Have Difficulty Refueling

HAVE DuLkCuIty ucluciuhB
just before the Angeleno landed
there was considerable difficulty in
attempting to establish a contact
between it and the refueling plane.
The planes passed almost out OF
sight over the ocean and then came
back to the field and landed.
The Angeleno was surrounded
Immediately by field attendants
and newspapermen. Police lines
strained to hold back spectators.
In remaining in the air for more
than 346 hours. Reinhart and Men
dell exceeded by more than "
hours the mark of 174 hours and
SO seconds established in Cleveland
Saturday, July s. by Roy Michel
and Byron Newcomb.
When the flyers stepped from the
plane they were covered with grease
and whiskers. Both were tempor-
arily deaf from the continual
rumble of the motor of the An
geleno for more than 10 days and
ten nights.
Took to Air July 2
Mendell and Reinhart first took
to the air on July 2 at 7:29:3O
am.
At that time little Importance
was attached to their flight since
neither of the flyers was we'll
known and since their craft was
a re-conditioned craft.
For the first three days aloft
the pair was taciturn and had lit
tie to say.
Later as they ran into better
weather they became optimistic.
They became even more confident
after they broke the worlds record
AS late as noon today Mendell
and Reinhart expressed the opin-
ion that they could and would re-
main In the air until they passed
the 800 mark, feat that would
have carried them in continuous
flight until Sunday night.
The confusion around the An
geleno made it difficult TO get ac-
curate information as to the reason
for their landing. Deaf from the
motor noise and with the addition
al disturbance made by cheering
thousands the flyers were unable
to understand questions addressed
to them
BY 1890 am when the Angeleno
passed its 243rd hour of continuous
flight spectators at the field had
increased to 5000.
Governor c. C. Young of Cali
fornia was among the visitors and
issued short statement commend
ing Mendell and Reinhart
ION behalf of the state of Cali
fornia," he said, II wish to con-
gratulate these boys for their mar
velous feat. hope they can STAY
up and make such record that it
will be held by California for years
to come"
The Governor said he would like
10 greet the flyers personally. but
that he didn't wish to remain al
the airport for a week or So"

WORLD SERIES TICKETS
 SOLD OUT IN ONE DAY
Impossible to Consider Any Further Applications for Seats in
 Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Sept. 17 (P-It Ie- cuired only one short working day for the Philadelphia Athletics to dis pose of all their tickets for the world series game here with the Chicago Cubs.
 We are sold out for the scrIes. 1t will be impossible to consider any further applications for seats,' was the word given out today by club officials.
 The club had announced that be- ginning yesterday at 12:01 d, m, mail requests for reservations would be received Immediately after that hour thousands of fans dropped let lers into the mails. The orders were in such volume that the club en- gagged a clerical force of S5 men and women and rented a nearby vacant factory to handle the business.
 Alter more than 35,00O letters had been received, most of them re- Questing two tickets, the maximum 10 be allotted to one person, the club lost interest as the capacity oi Shibe park already was far over subscribed. The reserved seat ca. pacity of the park is less than ST.. OO0. During the day it was csti- mated that requests were received for approximately 75,O0O tickets.

Chicago, Sept. r P-The boxing titles vested in Sammy Mandell. Mickey Walker and Andre Routis, today were in jeopardy-not from seeking fists, but of being taken away by the National Boxing assoc- ation.
 The association, in convention here, yesterday put the cases of Mandcll, world lightweight titlehol- der; Walker, holder of the world middleweight pionship, and Routis, featherweight ruler, in the hands of the championship com mittee.
 It was expected that Walkers title would be declared vacant. Eddie Kane, Mandell's manager, was to appear on behalf of the Rockford sharpshooter. The com mission contended that none of the three has defended his title against satisfactory opponents during the last six months. However, in rating Tony Canzoneri, who Mandell de- feated in his last championship de fenSe battle, as number two among the lightweights of the world, the commission indicated Mandell would be given another chance.
 It also was indicated that Routis would retain his title for the pres cnt. The commission recognized Bat Battalino, Hartford, Conn.,, as log ical contender for the featherweight title, and Routis will meet him in a 15-round championship bout at Hartford on September 23. Paul Prehn, president of the N. B. A., said he would not be candi- Idate for reelection unless drafted by the delegates. With Prehn out, Ed Poster of Rhode Island, chairman of the championship committee, and Stanley Isaacs of Cincinnati, were regarded as the outstanding candi- dates.

and off he has been champion or runner-up since those early days.
 A finished golfer, with a compact style of making that sets him apart from his competitors, SWecn- ey is out for championship honors again. He is playing close 10 par in his practice rounds and his old time form appears to have returned,
 Probably no one at Shuttle Mea- dow is quite as experienced in tour nament play as Bill. Several times he has been strong contender Tn the state championship and he has collection of trophies which he has won in journeys around the state and in other sections of the coun- try.
 These days he is not dcvoting much time to golf but, by his week end play during the past month, he has served notice that it will be diff ticult to keep him out of the finals this fall. He has his name on the silver platter and intends 10 get lt there again.
 Last September, Ted Hart beat him 2-1. That was d tough match but if the two meet again next week the champs hopes of repeating may end before the finals. Whatever the outcome of the tournament, 1t Will be surprising if Sweeney does not let loose some great golf He has every shot in the bag and a wealth of experience in match play.

