York Railways and the Fifty-nlnth
Street Line, the Grand Street Line and
the West Belt Line, operated by the
Third Avenue Railway system.
Winthrop & Stimson, as counsel for
Mr. Hedges, served notice on the Pub
lie Service Commission yesterday of
TINS latest move in the disntcgration
OF a unified traction system. It was
stated that in the case of the Grand
Street and West Belt lines transfers

two systems, each system retaining the
fare collected by it and issuing free
transfer to intersecting lines.
In the case of the Fifty-ninth Street

Commission, made in 1912. under
which the New York Railways receives
three cents, and tho the Third Avenue

ing; Wing Ribs Bend Under Weight, but Hold

For three hours yesterday Lieutenant
Beivin W. Maynard few over the Long
Island meadows, afraid to como down.
The predicament Of the famous "ffying
parson," who was the first to complete
the 5,400mile transcontinental air race
occurred in the Greyhound. This is the
reconstructed De Haviland bplane
with which he plans to try to. yfly
across the continent with but one stop.
The fight was to have been the final
test with q full load prior to the great
attempt. The machine had been tuned
up to the last. notch, and more than
300 gallons of gasolene were in her
fuel tanks, bringing the total weight,
including pilot and mechanic, to 5000
pounds. This is the identical load she
must carry to make nonstop fight
of 1900 miles necessary to success.
Lieutenant Maynard managed to get
the peculiar looking biplane off the
ground without any apparent difficulty,
but imme diately it took the air it be-
came evident the load was putting a
tremendous strain upon the wings.
Maynard observed that the wing ribs
had assumed an unusual camber,s and
Immediately guessed the cause. X.
Knowing that to land under those
conditions might result in disaster, he
continued to fly around in great circles
for three hours at full speed in an
effort to consume as much gasoline as

possible and reduce his load to a
factor Of safety for landing. At the
end of that period he had consumed
ninety gallons of gasoline. and re-
duced his load by 45O pounds.
According to officials of Mitchell
Field, he then found the strain on the
wings had become SO pronounced that
he. decided 1t would not be safe to
remain longer in the air, and glidcd
down to landing. This was achieved
safely.
Last night the fabric was taken Off

chanics. and the technical officers of
the army air service began thorough
inspection of the ribs to determine the
effect of the load.
In order to carry the load necessary
for q nonstop flight Of 1000 miles. the
Greyhound has been constructed with
extra heavy landing gear. To over
come this additional weight, small
plane was built in between the landing
wheels to support the landing gear
while i'll the air. In addition to the
main gasoline tank which carries 1913
gallons, extra saddle tanks were built
on to the side of the fuselage.
Maynard already has flown the Grey
hound from Mipeola. to Atlantic City
and back, 232 miles, in 11S minutes
The transcontinental flight he proposes
20 make is from Mincola to Dallas,
Texas, without stop and from the latter
place to San Diego, Cal. without stop.

Dr. Edgar Fauver, the head coach, handled the backtield men, while Coach Liston gave his at- tention to the linemen. Both coaches seem to be undecided as to the best layout for the backfield. J.

Rain Hampers Princeton Practice.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 24.-A driving rain yesterday put a damper upon Roper's plans for a long scrim- mage and limited the work of the Tiger eleven to a signal drill. Prac- ticc was held on University Field and the men were forced constantly to change their positions in order to find moderately dry places in which to get their plays under way. The llne coaches put their men through stiff drill at the start of the afternoons s work, with Hal Ballin in command. The linemen all showed an improve ment in charging and worked to- gether with some Semblance of tea m play for the first time this week. The first defense lincd up at the start of the days work and in signal practice, as it did the day before, but several men were tried out for short times at the guard and tackle positions.

event, winning from Fred Locanda, Clifford Direct and Sure Mike in five heats. R. H. Brett was the only favor ite to come through on the afternoon card. The big son of Waponee car ried off the colors of the 2:09 pace in four heats, Forest Mckinney beating out Minor Hal, the fast timing horse owned by William Lay of Springfield, Mass, in a whipping finish in the first heat.
 Burrills great wiggler did not make any attempt for the first of the fast est pace on the afternoons card, all lowing Minor Hal and Forest MCKin- ney, his two most dangerous contend CTS, to let out little of their strength in dual battle. Brusie, with Minor Hall, was given the pole and the first heat was a procession affair until the stretch, when Wilson took out Forest Mckinney and outbrushed the once unconqucrab ble pacer in these parts. In the second heat, R. H. Brett shot across the track at the word and took the lead from which he was never parted nor was he in any danger in any of the heats.

HOPPE STILL UNBEATEN
Champion Downs Morningstar 400 to 250 and Nearly Equals Tournament High Run.

New York, Oct 24-Willam F. Hoppe continued upon his victorious way in the national championship 1S.2 balkline billiard tourney at the Hotel Astor last night. He defeated Ora Mornlngstar by 400 to 259.
 Although the champion came with in a point of equalling the tourna- ment high run of 165 made by Walter Cochran in the afternoon Hoppe was not up to his usual form and requir- ed eight innings in which to complete his quota of 400 points. His average was 50. Morningstar's best run was 71 and his average 32 3-S.
 The only sensational event of the day was the feat of Cochran in set ting a new high run for the tourney of 165, but the youngster played so loosely in the remainder Of the game as to dim the brilliancy of the run. Cochran beat I<oji Yamada by 400 to 351 in a long drawn out game. The victor made an average of 13 10-30. The losers high run was 93 and his average 12 3-29.
 Morningstar, who played two games yesterday, defeated George Sutton in the afternoon by 400 to 131. The winners high run was 8 and his average was 23 9-17. Sutton's best run was 53 and his average 7 12-17.
 Jakc Schaefer playing indifferent ly, beat George SlossOn by 400 to PSI. The victor's best run was 101 and his ayerage 20. Slosson's high run was 75 and his average fl 1-5-19.
