fore the fight fans today with the

none but sports writers privileged
to watch him prepare for his come

Jack will have the spotlight alone
here for fortnight as Tunney does
not plan to open his lake villa camp

now at Spectator, N. Y, the quar-

Twin Aces Move Fest
Baseball has no he ftier hitting pair
than Ruth and Gehrig nor has It any
pitching combinations who have been
flowing along at a faster clip this
season than the twin aces Of the Chi
cago staff.
Root. who has won 22 games for
the Cubs, and aims at making it 80
before the season is over, probably
would draw the opening worlds SER
les assignment, with Carlson the
choice for the second game. With q
days lapse for travel between Chi
cago and New York, it would be pos
'sible for Manager Joe Mccarthy to
shoot Root and Carlson back at the
Yankees for the third and fourth
games; all depending on what hap
pened in the first two.
Roots fast ball might not be d
effective against the Yankee sluggers
as Carlson's craftier slants. The
Yanks thrive on speed pitching but
Root has big assortment Of stuff
besides pace.

North Dakota expects to have one of

lines in the history of the school this
fall when the Flickertails hit the
heavy end of the 1927 grid schedule.
This is the first official informa-
ton on the prospects of the APP
preaching football season in the No
dak camp and it comes from Paul J..
Davis, veteran physical director and
line coach, who has just returned
from 1000 mile trip over the south
and east.
Davis says he is glad to get>back
and anxious to start work, for he
does not remember when he has had
better prospects for a line.
Approximately 80 men are eligible
for line positions and about half Of
them are experienced campaigners.
The coach says he can put veteran
in every position but that not more
than three or four are going to be
able to hold their jobs.
Four Centers
Davis had had trouble with his
centers for years, but this fall he
will have four, three of whom are
high class performers. Earl Benser.

BRITISH AND GERMAN
 PLIERS PREPARING
 ID SPAN ATLANTIC
FOUR DIFFERENT WESTWARD HOPS UNDER WAY BY EURO
 PEAN AVIATORS

LONDON, Aug. 1. (P)-Four at tempts to cross the Atlantic Ocean by airplane from east to west, two Brit ish and two Germans, are taking deti- nite shape.
 Apparently the first of the four will be that of Capt F. T. Courtney, Brit ish aviator, who plans 7,000-mile flight from London to New York and back. stopping each way at Newfound- land for fuel and establishing for the first time a tentative commercial air plane route. He has been in camp at Calsh0t, a suburb of Southampton.
 His route by stages will be from Calshot to Valencia, Ireland, dis tance of 48O miles, thence 1,7OO miles to St. Johns, Newfoundland, thence 1900 miles to New York, following the same route on the return.
 Captain Courtney will use a Dor nier all-metal flying boat propelled by two Napier Lion" engines, and will be accompanied by Flight Lieut.. F. w. NJ Downer as navigator, and E. F Lit tie as engineer.
 The other British attempt is con- templated by Lieut.. Col. F. F. Minchin of the British Imperial Airways and Leslie Hamilson, British air taxi owner. Capt. Robert H. Macintosh may be taken along as a passenger. The latter and Minchin have some 5000 hours of flying each to their credit and the two have carried nearly 17,O00 passengers across the English Channel without accident.
 The attempt will be made in lorg-range Fokker monoplane driven by a British Jupiter air-cooled engine. This expedition will take off from Lon don on a nonstop flight to Ottawa, Ont, where a stop will be made to refuel after which another take-off will be made to somewhere in Europe" ," The aviators will stay in the air as long as possible in hope of setting up a new long distance record.
 One German attempt is proposed by Lieut.. Otto Koennecke, 35-year- old
Seward daily gateway., 1927-08-01

German army officer, who intends to fly an all-metal monoplane carrying two passengers who are said to be financing the trip, and radio opera tor. It will be propelled by one Ba- yarian and two Wright motors.
 This venture is to be backed un- officially by the German government. It will start from Berlin and an at tempt to make a nonstop flight to New York will be made. and then to San Francisco. The southern route by way of the Azore Islands has ten tatively been selected.
 Koennecke will carry a long range radio set. His tanks will carry enough fuel for 70 hours and he ex- poets to attain a speed of 124 miles an hour Koennecke brought down 46 enemy airplanes during the war.
 The other German attempt is in the hands of Ernst Udet, German ace, who will fly specially constructed Rohr- bach plane having two high-power Ba- varian motors. His plane, now being constructed, is of the semi-hydroplane type. He will be accompanied by one expert aviator and one pilot His course has not been definitely decided lon. An influential industrialist is sponsoring the project.
 Udet is stunt aviator, and as a war ace brought down 62 enemy air planes. He is prominent in the new glider developments in Germany, hay ing flown a glider from Zugspitze, the highest point in Germany, for a long distance.
