Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
Two injured members of the crew are
in Marietta hospital.
Last night a guard was thrown
around the approaches to the wreckage
in a belated effort to stem the tide
of curious visitors who had thronged
the scene by thousands from early
yesterday through last midnight.
DISASTER INEVITABLE.
Nothing could have saved the diri-
gible in its hattie with the storm. ac-
cording to the consensus of all MEM
bers of the crew. Neither was it any
fault of The ship in their opinion. The
disaster was the result of the most
feared Of storms to an aviator, line
squall, the result of the clash of hot
and cold currents of air.
Lieutenant Charles 4. Rosendahl,
who came into command of the crew
after the death of Lieutenant Com
inanders Lansdowne and Louis j. Han
cock declared. that nothing could have
saved the Shenandoah and that hui
ship to live through the ordeal.
Commander J. II. Klein, executive
officer of the Lakehurst naval air sta
tion, with two other officers of the
United States navy were to hold in
quests here and at Bellevalley to de-
termine the cause of the wreck.
At the same time naval officers
are at Marietta aiding in the care
of the injured men, Chief Gunner
Raymond Cole. Lima. Ohio, and Rig
ger John F. Mccarthy, Freehold, n.
j., whose injuries are believed to be
not fatal.
Looting at the scenes Of disaster
which was so prevalent yesterday,
will be prevented today by a detail
of 45 men and q number of officers
from Fort Hayes, Columbus. Ameri-
can Legion men, Salvation Army
workers, local constables and the No
bic county sheriff and his deputies
were on the scene yesterday and to-
day, helping wherever they could. The
Salvation Army lassies served coffee
and sandwiches today as the work of
investigating the accident progresses.
Better protection from the elements
must be the goal of further dirigible
development as the result of the Shen-
andoah disaster in the opinion of Col
onel G. G. Hale, U. s. A, official OBJ
server aboard the ship.
He said he believed the accident
was no reflection on the crew.
Better communication might have
saved u.s." he declared. Scientific
men who study the movement Of
storms might have warned us and
aided us in averting the disaster"
SHIP 5000 FEET HIGH.
Lieutenant Rosenthal made positive
denial that the ship was flying too
near the ground and that its gondolas
caught on the tree tops causing the
disaster. Other officers have concurred
in the assertion that the ship was
at an altitude of at least 5000 feet
when 1t was struck by the squall.
The survivors were unanimous in
asserting that the fact the gas cham
beers were filled with helium was all
that prevented an explosion. Reports
that lightning had struck the ship and
was partly responsible for the crash,
were denied by survivors and wit
nesses of the catastrophe.

Last week Miss Collett did the first

only the male stars perform.
While the American and English
women'S tournaments are of about the
same age, this fact need not be taken
as evidence that English women did
not precede their American sisters on
the links by a sufficient number of
years to account for the poor success
which Americans have had in the
woman's championships on the other
side.
Women were playing in this coun-
try in 1892, but they were merely a
handful: in fact, the golf idea among
American men at that time was hardly
more than a promising germ. 1t was
indeed as recently as 1888 that a lit
tie group of rather self-conscious men
passed through the streets of Yon.
kers, N. Y, and, repairing to an open
space, hung their coats on an old
apple tree and played the first game
of golf ever played in this country.

On second thought this may be an
erroneous statement. Golf sticks may
have been swung somewhere in the
United States before 1888, but in that
year, in the field outside of Yonkers-
to be precise on November 1.-THE
ST Andrews Golf Club was organized
and the birth celebrated with a game
of golf. So whether the game in any
other part of the country was played
anterior to this time, it may not be
disputed that November of the year
1883 saw the first golf played under
the aegis of regularly organized
club.
Started i'm Early COS.
But, to get back to the women,
while corporals guard of fair
Americans were indulging in the
sport in the early nineties, women
were recognized as playing members
at st. Andrew. Westward Ho and
North Berwick as early as 1884.
Just how Americans are beginning
to overcome this handicap may be
gathered from the fact that at Troon
only Miss Joyce Wethered, the Brit
ish champion. is regarded as stand
ing between Miss Collett and the
British ladies' championship title.

The brilliant field of sprinters that
will toe the mark in the heats will
include Captain-elect P. S. Jim
Barber of the California team. When
Russell of Cornell recently defeated
Hill in the century and furlons. in
o 80 seconds and 81 is seconds, he
caused no end of comment.
Barber has run the hundred in
9 4-5 seconds and the furlong in 81 ID
seconds. On the Coast the opinion
prevails that Barber will edge in on
the Eastern stars and probably win
first place in both events.
Capt. Bud" Albert Becker, whose
regime doesn't end until after the
championships, will run in both
hurdles. He is said to be a very
capable timber topper who should
worry both Moore of Penn State and
Wolf of Pennsylvania.
California did not score single
point in the running events last year.
but this year they figure on scoring
heavily in both the track and field
events.
