WIRELESS MESSAGES SENT FROM
 KTTR.

An interesting feature of the Los. Angeles Aviation Meet was the use of Sis Perkins's. man-carrying kites for the transmission of wireless messages. This experiment is not only an enter
 ta1ning novelty, but has a very red value both in war and peace, as, by use of a kite, an aerial wire can be sent up several hundred feet within a few moments. In. a campaign this device might be of the greatest value. Calls were sent from various parts of Southern California, from San Diego, Catalina Island, and from ships at sea- Roy Cheminant, operating Un the field, sent out a clear, strong call from the Wireless kite which attracted the attention1 of operators in every direction. The kites as man-carryfng devices have proved a success, Per- kins having made several ascents on the cable during the aviation meet, reaching an altitude of three hundred and eighty-five feet. This feature Of the device would also be of great value in warfare, as an aerial scout could be sent up at short notice, and would form a very difficult mark for sharpshooters while making observe tions. Unless the man or the cable were hit there would be no serious mishap even if the string of kites were punctured by buiIets.-From fhs October Strandtts sYot9ertroo 7o vf01s

Leo Louck Beats.
 Big Frank ManteI|
Pride of Lancaster Has Advan- tage Over Providence
 Mitt Artist

Leo Houck of Lancaster, Pa, trav- elled hand over hand toward the mid dleweight championship title by trouncing Danny Morgan's protege, Frank MonteH of Providence, R. l., in a 10-round bout at the National Sporting Club, New York, last night. Houck cut and smashed Mantell in nearly every spot above the waist line.
 Mantell started off with rapidity to rob Houck of his 'laurels as a fighter, but after the first round his inten- tions were rudely checked. Houck' s right uppercuts to the face proved an effective burglar alarm and stopped MontelPs work. In the fifth and eighth rounds, with blows of that character, he nearly dropped Man tell, but Frank saved himself by clinching.
 MantelPs work in the opening ses- sion was excellent He sent over in quick succession three hard rights to Houck's face. Fortunately for the Pennsylvanian the blows landed light and did little or no damage. After that session MantelPs work faded away to a mere ripple of his earlier attacks. He made one rally in the ninth and cut Houck's nose with a stiff left, but soon stopped fighting to cover up.

 SALE TO BEST BIDDER

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 22.-"Philadel- phia capitalists" are said to be pros- pective purchasers of the Atlanta Southern League baseball franchise, which today will pass out of the hands of the local street railway com pany. One report in circulation. is to the effect that Connie Mack is inter- ested personally in the transaction. z
 Philadelphia, Sept 22.-Inquiry among baseball men in this city fails to throw any light upon the owner ship of the Atlanta baseball club. Connie Mack, manager and one- fourth owner of the Philadelphia Americans, denies he is party to the reported deal. The other part own CTS of the Athletics also say they know nothing of the sale.
 Chicago, Sept. 22.-tI am not in terested in the purchase of the At lanta baseball club franchise and do not believe any of my friends know anything about such a deal" said Horace Fogel. head of the Philadel- phia Nationals, when asked regarding the report that Philadelphia baseball capitalists were seeking the Atlanta franchise.

YALE TO LOSE CRACK
 END IF BOMElSLER'S
 INJURIES ARE SERIOUS

New Haven, Sept a2-It became known yesterday that because of an old injury, Yale may lose one of the most promising of the candidates for the football eleven this fall. That is Douglas Bomeisler, who played end on the varsity early last year. When it is considered that he won this place on a par with Fitzpatrick and Brooks. one can realize what a loss he will be to the Blue eleven.
 Bomeisler underwent an operation on his knee in July in order to cure the injury of last fall, and he has not recovered from it. As a result while the other candidates for the team are lining up flor signal drill, Bomeisler just runs about the field, strengthen ing his kne.
 Trainer Mack is of the opinion that Romeisler may be in shape to play in three weeks. That keeps him off the team nearly till the West Point game
 Bomeisler is tall and strong and ranks with Fitzpatrick and Shevlin as an end There had been talk of nov ing him into tackle or guard on ac- cbunt of his great strength and speed He is one of the most popular mem- hers of the squad and is very gritty His brother is also out for the team.

BILLY LUSH LEAVES
 YALE BASEBALL TEAM.

New Haven, Coma, Sept 22.-Wil- liam l.. Lush, coach of the Yale base ball team since 1905, announced yes terday that he would not return in the spring to take charge of the work His reason for leaving is that he has other business plans which will neces- sitate his leaving the city, Since the close of last years baseball season there has been much talk among the Yale athletic authorities of putting the baseball coaching on an amateur basis However, nothing has been done that would lead to the belief that Lush would not have been re- tained if he had desired to stay.
