AVIATORS AT GALESBURG
Rene Simon Only One to Make Sue.
CesSful Trial.

Galesburg, ILL.,, June 1.-THE avi-
alton meet opened here yesterday
and will continue through Thursday.
Aeronauts participating are Rene
Simon, Rene Barrier and Captain
John Frisbie.
Owing TO a smart breeze Frisbie
declined to make an attempt to fly,
but both Simon and Barrier made
flights. Simon circled the grounds
in a Bleriot machine for distance
of ten miles. rose to a height of
$500 feet and was in the air 10 to
II minutes.
Barrier was not so fortunate, for
after he had been up a few minutes
the propeller of his machine became
manageable, the machine dipped
dangerously and it was only by des-
perate turn that he landed in a corn
field safely.

Quincy Journal: According to an
exchange Dick Kinsella blames the
falling off in attendance at Decatur
TO the many automobiles in that city
The fans instead of going 10 the
games go JOY riding and let this
sport replace that OF baseball. If
Dick had a team fighting for first
place instead of hogging the whole
thing, he would find a better crowd
out at the games. 1t is the uncer-
tainty of baseball that fascinates
When the fan knows that his team
is going to lose six out of every
eight games played, he loses inter
est and when he knows that his team
is not going TO lose more than one
out of four. he gets tired of the
monotony of the thing, the one-sided
scores and the uneven battle. There
is TO sport in seeing d big fellow
maui the daylights out of a little
fellow. The American fan wants to
see an even match with the chances
the same for each team, even if he
likes TO see his team win. The per-
centage column either kills or boosts
the attendance and when the Com
modores get down on an even foot
ing with the rest of the clubs, the
attendance will pick up. Every fol
lower of the game knows that a weak
team never draws. while the bitter
