 The Navy Department at midnight had received no further information regard- ing the missing NC-4, and officers were satisfied that the seaplane had been forced to descend, probably as result of further trouble with the oil pump. which began to work poorly soon aftef the machine left Rockaway. As the NC-fs radio apparatus has sending radius of only about 25 miles when the boat is on the surface of the water, oftl- cers believed Commander Read had been unable to pick up any passing vessel or any of the destroyers which lined the route As the hours passed and no word came regarding the missing plane, officers grew more anxious, but were not appre- hensive as to the safety of the seaplane' crew,

NINE-HOUR TRIP

Commander Towers with the NC-1 and NC-s made the trip to Halifax in frac- ton less than nine hours, the distance on the map over the course they LOOK De- ing 525 miles. These two planes went through the test in such fashion as to convince officers here that prospects Tor reaching Plymouth, England, the ultimate goal of the navy airmen, were exceed ingly bright
 Each of the three planes had triple radio installation when it left Rock away One set was the telephone, by which they communicated with eacn other while in flight at distance of a score or more miles. Stations and guard ships "listened in'' on many of these con-
 versations and reported them. The sec ond set was the regular long distance radio installation, and the third was the equipment for the radio Ncompasses.

MISS BISHOP
 WINS MATCH

Mrs. Georgiana Bishop of this city 1 won her game yesterday in the play for the Griscom cup, when the New Workers scored 3 to against Bos- ton.
 New York players in the Griscom Cup matches in progress at Apa- wamis succeeded in outdoing the Phila elphia entrants in humbling the Boston players yesterday. New York scored a 8 to victory over the Hubites, whereas the Quakers counted 12 to 3 on Wednesday, The Bostoniars were but poor matches for Mrs. E. F. Ubelacker's team
 Mrs. Thomas Hucknau ran into a. reversal in her match with Miss E. Stevens, and Mrs S. A. Herzog also failed to hold up her end of the ar Gument in her match with Mrs R. Steinert. The other o matches went to the local players. Three places on the Boston team were not filled, and New York attached three points through defaults.
 The third angle of the three corner ed contest will be framed today when New York meets Philadelphia. Judg- ing from the records made by the two against Boston the struggles should prove very interesting. The summarizes:

PADDOCK TO DEFEND r1uE

Earl Caddock, worlds heayyweight wrestling champion, who recently re- turned from France, is making pre- paratons to get into condition to de- lend his title and has announced that he will take on all of the challengers who are really entitled to a chance at the wrestling crown. Among these are Lewis, Zbyszko, and Stecher, who are the recognized leading contenders for the championship. It is quite probable that title match will be ar ranged for early in the autumn, prob ably on Labor Day.
 Give me little time to get Into shape and I will meet any one in the world who thinks he has a claim on the heavyweight wrestling champion ship" said Caddock at his home in walnut Iowa. T do not think that my overseas experience has done me any harm as & wrestler. On the con trary, I feel better than ever But if l find that I cannot get into condi- ton for title match I will retire rom the game and devote my time to farming and let the present aspir- ants fight it out among themselves"

LOCALS RETURN AFTER LOSING
 TWO STRAIGHT

After losing two straight games to Eddie Eayrs' Grays in Providence, Ray Grimes Americans returned to Newfeld Park, this afternoon, pre- pared to take on the clam diggers in the third game of the series. Just who would serve the pitches for the locals was problematical for Grimes had not made up his mind when seen this morning.
 The locals, however, are far from discouraged by the showing they made at the Rhode Island capital. In both instances they served the Grays with bitter contests, the clam diggers winning by close margins. Take yesterdays game, for instance, the Grays won that victory in the ninth inning when Eddie Eayrs drove single through the box with Hauser coming home from third with the tally that decided the contest
 Marty Walsh had an unusually busy day on the mound and was hit frequently and effectively by the Grays at just the proper time- Dem ny Gearin twirled for Providence and he allowed only four Bridseports- Braun, Martin, K.

