FIyIng Years Ago.
"That the first airshp landing Townsville ever

Our first official landing staged six or
ago when Fowler was putting a trans-continental
flight and stopped here by appointment the field

away in good time
The things have changed however, since Fow-

and things like that He satisfied make straight
flight and added luser to his name for his achieve

The flights these days tame, comparatively when
the flyers merely fly 1t takes the fancy thrill
the people, although there are hundreds who still want
to and glad to have chance to go almost
anywhere to get close enough to touch a ma

We established as an official landing place for
machines, however, and we may expect many more in
the future. Our field is good and it will be kept
because the growing interest aviation many

OIL EXCITEMENT
BRINGS FORMING
NEW COMP ANY

Turning their holdings of several
to holding company, NJ. c. Hay
ward and Albert Stevens of Brawley
have made themselves famous over
night as oil property promoters.
! During the rush of enthusiastic
claim hunters few weeks ago Stew
ems acted as guide for oil experts
Gregg and Hayward, who had an eY
for business and planted few claims
of their own.

cned they got busy with the result

is believed to represent thhe Stand
ard. Gregg, in company another eX
pert named Lewis, was in the Valley
last Friday and left on Saturday for
Los Angeles to submit further re-
ports to their principals. What they
are aiming to do probably will not
be definitely known by the public un-
til their arrangements are complete.
One thing only of their activities
seems known positively and that is
that Gregg has staked out large
area of land in the vicinity of the
James we'll for. the Ohio Oil COM
pany, which is reputed to be branch
Of the Standard Oil. Mr.. Lewis is
reported to have said of the James

TTLDEN BEATS MURRAY.
Philadelphia Tennis Player Gets Re-
 yengc for Defeat Last Year,

Philadelphia, Pa, May 14-Using varied attack, William T. Tilden 2d defeated R. Lindley Murray in an exhibition match at tho Germantown Cricket club yesterday. The score was 6-2. S-6. It was the first meeting of the two players since their match at Forest Hills last Sep tember, when Murray triumphed in the national singles final.
 Tilden abandoned his usual rushing style, and instead of going to the net whenever possible played the back court and mid-court. They drove, smashed, lobbed. killed and caressed the ball, never using the same style for long.
 Murray was slow in getting warmed LID to his game and before the spec tators realized it Tilden had won the first set Both players were going at a fast pace when the second set opened and frequent rallies brought forth rounds of applause from those . surrounding the clay court.
 There will he a series of matches next Sunday at the Germantown Cricket club. in which Kumagae, BcaIs Wright, TiIden, Merrill Hall, Craig Riddle and Wallace Johnson will compete.

25 PLAYER LIMIT IN NATIONAL RESTORED
Leaeue Votes to Add Four Men
 to Present Allowance

New York May 14.--The unpopu- lar 21-plaNer limit yesterday was q abolished by the National league in special session held at league head quarters, when the parent league Vot- cd to revert to the old limit of -D tional league up to the season of 1913. The new limit will go into effect to- morrow.
 At the time that John Heydler. president of the National league an nounced that the National league would return to Q 2o-playes' limit, he said that the American league would adopt similar legislation in the imme- date future.
 The American league continued un- der a 25 limit even during the years that the National operated under player limits of 21 and 22 players. However, last winter the leagues at d joint meeting adopted a uniform play CT limit of 21. This limit never went into effect in either league. though managers were prepared to cut down by next Thursday While the resolution increasing the National league limit to p players says the action is due to the unsettled conditions in the minor leagues, the baseball men largely were actuated by the prospects of real pre-war sea- son. The resolution adopted by the National league follows:
 Resolved, That in view of the pres ent unsatisfactory condition prevail ing with the minor leagues and the difficulty of placing players out on op- tional agreements the National league favors returning to the 25 player limit as provided by the National agree ment."
 Allot Sunday Rules.
 In addition to increasing the player ] limit the National league allotted 1 Sunday dates on the Polo grounds and | ; Ebbets field. The Philadelphia club, | which already has had one profitable 1 Sunday on the Polo grounds, seems to have made out the best. It gets 8 Sep ! l ten1ber date on the Polo grounds and l four Sundays on Ebbets field. 1 The Sunday dates scheduled for the | New York parks arc as follows: At Polo Grounds. May 1S-CinCnnati.
