that the real wonders were going on, in the vertical virage, spirals and wing slips. Spectacular as these seemed to be, each had it's use in the fighting game. The "vrille" is that dizzy head-first tumble, and the chief thing is not to do it but to undo it and come out of. it. It has its uses too in de ceiving the enemy into the belief that the aviator has been hit and is tumbling, then as the enemy is off guard. attacking him suddenly as the aviator comes out of his head long dive. One of the flyers made four vrilles as we watched.
 Tt is dangerous only when near the ground, said the escort. High in the air there is comparatively no danger, for there is plenty of time to set your levers so that you are sure to come out of the vrille."
 Others were doing the spiral, an other form of head first dive except that the car is always under control, whereas in the vrlle the control is lost until the aviator succeeds in emerging from his fall. Often the machines seemed to stop sud denly, turn over and then glide away in the opposite direction right side up.
 One of the best manoeuvers for escape from the dangerous fight is the vertical wing-slip, as it is the fastest means of losing altitude and getting below an unequal combat. When an acrobatic manoeuver misses or is badly done, it is a pancake" or a "barrel" These is as much lingo to the aviation field as there is to the baseball diamond.

TRAINING AVIATORS
 IS IMPORTANT WORK

up, and to come down at a definite point. Small numbered flags marked the landing point of each machine, and the descent must be made close up to this flag.
 The captain of Field No. was about to step into the Flying Dragon, one of the most curious machines of the fleet, for besides being a very fleet 15-meter car, it was famous for its dragon body, with flaming scales and tentacles and great red eyes. Here on this field the aviators entered single control machines, without an in- structor. and for the first time took their own risks.
 On Field it began to develop whether the aviator could qualify as a combat airman, or for bonn bardment or scout observation He was now in fast machine with a wing surface of IS meters and was beginning to make dips and hair air maneuvering. He was being ac- customed to all types of machines. There was a fleet of one of these strange types drawn across the plain. Their chief novelty was in having ball-bearings on all their mechanism, giving a hair-trigger response to the . slightest touch.
 "If you sneeze, you loop the loop was the way the officer explained the delcacy of this mechanism.
 Progress is rapid now that it is evident what the flyer can do. He enters very fast machine at No. 5 with 15-meter wings capable of mak ing 120 miles an hour. Some oi the men drop out of the training al this point, as it has become evident that they lack the deftness or ge faint at the height or the heat ot the motor. The rest go on to Fielc No. 6, where they begin pursuit work and some of the early stage. of acrobatic nose dives and slips.
 There is nothing freakish abou these acrobatics'', said the officer flor they are one of the most es sential parts of combat aviation. T( be a chase and pursuit pilot ont must be able to out-maneuver tn, enemy aviator; to make quick turn under fire and get above your ad versary or on his tail. One or thu other will be out-maneuvered, ant the fastest man wins the game. Int enemy is very skillful at acrobatic and he must be beaten at his owr game"

TY COBB FANS
 WITH THREE ON

Slim Love, the elongated south paw of the Yankees, experienced the greatest moment of his baseball ca reer at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon. It came in the third inn ing of the second game of the series between the Tigers and the Yankees.
 Detroit players were perched on every base at the time and the man at the plate was Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Three times the Georgia Peach swung at the mean curve that Slim threw him, and three times Tyrus hit nothing but the warm armos- phere.
 As Love trotted back. to the Yan- kee dugout the small crowd gave him fine ovation. Incidentally, Love struck out eight more of the Iii gers, and the Yankee trounced the vis- itors for the second time by the score of 5 to 3. In his last two games Slim" has famed twenty-one bat ters.
 The Yankees were aided to theil victory by the wildness of George Cunningham, who occupied the | for the Tigers. Huggins's crowd scored a run in the fifth, three more in the sixth and another in the eighth. In the sixth Cunningham brought about his downfall by walk ing both Fournier and Hyatt. afte1 making an error at first on Gilhoo ley's bunt.

BAKER IN FAVOR
 OF PLAYING THE
 WORLDS SERIES
Says Boys Over in France Will Be Interested In Watching Results, and Would Regret Omission of Great Classic.

Washington, Aug. 23 - A world s championship baseball series between the pennant winners of the National and American League races became a practical certainty yesterday when Secretary of War Newton D. Baker announced he was in favor of the series, and that it could be played with the full permission of the War Department, provided no new argu- ment comes up of which the Depart ment has no knowledge.
 While saying that the series should and could be played, Secretary Baker asserted he had not received a request from the National Baseball Commis- sion for the approval of the Depart ment to play such a series. He inti- mated that if such a request does come he will do all he can to see that the series is played.
 Secretary Baker said he had noted that local draft boards had granted temporary exemptions to certain players to tide them over the series and indicated that such action would meet no objection from the War De- partment.
 In view of the fact that only a small number of players will be af- fected it further is intimated that all players liable for call in the draft | will be granted exemption until the i completion of the series. Secretary Baker also placed stress on the fact | that the soldiers overseas are greatly | interested in the series and that the 1 scores of games would be promptly sent to the different units.
 Secretary Baker said:
 "As I understand it only two teams will be engaged in the worlds series I judge this would mean that only 2 very small number would be liable to | the draft at this time anyway. There is the fact, too, that our army abroad is very much interested in the results 1 of the series and the scores will be transmitted to them at once.
 If possible I will see that it k played out. I think it can be, anG very likely will be-"

 There Jones made a three, and thereafter the players worked even till the fifteenth when Chick Evens made a brilliant two. The Atlanta
 team regained one on the sixteenth ! and were all square on the seventeenth and eighteenth.
 On the nineteenth hole Edwards and | Jones were fours and Jones the
 youngest player in the match, won the | twentieth hole in four, the other! i taking five.

KAUFF YANKED: M'CARTHY'S HIT
 IN PINCH WINS

Chicago, Aug. 23-Pinch hitting for Benny Kauff, with men on second and third in the tenth inning of yes terday's game between the Giants and Cubs, Lew Mccarthy doubled to right centre, scoring both men and decided the game in favor of the Giants by to 2. The game was a pitching duel between Toney and Vaughn, the Giants mammoth hurler having the edge on his rival in the matter of hits allowed. though Vaughn did not receive as good support as did the mountaineer.-
 The Cubs reached Toney in the opening frame. Flack walked and Hollocher singled, both men moving up on Mann's sacrifice fly to Kauff. In the second inning for the Giants, Pitcher doubled and raced home on Hollocher's wild throw of Zimmer- mans grounder in an effort to head the Giants captain off third base.
 The Giants took the lead in the seventh. Pick booted Rodriguez groultler and the little Cuban moved around to third base on Rariden's sacrifice and Toney's out, after which Burns singled to right, scoring him. 1oney- walked MerRle III lne Cubs l half of the same inning. Pick sin i gled, Deal sacrificed, and after OFar- rell had famed, Rodriguez kicked | Vaughn's grounder, Merkle scoring with the tying run.
 In the tenth Toney and Burns sin gled. Young pushed them along with a sacrifice. Kauff was side tracked and Mccarthy banged at the ball to right center for two bases scoring Toneyz and Burns.
