out. After three games in New York,
Reading, Pa, was visited, where a
trio OF contests were staged. The num-
ber of spectators at the games became
smaller in the Pennsylvania town and
when the Reading and Washington
clubs came to this city they received no
attention whatever from the fans.
At the first game at Union League
Park. exactly ffty-one spectators greet
ed the outlaws. Washington won its
game that day. The next day Reading
and Washington lined up again. barely
seventy-ive paid admissions having
been reported by Secretary Yetzee. On
the following day the teams did not meet
at all. trouble having arisen between
owners and players over money mat
ters. The latter announced that they
would play no ball until back salary
and expense money be paid them. Prom
make amends, but the money was not
forthcoming at the agreed time, and one
by one the players struggled out OF
town.
Took Over Stock.
About a week ago Mr.. Mockabee took
over the controlling stock in the local
team, and with a practically new team
endeavored to pursue the schedule orig
lnally planned for the Bandits. He out
one game has been played. that being
between Cincinnati and the Bandits on
Sunday at the northeast park.
The break has been expected for some

a hard one. and several of the pro-
| moters who expected to make a mint OF
money right from the start are ready
| to throw up their hands. The league
| is in a bad way in the East, its only
| strength being in Richmond. but the

PRUGER MAY MANAGE SAVOY
Has Alluring Offer to Return to
Strand Hotel.
by Gable 20 The Tribune. ]

Loudon, Sept. 2S.-Rumors have been
extremely busy concerning the future
management Of the Savoy Hotel. 1t is
stated that Henry Pruger who is well
known in New York, has been asked to
go back TO the establishment. Mr..
Pruger. while not denying that he may
go back, says nothing has yet been
done. Mr.. Pruger was its guild
iEg genius, some years ago, before he
went 10 New York to open the Cafe de
rOpera and failed to instill into his
wealthy American clientele his rigor-
Gus devotion to evening dress.
Since returning to England Mr.. Pru-
ger has managed with marked success
the Royal Automobile Club. in Pail
Mall, which is declared to he the
largest establishment OF it's Kind in
the world, with a membership of seven
thousand. It's appointments include an
immense swimming bath. Turkish
baths and a private theatre.
Recently Mr.. Pruger's advocacy re-
suited in the acquisition of adjoining
buildings, where 100 rooms additional
are being erected a few months ago
Mr.. Pruger declined an offer of the
management OF the Hotel Cecil. but he
may succumb to the alluring offer and
return to the Savoy. where he will find
full scope for the exercise of his man
agerial genius.

BRITISH AVIAT0RS PLAN
WORLDS LONGEST FLIGHT
London to India Via Rhine,
Danube, Black Sea, Euphrates,
Tigris and Persian Gulf.

London, Sept. 2S.-From London to
India is the latest project In European
aviation, and substantial monetary
support therefor Is already forthcOm-
ing. both here and In India, whore
wealthy princes and potcntates. includ-
ing the Mahara abs OF Jodhpur and
Bikanir have offered prizes Of 5000
and 1000 rupees, respectively and the
Begun of Bhopal 1000 rupees.
The Royal Geographical Society has
interested itself in the project and has
laid out a route for the aviators. The
route planned Is as follows:
London TO Calais TO Brussels 10 CO.
logne. then following the Rhine To
Frankfort, where n diversion to Rats
bon is TO be made; thence following the
north bank Of the Danube 10 Belgrade
and along the south bank Of the Dan
ube to Rustchuk. deviatlng from the
river at that point in a southeasteriy
direction to Varna. on the Black Sea
following the coast southwark TO CON
stantinople, crossing the Bosporus:
from that point starting diagonally
across Asia Minor to Adana VIA
Konieh: thence within sight Of the
ncrtheasternmost part OF the Mediter-
ranean to Alexandretta, thence due
east for more than a hundred miles to
the Euphrates, following it's course for
five hundred miles. then deviating east
TO Bagdad. on the Tigris, then along
the Tigris to Bassorah, near the Per-
sian Gulf.
The aircraft TO be used will be fitted
with water planes, and II Is probable
that the aviators ~ there are any sur
living TO reach Persia will proceed by
water through the Persian Gulf and
along the Arabian seacoast TO Kurra-
chez, India.
The total estimated distance Is 4'sOo
miles, and thus, assuming a progress
of 400 miles day. the trip should be
completed in twelve days.
