DURANGO, Spain, May 21.-(Special Dis
patch to The Bee.)-Two aviators, Mr.
Gibbes and M. Prevotan, who had been an.
nounced to make ascents from Durango
recently, narrowly escaped with their lives
owing to the violence Of the mob.
Fifty thousand persons had assembled or
the ground, and they got angry at the
delay in making an ascent. They invaded
the aeroplane shed, threw stones at Tho
aviators, and the gendarmes charged tho
crowd several times.
At length M. Prevotan decided to make
an ascent, but as he came outside tho shed
he was hit by stone and badly injured
At the same time some youths pulled dowr
the tent in which girl accompanying Mr.
Gibbes was sheltering, whereupon Mr.
Gibbes struck one OF the lads with ham.

with rage, and a shower of stones fell
upon the luckless aviators, who had to be
escorted from the field by gendarmes.
The mob thereupon smashed up and
burned all the sheds and destroyed the ma

WRICHTS AFTER MORE HONOR
Dayton AviatOrs Propose to Break
Records in October.
ARE AROUSED BY EUROPEANS
Reports that French Machines Are
More Capable Spur Brother
Inventors 60 Greater
Efforts.

NEW YORK, May H.-There is almost
certain to be at least one Wright biplane in
the 1910 International aviation meet, which
is to be held on Long Island next October.
There is a possibility that several aero
planes built by the Dayton inventors will
be entered.
orville Wright explained last week that
Il was a matter comparatively easy OF ac-
complishment to build bIplanes of the
Wright pattern to make almost any speed
that was required. or to carry any number
OF passengers within reason that 1t might
be desired to take aloft For instance a
speed of sixty miles an hour could easily
be attained by machine specially built
for that purpose, but that aeroplane would
be good for mighty little else. Mr.. Wright
said, than this speed work.
In the same way machine could DC con-
structed with an eye solely to it's carrying
power. SO that, II It was wished to take
up some 200 or 800 gallons for long flight,
wherein rapidity OF motion was less a
desideratum, than duration, this could be
accomplished with ease and certainty.
These remarks were taken to mean that
the Wright brothers intend to 60 after
some records-speed, altitude and duration
during the international meet. Although
they themselves will not drive the ma
chimes, with a bare possibility that Orvillc
will go up, but almost none in the world
that Wilbur viii do SO at that time, some
of Orville's cleverest pupils will undoubt-
eddy get their opportunities at the lnterna-
tional meet TO show the stuff of which
they are made and how thoroughly they
have learned their lessons.
Although neither Wilbur nor Orville
would say So 1t may be said on the very
best authority that, rather than see their
pupils fall down in their efforts to prove
the speed and stability of the Dayton in
vention, one or tho other Of the brothers
will make ascents with view to ending
for many day to come the report that
foreign machines are swifter or better
adapted to long cross country flights than
tho Wright product
1t is now being planned to organize the
international meeting on a tremendously
large scale, and already assurances have
be,n given of ample support for making
the meet the principal sporting attraction
of the season. The financial arrangements
have been placed in the hands of Andrew
Freedman and Lawrence L. Gillespie, and
they will shortly select q third man to
cat with them.
| 1t is stated that very considerable sum
will be appropriated for prizes, and that q
novel Program, including manocuverings
and experiments never before attempted ir
public, will be arranged.
Undoubtedly the chief event will be the
contest for the international cup and tho
5000 purse which accompanies 1t. Blu
surrounding this event will be others cal
culated to test to the full every possibilit,
of tho present heavier-than-air machine.

AUTO ROAD RACE AT LOWELL
Plans Being Laid to Make the Event
Quite Eventful.

