Beachy To Fly
 At Niagara Falls
Makes Trip Over Buffalo While the Wind is Blowing at Rate of
 Forty Miles an Hour.
BATTLES WITH GALE
Daring Aviator Who Performed Here
 Plans Perilous Air Voyage.

Buffalo, N. Y., June 23-Seeking new thrills in aviation, Lincoln Beachey, who is now the star Curtiss aviator, proposes to fly over the Canadian Falls at very low altitude, down in to the gorge and under the bridge lead ing across the gorge from the Canad- ian to the American side. He will continue his flight on down the gorge as far as his discretion dictates. He plans this spectacular flight for next Tuesday or Wednesday.
 Mr. Beachey has been flying but six months, having joined Glenn H. Cur tiss in California last winer He soon became proficient in handling the Cur tiss machine, and after a tour Of Cuba filled numerous engagements in the South.
 At Washington he flew from Ben ming and circled the dome of the Cap itol, thus earning the distinction of be- ing the first man to fly over the na- tional Capitol.
 At Bridgeport he took up a woman passenger to a height of several hun dred feet, and fleY far out over Long Island Sound When he had closed his engagement at Bridgeport he got into his machine and flew across the place at which he was engaged to fly.
 During the Curtiss exhibition here, this week, MT. Beachey went up in a gale, flying over the city of Buffalo in a wind of not less than forty miles an hour
 As soon as he had ascended he struck dangerous current a few hundred feet above the earth that seemed about to dash him to the ground. He controlled the machine, however, and went higher, finally reached an altitude of about twenty five hundred feet. Flying in the face of the gale his machine appeared to move at not more than five or ten miles an hour, but when he turned with the wind it was driven at a speed estimated at scarcely less than a hun dred miles an hour

PiTTSBURG LOSES PROTEST
 MADE ON BOSTON GAME.

Pittsburg, June 23.-Announce- ment was made yesterday that Pres ident Lynch of the National League has decided against the Pitsburg cub in the protest of the game won by Boston here on June 15 by a score of 8 to 2. The Pirates said a de- cision made by the field umpire should have been made by the umpire be- hind the bat. The protest was based on Section 3 to Rule 61 of the play ing code, which provides that in the case of runner being caught be- tween third and home with more than one base occupied the umpire in-chief shall make the decision on the runner nearest home.
 Lynch says the umpire-in- chief is only called upon to decide a play un- der this rule when a man is run down between third and home; in other words, on see-saw play.

BASEBALL NOTES GRABBED
 FOR ENTHUSIASTIC HOOTERS
Pitcher Gaiser Signed by New York Ameri-
 cans and St. Louis Gets Duggan

playing E1mira on the latter's grounds and in order to start a batting rally the Elmira manager rubbed sandpaper on the balls so that they would be a kick that the umpire ordered a dozen new balls thrown out. Then the Flmira crowd got sore. When Binghamton came to bat, Walker was the first man up and Pitcher Nagle of Elmira deliberately hit Dixie on the wrist with a fast one. Walker had to leave the game. Nagle is the same pitcher who was drafted by the New York Giants and returned to the minors this season.
 Barney, the Holyoke outfielder, ex- poets to catch on with Pueblo of the Western League.
 Cal Earthman, the Holyoke second baseman, had the hardest luck of any body in the bunch. He came from Fl Paso, Texas, about week before the Papermakers blew up. He hadn't received a cent Of salary and it's a long walk back to Fl Paso. Some of the other players agreed to help Earth man.
 Jimmy Hall has returned to his home in New York. He expects to join Erie, Pa, next week.
 Catcher Stone, the new backstop signed by Manager McCann, reported toS the local club this morning. He strolled into the Atlantic Hotel and stuck around in a leather chair until the manager tore himself away from the hay about 10:30. Stone, who is an instructor in the University of Yer mont, finished his college work Tues day. He stands five feet Il inches in height and looks like a good catch CT.
 Will Manager McCann be able to persuade the New York Americans to send Gaiser to Bridgeport?
 The Highlanders won the shortest game of the season from the Red Sox. four and one-half innings. The Red Sox might have let the rain win out had they loafed on the job.
 Detroit has at last lost more games than the Athletics. The Tigers now lead hy only game and half. Sort of eye-lash hold on first place.
 The Pittsburg team is the best Iit- tie protest-loser in the business. Pres ident Lynch has just decided against her for the third straight time.
 There is only four games difference between the first and fifth teams in the National League.
 The whackings that St. Louis is giving Cincinnati in the latter town are doing more to disturb Clark Grif- filth than anything that has happened this year. Grif sees a can approach ing in the offing.
 Donlin is still doing odd jobs for the Giants but has failed utterly to flash any of his old time brilliancy.
 Indian stoicism must be a myth. Big Chief Bender has been chased by the umpire in three successive games. All Bender did, yesterday, was to throw the ball over the grandstand.
 The Cubs tried a collegian named Ovitz in the box for one inning and the Athletics a college youth named Leonard. Both did so-so but no better.
 The busy little bees of yesterdays games were second Baseman Ball of the Maps and Shortstop Tinker with nine and fifteen chances respectively

 Tomorrow is Flag Raising day in Waterbury, and the Mechanics will meet the Pacers in a double header. The pennant which Waterbury won last year will be flung to the breeze, and it Is expected that a good crowd will turn out. Msnager McCann ex- poets to send Gibbs and Swanson against Waterbury.
 Catcher Si MoDonald of Waterbury, is hitting hard. He is about the most peppery member of the Pacers this season.
 Here's the way they encourage the players in Waterbury. Read these in the Waterbury Democrat:
 Chick Farrell uses about as much judgment as a demented person.
 '"The players claim Newton is a good ball player, but he never did much in Waterbury.
 ''O'Hara is playing an awfully poor game. He seems to be as cratic as a dirigible in a windstorm''
 This hasn't been such a bad season for Chief Miller, the Waterbury first baseman. He has hit the Bull Dur ham sign on the Waterbury grounds twice, and thereby received 100 cold simoleons.
 Ham Hyatt, the former Pittsburg utility man, is murdering the ball for Kansas City in the American Asso- citation. Hyatt has been shifted to the outfield and he is going so well that some major league club will buy him before the season is over.
 Dixie Walker was exhibiting a, mark on his wrist yesterday where he was hit by a pitched ball last season while pitching for Binghamton in the New York State League. Binghamton was

Diaz, In Putting The Screws On His Subjects, Uconsciously Put The Screws On Himself

Diaz, to-day, is an outcast from Mexico. He killed the the goose that laid the golden egg. In his mad rush for pelf and power he put the screws on his subjects too often. He was laid low by his own iron hand by his own auriferous, itching palm. And take it from me boys, he'll never "come back. They never do.
 In way, the Diaz predicament is not unlike the clothing situation in this town. The ground floor boys waxed fat and sat snug for years and years scooping in their enormous profits, until little me" came along. My upstairs rent and small expenses sent them sprawling
