 FLIGHT OVER
 SEA IS NEAR
Launching of Gigantic Air Craft at HammOndspOrt, New York,
 AWakenS Interest in the Com
 ing nS-AtIantiC Flight.

HAMMONDPORT, N. r.. July H. (SpeciaD Glenn Curtiss. the builder of the ocean aero America with which Lieutenant Porte will attempt to fly across the Atlantic before the end of July is following closely the tryouts the big whale-like ship of the air is receiving MT. Curiss in his speedy motor craft is seen in the photo fol- lowing the America around Lake Ken. ka. So rapidly is the craft skimming through the water that one of the mechanicians of the Curtiss factory here is seen holding down the stern of Che vessel for fear that she will leave the water entirely
 Lieutenant Porte's confidence in his ability to make the transatlantic flight without mishap is apparently as buoyant as ever But aviators gener- ally are frank to admit that the ad- venture would be too risky for them. Andre Beaumont of the French navy, ular of the long-distance flights SO .ular of the long1distance flights SO far made. having won a S5O,OO0 prize offered by the London Mail for the first circuit Of the British Isles, has this to say:
 "Lieutenant Porto's attempt marks Ian epoch in the progress of aviation. although 1t will prove exceedingly risky Actual experience, however. has shown the possibility of the con struction of a machine capable of crossing the Atlantic
 "The route by way of the Azores is well chosen. It means favorable winds. which will admit a rate of 150 kilometers per hour. thus making it probable that the first stage will be covered in seventeen hours. I think a minimum of two pilots is indispen- sable, since it will reduce by hali the strain of holding the levers true.
 As to motors, the great mistake hitherto has been the attempts to force the pace, no doubt because of fears of being outdietanced. The large prizes offered have been re- sponsible for this. For Porte four motors will be necessary instead of 1 two, because if one fails the other will be equally liable to. A Curtiss stabiliger would immensely simplify the problems of the journey and would prove well worth the extra thirty five kilos of weight
 The trial is in good hands and save for unforeseen developments lshould succeed"

CUBS PLAY DOUGLAS
 TODAY AT WARREN
 PARK GRAYS AWAY
Warren District Cubs Will Meet a Picked Team From the
 Shelter City at 2 O'clock To- day; Grays Go to PearCe.

This afternoon at o'clock the War ren District Cubs will meet a picked team from Douglas and the junior players of the district claim that it will be some ball game.
 The Cubs have met and vanqushed practically every team in the district outside of the Grays and have signi- fled their intention of taking on the Grays at an early date The district is really filled with excellent material among the younger players and in the Cubs the best of that material is on hand
 While the Cubs are playing on the local field the Grays will go to Pearce and take on the best that town has to offer in the way of baseball play CTS. Next Sunday the Tucson aggre- gation will return to the district and a week after that Bisbee will go to Tucson Thus it can be seen that quite a good line of baseball is for casted for the local fans and players.

teated Francis Quimet for example, had even entered the tournament He won simply because he was an un- known and out for a little golnng hol- iday and was therefore playing his normal game It was quite good golf. 70
 The fact that Jack Johnson had reached the age of thirty-eght years and ffty-eight days when he risked his title against Frank Moran in Paris last Saturday has led to some interes- ting discussion regarding the ages at which previous heavyweight cham pions lost their ring laurels John L. Sullivan was thirty-four years old when defeated by James J. Corbett at New Orleans in 1892. He held the ti- tie for ten years, but Corbett was less fortunate. for he retained the cham pionship but five years, being thirty one years old when Bob Fitzsimmons won at Carson City in 1891
 Fitzsimmons' tenure of champion. ship was even less for at the age of thirty-seven he was knocked out by Jim Jeffries at Coney Island in 1899. after holding the title for two years and three months Jeffries. who met defeat at the hands of Johnson at Reno July 4. 1910, was thirty-five years old when the negro wrested the ring honors from him. He held the championship for eleven years.

JOHNSON GAN NO I AT TAIN
 PAST RECORD
 THIS SEASON
Speed Artist, Walter Johnson of
 the Washington Americans,
 Has Had a Poor Start and Past Records to Be Untouched
Baseball Writer With Dope Sheet
 Before Him, Shows How It would Be Impossible for Pit
 cher to Best His Own Records.

