, Golden Eagle or the Miss Doran with
their crews aboard Eichwaldt is to
radio the latitude and longitude posi-
ton to the nearest ship or land
stations. There was some doubt here
today whether there were any vessels
on the Pacific who could hear the
short wave set and navy officials
tried yesterday to get Erwin to sub
Stitute the 1871 meter outfit for q
regulation 600 meter transmitter. This
he declined to do because of the
time it would take to make the
installation.
Erwin's course as mapped is a
dangerous and difficlt one, local
athoritieS agreed, because in swinging
off the great cicrle he would isolate
himself from rescue ships. Should
he be forced down onto the sea,
the best he and Eichwaldt could do
would be to radio their position before
striking the water before the trailing
antenna is grounded by the sea and
rendered useless.
The volunteer fliers declared today
they planned no need for emergency
rations. Their food and water supply
consisted of 26 chicken, ham and beef
sandwiches, nine quarts of water, two
bottles of coffee. Nothing else.
They carried rubber life raft and
a signal pistol with which to attract
attention of ships at night.
The gasoline capacity of the Dallas
Spirit is 480 gallons, and the tanks
were filed to the top before the

Equipped with hastily installed

United States navy which has had

along it's predetermined course 140
miles north of the great circle to its

circle, along which the biplane Miss
Doran and the monoplane Golden
Eagle were supposed to have been
lost in the Dole air race to Homo
lulu.
Linden said that several wireless
operators aboard licensed 800 meter
ships carried short wave length sets
but he did not believe the report
could have originated from SUCH
sources.
He expressed the belief however
that the message might have come
from amateur stations in some re-
mote spot on the Hawaiian island
group. A SO watt station might easily
transmit messages from the Hawaiian
islands, Samoa or Australia, he said.
He admitted there was little likelihood
that signs of the missing planes would
be found in the south seas.
The so watt, 1871 meter set aboard
the Dallas Spirit which was tonight
speeding across the Pacific from
Oakland, Calf, to Honolulu in search
of Miss Mildred Doran, John A. Ped
lar, Lieut.. Villas R. Knope, Jack
Frost and Gordon Scott, probably
will be heard by amateur stations
along the continental Pacific coast
up to the time the plane strikes
midway point to the islands, Linden
said. From there on amateur sets on
the Hawaiian islands may be able to
hear A. H. Eichwaldt navigator
aboard the Dallas Spirit,
1t was later learned that although
there were supposed to be no COM
mercial ships on the Pacific working
short wave radio sets practically all
of the navy vessels from San Fran
cisco, San Diego and Honolulu to
hunt for the missing fliers carried
short wave sets in addition to their
regular 600 meter sets. This would
enable them to hear messages from
the Dallas Spirit.
Leroy was certain that the message
was not a hoax and that, if authen-
tic it was being relayed from one
ship to another at sea. 1t came from
within 1000 miles of the Pacific
coast in his opinion.
Acquaintance in Alhambra de-
clared that Leroy had reputation
for radio ability and reliability. He,
himself, said that his experience in
the radio field was wide and that he
regularly picked up stations as far
distant as Australia.

MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, OAKLAND,
Cal, Aug. 19 t9-Roaring out through
the Golden Gate into fog banks at
100 miles an hour, the monoplane
Dallas Spirit, piloted by Captain Will
liam Erwin, of Dallas, Texas, and
navigated by A. H. EichWaldt, of
Alameda, Cal, started today on it's
flight toward Honolulu in search of
the missing crews of the Dole racers,
Golden Eagle and the Miss Doran.
The Dallas Spirit took off from the
Oakland municipal airport at 2:15
2. m. without mishap. 1t lifted its
$500 pounds of gasoline, metal, cloth
and men slowly at first and then
pulled up to an altitude of 1,7OO feet,
hitting along at 100 miles per hour
as it passed over the Golden Gate.
AS the ship struck the San Fran.
cisco waterfront EichWaldt started
sending out messages on his 33.1
meter radio set, with which the plane
was equipped especially for the res
cue flight.
Between $4,000 and 10000 people
witnessed the take off OF the Dallas
Spirit AS the plane left the ground
q mighty cheer rose and the specta-
tors waved their hands as goodbye,
God bless you cheer for the intrepid
airmen.

