NEW YORK, May p. R)-"The Spirit of st. Louis, Capt. Charles A. Lindbedgh's plane built especially for his New York to Paris nonstop trip, was designed for scientific fly ing.
 The little monoplanc, with a wing spread of 46 feet and a fuselage 2S feet long. has special instrument board upon which the former air mail pilot depended for guidance.
 With extra gasoline tanks and the instrument board, the total cost was about $15,000 The plane is powered with a Wright "whirlwind" J-2, 225 horsepower, nine cylinder, radial air cooled motor, similar to that used by Commander Richard F.

LENGLEN DID RIGHT IN
BECOMING PROFESSIONAL
No Reports Are Being Heard Along
the Riviera Over Detection of
Tennis Star.

Monte Carlo, Jan. P-Suzanne
Lenglen's detection from the ranks
of amateur tennis has not caused a
single murmur of protest along the
Riviera.
Leading club secretaries seem
agreed that 'Lenglcn did the right
thing at the right time They gen.
orally believe she was at the top of
her form last season and that an
other two years would have seen
her fighting hard to keep her title.
IF Suzanne can come home and
retire in 1928 with an income of
5000 a year, there is no one who
would question her move one said.
The difficulties regarding amateur
standing, however. are seriously
bothering the Riviera tennis world.
Following the sensational disclosures
of last year relative to tennis balls,
hotel reservations, and the ease with
which the mon pay pass key to the
city" was handed to tennis stars
who drew a crowd, the lines have
been considerably frightened.
The Riviera tennis world looks on
all this as distasteful and a COM
mittee is working overtime to check
M on the activities of the various
players in order to avoid any fur

beaten the old time champions un-

of American pugilism had any

war map to include Jack Delaney
today before boarding train for st.

fight next fall.
A course to reconciliation between
the promoter and the worlds light
heavyweight champion appeared to
have been opened after a conference
yesterday in which Pete Reilly, man
ager of Delaney, met Richard for
the first time since their split last
spring. Reilly admitted he Lad
given his consent for Delaney to
fight either Jack Delaney or Tun-
ney.
Bouts for Delaney with Paul Ber-
lenbach, Jack Sharkey, Paolino Uz-
cudun and Jimmy Maloney, among
others, also were discussed, but
Reilly objected to Delaney's partici-
patton in Richards heavyweight
elimination tournament. He con-
tended that Delaney already had
qualified for either Dempsey or Tun-
ney by his quick knockout triumph
over Bud German.
II signed no binding document,
and l told Richard I wanted De-
laney TO fight Dempsey early rext
summer" said Reilly. "Tunney as
we'll as Richard wants the man who

a contract under which he will agree
to meet any opponent selected by
Richard. The date will be named

Rsberg said the money was for

Detroit victory over Boston was a
