This sport" with the same spirit that
mas made them famous on the baseball

own American colleges.
A young American aviator has Just
told of trip over the German lines
and back behind into German territory.
The formation in which the American
airnen flew consisted of II big bomb
ing machines. each of which carried
i,G0O pounds of high explosives, three
machine guns and three men. This
was the boys story:
after l had tried the guns on my
machine, checked the bombs, made
sure everything was ship-shape, and
put a couple of little bombs into a
small bag beside me, I started my en-
CINE. The big motors growled away
waiting for the starting flash. Soon
the signal came and we were off.

For twenty minutes we climbed, IN
Ill the earth was just black blot An
other twenty-five minutes and we were
over the trenches, with the searchers
cropping about in the mists below us.
The big guns crashed away cont.nu-
ously. and we could see the explosions
from where we scared high above
them. No sooner had we crossed the
lines than the Germans started firing
ut us with their anti-aircraft guns.
Once German searchlight got right
on us with its beam of light. We fired

Far below us we could see the
lights of locomotive. Finally we
reached our objective. According to
plan, we throttled our motors and
our target. 1t seemed curiously quiet.
Then suddenly the earth seemed to
open below us. Seventeen SearchlightS
were turned on us by the Germans,
and their shafts of light swept all
about us. The anti-aircraft guns
made a wall ahead of us. The high
explosive shells burst on every side
of us, and the green-fire balls swayed
and spiraled as they tried to set us on

COCHRAN RUNS 800
TO MORNINGSIDE'S 8
Young Billiard Expert Makes
Veteran Look Like Novice
in Match at Days.

II any balkline player OF prominence
has ever been defeated by 400 points to
3 1t Is not recorded in the history Of the
game. That is what befell Ora Morn
ingstar at Days last night during his
1890 points match with Welker Cochran,
the young Western expert. Welker
rolled up his allotted ace buttons in Ave
Innings, for an average OF 60, and went
out with a notable cluster of 2S6 points,
an unfinished run.
Morningstar Is a veteran n once
held the IS: q championship. He ia
known as one OF the most skllful balk
players in the world, and yet in five
trials at the table he made 3 points while
his youthful opponent was scoring 500.
Cochran also won the afternoon game
as he pleased, Morningstar getting only
81 points while the %youngster rolled up
300.
As the total score now Is 5000 for
Cochran TO 1856 by Morningstar. 1t can
be seen that in the final games this af-
ternoon and night il simply will be a
question of how SCOT Cochran collects
the final 600 points.
In averaging 60 in 500 points the
y%oungster gave a strong example OF the
consistency which marks his play. The
run OF 2S6 points in the night game fur
nished one OF the most brilliant exhibit
tons of bslkline skill yet shown by the
youthful challenger Of Willie Hoppe.
In his fifth inning Cochran got the
balls in a cluster at the head OF the
table and deity nursed them there for
more than a hundred before they scat
tered.
Then the young expert began driving
for position, and after a few attempts
got the balls on sociable terms again at
the head Of the table. This time he
nursed them delicately on the line and
clicked off the points with a precision
and celebrity that would have one honor
TO the champion.
o times during the run the ivories
spread out. but on each occasion his
driving for position brought them back
to the desired restricted area and the
counting was resumed.
When he registered his 2s6th point
the balls were under a hat and he
could AVE continued indefinitely. The
scores:
