The final act of the tragedy had
taken place barely fifteen hundred
feet above the earth; and In the en-
suing struggle with herself Patria had
neglected to tilt the plane so as to lift
them to a higher and safer level. Now.

tonishingly like the voice of an angry
dog barked sharply at them from be-
low, four times in swift succession,
and a second later four shells Of
shrapnel sprayed out a trif1e to the
right of the biplane and well above it.
An anti-aircraft gun, a two-pounder
pom-pom mounted in an armored mo-
torcar, was getting their range. Its
next belt of shells would explode in
much more uncomfortable proximity to
them-and did. But by this time Pa
tria was aiming for the zenith at the
sharpest angle compatible with safety.

shells pursued them, hen gave up the
task as hopeless, and diverted their
attention to the other American air.

a victor in it's encounter, and was
winging borderwards about half a mile
astern of Patria's plane.
But in this instance, as well, the
pom-pom failed to accomplish more
than to brighten it's target to a level
beyond its range.
AS they swept back across the boun-
dairy line the progress of the battle
raging below was disclosed to them in
painful detail.
The initial reverses dealt out to the
defenders were being driven home by
the Japanese and Mexicans in the
most m%ethodical and b~usinesslike FASH
ion. Thousands of troops had been
thrown across the border, occupying
the first-line trenches abandoned by
Patria'S order, and busily intrenching
themselves still further close in under
the mainline trenches, undismayed by
the whitening rifle and machine-gun
fire that was sleeted upon them from
the latter.
Elsewhere they were taking adj
vantage of everything left open to

flags flew above it. Armored motor
cars were parked before it. A field
telephone was being wired to the CEN
trail switchboard established in one of
It's rooms. Men in uniform swarmed
in and around it like ants.
Beyond the ridge that stood between
1t and the border, a field battery was
Numbering to shell the mainline
trenches.
AS Patria descended to the aviation
field, stretcher bearers were moving
along one side of that cleared space
! in apparently interminable procession,
to each pair it's burden of mangled and
tormented humanity. rs
With a sharp pang of fear for Don
aid, Patria ran to the field headquar-
tiers and had herself put into communi-
cation with the mainline trenches.
1t seemed that she was never to sue
coed in getting Donald to the tele-
phone. Not till his accents greeted her
was she able to draw a free breath.

RACING
MAN GONE
BY II. G. HAMILTON.
(United Press stafs Corre.poudeuto


NEW YORK. June 21.--When Phil
Dwyer died in this city two weeks ago
one of the best-known men IN the rae
ing game was gone. known mainly as
president of the Brooklyn Jockey club
and the Queens County Jockey club. he
was known to racing men the world
over as a subtle power In the race
game years before horse racing became
tainted with bad betting and crooked
races.
With Michael F. Dwyer, a brother
Phillip Dwyer organized the Brooklyn
Jockey club and built the old Grave
send track. where the Brooklyn handi-
cap and many other noted eastern clas-
sizes were run. When 1t finally went
out of existence Phil Dwyer took over
the Acqueduct track. then a mile cir
cult. transformed it into a mile and
quarter course. and transferred the
Brooklyn handicap and other classics
which had made the Gravesend track
famous.
In the Washington market for years
the two Dwyers conducted a butcher
business. relinquishing 1t finally to be-
come the owners of Radamanthus, a
horse of more than usual ability The
butcher business soon was showed COM
pletely into the background and there
was laid a foundation of shrewd horse
judgment, business judgment and hon
est dealing that has made their name
a synonym for racing in the east.
When the Gravesend track was estab-
lished the brotherly partnership that
had existed from the time the WASH
ington market stall was abandoned was
dissolved. Michael made a disastrous

sent Ben Brush to victory in the La

lowing year.

repute under the ownership of Phil
Dwyer This horse won the withers
stakes at the Belmont track and later
captured the Brooklyn handicap.

