HUGE WHALE CAST Up
ON OCEAN CITY SHOAL
After Hours of Struggling 1t
Becomes Prize of the
Life Savers.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., October "a
sixty-foot whale, weighing seven or eight
tons, churned the sea into a foam off 4th
street, Ocean City. yesterday morning as
Ii struggled to release itself from the
shoals into which it had been carried by
rollers at high tide.
Water went up to forty feet in spray as
the whale whipped the sea with sweeps
of It's powerful tail. Three hours. while
the tide was falling, hundreds anxiously
watched the monsters dying struggles.
Surfmen from the Ocean City govern
ment station showed their craft into the
water and cautiously ventured to close
quarters. frequently being driven away
as the whale sent up geysers of spray
rendered. The government crew roped
the leviathan and anchored its carcass to
the sands to prevent the high tide from
wrestling their prize away.
Will Be Sold to Syndicate.
Low tide at noon enabled the throngs
to crowd about the whale. photograph
and examine closely the giant of the
ocean. 1t was pronounced to be a bow
head sperm whale. whose value for oil
runs into the hundreds of dollars. But II
is to be sold by the life savers, who claim
IL as their property through discovery and
capture, to a syndicate which plans to
haul it away and put IL on exhibition In
one of the metropolitan cities.
1t is smaller stranger from the arctic
seas than the one which was cast up dead
on shore some eighteen years ago. not far
from the point where the present victim
lies.

NEW YORK, October 9.-An attempt
to stop flying in Nassau county yester-
day broke up the peace of the Sabbath
as no flying meet has ever done. A free
fight to prevent the arrest of Miss Ma
tide Moisant. pursuit and escape by au-
tomobile, with speed laws forgotten, and
the excitation of the whole countryside
were perhaps the principal features of
what looked like a conspiracy to make
the law ridiculous.
From some corner of his mind Sheriff
De Mott dug up the notion that Justice
Garretson's order vacating the injunc-
tion against interfering with Tim Wood

stituted in itself an injunction against

sent twenty-five deputies to the Nassau
boulevard aerodrome to enforce his in
depreciation of the law, stationing one
before every third hangar and at every
entrance gate.
Warned Not to Fly.
Some 500 persons, attracted by the
prospect of seeing Earle L. Ovington,
the aerial mail carrier, start on his pos
tai flight to the Pacific coast, strolled
on to the grounds in the course of the
afternoon. No attempt to charge ad-
mission was made. The deputy sheriffs
at the gates had nothing to do, therefore,
but those before the hangers warned
the aviators that any attempt to fly
would lead to arrest
Ovington protested that as licensed
mail carrier he was under the protection
OF the federal government and could fly
when and where he pleased, So long a,
no charge to see him was made. De
Motifs men told him the federal govern
ment didn't pay their wages; that they
had their orders and that if he flew h.
would be "pinched." The bluff worked
too; at least until ) o'clock.

Miss Moisant outdistanced them in the

The sheriffs' car was the better of the

woman out of her car was made, where

manager, and Rene POrsch, her chaus-
feur. stood the deputy sheriffs off, and
Rene had his knob" tapped.
Decides to Surrender.
In the course of the battle Yves de
Vilers, accompanied by Mile. Dutrieu
drove up in his racer Miss Moisant
watched her opportunity, jumped across
into the other car beside her sister avia-
trice and again the pursuit was on.
MIR de villers made a dash for the
highway. His ear, being fast. soon left
the deputy sheriffs far behind, and II
seemed as il the incident was about to

she would do well to surrender. since she

notwithstanding the persistent renorts
that have been circulated to the contrary
the general outlook for athletics at the
University of. Virginia is encoura aing,
and, barring the unforeseen, the institu-
ton will be represented by capable teams
in all departments.
Foot ball, which generally is looked
upon as paramount among college pas
times, is under way, and each afternoon
squad of over half hundred candi-
dates for the varsity eleven are busily
engaged on Lambeth Field Prospects
for a representative eleven are particu-
larly bright, especially in view of the re-
markable victory over William and Mary,
heretofore formidable opponent, in the
second game of the season. The visitors
were vanquished, outplayed at every an
gle, with final score of 81 to q, prob
ably a record for southern collegiate foot
ball. The feat is all the more remarka BILE
III view OF the fact that seventy points
were scored during the opening half,
after which practically the entire varsity
squad was eliminated fl ON the proceed
ings in order to give way to the scrubs.
he men showed no i'll effects of their
play, and at the sound OF the whistle
calling for a resumption of play in the
second half a number of the varsity play
ers were back on the scene ready to look
on from the side lines through the re-
naming part of the battle.
William and Mary may not be par
ucularly strong contender, but at the
same time a team that is able to total
seventy points in twenty minutes of &C
tual play, particularly at so early a date,
must necessarily be far above the ordi-
nary caliber.
The real test will come next Saturday
when Swarthmore will be the opponent.
Should Coach Yancey's men be returned
victorious in this contest they need have
little TO fear for the remainder of the
season. Georgetown, undoubtedly, has an
unusual team this year, admittedly
combination that will outweigh Virginia
by anywhere from fifteen to twenty five
pounds to the man. Many followers of
foot ball picture Virginia beaten before
the start Circumstances of a similar
nature have been in evidence on several
occasions in the past ten years, during
which time the Washington boys have
scored but single victory. Why then,
1t Is asked. should this disgruntled lot of
dopesters give vent to their feelings now?
1t Is to wait.

while on the face of the face
