Benedict Crowell, assistant Secre-

Of probably the gentlest airplane
crash in the history Of aviation at
Roosevelt Field. where he had gone
to witness the start Of the transcon-
dnental race.
Mr.. Crowe!l, who was chairman Of
the American aviation mission. was
invited by Col. Archie Miller to take
a ride about noon and accepted with
pleasure. Col. Miller telephoned his
former adjutant, who was at Hazel
hurst Field, Capt. Maurice Cleary
to bfius over ship" Capt. Cleary
scurried around and finally found a
Curtiss II" which had not been
snapped up by the eager contestants
In the transcontinental race. He
zoomed over the boundary between
the two fields and alighted at Roose-
Welt. where Mr.. Crowell with bor-
rowed leather clothes. helmet and
goggles was waiting.
Mr.. Croweli hoped into the machine

suddenly. stopped and then continued
again for moment. Then It stopped.
Capt. Cleary saw that II he went
straight ahead with d dead stick" he
would crash into some buildings at the
edge of the field, so banked around down
one side Of the field.
The wind. which had been buoying the
machine up, was now blowing in tho
same direction as the plane was travel
ling. 1t lost flying speed and dropped
gently toward the ground. The tip OF
one wing hooked into the ground as the
wheels touched. and slowly the tail of
the airplane rose in the air as the plane
stopped. The tail rose up and the nose
dug into the ground. For a moment the
plane stood straight on end and then
slowly the tail fell all the way over,
landing the machine on It's back.
''Get 1t going!" yelped an officer, one
Of the crowd on the feld. Instantly off,
GERS and men rushed toward the over
turned machine. visions OF crushed bod

the ambulance was manned and mechan-

any one could reach the scene two fig-

the crowd. An auto rushed out and
loaded them In and brought them up TO
the edge of the crowd. which had been
prevented from rushing forward. Neither

PARIS. Oct. S.-The latest dispatches
received in Paris indicate that Bull
garia is heading fast in the direction
of Bolshevism. This is supported by
the reports that the Theodoroff Min
istry, just returned to Sofia from
Paris with the treaty. has been
forced to resign, and will be succeed
ed by a new Government dominated
by the Agrarian Communists and
headed by M. Stamhoulinski. a no
torious Agrarian leader of marked
Socialist and pro-soviet tendencies.
The last elections In Bulgaria indicate
the direction In which the nation Is
being driven. Three important factions
OF the Left namely. the Agrarians. Com
munists and the Extreme Socialists. cap
tured III seats. against one seat OF the
Moderate Radoslavoff party, thus con-
trolling more than three-quarters OF the
National Assembly.
The overthrow of the Theodoroff Gov
ernment will not be without effect on
the peace treaty. II Is understood that
the Bulgarian deieSation will be changed
completely and new plenipotentiaries
will be sent to Paris with the treaty.
Bulgarla's twenty-eight days of grace,
within which she must return the treaty

change In the Bulgarian Government
was brought about. It Is believed. chiefly
to influence Socialist opinion among the
Allies In favor OF Bulgaria and implies
an appeal to be let OF easily.

CINCINNATI. Oct. S.-Eddie Cicotte's
name Is ansthema here tonight. For
the wild. and utterly disappointed
baseball legions of this city its ut
terance is more bitter than aloes, and
its accents more painful than the
prod OF a bayonet. For Cicotte this
afternoon was responsible for the
postponement Of a great celebration.
ss4yust when the Queen City was all
decked out to acclaim the Cincinnati
Nationals the world champions and
gloat over the Chicago Americans. Ci-
cote decided 10 come back. He re-
turned attired in bells, spangles and
all the other approved regalia of
splendid achievement. The squatty
pitcher allowed the Cincinnatis only
seven hits. while his teammates made
ten of Harry sallee. and led the
White Sox to a most decisive and
ciean-cut victory. by 4 to 1.
Cincinnati had won four games.
two OF them at the expense of this
very same Cicotte. 1t needed only
one more triumph to end the series
and take the worlds title.
The White Sox, who had won only
two games, We're forced to the neces-
sity OF winning this afternoon or be-
ing counted out Of the honors and
no mean financial considerations
which go to the victors. To Cicotte
was presented the alternative of be-
ing the savior of his team or going
down into baseball history as q far
herslded pitcher who in the supreme
test had failed thrice. And Cicotte
was able to accept the former course.
Play I'm Chicago To-day.
As result Chicago tonight once
more is a formidable contender. while
Cincinnati, though still In the lead by
four games to three. expresses no great
confidence in It's ability to keep the
White Sox at bay in the eighth contest
at Chicago tomorrow. But II does af-
firm most vigorously that the honors
will land here, for II has the greatest
taith IN horace Eiler' VINO is oouh'ea
on to pitch the ninth game should such
an affair be necessary. Should this con-
test eyentuate Il will be staged in Gin
