P'N SCAND'LUS.

NEW YORK. July 10-Those Pirates
have been dieting on raw meat and pow
der. They took the Giants by the nap Of
the neck again today and shook and
mauled them roughly. 1t was mere pas
time for them to beat the New Yorks.
and the farther the game proceeded the
more pronounced became the fact that
the Giants were beyond their depth. But
what can be expected when your oppo-
nents are lot of hairy-chested burles
VINO pay no attention to slants and
shoots, and are not satisfied unless they
are welting the ball to an adjacent
planet?
There wasn't any such rush to see the
game as to the double-header the day be-
tore. The attendance wasn't as large by
5000. Maybe some clairvoyant read in
the stars that the Giants were down for
another hiding. Maybe Leach Wilson,
Wagner and few more ball breakers
visited palmst, who read the home run
lines in their horny hands.
Probably 1t was just natural reaction
that reduced the size of the crowd, but it
was whopping big crowd all the same,
permeated for the mos, part with in
creased respect for the Pirates. Barney
Dreyfus succeeded in getting in to this
game. He and his small son tried to get
in Friday, but We're lost in the shuttle out
side the breastworks.
There was a general impression that
Mathewson would pitch today. but he
reported with an arm tnat was stiff and
lame, and McGraw dug up Wiltse to face
the skull and cross bones terrors again.
He faced them all right. but they laced
MIN. He was long way from the BAT
fling pitcher he was on Friday. The bat
ting Of the Pirates was as clean and
powerful as the blows of a siedge nam
mer. 1t ripped and tore on airline
flights. The little and big Pirates put
their weight into their swings, and when
they did hit safely the teders hadn, a
chance, except to chase the bail after 1t
landed. Two home runs. a trip.e and
three doubles were part of the Pittsburg
ammunition.