It will be impossible for Walter Johnson to amass as high a percen- tage of victories this season as he did last but indications point to the Chal- mers car winner of 1913 equaling one of his records of that campaign namely pitching more complete games than any other major league artinerist. Last year Sir Walter went the route lin 29 controversies. Tyler, the Braves southpaw, running him a close race for the honor of being a sticker by finishing 28 of the games in which he had been his managers pioneer choice
 In the first ten weeks of the 1914 campaign Johnson twirled 14 complete contests, no other major league pitcher during as we'll Dauss of the Tigers and Caldwell of the Yankees each | have lasted from start to finish II times, while these men-Christy Math- ewson of the Giants, Larry Cheney of the Cubs and Grover Alexander of the | Phillies-have rid their systems of | 10 complete contests.
 Ray Caldwell of the Yankees has
 the unique record of having finished every game he has started-and his | starts have numbered H. Joe Wood | of the Red SoX last through both | games in which Manager Bill Carri-
 gan selected him to officiate and ] Kahler of the Maps, LuQue of the 1 Braves and Kantlesner of the Pirates
 went from start to finish in the lone | contests in which they were picked ] by their leaders to subdue the enemy.
 Kahler and Luque lost their combats and were sent to minor league teams, | Kanuehner won his games. but a lame
 arm since has kept him idle.
 Johnson has finishing" average of 933-that is his percentage of games Clark Grifnth's original pitch ling nominee. The Senator would have
 a perfect record, like Caldwell, had his
 commander not pulled him off the slab in the game against Detroit, on May 25 after the Senators had piled up an eight-run lead in seven innings All told there are 29 major leagues ! (17 of them Johnsonites. 12 of them , ,Tenerites) who have finishing" av- erages of .600 or better The high

of Porte trip may be gleamed from the fact that only one insurance agency in the world-Lloyds of Lon don-is willing to insure Porte's fife. And Lloyds asks a premium of $5O- GOO On a $1OO0O0 policy to run during the two days Porte expects to be in flight
 Here is what Porte himself has to soy concerning his plans:
 CT will start from St. Johns. New to1ndland about the middle of July. By first point of call will be the Azores and my second probably Viga. Spain. From that point I hope to wing by way far over to the Bay of Biscay across the beginning of the English channel and land at Ply. mouth The mileage to the Azores is 1,19S from the western islands. The distance to Vigo is 963 miles From there to the nal destination the miles are 52S.
 Tt is planned to reach the Azores twenty hours after making the water. This means travelling at the average hourly rate of sixty miles. It will take sixteen hours more to get Go Vigo and about nine hours more from that place. If total of ten hours were used in the stops. the elapsed time in the trip would take fifty-hye hours, being within the time set down by the terms of the Daily Mail prize offer which ] am trying to win"

Athletics at the Panama-Pacifc In- ternational Exposition will be theI greatest ever held in the history of the world The program which isl being arranged by the exposition of- icials is the most gigantic ever att tempted by an Exposition, country, association or group. The total num- Der of entries which will be received and the number of athletes who win compete will exceed by far the num- Der of entries which have been re. ceiYed for any International meeting. not even excepting the famous Olym- piads. The exposition officials pre- dict that the number of entries re, celyed will be between eight and ten l thousand
 At the convention of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, held in New York City during Novem- Der 1913. it was unanimously voted to award aid of it's national champion ships to the Panama-Pacidc Interna- tional Exposition. These champion ships are the blue ribbon events of the athletic world.
 The International Olmpic Commit tee, which controls all modern Olym- piads, recognizes just what the Pana- |ma-Pacihc International Exposition will do for sport through out the world and has conferred upon the Ex- position the right to hold the modern l IPentathion, which is the first time that it has been awarded outside of the Olympic games.
 For the first time America is to have the Decathlon one of the clas- | sic events that were the features of tthe Grecian and Swedish Olympic Games.
 The famous Marathon Race, which l originated in Greece centuries ago, will be re-run, with the greatest long distance men in the world as compeut- lors.
 The exposition will bring together for the second time in the history of the United States, the strong men of the world, who will compete in the dumb-beH and welght-lifting con tests
 Every city O fthe United States that maintains playground activities, will be extended an invitation to send a team to demonstrate the type of work being done for the boys of American Representation is also expected from every public school Athletic League in the United States
 It is planned to devote a week to Irish Sports and pastimes consisting of football, dancing. burling and ath- letics. Swedish gymnastics and ath- letics will probably be given a week, and it is expected that Germany will send to the Exposition a team to give an exhibition of the German type of gymnastic work Arrangements are now being made to have the German ! Turner's exploit their type of mass work and exhibition drills.
 Special endeavors are now being made through the Secretary of War to
 have assigned to San Francisco for
 competition during Army week de- tachments from each and every Fort

 During navy week it is planned to
 arrange international contests be-
 tween the crews of foreign navies and
 our own. Just what the final program
 will consist of will depend upon the
