Paris, Aug. I'M Le Blanc to- day won the last and deciding stage in the worlds greatest cross-country aeroplane race, 494 miles, completing the final stretch from Aniens to Issy, 70 miles, 16 minutes ahead or M. Auburn, the only other competitor in the race at the finish
 By his victory Le Blanc wins the $2O.0OO prize offered by Le Matin, and other prizes that bring the total up to s47.000.
 Le Blanc made the flight from Amiens in one hour and 42 minutes, having started at 5:02- Aubrun left Amiens at 5:10 and reached Issy at 7:01, his time being nine minutes slower than Le Blanc's.
 A corrected count of the distance travelled in the six legs of the race which included successive flights to Troyes, Nancy, Mezieres, Dual Amiens and thence back to Issy, and the time made shows that Le Blanc covered 494 miles in Il hours and 56 minutes and Auburn in B hours and 37 minutes.
 Paris got up early to witness the finish of the thrilling race. the long est ever attempted by aviators. Thou sands gathered at Issy during the night and by dawn the parade ground and most of the vantage points in the city and suburbs were crowded.
 As Le Blanc appeared over the city a tremendous cheer arose and con tinued almost without interruption until both he and Auburn, who came into view a few moments after Le Blanc, had alighted. War Minister

LE BLANC WINS CREATESTI CROSS- COUNTRY AlRSHIP RAGE
 AND MOBBED BY FRENCHMEN

Brun and General Dalstein. the miIi- tary governor of tParis, were among the first to greet the winner They and hundreds of other men of promi- hence had been at the parade ground since 4 o'clock
 Le Blanc flew over the heart of Paris, passing by the top of Eiffel tower. Aubrun flew at much great CT altitude than Le Blanc but he fol- lowed practically the same course Le Blanc stopped his motor when near the landing place and glided to the ground. Aubru-l's aged father greeted him with tears and kisses
 The aviators were raised to the shoulders of their excited friends and borne to waiting automobiles and a parade around the grounds was be- gun. No more enthusiastic demon straton has been seen in Paris in years.
 The parade finally headed for Paris and through crowded streets of hysterical Frenchmen it drew up at the office of Le Matin which planned the race and gave a prize of s20,000 to the winner.
 c1uding four from the army, made the flight from Anniens to Issy. Lieu tenants Letheux, Aquavive, Cammer- man and Vullierme, Legagneux and Bielouvice all made the trip. Sev- eral other aviators met the racers outside the city and acted as an escort to the Issy parade ground. Lieutenant Lucas was one of these. He flew from Gillacoudray, 10 miles from Paris, and was the first to alight.

 Kocher joined the Bridgeport teams at the beginning of last season be- ing obtained by Manager ORoUrke from the Philadelphia Americans His engagements prior to that time were with semi-professionaI and fndepen- dent teams around his home town. Whitehaven, Pa, and with New JeT- sey teams Last year with the Ora tors under O'Rourke's. direction he showed signs of developing into a classy back stop. This year those marks were brought out more so than ever. Kocher developing wonderfully under the tutelage of Manager McCann His most noticeable improvement has been in his batting, his hitting this season being at least fifty per cent. better.

Besides pitching, Snyder was an all around utility man, fitting in equally well in any position. His ability in this respect was fully dem- onstrated when Bobby Stowe was laid up with injuries, asd when other players had to leave the game for various reasons.
 Swanson is obtained by McCans, not so much as to strengthen this years team, but to be secured for next season, when McCann intends to land a pennant winner. If at any time during the past season, we have said anything against Swanson, we take it eall back he's "beautiful fellow"

According to story printed in a.

 New York, Aug. 17.-As far as fight ing goes Bill Lang of Australia, is still mysterious unknown his pro- posed fight with Al Kaufman at the Fairmount Athletic Club having been called off by the police acting under orders from Acting Mayor John Pur- roy Mitchell, who ruled that the star bout would really be a prize fight in stead of a boxing exhibition.
 Under the New York law boxing established athletic clubs open to the members only and participated in by members only.
 Despite this law, it is estimated that $15,000 worth of tickets had been sold for the fight last night and this, a great sale of tickets, was what caused the action Of Acting Mayor Mitchell in stamping it as prize fight. The tickets had been sold under the

While sitting on the New Britain players bench talking with Joe, he told me lots of incidents that have happened this season in the State League. Here is what he said about New Haven: T had rather play in New Haven than in any other city on the circuit. The New Haven fans as a whole know how to treat a base ball player and I like the town and the people. I would like to play on the New Haven team as I have al- ways heard it's a great team to work with There is less trouble in a game in New Haven than in any other town where we play

THE SPEED OF
By EDWIN TARIssE

THE scientists are these days investigating all man
! her OF queer things, among them the speed OF
thought. The question has been put: How fast do
nervous impulses travel along nerves, and at what
rate, therefore, at the thought we conceive when trans
formed into nerve force propagated from brain to
the muscles they are destined to lring into play?
Nerve force. according to the best authorities, has
been duly measured in respect of it's speed by the
aid of the elaborate apparatus with which the physi-
illogical laboratory today is supplied. In man the
average rate has been set down at about ia feet
per second.
The above statements have reference to the rate
at which messages of the bodily telegraph system
are sent from nerve centers along motor nerves or
those destined to bring muscles into play. But a
second class of nerves exist in the body, and these
last are called sensory, because their duty lies in
the opposite direction.
They convey messages from the body to nerve
centers, these last acting, like the police, on in
formation received, and dealing with such messages
as occasion and our bodily interests demand. 1t
would seem that conduction in the sensory nerves
is quicker than in the motor ones.
Investigators give different rates, varying from
about 16S feet to CTS feet per second; an average
rate being about 2S2 feet.
The Psychologist has made many interesting
studies regarding what is called our reaction time.
Here We endeavor to calculate the interval which
elapseS between the impression made ON our organ
of sense and the making of a signal which registers
the impression as received by the brain and trans
lated into terms of consciousness. Helmholtz slim
ulated one hand, while the other signalled the re-
ceipt of the impression.
Different results due, no doubt, to the VARYING
nervous capacities of the individuals were obtained.
In one series the interval averaged O.1OS7 part of a
second, and in another 0.1911.
Signalling to the eye by means of a light demand
ed for its reception and demonstration 01139 of a
second. In the case of a sound interval was
ol36o. An electric spark u I'D to stimulate the eye.
the signal being given by the lower jaw. gave as
reaction time O.1377 of a second, and by the foot
0.1S40.
Age makes naturally a vast difference in the &C.
tVlty OF our nervous processes. A young mans in
terval was 0.3311 of a second, while an aged mans
reaction time was 0.9952.