NEW YORK. May 21.-There is a strong
movement afoot to hold an automobile road
racing meet at Lowell. Mass, this autumn.
II the promoters carry out their plans sue
cessfuly the added event to the seasons
great motor racing card will be welcomed
by all followers of the sport. Lowell was
originally scheduled for road race on the
American Automobile associations calen-
dar. The date set was September g.
Shortly after the issuance Of the schedule,
however. the Lowell Automobile club
backed down and the prospect OF racing
in the Merrimac valley was given up. The
present movement plans to hold two-day
race meet the middle of September.
Just what results will be met with is
problematical. The situation is clearly up
to the citizens of Lowell. If they will help
out and support the races, the Textile City
will surely be the scene of big road meet
ing This is the substance of a statement
issued by John o. Heinze, who has been
the prime mover in automobile racing at
Lowell. According to Heinze the American
Automobile association is ready to sanction
meet, and the manufacturers to enter
cars II the Lowell business men will come
to- the front.
1t Is understood that Heinze will make
strong effort to swing the Lowell Auto
mobile club around to his way of thinking
He recently returned to Lowell from a trip
to this city While here Heinze conferred
with people interested in the speed game
and was given to understand that a meet
ing at Lowell would be very acceptable
He was given to understand that the ven
ture would be supported enthusiastically.
III the event of the plans being carried
out, the same course will probably be used
as last year. The raceway I'm the Merrimac
valley is we'll suited to motor speeding, pro-
vided 1t is put into proper condition. Sep
TENDER 16 to II have been suggested as
that steps will be taken shortly to secure
kthe passage of the legislation necessary to
permit the closing of the roads on the
racing days.
Speaking of the situation recently. Heinze
said
Personally l will be saved much work
IL the citizens of Lowell do not want to
have them. although / am convinced that
! to have them would undoubtedly be a good
thing for the city. There are going to be
races somewhere in New England this fall,
and Lowell is Thought of seriously by all
OF the men in Boston and New York who
have ever been here. They consider the
town the logical center for races in New
England. II obstacles are put in the path
of promotion of this race. then the work
which will be put in by any one or two
men Is hardly worth while. If. on the
other hand, the citizens really want the
i races, then they can have them"

Gloom PervadeS
Hawkeye Camp
Weather Prevents Training and Prac-
tice March Puts Star Athletes
Out of Condition.

IOWA CITY. Ia. May M.-(Special)-
Weather conditions and the practice march
OF the University of Iowa student regiment
has lowered the Hawkeye stock. so far as
winning the Missouri Valley meet, TO be
held at Des Moines next Saturday, is con-
cerned. The rain has retarded Track Coach
sphinx" Delaney in his work, and Iowa S
star hurdler Wilson. was compelled to
march eighteen miles and sleep outdoors
for three days because of the regulations.
Baer, one Of the best quarter milers and re-
lay men in the squad, was subjected to the
same discipline. AS both men are not
hardened to the exposure and are not of
the rugged temperament 1t Is expected
their work In the Missouri Valley meet will
not be up TO previous records made this
year.
Coach Delaney is exerting every effort
TO have his men In the best of condition.
The throwing out of the hammer, which
was announced officially this week. has
put him on edge and he is strainlng every
nerve to have the Hawkeyes in the front
rank when the sum totals are figured up
next Saturday evening. Tallman, his best
Splinter, also quit on him this past week,
but Delaney has not been daunted by the
repeated setbacks.
Because of a failure to turn in the en-
tries on time. Oklahoma universitys track
team will be barred from the meet next
saturday. This was the decision of the
games committee at Des Moines this week.
1t was also decided that the American
Athletic union rules would govern the run
ming Of the relay races. Under the Amer
lean Athletic rules flying start of twenty
feet is allowed. This will make the races
much faster and prettier to watch.

Fairmont Race
is Now Assured
Effort to Be Made to Make Road
Event Larger Than Ever
Before.

NEW YORK, May 21.-Alresdy they are
commencing to prepare for their annual
automobile road race in Philadelphia. II
is now assured that the Paramount Park
event viii be held. II any belief existed
that difficulty would be encountered in
staging the third revival OF the Quaker
City's motor speed classic It has been re-
moved by decision Of the Fairmount Park
commission. Ara recent meeting of that
board permission was granted to the
Quaker City Motor club on October 49, AS
the permission OF the city authorities has
already been secured, assurances are at
hand that Philadelphia will again have a
speed spectacle in It's front yard.
1t is understood that the Quaker City
Motor club will endeavor to make the race
bigger than ever this year. The ambitious
Quakers believe that It can be made a
worthy rival of the great Vanderbilt Cup
and Grand Prize meetings. They point
with pride to last years race and declare
that the 1910 revival will be even better.
OF course, all this will be very enjoyable,
and auto race followers hope that the
Quakers will carry out their plans in full.
The same rules that governed last years
event will prevail. Such general salts
faction was expressed after the running Of
the 1909 race that 1t was not deemed ad-
visable to make any changes in the con-
ditions. The policing of the course itself
a mammoth task, with the racers plunging
over park driveways and through city
streets, was all that could be asked for.
However, it is understood that the course
will be made faster. An attempt will also
be made to secure big entry list. All the
leading drivers will be sought. as well as
the highest powered cars.
Secretary H. c. Harbach of the Quaker
City Motor club made the formal request
for permission to use the park. He said
that 1t was the purpose of the club to
ask the Department of Public Safety to
supervise the police arrangements and the
Department of Public Health and Chart
ties to look after the financial returns. The
proceeds of the grand stand seat sale,
parking places and similar sources Of rev.
enue will again go to Philadelphia chari-
ties.

