LINDbERGH HOPS
 OFF FOR FRANCE
(Continued from First Page)

The daring Missourian. who play a lone hand, had no one to show him the way as he hurled his Ryar monoplane the Spirit of St. Louis into the muggy air above Roosevelt Field few minutes before o'clock this morning.
 Five Narrow Escapes.
 The Flying Fool" as his friends affectionately call him, is on his way. Five times in the $500 fee, of the long run over which he sped in making his talked off, he was close to disaster, twice by inches At the very last as he was climbing before strengthening out for the start of his course leading north, his plane. weighed by a load of 5,150 pounds. barely cleared a string. of telegraph wires. A few seconds before it had almost struck a roadscraper as he was attempting to get off the ground.
 Three times the plane struck soft spots and bounded into the air. always coming back to earth and finally strengthening out after seconds of hesitation which seemed minutes to the anxious spectators fringing the flying field.
 or at Terrific Speed.
 The slightest slip would have been dire disaster, for Lindbergh knew he had no easy job in getting his plane off the ground and he increased his speed steadily as he tore down the runway. When he finally left the earth for the air he was literally the flying fool' he is often called.
 4lS Gallons of Gas.
 The plane carried 44S gallons of gasoline and the 25 year old avia- tor who believes that he travels the fastest who travels alone thought as he sped away that he could fly for 45 hours on that amount of fuel. He does not think that he will need 1t for he expects to land in Paris with no stops on the way in rot more than 36 hours.
 Lindbcrgh's departure followed an eleventh hour decision. He ap- parently had no thought early last night that the weather would per init him to essay the long jump across the Atlantic so soon.
 Is Up at 2:3O \. NJ.
 There was fog reported and the off Newfoundland was lower than he would have liked it had he been able to pick and choose his weather. When he retired shortly after II o'clock he expected to see the crowd watching him closely again today.
 He saw most of them only when he was attired in flying clothes and ready to defy the elements over a three thousand mile front. The wea- ther at midnight was more hopeful and it was decided that "Slim" would hop if the improvement kept up. He was up at 2:30 o'clock and was at his hangar in 45 minutes. The improvement in weather in the Atlantic was reported as hoped for but in the meantime rain began falling here.
 Finally Says "Let's Co.,"
 The unfavorable local weather again made the verdict a doubtful one. The rain did not last long and although a heavy mist hung over the field, the weather report was studied again and then Lind bergh suddenly said Lets go" to s. J. Stumpf. fellow guardsman and representative of the St. Louis group sponsoring the nonstop flight effort.

WANT SUNDAY TENNIS

An appeal may be made by ex- ponents of the pastime of tennis to the board of park commissioners, for a change in the ruling on Sunday tennis. At present the four tennis courts In Walnut Hill and the two in Willow Brook park remain idle on Sunday.
 Tennis players throughout the city feel that Sunday would be the best day available for the sport. since there are more daylight hours in which the game can be played. A petition will probably be circulat- ed among those in favor of the pro- ject with a view of influencing the park commissioners.

Wolfe Claims Deed.
Despite this. it is pointed out, Will

movers of the organization of the
newer fire organization, actually
holds the. deed in his possession and
claims jurisdiction over the house
Wolfe. 1t is alleged by Peterson
and Sengstack, further threatened
TO put paddock on the fire house.
1t was the latter declaration which
aided To spur the older flremen on
in their legal proceedings.
Since making the paddock threat,
IT is admitted, Wolfe and his organi-
cation members have absented them
selves from the fire house and held
meetings at various homes in the
heights. Another situation which
inks the old timers is that the newer
group Is holding a good deal OF
money in their trea sury and spend
ing none of it on fire apparatus.

Wolfe, a former captain in the orig

formed a new organization, but it is
conceded that BLACK -balling" policy
instituted by the first fire1ghters led
10 the schism. 1T was from men in
the community who were disgruntled
over certain black -balling procedures.
it Is said. that Wolfe won recruits and
gradually built up the new organiza
ton. Another fact which helped swell
the membership Of the latter body
was the adoption of a policy of taking
in women and children as members
The original company never had be-
lieved that the women and children
