AVIATION PLANS FOR THIS YEAR
 LOOK EXCITING

New York. April IT - Air events planned for 1920 promise to make it a big aviation sport year, according to the American Flying Club. The first
 event of importance will be the flying
 field day of the Intercollegiate Flying
 Association at MineoIa Field, CN. Y.)
 May '. Eleven colleges and universf-
 ties will be represented in varied pro-
 gram of flying stunts, which will be
 concluded with a cross country flight
 In this race each will be permitted to
 enter two airplanes and a cup will be
 awarded to the winner The start will
 be made at Mineola Field, where the
 race also will end after a circuit that
 probably will include Philadelphia and Princeton.
 Arrangements also are being made
 by the club for a seap1ane race around Long Island. This probably will be held early in the summer The club is cooperating with the training and operations group of the United States Army Air Service in planning for a trans continental air race between New York and Alaska, a distance of 4,870 miles. In the tentative plans the course is mapped out from Min cola across United States territory to Minot, N. D., crossing to Saskatche- wan, Canada. and across the Domin- l ion to Fort Egbert on the Alaska border. In Alaska the route runs to | Circle, Fort Yukon, Fairbanks by way of Fort Gibbon, thence to NuIato and i Nome Compulsory stops at an av- craze of each 15O miles will be ar ranged.
 Flying events of a sporting nature | will not be confined, however, to the 1 United States in 1920. In France d | flying meet is scheduled to be held at ] Juvisy, near Paris, May 22 and 23.
 The British aircraft exhibition will be l held at London in July. In addition | the British government has offered | several millions in pounds as prizes i for various airplane sporting events | to be held during the year. The Cape i to Cairo route is being bIazed. Be- | tween the two points the distance by
 rail, steamship or ground transport is l approximately 6,223 miles. The aerial | line is about 5,200 miles.

Car pentier bought quantity of eatalbles and brought them into the hovel of a home where he found his late oppo- nent, bruised and crestfaHen in a chair
 "Rernemrber n1e?'' interrogated Georges extending his hand The old timer experienced his second knock out of the evening when he recog- nized his conqueror.

K. Of (. Five In
 New Haven Tonight

New Haven, April 1.-The final curfew will be rung on the basketbai Il season in New Haven tonight when the High school class of 1915 Will stage a two-fea ture attraction at the York square gym in which the H1sh school five and Botwinik's All Stars will clash in one game and the New Haven and Bridgeport K. of c. quln- tets will meet in the other. Dancing will follow the games and the entlra receipts will be donated to charity.
 A large delegation will accompany the Bridgeport knights because or their belief that the local brethren are in for a licking. The down stat CTS will be led by McCran, Blue Rib bon star and a well known figure in basketball in these parts. Murphy of Bridgeport High will play the other forward position.
 The local knights have donated their services and although they may enter the game with the odds against them no effort has been made to inn port outside players who might strengthen the team. The decision of the management to make the teanl stand or fall on it's own ability is gen. orally commended in sport circles.
 Higgins, Walsh and O'Connell will play forward for the New Haveners, Din non and Gordon center, and Fergusf and Daley guards.

Gibson, Texas Youth,
 Is Good Backstop

A young catcher named Gibson, now on the roster of the San Antonio club, no doubt will draw the atten- tion of many major league scouts this year, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that he will be grabbed by one of the big time clubs before the Texas League season draws to a close.
 He is a splendid backstop, and he can hit the ball. too. He is far and away the best ball player in the San Antonio club. Two or three years ago Gibson received a trial with the Detroit Tigers and was carried by that club for half a season. put he was too young and inexperienced at that time to make much of an inn pression on Hughie Jennings. and he drifted back to the minors. He now appears to be ready for another trial in fast company.

Stecher Proved He
 Is Real Champion
His Victory Over Strangler Lewis Last Night Showed What Title Holder Can Do Against Opponent
 Who Was After Him Every Minute

