Omaha daily bee., 1921-11-03

Omaha is the pivotal point in the
worlds air lanes today. With the
opening session of the first Inter.
national Aero congress and the stag
ing OF one OF the aeronautical worlds
greatest speed classics-the second
annual Pulitzer trophy race--the city
is the Mecca OF scores of flyers and
thousands of aviation devotces.
Nine OF the fastest speed planes
ever constructed are scheduled to
face the starter in the Pulitzer race
at Omaha field to battle for air SUI
premacy over 150-rnile distance this
afternoon. That the winner will have
to travel at the rate of three miles
minute at least is the prediction OF
experts. The 30-mile course is
fraught with danger for the high
speed planes. Each of the pilots. it
is reported, will wear 'an attached
parachute, so that he may jump in
event his ship heads for the earth at
one of the dangerous turns in the
triangle, which is to be circled FIVE
times.
Start at / O'clock.
The start is to be made at o. III.
and the hrstthree planes will be sent
away at intervals. The second trio
will be started at 2 p. m. and if there
are more than six starters ready the
third field will be started at o'clock.
Each field is expected to complete
the distance in less than an hour
With clear weather forecast the
pilots expect to wage hard battle
for the $1,000 purse and the trophy,
which spells super-prowess in the air.
The battle supreme is expected be-
tween Bert Acosta in Curtiss Navy
racing plane with a 400 horsepower
motor, and Clarence Combs in the
Cactus Kitten" which also is
equipped with a 400 horsepower
plant. Either of these machines is
capable Of speed in excess of 200
miles an hour on the straightaway.
Both pilots have established reputa-
tions for intrepidity and rare ability.
Pulitzer Trophy Course.
The Pulitzer trophy course starts
with l2-mile leg from Omaha field
to point north of Calhoun, then
across Emile leg to Loveland, Ia.
and an ll-mile stretch from Love-
land to the starting point at Omaha
field.
In making the start each flyer
will take off and attain top speed

Yankee Golf, Tennis and
Polo Players Have Got
the JOhnnies Guessing

NEW YORK. May 12-American's polo
team now getting ready for the inter
national cup matches ia Egypt, is max
ing a most impressive showing
Devereaux Milburns four won the first
three practice matches In a style that
has opened the eyes Of the British
sportsmen.
While the teams played aren't of the
class that win defend the cup next
month, the Americans have beaten good
combinations and have shown fine form
by piling up big scores.
Press comment from the other side in
dicates that the British are none too
sure that the cup viii not be brought
back to America.
Captain Milburne and his men are not
Boosting They are telling interviewers
that they have a fair chance 20 win.
The same lack OF Dragging that the
British have come TO accept as a part OF
the American makeup has been carried
out by the amateur golf team.
Some surprise was expressed In tho
British papers when Francisco Ouimet
and Bobby Jones said they had just
about an even chance 10 win the British
amateur title.
Concern entertained by the British over
the golf championship Ia expressed In the
words of a prominent English player who
said. when it became sure that Chick
Evans and Ouimet would play: There
goes two more championships
william Tilden. winner Of the British
national tennis championship last year,
sailed today to defend his title In this
years tournament.
After seeing the tall Philadelphia I'm
action last year and watching his prog
reas through the Davis cup matches, the
British are frank to admit that only a
great reversal of form can prevent him
from repeating.