Freddie Welsh
Strong Favorlte
with English
Britishers Placing Large Sums at Two
to One that He Will Whip
Mcfarland.

LONDON. May n.--Considerable betting
is being wagered Of the international
twenty-round contest between Packey Mo
Farland and Freddy Welsh, which IL 70
take place at the National Sporting club
Monday evening, May 30. the eve Of the
big Derby race. No contest held here fol-
the last decade, not even that between
Tommy Burns and Gunner Moir, has ex-
cited the interest OF the coming clash be-
tween the light weights but according tc
the wagers already registered. Welsh will
be an almost to favorlte on the night OF
the bout. One of the-bets recorded has
been $500 10 $3.50. while the other was s125
TO $40. Mcfarland himself being on the
short end of the last.
The purse for which this pair will con-
tend $500, exceeds every sum ever offered
by the National Sporting club except that
given for the Jackson and Slavin go eigh-
teen years ago. and II is by far the biggest
prize ever held up for lightweights to fight
for in this country. Mcfarland is training
at Jack Straws Castle" a charming
pleace on the top OF Hampstead Heath,
where Tommy Burns. frankie Neil. Jimmy
Walsh and other American fighters have
prepared for previous contests. In addi-
ton to that Kinnealley his manager, and
PaclSy will have the benefit of Jimmy
BIRTHS knowledge. the versatile James Ed
ward being already one of the most i'm
portant chiefs at the quarters. George
Blake, the Los Angeles amateur, who is
now in London on trip around the world,
will also give his assistance to the lad
from Chicago.
In the American sporting colony Nc
Farland's SUCCESS is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion. Blake, who witnessed the
twenty-five-round draw between Pacly and
Welsh at Los Angeles has stated that he
was unable TO find any excuse for Jeffries
calling that fight a draw, as Mcfarland
clearly had the better of It, Since his fake
fight with Jack Daniels at the Kings hail
on April Is. Welsh has lost considerable OF
his waning popularity and not many tears
will be shed over his defeat, but his box
ing has been a revelation to them here, and
as blood is thicker than water, they dc
not think that the American lives who car

MALIET PUTTER CAUSES TALK
Abolition by st. Andrews Has an
International Bearing.

Abolition by st. Andrews Has an
International Bearing.
NEW YORK, May 21.-The recent aboll-
ton of the maIlet putter by the Royal and
Ancient Golf club of st. Andrews, the
Oldest golf club In the world, has brought
forth a considerable discussion of the
question on both sides of the Atlantic
The mallet putter, and in fact many of
the freak clubs which have come into the
game of golf during the last few years.
and which tend to make radical departures
from the old style, are for the most part
American Innovations, and the action by
the rules of golf committee is taken by
some as direct slap at the golfers on this
side of the water.
However that may be, the fact remains
that the action has international bearing
Both American amateurs and professionals
have been in the habit of taking trips to
the other side and testing their mettle
against the foreign experts, and with the
old IL shaped putter, the only one that
can be used on the British or Scottish
courses, the Americans will find them
selves at a great handicap when forced to
abandon their favorite club on the putting
green to take up the old STYLE Some, OF
course, have never given the mallet putter
a place in their bag, but there are many
with whom 1t is popular, and it is possible
that 1t will affect international play, for
the American will hardly feel that he can
afford to change clubs in accordance with
the British standard.
Then, too, there is a chance that the
golfers in the United States may feel in
duty bound to follow the rule which the
ST. Andrews club has put forth and pass
similar rule for this country, so that the
playing rules may be more nearly alike.
There is undoubtedly a sentiment among
many followers of the game in this country
that the mallet putter and clubs of a
similar nature are too radical departures
from the ancient game, and by them the
rule of the Britishers is looked upon with
favor.
Undoubtedly In the last few years freak
clubs for all work have been the order
rather than the exception. Putters OF every
nature have been thrust upon tho market
until now there are many which make the
play on the putting green moro of a
croquet match than otherwise. Tho swing
savors decidedly Of the eroquet style
Whether the mallet putter really makes
the putting on the green easier or not is
much of a question: with strong sentiment
arrayed on both sides. At any rate, those
who use the mallet must get better results
with it than with the original type, and
the ban on the American club will I'M
doubtedly affect the play of many British
players.
