changes in the Washington coaching
staff weer to be made, thereby down
ing the rumor that AL Schacht. who
had been with the Nationals several
seasons. would not return. Al will be
back to do his comedy stuff with Nick
Altrock as well as attend to the more
serious business of coaching at third
base.
= According to Griffith, Milan has
been procured as coach at the request
of Manager Stanley Harris. The Ma
tionals' pilot regards highly Zeb's
knowledge of base ball and his ability
to train young players.
The new coach has had consider
able experience as player and mana
ger in organized base ball. Zeb
who will be ~ years old next March
5, came up to the Nationals from the
Wichita club of the Western Associa.
tion in 1907, the same year that Wal
ter Johnson came out of the West to
Washington. Milan arrived here
about a month later than Johnson.
He had had couple of seasons of
play in the minors before reporting
in this city, having been a member of
the Clarkesville club of the North
Texas League, and the McAllister and
Shawnee clubs of the Oklahoma State
League, before playing with Wichita.
Milan went into the Washington
outfield as soon as he landed with the
club and for Is seasons thereafter was
a regular. While never a consistent
slugger, his general batting average
during his long term here was good
and in several seasons he scared well
above the 800 mark with the bat.
Pilot Here Il 1922.
In 1922, Zeb succeeded George Nc.
Bride as manager of the Nationals
and held the position throughout the
season. Released the following Win.
ter, he became pilot Of the New Haven
club of the Eastern League for a
year, then went into the Southern
Association as manager of the Mem
phis club, which position he held until
the end of the past season.
During most of his seasons with the
Washington club, Milan was noted as
one of the best baserunners in base
ball. In 1912. he led the major leagues
as base-stealer, pilfering SS bases.
Teams Milan has piloted in recent
years have been smart performers on
the paths, and it is thought he will be
able to improve the baserunning of the
Nationals. Milan also has done re-
markably well at developing young
pitchers and outfielders as manager
and both President Grffith and Man
ager Harris believe he will be a
mighty handy man around their club.

 ace and a. wealthy count set off from
 Hamburg in Caspar biplane on a
 transatlantic flight to America.
 Otto Koennecke, pilot, and Count Georg Friedrick Solms-Laubach, his wealthy packer and companion on the flight, will attempt to show by an At lantic crossing that flying over the ocean is safe and practical, and they will fly along the route which they be- lieve transatlantic planes will take when ocean flying becomes a common mode of travel
 Their route will take them from Hamburg to the Azores, and thence to Halifax, Cape Race or the Bermudas.
 Koennecke won his spurs as flyer during the war, bringing down 42 ene- my planes as a German pilot, during a meteoric career from private to lieu tenant. Now he is chief pilot for the IEufthansa, German airways corpora tion, and the task of flying has be- come daily routine to him through commercial flying over continental Europe, to Turkey and Mesopotamia and to the British Isles

 Only 28, he is one of the youngest heads of noble families in Germany. Until he projected the Atlantic flight, the counts aviation experience had been limited to that of military observer on the Russion front during the world war, but when he began plans for an ocean air venture he took course in flying near Berlin, specia- lizing in radio study in order to take charge of the radio equipment with which the pair of flyers hope to be in constant communicatioa, throughout their voyage, with a radio station on each side of the Atlantic
 The count, too, is married and has three children-a girl of two, and twin boys a year old. His wife is the 22- year-old Princess Johanna Marie.
