Various reasons have been advanced
to account for the accidents in which
St. Croix Johnstone and William r.
Badger. aViators. met death yester-
day.
Horace Wild. aviation expert and
field captain of the aviation commit
tee. give out the following statement:
Badger was killed as the result of
trying to yolplane without shutting
down his motor. Volplaning is turning
the planes so that the machine de-
scends. In performing the engine
should he shut down to one half or
even less.
Badger tried To volplane while his
engines We're running at full speed.
The force of gravity draws the ma
chine down with greater force when
in position for descending and the pro-
pellers tend to throw the rear part of
the aeroplane upward.
when within about 80 feet of the
ground Badger attempted to right the
machine The enormous air pressure
on the planes was so strong. however,
that the planes broke and twisted
under 1t. He could not save himself
and was dashed TO his death. The add
ed force of the churning propellers
hurdle1 the machine TO the ground
with greater speed than If it had
merely dropped
The fate of Johnstone and his ma
chine vas due to excessive air pres
sure in the gas tank. Pressure is need
ed within the tank to insure flow OF
gasoline to the motors, but there was
too much in Johnstone's tank and this
caused II to explode"
"Commercialism" and Daredevil reck-
lessness' in aviation were scored by
Frank Mudd. chairman of the contest
committee of the International aviation
meet now being held here.
When this meet was planned" said
Mr. Mudd, everything was thoroughly
discussed by committee and others and
myself We're delegated to go to other
meets and get copies of their rules We
selected the best of the rules in other
contests of the kind and took every pre-
caution to make the flying safe for the
aviators.
after the accidents a committee made
an investigation and from what We can
learn they were caused by structural
weakness in the machines. The underly-
ing cause, however, was too much sport
and daredevil recklessness. There seems
to be too much commercialism and too
little science in aviation.
"Our rules provided that in the contests
over water the aviators should wear life
preservers. We provided life preservers,
but if the pilots refused TO wear them
we were not in a position to compel them
Not one of them wore a life preserver.
although We requested them to do so. The
committee naturally feels the situation
keenly, but we feel that the rules are in
no way responsible for the fatalities.

FIVE YOUNGSTERS
ARE LEADING SHOW
IN MAJOR LEAGUES
Gregg, Harmon, Alexander,
Steele, and Chalmers Are
Now Top-Notchers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander. Of the PhiIlies, is the
most Sensational young pitcher who has
landed in tie big league in many a day,
Ihls time last year he was pitching for
syracuse, in the New York State
League. Today he is considered one of
the stars Of the National League.
Robert Harmon is another 1911 star,
He was a good man last year. but
lacked control, and was booked for the
minor leagues. When Chance heard
that BresnahGn was intending to send
Harmon to the minors he put in a claim
for the youngster. Chances bid made
Roger think twice, and he decided TO re-
tain Harmon. Bob is now one of the
star right-handers Of the game.
Hean Gregg, of Cleveland, is another
the far West. Jim Mcclure landed the
youngster for Cleveland. He Is consid-
cred the best left-hander uncovered In
years. American League rooters main
tain ne is better pitcher than Rucker,
of Brooklyn.
splendidly for Fred Clarke. This young.
ster is come back" He was tried
with the Boston Americans some years
ago, and turned back to the minor
leagues. Pittsburg picked him up in
the Eastern League, and he has been
doing good work ever since.
Chalmers, Of the Philhes, is another
twirling star of 1911. He shut out the
Cardinals the last time he pitched in st.
Louis. Chalmers and Alexander pitched
the Phillies into the first division of
the National League, and as for Rube
Marquard, he is worth the price. paid
for him and the long waiting for him
to show form.

BROWNS BUILDING
FOR FUTURE YEARS,
SAYS BOB HEDGES
St. Louis Magnate Wants No
More Old Men, But Young

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Aug. 3a-"I will
buy no old ball players" says Colonel
Hedges. owner Of the Browns. you
recall we had a team of veterans once,
back In 1908. and we gave the people
Of st. Louis some pretty good base
ball, but when that team blew 1t went
all to pieces at onnce. TIL eveterans all
declined at the same time. Hereafter,
we will build up our club with young
talent.
This policy may be rather slow and
results may not be obtained as quick
ly as IL we did otherwise, but once
we repair our weak spots we will be
well fortified for a number of years,
while if we depended upon old men
two seasons Of prosperity would be the
most We could expect with veterans.
Fred Lake and myself checked up
the American Association and the East
ern League lists searching for talent,
and outside OF the batteries, those
leagues are barren Of young players of
ability. There are q few good ones.
most OF whom were placed there by
major league clubs with strings at
tached.
Baseball fans in ST. Louis have been
very patient, and we appreciate that
fact. However. am convinced ffmly
that the policy pursued by Connie
Mack, Roger Bresnahan, John Nc
Graw and a few other able leaders is
the only wise one. We probably will
not be very high up in 1912, but the
year after that look out II our young
sters develop as We have every reason
to believe they will"

Wet Grounds Today May
Interfere With Post
Season Conclusions.
POSSIBILITY OF THREE
GAMES SATURDAY
Series to Be Closed to Enable
Champions to Meet Rich
mond Monday.

There is little prospect Of a game to-
day between Southland and Bs-kcrs.
The grounds are water soaked, and
there are pud6Ies all over the diamond.
Unless the sun shines with much bril-
lance during the day. of which the
prospects are not good, a contest will
hardly be possible.
Should today's game be postponed,
the amateur commission will have a
job on its hands to complete the post
season schedule in time for the games
with Richmond next Monday.
According to the regular schedule
there is an open date on Saturday,
which was made such for the emer-
gency of a postponement. But the
commission did not consider three post
ponements, and it may be possible to
play a triple-header, on Saturday, or
two games Friday and two Saturday.
1t is possible the Bankers and Cornell
on Saturday at o'clock. Should one
team win both games, the series will
be declared closed, and a winner named.
but should each team win one game. it
will be necessary to play the games in
which Southland figure.
The commission has not yet declared
no game for today, and IL there is a
possible chance. the contest will be
played. The Bankers will pitch either
shags Rawlings or Shock Boeteler, with
chances favoring the latter. Boeteler
easily defeated Southland last Satur-
day under approximately the same
conditions that will govern today's con-
test, wet ball, wet grounds, and dark
day. Boeteler has had little work late
ly and should be in form.
Litchfield will try his luck again
against the Bankers and should his
teammates support him, there is likely
to be a good battle.
If you want to find out what the base
ball men think of the present weather,
sidle up to one of the members of the
amateur commission, and say some
thing. The commission is up against
1t on account of the weather, and its
members are not in a happy mood.
