A four run lead obtained in the hrst
inning was in itself enough to defeat
Shcboygan on Monday, but the Red
Sox continued to pile up runs there
after, and at the end of the nine in
nings had the game safely tucked away
by score of 9 to 3. Errors figured
strongly in the scoring of both teams.

Sheboygan six blows, while his mates
collected II off the delivery of Braun.
Crutcher outptched Wooten at
Green Bay on Sunday, and Manitowoc
defeated the Bay team in 10 inning

During the greater part of the day the weather was propitious and the dirigible with the American crew which is to bring ter across the Atlantic on board. maneuvered for many miles over land and sea.
 As the afternoon advanced the weather conditions became bad, and a., mist and low clouds gathered and penetrated inland from the Norfolk coast it was decided not to attempt to berth the airshlp owing to the danger of accident. Therefore, the ZR-2 will remain out at sea until dawn at least.
 All preparations have been made at the airdome here for the arrival of the dirigible. Some of the air men here believe that she will ar rive at o'clock in the morning and not later than 8 o'clock in any event. Both the big sheds used in housing balloons and the mooring mast are in readiness. If the weather is not Rusty the mast may be used as her anchorage. If the weather is not propitious the craft will be housed in the shed.