New York, April Hast nights victory of Champion Joe Stecher over Strangler Lewis showed that Stecher is no fuke title holder. He beat Lewis in one of the longest and most exciting wrestling matches of recent years.
 Stecher won in three hours, four minutes and fifteen seconds with a head scissors and arm lock.
 Shortly before the third hour mark was reached, Lewis obtained three in such quick succession that it ap- peared as though the champion was weakening.
 Lewis held each for about min utes, but on the last one stecher turned quickly and obtained a body scissors which he held for
 three minutes and four seconds, while Lewis bridged. When free, Lewis
 made wild attempt for another
 headlock. Stecher broke the hold,
 lifted his opponent up in his arms and threw him heavily to the center of the
 mat on his back. The champion
 then bounced on him and in fifteen seconds pinned his shoulders down. Stecher was unusually aggressive
 and forced the pace for the first half IIOuI, COhSidnIIy LeWlS
 a painful reverse arm hold. The
 first good hold was obtained by the challenger after AS minutes wrestling when he got his favorite headlock ! which lasted A seconds. Stecher re. taliated with a similar hold combined with an arm scissors. Lewis was in ! jeopardy for 55 seconds.
 Lewis became more aggressive af- ter the first hour, obtaining severa' headlocks with a flying motion. A | half hour later the champion hel6 Lewis for more than two minutes
 with a body scissors which nearly ended the match. He struggled ! f1erceIy before getting out and got 2 i toe hold, from which Stecher kicked l himself free
 Just before the end of the secont hour Stecher twisted out of a les 1 scissors and brought his opponent tC 1 the mag with a reverse arm hold bu 1 the men rolled off the mat. Later 1 the champion got a punishing side | body scissors hold which seemed tt

Tom Savers vs. Heenan
 Was Great Battle

Tom sayers and John C. Heenan fought two hours and six minutes to a draw at Farnboro1gh. Eng, 50 years ago today Sayers was cham pion of England, and Heenan, 4-tae Benica boy was an Irash-Anerb=an and champion of America The Eng Ifshr1aaI1 was only 3 feet s izches in height while Heenan was a Feritabie giant. standing 6 feet 1 inch. The conflict was a desperate one. Hee- nan had a punch like a mules kick, and nearly knocked Savers out in the early round, but the EngIishnfan matched skill against strength, and was fighting ganaeIy when the police 1nterfered after two hours and six minutes of fighting.
 Heenan, believing that he was be- ing robbed, thrott1ed Savers. and knocked over his seconds, and then fled from the cops. Both men were awarded belts, and Savers imme- diateIy retired from the ring, while Beenan was defeated shortly after ward by Tom King.

 BASE BY TANKS

New York, April 1z--If there is nothing against Heine Zimmerman on the books of baseball several big league clErfas would like to get him.

 Heine is te1ngeeramental, but he oug1n, Eo have at least a year of third -haSinIg left in him His baseball status is not exactly clear It is known McGraw tendered hiT1aa c on tract, which Zimmerman refused to sign That's all that has been made prib4fe about the matter, and AcGraw will not discuss it.
 Despite the fact that the Giants have been beaten twice by the Bos- tonians, the belief that they will be close up in the National Ieague race is unslaa4a. McGraw has great pitching now, and it will steadily get better as the weather grows warmer He has the best oUtfield in the league and plenty of secondary strength

Cobb Doesn't Like to
 Do Spring Training

Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Detroit S s20. 900 star, did not report at the training camp at the appointed time. He sent word that he had to attend to other matters and was in no hur- " to begin practice. Cobb has been doing this old stunt for many years. He is the big card and he knows that he can have his own way. Manager Jennings finds no fault with him, be- cause that would be a waste of words Cobb always is in shape when he first puts on his uniform. and then he plays the game for all he is worth.

Charley White Still
 Fighting Out West

Eastern boxing followers are won dering what has happened to Charley White, who before the United States entered the war was f1attening all corners with his left hook. White did not do professional boxing during the war, but after the close of hostilities he began again. Since his return to the ring White has confined his fistic activities to the far West, and it was seldom that the accounts of his bat ties have been published in the East Of late he has been knocking them over with something of his old time regularity. Some of his recent vic tories were Buff Brownson, one round; Tom Mackay, two rounds, and Don Curley. eight rounds

 Here is a little yarn about Georges Carpenter which is net generally known, illustrating the splendid qual- itieS which have made him the idol of the French people, and already en- deared him to sport followers and lovers of red-blooded manhood on this side of the Atlantic:
 In the early part of Carpenters ca reer Gtopges, then a middleWeight- was matched with a veteran of the ring who had slipped down after ris- ing near the top of his class in France Age and dissipation had taken their toll but the old timer fig ured, as they always do, that he had one more good fight in him. Carpen- tier, young and ambitious. was just beginning to make a name for him self as one of Willie Lewis most promising pupils.
 The veteran was fully as clever as the dynamic Carpenter and he hit a fearful wallop. In the early part of the setto the tide of battle surged back and forth, with the old timer having a. shade tine better of it. How ever, the griHing pace soon told on the old boxer and his guard becoming enfeebled Carpenters punches finally