Of the plane, their searchlights play
ing over the water in an effort to
get glimpse of the Dallas Spirit
in the darkness.
The deStroyers steaming to the
rescue were part of a squadron of
seven dispatched from San Francisco
yesterday to aid in the search for
the missing planes, Miss Doran and
Golden Eagle.
H. L. Burross, division marine
superintendent of the radio corpora
ton, issued a statement, saying that
II the Erwin plane was forced down
at sea approximately Is ships on or
near the great circle route would be
cognizant- Of the fact in less than
five minutes 1t would be but a
matter OF moments, he said, before
the nearest vessels would be speeding
to the rescue.
The manner in which the final
message was sent indicated the full
seriousness of the situation the Dal-
las Spirit faced.
Navigator Eichwaldt mad been
sending slowly, repeating each word
when he broke the continuity of his
sentence and with sudden burst of
speed he flashed 1--WE are in a tail

the experience of Ernie Smith, pilot
and Emory Bronte, navigator, on
aerial cruise to Honolulu recently
was recalled. After they had flashed
and SOS message indicating they were
going into the sea, their radio set
went dead due to the loss of the
antenna, but they were able to reach
an island in the Hawaiian group as
their gasoline supply became ex-
hausted.
When notified that the steamship
Maui was 253 miles southwest of the
Dallas Spirit, Captain G. W. Saunders,
operating manager of the MatSon line,
said he believed that naval vessels
would be first to reach the Dallas
Spirit, due to their ability to make
greater speed.
AS soon as the distress was indicat.
ed by the Dallas Spirit, the steamer
West Prospect, bound from San Fran
cisco to Dairen, Manchuria, radiocast
her position as $50 miles north or
the Dalla" Spirit. 1t would take the
vessel so hours to reach the Dallas
Spirit, its master, Ned Scorah, said.
Ed Blum chief mechanic for the
Dallas Spirit and an experienced flier,
said tonight that freak air currents
out over the Pacific were undoubtedly
the cause for forcing Erwin's plane
into tail spin.
"Jenatn went into tail spin and
Ernie Smith also experienced one
while en- route to Honolulu" Blum
said, $50 it must be an air condition
that exists out there that we know
nothing about"
Radio experts pointed out that the
instrument board on the Dallas Spirit
was illuminated by power supply
from a storage battery. This battery
also supplied the current for the
transmitting tube filament. The last

Lively Ball in Golf.
I see where Bobby Jones has come
out for a standardized ball in golf

Which makes it seem that golf has
it's lively ball as well as the dia-

Unquestionably there is thrill
to a long drive from the tee such
as comes from no other shot in golf.
To get distance, it seems dynamite
has been added to the golf ball as
well rs baseball.
It strikes me that the suggestion
as made by Jones is an excellent
one for major tournament play, but

The Home Run Parks.
Despite a certain popularity that
still goes with the home run, the
powers that be in baseball must
sooner or later reach the conclusion
that the ball now in use is too live
ly, at least for some of the cigar
box parks in the majors
If all the parks had exactly the
same size playing fields and the
home run distance was 300 feet OF
more, then I would offer no object
ion. to the lively ball now in use.
On the larger parks there wouldn't
be SO much wild swinging, particu-
larly on the part of the batters noted
for getting distance. More territory
for the outfielders to roam would
make at least, so per cent of the
players go back to smart baseball.
Ruth's ability to outshine all others
at making home runs has been a
magnet, but if suddenly a number
of players able to equal or better
Ruth's deeds come forth as did Geh-
rig this year, the home run will have
lost it's Ruthian glamour and much
of it's kick
