LITTLE HOPE IS FELT FOR LOST DOLE PLIERS
(Cortinued from First Page)
extended over water flights.

extended over water flights. Wyatt discounted talk of defects in the three lost planes. saying the Golden Eagle was the last word in plane construction and that the Miss Doran had passed all tests success fully. The Miss Doran had motor trouble, and came back, only to at tempt the flight again." Wyatt con- tinued. T believe the plane was forced down in the first four hours from redevelopment of theeoriginal motor trouble. The fliers were ad- vised not to try it again, and should have remained to test the new spark plugs.
 Meanwhile no tangible clew to the fate of the seven missing flers has been found. The Miss Doran car- ried Miss Mildred Doran. woman passenger, Auggy Pedlar. pilot, and Villas knope, navigator. On the Golden Eagle were Jack Frost and Gordon Scott, and on the Dallas Spirit. which was lost while In search of other two. were Captain William Erwin, pilot and Al Eich- waldt, navigator.
 Hunt Extended
 Extension was given as the result iof the disappearance Of the Dallas Spirit, piloted by Captain William Erwin of Dallas, Tex. and navigated by A. H. Eichwaldt of Hayward, Cal, which apparently dived into the sea nearly 700 miles west of San Francisco Friday night after fash ing an sos. call on its radio.
 Secretary Wilbur said that the president had some power regarding the regulation of flights but said he was not sure that this was sufficient to cover the situation. He declared it was inevitable that some action will be taken Ito prevent needless loss of life"
 That navy men conducting the hunt for the missing men in the Dal- las Spirit held little hope for their rescue was reflected by Lieutenant Commander William C. Tooze of the destroyer Hazelwood. who said:
 No Clue to Fate
 "I do not think there is one chance in a thousand that the Dallas Spirit will ever be found. The Hazelwood, in command of Commander E. H. Connor, covered an area of 3,o00 square miles about point where she gave us her last position and in that space there was not piece of flot- sam-not even an oil spot"
 Reports from Honolulu bore no more hope. The Associated Press at the island head quarters declared another day pass ed without developments in search for the Dole flyers
 Sampans (Japanese fishing boats) were all being checked upon their return to the island in an effort to find at least one that might have sighted a bit of wreckase or some sign of the missing flyers, Jack Frost and Gordon Scott, of the Golden Eagle; Miss Mildred Doran, John "Auggy" Pedlar and Lieutenant Vii las R. Knope fthe biplane Miss Doran, while from mid Pacific was awaited word from the vessels searching for the Dallas Spirit crew in hopes that possibly Captain Erwin and his navigator. Eichwaldt, might have escaped from the "tail spin they told of by radio and were float inr safely aboard their life raft.

To Show Bodies

] Boston, Aug. 2S P-The bodies of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Nanzetti are to be taken in specially 1constructed caskets through the cities of the east. This was an nounced by the Sacco-Nanzetti se- fense committee today.
 First they are to lie in state at the committee headquarters on Han over street in the north end Of this city. Wien this will be, the com- mittee was unable ito say at noon, as they had not been informed al that time when the bodies would be turned over to them by Medical Examiner Magrath. The vlslts to various cities might extend as far as Chicago. it was added.
 The body of Celestino Madeiros, who was executed with them at the state prison early today. will be de- liyered to a New Bedford under taker. This is at the request of his mother.
 The Charlestown district and all other parts of Boston were qulet to- day. An echo of the last minute demonstrations in sympathy "llh Sacco and Nanzetti came with the arraignment in the municipal court of nickets arrested in front of the state house.
 Mrs Glendower Evans, who has been active in the -Nanzetu defense. said today that death masks would be made Of both men and many copies distributed. She visited the northern mortuary. where the bodies were taken from the state prison, but Medical Examiner Ma crath said he was too busy at that hour 10 admit her or her compan- ion, William Gropper, a New 1ork artist.
 Habeas Corpus Denied
 Petitions for writs of habeas corpus had been denied by Justice Oliver Wendell Homes of the su- preme court and Federal Judge James A. Lowell.
 All those defeats had come in rapid succession on the closing day. Fifteen other legal moves had been made by the defense during the last days of the remarkable but futile fight to save the humble Italians from death.

ton and Philadelphia, cellar rivals,
waged stubborn warfare today, the
seventh-place Braves winning in the
tenth inning by IL to II over the last
place Phillies. The game was the only
one carded in the major leagues for
the day and enough hits were made
for several ball games. Boston made
II and Philadelphia Is.
Jackques Fournier, Boston first base
man, and Jimmy Wilson, Philadelphia
catcher, knocked home runs, while
Richbourg and Urban of the Braves
and Sand and Wrightstone of the
Phillies each pummeled the leather
for three hits. Making four runs in
the eighth, the visitors tied. the count
and won in the tenth on pinch hit
single by Jack Smith which scored
little Andy High. Philadelphia used
three pitchers, including Jack Scott
who pitched one ball, saw it driven to

Copper League Team
Will Meet the Army
Wednesday Afternoon

THE Copper league team of Bisbee
will play the first battalion 25th in
fantry baseball team tomorrow at 4
o'clock on the Tenth street park
grounds in what promises to be
real treat in the way of ball game.
me army team has some clever
players and can hit the ball hard and
consistently so the Copper leaguers
will find stiff opposition when they
come here for the game Wednesday
at 4 p. m.
The infantry pitchers will be put to
a severe test if they succeed in silenc-
ing the heavy artillery of the Bisbee
team. Dyer, Miller, Tilton, Belk,
Allison, Kitterman and Clary are all
seasoned veterans and can be depend
ed upon to hit when runners are on
the paths. There is not weak place
on the Bisbee lineup and it will take
some real twirling to keep the score
low.
The infantry lineup has won all its
games this season but has not been
crowded for a decision and hence do
not know their defensive power. The
inner ueienSe with Clark, Riley and
Finney and Ragland is plenty good to
stop anything that follows along the
ground and the outfield can cover
enough territory to bother most hitters.
The army team has a real receiver
and his throwing to bases is deadly
to those trying to pilfer sacks.
Bird, infantry moundsman, is re-
-puted to be in fine fettle and expects
TO stand the Copper Ieaouers on their
ear trying to discover. what he has on
the horsehide.
A large crowd of town people will
be attracted to this game as it is the
first appearance of the Bisbee team
here this season. The record of the
army team has boosted baseball in
this section and local fans are predict
ing close game. A nominal charge
will be made at the gate. The game
starts at 4 p. m. Il
Manager allison of the Bisbee team
has made no definite pitching selec-
ton, but he has Duffy, TolSon, Nc
Cormack, Davenport from which to
draw
"Jube" Davenport, who was recently
released from the Chicago White SoX
will in all probability be the pitching
selection as he has rested sufficiently
! from his last start against Ell Paso
Davenport is returning to form and
| has very deceptive curve ball that

sons.

visibility of organizing this group OF
young men into club for the pur-
pose of providing an all round four
fold program. 1t was pointed out that
for the older boy or young man, out
of high school and working, there is
lack of social activities and club
life To meet this need it was sug-
