Spatz Third in Race
Because Beacon Was
Not Lighted in Time

Darkness was blotting out the out
lines of hangers and tents at Mitchell
and Hazelhurst flying fields at Mineola
yesterday when an officer announced
that it was feared the transcontinental
aiers had lost their course in the storm
and would not arrive for many hours.
The crowd of several hundred persons
who had waited all day to see the
Eastern finish of the transcontnental
air race began to melt away.
Then Colonel Archie Miller ordered
a gasolene fare lighted on the chance
that Major Carl Spatz and Lieutenant
Emil c. Kiel would find their way
through mists that hiers sent to guide
them had been unable to penetrate.
Soldiers hurried into the centre of
Mitchell Field with cans Of gasolenc, and
poured the contents on to the dry
grass, making an inf1ammahle area
about gfteen feet wide and 100 feet
long, "down the wind" blowing from the
north.
Delay Fateful in Spatz
There was little delay in finding
match. 1t was a fateful delay for
Major Spatz. His De Havland 4
those few seconds and after circling
overhead alighted--on Hazelhurst Field,
cut of bounds.
But the watchers on Mitchell Field,
the official finish, had not seen him, or,
if they had, confused him with one of
the half dozen planes that had been
carrying passengers aloft all afternoon.
Then the matches we're produced
and a stream Of fire blazed up in
Mitchell Field It's light was reflected
far and wide, and cast sharper CLEANS
on the outlines Of two ed-hame spit
ting airplanes-one coming from the
west and the other from the north
The machine from the north circled
Mitchell Field, and then swooped to
earth and came to q stop after cours-
ing alongside the strip of burning
grass. In it was Lieutenant Kiel.
