FLYING NOT LIMITED
TO YOUNG men,, SAY
BRITISH EXPERTS

LONDON, April Is. - The fact
that only young men capable Of
passing severe physical tests were
accepted for aviation work during
the war has caused the belief that
flying as a sport will be barred-to
persons past the prime of youth.
That is a mistake, according to
British experts, who say that for
ordinary peace-time flying there
should be no age limit. The only
qualifications they set are good
eyesight and a sound heart.
Flying an airplane, 1t is pointed
out, is much simpler and far less
nerve racking than driving an au-
tomobile or sailing a yacht. Any
man who has lived a decent open
air life, especially If he has played
games and hunted, will find that
learning to fly, wen at the age of
fifty, is quite an easy business, ex-
perts say. A modern airplane will
virtually fly itself, and the controls
are so arranged that a man, even
on his first trip, it is argued, does
the right thing instictively.
In the early days Of the war fully
so per cent of the British airmen
were over 80 years old. AS the art
of aerial warfare developed the pilot
had to prove himself proficient in
bombing, wireless telegraphy, for
nation flying, cloud navigation and
the numerous stunts that became
essential for the air fighter. This
was the phase of war flying that
called for iron nerve and fear
blindness. eliminating all aspirants
except the young.

The lid is decorated with the in

Sergeant Kaufman was among

LONDON, April IL. - Mining is
more deadly than war, declared
John Robertson at the govern

dustry of Great Britain. Robert

"The extent of the danger to the
miner is not realized even in the

and about British coal mines. In

SICKNESS NOT
INFLUENZA, SAY DOCTORS

The epidemic of sickness raging
in Tonopah, Silver Peak and Blair
Is said by Goldfield physicians not
to be influenza, but plain grippe,
and they explain the number of
deaths recently by stating that the
number is not unusual for this sea-

the City League. He gave a wonder full account of himself then and judg ing from what he has shown so far this season the current year will be his banner one so far as amateur and interscholastic baseball is concerned.
 Now to get back to the High school itself: Last Friday the locals tackled the Ansonia High and grabbed the game 10 to 6. This victory should have been far better. 4 little more care in handling the ball, together with heavier hitting would have done the trick. But while the hitting showed an improvement over pre- vious games the defensive work Topped considerably with the result that cratic playing enabled the An sonians to score each of their six runs.F Lavery's stickwork pulled the team through in this game also, while Burns hurIing attracted more or less attention. But the latter was given wretched support.
 What the Bridgeport High School team needs is confidence-not over confidence. Its players are a good lot, if they will use some brains and wait for good offering instead of swinging with the whirl of the hurler.

Baseball practice at NewfieId park was to be resumed today with more vigor for the seasons opening is but ten days and the locals are set on being at their best. With the locals today was to work out Marty Walsh, the hurler who played with Bridge port several years ago, and whose coming here was hailed with so much enthusiasm among the fans. Marty arrived from New York yesterday. Although he has done very little play ing Walsh is in fine condition and has pitched some splendid games with semi-pros in New York and vicinity. As was expected the Eastern League season will open here with New Ha- ven on May 14.

Incidentally 1t may be said that these aggressive players are cap- able of uttering their capthin's thoughts. On the opening day of the season umpire Klem said that Wheat generally says about five words to him during a season, but now that he is captain of the club he will only say about three.
 Pat Moran had a hard time in get ting his spring training started, but with a fair break in luck from now on and since his players have gotten into better condition he will make some of his rivals hustle.
 The index finger of Al Baird's right hand was badly split in a recent game at Washington and he was unfit for duty for several days.

 Arthur Fletcher was the first to have his name recorded on the Giants hospital list, the shortstop having been incapacitated by a series of injuries. He was hit on the left ankle by a pitched ball in one of the games of the recent Washington se- ries, wrenched his back severely in the game with the Interborough team on the Polo Grounds the day, before the season opened, and on the follow ing day stopped a batted ball with his right ankle. His injuries did not re- spond to treatment and both ankles were badly swollen the next day and his back was so sore that he could scarcely raise his arms Manager McGraw told him to rest up for a few days and assigned Eddie Sicking to the short field.
