WEATHER DELAYS
SEARCH FOR MISSING
ARMY AVIATORS
Various RumOrs Regarding
Finding of Bodies Are
Current

Calexieo, Cal, Jan. l9-Even the
elements seem to be arrayed against
Lieutenant Colonel Bishop and Leuten-
ant Robertson, army aviators missing
since January TO- The downpour of
rain for the past "a hours has been the
heaviest in several years, and instead
of showing signs of abatement indiea-
tions today are favorable to an in
creased precipitation.
As a result, the three army aero
planes are held at their base camp 2S
miles south of the border, the six avi-
ators impatiently hoping to be able to
fly late today to investigate report
that two bodies were seen toarwd La

the two bodies are under the wrecked
aeroplane in the Sonora desert.
From meager information received
from automobile parties in Mexico

leo and the Gulf of California, it is
believed not q wheel will be able to
turn today. The horses of Mexican
cavalry and American civilians are
making poor time in the mud and are
useless where climbing is unavoid
able.
The stories told by indians of seeing
the bodies of two men clad only in un
derwear lying near water hole in the
desert, while not accepted as true
strengthens the fears of many that the
aviators have been killed by bandits
who may have hoped to realize some
thing upon the aeroplane, valued al
$1,000.
Following reports from the region
in which the missing areoplane must
have landed reports continue to come
regarding bandits. Some Officers today
no longer attempted to conceal theil
fears that. the missing aviators may
have encountered outlaws and been
murdered.

ITHACA, Sept. 25.-Fourteen Cornell
football warriors reported for the first
meeting of the Red and White squad
at Schoellkopf Memorial training
quarters yesterday morning, and the
squad was increased to about twice
that number at the drill held in the
afternoon on Alumni Field.

field this year. stated the head coach
to-day, "will not be the first-class

because of the agreement made at
the Washington intercollegiate meet
ing this summer, Cornell has not
started practice until college opened,

First Choices Give Form FOL

Man disappointment

A slim attendance at Aqueduct yes
to-day saw very little racing that was
worth seeing. About the only feature
Of the afternoon was the showing made
by Regret, the great Broomstick Jersey
Lightning mare owned BY Harry Payne
whitney. It was true that the mare
had nothing to beat in lima Frank, her
only opponent, but it was the manner
in which she did it that impressed.
There were originally six named
to 20 in the Regret race. which was
the opening number on the programme
but four owners decided they had no
business paying starting money 70
send their horses to the post. And
the result of the race proved that they
were wise, for none of the horses
scratched appeared to have chance
against the grand mare. even though
she was giving away lot Of weight.
The two-horse race was a joke as
contest. for Frankie Robinson just got
Regret off on her toes, and she won as
she pleased. In fact, Robinson never
had to let her down to gallop the
seven furlongs in track-record time.
The mare took only fifth OF sec
ond off the mark Of 1:24 20, set by
Straight Forward last June, but she
could have gone much faster had she
been allowed to do SO. In her present
form she will be hard to beat In any
company and at any distance. ,
Form followers got another hard
rap, only two favor!tes. ono Of these
being Regret, winning. Regret was at
1 to 10, and the other. George Smith,
was only is to 20. Consequently, there
was a lot Of grumbling, for handicap
pe.s appear to be unable to get line
on the horses the way they low are
running.
The most severe blow came when
Wise Man, supposed, outside OF Re
gret, to be the best thing Of the after
noon, fell by the wayside. Wise Man
was at odds on, and he looked to many
TO be in. The best he could do was
third.
The jumping event, which was for
maidens, over about the two-mile
course, furnished one Of the best races
of the afternoon. Eleven went to the
post, and it was a spectacular contest
all the way, W. R. Goes Town Hall
getting up in the stretch to beat
Pigeonthorpe and Lady Edwina.
