dirigible ZR-2. which was blown from
her course by a heavy storm which
waged over the east coast OF England
early this morning. was safe OF How
den at about o'clock. The weather
at Pulham was Improving hourly and
II was expected the airship would. sail
for that place today, landing this
afternoon or evening. The perfection
of devices for communicating weather
conditions between ground stations
and the ZR-2 probably saved the big
airship from a disastrous encounter
with the storm, the air ministry re-
ported.
The big aircraft. purchased by the
American Navy from Great Britain. IS
on a trial trip from Howden to Pull
ham. The voyage began at TO O'Clock
yesterday morning and was expected
TO end before darkness fell over East
ern England. During the greater part
of the day the weather was propitious
and the dirigible. with the American
crew which is 20 bring her across the
Atlantic on board. maneuvered .for
many miles over land and sea.
As the afternoon advanced the
weather conditions became bad, and
as mist and low clouds gathered and
penetrated inland from the Norfolk
coast it was decided not to attempt to
berth the airshiP last night owing to
the danger OF accident. Therefore the
zR-2 remained cut at sea all digit.

Impetus at the hands OF A j. Baca as

bout with Demon ReVcra, with
whom he is accused. falsely, of having
refused a fight sometime ago.
Hamilton is one of Pueblo fighters,
who because he is a local boy, is not
given credit for what he has really ac-
complishcd in the realm of fistiania.
Out of los battles fought since he
began his ring career in 1914, Hamilton
has lost but six,-those via the knock
out route.
Such men as Benny Chavez, Dixie
Quintana, Young Dempsey, Fiankie
Rcgau and Jimmy Curtie, have felt

His last battle, with Young Sol, proved
to be Unfortunate for the little horses

the hay-maker tour.
1t is a known fact that Jockey was
not in condition at tho time. He had

for that is the title that Jockey Ham

This is the way it goes: Benny
Chavez, who has fought such men as
Johnny Kilbane, Pal Moore. Eddie
Campi and Battling Chico. was recog-
nizcd as 1l5-pound champion of Colo
rado and New Mexico. Ho took on all
corners in his weight and was success
full in retaining his crown, until-un-
til Dixie Quintana knocked him loose
in 1914.
Then along comes our local boy