WHY SHOULD
JOHN NOT De
PUT OUT"
By n. G. HAMILTON

Omitted Press staE Correspondent
NEW YORK, June s5.--When John X.
Tener, president of the National league
set John McGraw back $500 and
bunch OF days for taking a punch at
Bill Byron he started something It
probably will take him a long time 10
finish. McGraw contrary to his usual
procedure. calmly sat down and thought
it over when he found out wnar mad
happened to him. and then he declared
war without quarter on the National
leagues president.
IF John K. Tener had insulted me as
Byron did I would have hit him Just as
quickly as I did his umpire" McGraw
declared, with little respect for the fact
that step-ladders would have to be call
ed into use If John hoped to plant one
in the same spot where he beaned
Bryon.
McGraw made the broad cnarge tna>
National league affairs are run from
Philadelphia. that Tener was handpick-
ed to preside over the league by the
Philadelphia magnates. and that Tener
never does anything without first con-
sulting his owners in Philadelphia
McGraw undoubtedly went little too
far in his charges. Tener has a mind
and uses it with little regard for the
man who suffers.
But when the Giant leader stepped
along a little bit and pointed out tnar
under the leadership of Tener the Ma
tionaI league has consistently played
second fiddle TO the American in every
thing but the worlds championship the
Braves won IN 1914 he dug into the
facts. He charged that Tener is not
competent to run a major league, and
cited the record to prove it.
McGraw was justified in putting up n
howl at the enormous size OF the fine
Tener imposed, but McGraw probably
forgot that Garry Hermann. owner Of
the Cincinnati club. was in Philadel-
pI1ia with Tener when the decision was
made and may have talked to Tener
about the incident which led up to all
the noise. Hermann sympathized
strongly with McGraw at the time, de-
claring he would have done the same
thing in McGraw's place. If Tener
heard this and then determined to slap
the fine anyway. there must have
been some overwhelming evidence.

too warm and the baseman couldn I
hold it. When the latter had recovered
it, Flaherty was resting on first.
AIokate of the restless arm made a
machine gun peg to second in the
eighth round and stopped a move that
might have proven fatal. Jennings of
the Giants hit a low single over third
base too high for Mol and too short
for Mokate. and it looked like a two or
three sacker because Of the distance
that must be covered by the latter. who
was playing well over toward center.
The runner was within twenty feet of
second when Mokate got the ball, but
he might as we'll nave been a block
away. for when that restless arm went
back, then shot forward in a disappear
ing gun motion, it started a pill revolv-
ing that it seemed impossible to way
lay. But the aim was perfect the base
man was dependable. and the runner
was out. The writer's sympathy lies in
the palm Of Shannon's hand Another
surprise was the appearance of Eddie
DeLave on first base. The older fans
will remember DeLave as having play
ed great ball with the old Hubbards in
the nineties. and we must add that as a
crack ball played. he has not changed a
bit. It was a splendid game through
out and was a great introduction for

LOWELL, IND. June 25.-In one of
the best played and closest score ball
games that has been played here for
some time the Lowell team won from
the fast team from Indiana Harbor

ment was high throughout the game as
both teams had several chances and
runs were kept from scoring by spec
tacular plays by members of both
teams. To start the ninth inning the
score was a tie at 2 to 2. Belshaw first

sion against a cipher for the Murleys.
But the latter drove in three for them

fans began to howl and the players soon
conceived the idea that they now had

be remembered that in our last en-
counter with the Murleys Peter the

visitors score one more run. and Ham

the contest to a five and five tie where

Joe Green's crack colored team. the Chi
cago Giants and added to their 1000 per
cent record, their ninth consecutive
win.
The strength of the Africans need not
receive comment, for every b. b. fan
in the middlewest is a familiar with the
speed of this semi-pro aggregation as
he is with his home team. The Ham
mond boys knew before the show open
ed that they were in fast company and
gauged themselves accordingly. But
it was the same old stuff. Each cog in
the mechanism was well oiled, and
when the session was over they had
trimmed the visitors to the tune of 3
and 2.
Pettus was the slugger for the Giants
He swatted out clean two-bagger
close to the right field foul line in the
first offensive. that brought home the
first run of the game. Mokate evened
the score in the second. Pete Hennine

run in the seventh round through their
