Machine Falls Blazing to the

GERMAN AVIATOR ESCAPES
He Is Unhurt, Although He Makes Thu

Took Place Diving a Flight
Near Barcelona.

Barcelona, July 2l.--While he was
making cross.country flight yesterday
aviator Ehrmann's aevopIane was struck
by lightning and fell blazing to the
ground. The aviator escaped uninjured,
which is regarded as almost miraculous.
There has never been a more startling
aerial exhibition than that which Ehr.
mann unwillinely afforded, and those
who witnessed it could hardly believe
their eyes when the airman emerged
from the singed framework none the
worse for his experience. He was sailing
along at a moderate height when DC
got in the path Of sky bolt Instantly
The aeroplane was snveloped in flames,
its canvas wings shriveied up and, cling.
ing to the skeleton Of his craft, Ehrmann
came down with a thud.
Aviator Ehrman heretofore has not

the novel accident oeeariing to him yes.

Long handed over one Of bis

like grim death. He figures It
would be the worst luck In the

pncticIng. and, you know, practice

when have a batting slump don't
worry about It / just get out IN the
mornings at the ball park and prac-
tiee hitting against all kinds OF twirl-
ing. / like to stand up TO the plate
and whale away at every old kind Of
pitching Some Of the boys are easy
to bit, while others are not. II all
helps me to recover my batting eye.
southpaw pitchers gave me consid-
cradle trouble at one Tine but that
was before | entered the big league.
They never even bother me nowadays.
Just watch me at the plate and you'n
learn the reason IN a minute Against
a right handed twirler ! crowd the
rubber and step into curve before i
breaks. Against a southpaw ! drop
back as far as possible and wait for
the curve 70 break. Getting down 70
dgures, should say that stand four
feet closer to a right handed pitcher
than do to a left handler.
