Now that the Stana league has 41os
field to Itself, there should be no
more grunibling among the fans. a.
least this season. for higher cla0
ball.
The CLUBS in the league are giving
better ball than ever before. Whether
this is due to the advent of the United
States league ia problem. There was
some reason, however. and whatever
that may have been, the dissattsS1c0
fan should now call in his hammer
and help the cause of baseball with
his attendance.
1t is likely that Richmond will
have good baseball next year. IT
not in the State league. some other
higher class affair.
Those who have held baseball to-
getner here for so many years, may
find before the opening Of another
season. that they will have TO put this

AVIATOR, INFLIGHT,
CIRCLES MONUMENT.
Charles Walsh Leaves College Park
and Scars Over City in
Curtiss Machine.

Charles Walsh, a professional aviator
at College Park, Nd, demonstrating q
double-control Curtiss machine to the
army hiers, made a spectacular flight
over Washington yesterday afternoon at
AIS o'clock.
Walsh. after a few preliminary spins
over the field at the Army Aviation
School, found atmospherical conditions
almost perfect for good flying, and de-
cided to go over the city.
His flight was perfect, and for several
minutes hundreds OF persons who watch
ed him from the street, were thrilled by
his spectacular stunts. He made several
beautiful spiral glides, cut four figure
eights, and circled about the Monument
like a big bird. When he came over the
Capitol building he was sailing owed the
1000 feet high. After getting over the
White Lot and Monument grounds he
volplaned TO within 100 feet Of the earth
and then few about the Monument.
His flight was big surprise, as he
did not announce his intentions of max
ing such a trip. Even the army Off
GERS at the school did not know he had
gone over the city until he returned and
told them he had made the trip.
Walsh also qualified for a pilots L.
cense, the examination being conducted
by Capt. Charles DeForest Chandler.
capt Chandler is member Of the ex-
amining board of the Aero Club of
America and is empowered with the
right to conduct such examinations
He made the flight over the city in
Capt Paul Beck's machine, and also
passed his pilots license test in II. To
get his license Walsh cut fve figure
eights, banked lis machine In the air
at 40 degree angle, and volplaned TO
the earth from an altitude OF 1000 feet
The machine he IS demonstrating to
the government also has passed nine Of
ten requirements called for by the Sig
nal Corps. The last test demands that
the new machine climb 1000 feet IN ten
minutes, carrying $50 pounds of weight.
This test will be made within the next
Few days. and IL passed the machine
