Weather Favorable

New York, July P>-Favorable winds, the essential factor in trans atlantic flying, will aid the Path finder as it wings it's way over the ocean towards Rome, Dr. James H. kimball of the New York weather bureau, said today.
 However, the plane must battle it's way through some fog along the coast and keep south of a dense bank until more than 1900 miles out. Rains and drizzles will be en- countered until beyond midocean.
 No General Storms
 There are no general storms on the Atlantic and the weather is fair near the European coast.
 Dr. kimball notified Pilot Roger Q. Williams and Navigator Lewis A Yancey at Old Orchard last night of the weather conditions, warning them to follow the 44st parallel which would keep them just south of the fog bank.

Well Known AyiatOrS

New York, July s (P-Roger Q. Williams and Lewis A. Yancey. who took off from Old Orchard for Rime tohay have been identified with sev- eral long distance and transatlantic flight projects.
 In 1922 Yancey was co-pilot with Steven Lacey in one of the entries in the New York-to-Spokane national air derby Shortly after their third attempt to start. Yancey pilloted the plane back to Roosevelt Field, x. Y, clinging to a strut with Lacey un- conscious in the cockpit from gaso- line fumes.
 Yancey was co-pilot with Lebou- tiller in a projected nonstop flight from Roosevelt Field to France Field, Canal Zone, in December, 1928. They were forced back after the plane had been in the air three minutes.
 Williams With ChamberIin Williams was associated with Clar- ence D. Chamberlin in 1927 in series of attempts to set a new en- durance flight record Their efforts were abandoned after they were forced down by ice on their third attempt.
 In March 1928 Cecare Sabelli, 1tal- ian war ace, announced Williams | had been chosen as co-pilot in the plane Roma on flight to Rome. 1 The American pilot withdrew from the project. then resumed relations with Sabelli.
 After Sabelli's plans failed to ma terialize, Williams announced plans in October. 1928, for a flight tc Rome in Charles A. Levine's mono plane Columbia with Pietro Bonellt another member of the Sabelli crew
 Columbia Crashed
 The Columbia crashed on the old Westbury golf links when Williams and Bonelli attempted to take off October Il. The flight was later abandoned for the rest of the year because of weather.
 Williams and Yancey joined forces early this spring to renew the New York to Rome flight attempt.
 Their first try made June 1S. the day the French plane Yellow Bird left Old Orchard, ended in a wreck when their plane, Green Flash. struck soft spot on the beach in the take off. A previous start also ended in failure when landing wheel drop ped off.
 After the wreck of the Green Flash, Williams and Yancey acquired the plane, North Star, which was purchased by Mrs. James A. Sullman a year ago for a proposed transat- ,lantic flight by the German avlatrlX Thea Rasche. They renamed 1t th' Pathfinder.

 Those bound for Mediterranean ports from New York include the California Edison, Providence, Min doro and Presidente Wilson.

remarka ble in view of the fact that the f1iers had made two false starts in their former plane, the Green Flash, under almost ideal To- cal weather conditions.
 Plane at Load Limit Before starting, Yancey pointed to the fact that the Pathfinder, weighing 3,200 pounds unloaded, was carrying exactly it's own weight He also emphasized the fact that it was considered impossible for plane to carry more than it's own weight and that the Pathfnd- CT therefore would be at the load | limit.
 One of the hundreds of specta- tors who witnessed the take-off was Thea Rasche, German aviatriX, whc arrived here by plane last night She said she was contemplating a flight of her own. but declined tc divulge details of her plans.

Canada Continues
To Supply Thrills
In Hockey Fights
Les Canadiens and Maroons in
Colorful Battle; Boston
Bruins Gaining

New York. Jan. l7.-(P)-The game
Of hockey is Of Canadian origin, and
Canada still supplies most Of the in
terest even In an organization like
the National Hockey league, where
six Of the ten teams represent cities
In the United States. Tonight's four
games are ample proof that the do
minion still holds its sway.
The two encounters that promise
the greatest amount of action and
have the most important bearing on
the standings involve three Canadian
teams, the MarOons and Canadiens
Of Montreal and the Toronto Maple
Leafs. The New York Americans
leaders Of the international group
complete the quartet.
The Maroons play on their home
rink against the Americans In an
endeavor to return to second place In
the division. from which the Canadi-
ems displaced them Tuesday by q one
point margin.
Les Canadiens have as great an in
centive to hand Toronto its fourth
straight defeat. A defeat tonight
while the Maroons won would return
them to the place they held last week
in tie with the Leafs for third place
A victory still would leave them two
points behind the group leaders.
In the American group the leading
Rangers expect an easy victory over
the Chicago Blackhawks, who have
won only four games this season.
The clash at Detroit between tn:
Cougars and the Boston Bruins, con.
tenders for second place in the Amer.
lean group. should be somewhat more
interesting. The Bruins moved out o.
tie for the position by defeating thu
Rangers for their seventh straight
victory.

tessional fight in Atlanta. II came Is
a gift from his acrobatic dad who
taught him to box and guided him
through successful gymnasium bouts.
PA had promised his son that on
his sixteenth birthday he would be
rewarded with his first real prize
fight.
Asked for Chance
The elder Stribling sought out late
Walk Miller, then budding fight
promoter in Atlanta, and asked for
a chance for his young son to do
some boxing.
Miller was reluctant. He wanted
the youngsters record and looked
askance on the few gymnasium Skin
mishes.
PA" Stribling made the desperate
suggestion that his son be placed on
Miller's next card tot nothing. Just
his expenses from Macon to Atlanta
and return-a few dollars" Pa asked.
THAT will be all we'll expect"
The eagerness Of the father made
an impression on Miller and he &C.
cepted the arrangement. The result
was that Stribling was matched for
four round bout with q rugged little
newsie, Kid Domb. Stribling won.
Again the boy offered to fight with
out recompense. Miller made another
arrangement whereby the youngster
was matched with Tim O'Dowd.
O'Dowd lasted for two minutes Of the
first round.
Still from Missouri
Still Miller was not sold on the
youngster and q third bout-without
remuneration-was agreed to by the
striblings. This time w. L. was
asked to defeat the rugged Kid Nap
pie, another Atlanta newsboy, who
knew something about smuggling. So
clever was the stribling defense and
so deceptive his attack that he out
pointed Maple in four rounds.
Successful In three matches with
nothing to show for it in the way Of
finances, Stribling and his dad de-
cided 1t was high time to demand
some pay. This time Miller proved
less adamant.
The remuneration, however. was
small In comparison to the nearly
$4,000 that the young Georgia heavy
weight will receive for his 10 rounds
with Sharkey. In building up to this
bout. w. L. has engaged in nearly CSC
fights.
His largest previous earning in q
single bout was ST. 500 which was hi.