STUDIES HINDER
 FOOTBALL PLANS
Strict Scholastic Requirements
 Are Bars to Grid Candidates

Ithaca, N. Y. Sept. r (P}-Any chance Cornell may have of lifting her football teams from the medioc- rity of the past few seasons 10 the commanding position of old Big Red" teams rests entirely with the faculty of the university on the hill- top, in the opinion of Gilmore Dobie.
 AM l can do," says the tall lean veteran head coach, "is turn out football teams from material that for the most part hasn't even the ability to be mediocre. Two-thirds of the student body have all they can do to master the problems of en- gincering, let alone football,
 "The only relief for Cornell foot ball can come through the faculty. l have no fault 10 find with the high traditions and rigid scholastic re- quirements of Cornell, but there is nothing l can do about the Situa- ton until something is done about the burdens and bars on football men.
 With one more back and good ends I'd have done better last fall instead of losing to Princeton, Dart mouth and Pennsylvania. There Is little chance for improvement un- less I develop these men this year Cornell hasn't had a real good back since George Pfann, Eddie kaw and Cassidy.
 ' Material is plentiful but lacking in football players. The number Of freshman prospects who never rcach the varsity because of studies is surprising. Most of my teams are built of former freshman subsu- tutes. They are slow, l@ck football instinct. We couldn't stop PennS passing attacks last fall because we couldn't get to the ball carriers fast enough, not because we didn't know passes were coming and where.'
 There is nothing in the appear ance of Cornells squad to belittle Dobie's statements. He has many men but few outstanding. From last seasons line, the strongest part CT the eleven. he has lost by Rradua- ton all regulars but Sam Wakeman' ITO pound captain and tackle. The most hopeful part of the situation is a fair grade of sophomore mater ial and a better class of freshmen for next fall. The graduate "com- mittec of IT" organized to find out what was wrong with Cornell foot ball. has not yet reported publicly.
 The Cornell backfcld should show considerable improvement. Howard Johnson of Charleston, w. Va. is veteran quarterback, rugged. full of fight and a good passcr. Cornlsh' guard with last years freshmen may be a find at fullback along with Stevens, sophomore halfback, Davies, another promising youngster; Scott Pasquelicchio, Hoffman, Mercy and Maurice Johnson are vet eranS.

Associated Press Staff Writer)
 Philadelphia, Sept. Y CP)-HIi Tennyson lived in the days of Con- nie Mack he could have applied the words of his song of the brook flor men may come and mon may go but I go on forevcr,' 10 the tall and slender tutor of the Philadelphia Athletics.
 No manager in baseball has been the directing head of a team as long as the Philadelphian, nor has any manager been the guiding genius Of one team as long as this master of the national game.
 Only little more than three years short of the Biblical three score and ten, this veteran of the ball and bat keeps everlastingly at it, developing finished ball players from the raw material, worrying other managers, and winning pen nants.
 Connie Mack, whose name was whittled down from Cornelius Me Gillicuddy by the hard working sports writers in the dawn of mod = ern baseball, will be 67 years old in December. He has no thought O. quitting the game. Every once in a while he is asked when he is going to retire and replies he has no pres ent intention of so doing. Recently he said he would leave the bench only when his health fails and the"c is no present sign of such an unfor- tunate happening.
 The master builder of ball teams has been managing players since 1894, a stretch of thirty-ive years In the last 29 years he has piloted seven teams to the American leagu1 championship and three world $ series titles. His teams have been the runner up six times.
 It is his greatest ambition tc again win the baseball classic. He has the best aggregation of ba; players he has handled in Is years and while he does not boast that il is a world beater there is reason tc believe that he thinks he will agair sit on the top of the baseball world
 Connie Mack, as is well known il | baseball, is a different type of man. ager from the general run of tcan directors.
 He is mild hammered, but firm ! He never "baWls' out player un necessarily in the presence of oth CTS for some misplay, but manages 10 convey his displcasurc withou woundns the feelings Of the man | His voice is never heard on tn, field, nor is he seen in open protes against the judgment of the um
 pres. He is for clean baseball am
 his teams have always borne goo; l regulations for gentlcmanly con
 duct on the field.