 Toledo. June 6.---Sparring partners capable of handing out punishment in stead of absorbing it is the paramount need in Jess WilIard's training camp if the champion is to get hardened for his championship contest with Jack Dempsey here July 1, boxing experts declared today.
 Willard can stand with his hands at his sides, if he so desires, and allow the present sparring partners in camp Ito drive blows at his jaw and stomach without apparent effect, but sporting experts said that was no indica ton that he could expose his vulnerable parts when Dempsey begins shooting his gloved fists at him. The cha1- lenger is a fighter of the Fftzsinmons type with powerful forearms and ter rife hitting power, and capable of stopping a foe with either hand.
 Ray o. Archer, manager of the heavyweight champion, is due in New York today to locate one or perhaDs two sparring partners capable of trad ing wallops with Willard instead of being on the receiving end. Harry Willis, the giant negro heavyweight, is available, but Willard will not tol- crate a negro in camp because. after winning the championship from Jack J Johnson, he established a color line
 Walter Monahan, a veteran in Will lard's service, is the chief sparring partner in camp, but experts pointed out that he is not in condition to with stand Willard's attack, as he has been in the army for several months and has had no opportunity to condition himself for the gruelling work
 Ldonahan was knocked out in his first go with the champion, VVednes- day
 Jack Dempsey is spending the last day of his vacation today. The challenger, already chafing under the restraint of idleness, will resume his conditioning grind at his Maumee Bay shore camp tomorrow

Dairyman's Investment Paid

A good dairy bull. purchased by a

her, cost 500 as a calf; 1t was put
at the head of a hero of 10 cows, the
average annual production of which
was $500 pounds OF milk and 260
pounds of butter fat. The daughters
of the bull have now replaced the old
cows in the herd and exceed the pro-
duction of their dams by an average
of 1O2 pounds of butter fat and 1.82S
pounds of milk per year. This i'm
provement nets $30U profit each year
without taking into account the diff
ference in value of the calves. A COW
should Garry on" for at least six
years, which would mean 81 800 ad-
ditional profit from the 10 cows, be-
cause of the 500 invested in the bull
calf. "It was a bully good invest
ment," says this farmer.

Russian Sunflowers
Make Good Silage

Silage made from Russian sun
flowers has attracted considerable at
tention in western Colorado and parts
of Montana. All who have fed 1t are
very enthusiastic over the results OBJ
tanned. For dairy cows. sheep and
beef cattle 1t is proving an excellent
feed. G. 8. Ray, Of the Colorado
Agricultural College, has the follow
ing to say regarding the growing Of
sunfowers for silage:
THE yields obtained from sun
flowers are much greater than from
corn. Twenty to thirty tons per acre
under Irrigation are the ordinary
yields for sunfowers. while corn un-
der the same conditions will yield
but ten to twelve tons. In Montana.
rs to 80 tons of sunflowers per acre
are reported. The Nevada expert
ment station harvested 20 tons Of
sunflower silage per acre, while corn
IA tons. On dry farms, sunflowers
have produced from to 8.5 tons of
silage per acre.
"Sunflowers also 3eem well adapt
ed to localities too cool for corn. They
will make a silage crop in shorter
season than will corn. They may be
planted very early IN the spring;
light frosts after the plants are up
are not injurious.
"Sungowers are usually drilled in
8 u foot rows with the plants in
ches apart in the row. Planting is
done with an ordinary corn planter
or grain drill. Where a grain drill
is used, a sufficient number of feed
cups must be stopped up to give the
required distance between rows. On
irrigated land, s or 8 pounds of seed
per acre are used, while 5 pounds are
sufficient on dry farms. Seedbod pre-
paration, cultivation, and irrigation
are practically the same as for corn.
"Sunflowers are ready for the silo
when the seed is in .ne milk stage.
They should be harvested with a corn
binder Cor by hand II the acreage Is
smalD and run thru silage cutter
which will chop the plants into pieces
u to " inch in length. To prevent
spoilage, thoro packing in the silo is
very essential. Ordinarily, no water
need be added to the silage as the
plants contain sufficient amount
themselves"
