Only one nation has granted even
seriofffcial recognition 10 the Santa

1909 Montgomery was told in letters
from Prince Hugo Deitrickstein and
Brig. Gen. Leopold Schleyer Of Aus

Austrian government had decided he
should be placed ahead Of Otto I.ilen-

aerial navigation.

Montgomery first flew successfully
in glider at San Diego IN 1884. He
believed equilibrium and control to be
the important problems OF flying and
devoted his time to these instead of to
motive power. He built three man.
carrying planes before 1893, and his
kin declare that he demonstrated the
principles of flying 10 years before
Chanute or Langley and Is years be-
fore the Wright brothers.

For six innings yesterday it seemed
the local aggregation would score a

the Tigers then f1ared up and staged
a four-rUn rally, a homer by Heinie
Manush while Lu Blue was perched
on the middle sack accounting for the
tying and decisive tallies.
The Nationals had a great chance
10 pull the game out of the fire after
that. In their eighth batting turn,
they employed deal Of strategy and
finally had runners at third and Sec
