club at his beck and call. prospects

job to keep him awake nights. Mr..
Higgins ought to be the happiest guy
in the world. But he isn't.
This will be the toughest season
Of my baseball career" MIR. Higgins
remarked gloomily as he dunked his
toast out of respect for his store
teeth. 1--WE got everything against
me. including the law of averages,
tradition and seven other ball
clubs"

frowned.

remarked bit darby. ut just

are"
But" we protested. "haven't YOU
got the best looking ball club you
ever managed?"
Yes, but"
And don't you figure you're at
least 10 per cent stronger than
last season."
Yes, but
well. then, what's the reason
for all the sadness and Sorrow
Mr.. Huggins grew graver
than usual. "There are
couple of things you forget to
figure" he quOth.
''In the first place the law of
averages is against u.s. No ball
club can go on forever. And don't
forget the depreciation in playing
strength either. A ball club Is like
an automobile. The further ii goes
the more the wear and tcar-and
sometime. some how. there's always
an end to the road" Mr.. Huggins
sighed again.
mo. sir" he continued. when
I say this is my toughest season
I mean it. I've got to win-and
there's no team in the history of
the league ever won four pennants
in row."
But let's forget the serious
Mr.. higgins for a moment. Deep
In his giz1ard he's pleased to
death with his prospects. He
fixes his club. He thinks they're
great.
But he's afraid Of that low of
averages stuff and he doesn't want
to grow overly optimistic now. and
then have to back up and retract
later.
Now that the winter visitors are
clearing out. a lot Of the home
folks are getting chance to en-
joy the ball games, and gosh. how
they like it. The Florida Cracker
likes to take his amusement sitting
down and baseball is his pet hobby,

DUNDALK FACTORY
GETS U. S. CONTRACTS
Berliner-Joyce Makes Four Planes
for Navy and Two for
Army.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 31.-In less
than three months after its organiza-
ton the Berliner-Joyce Aircraft Co.,
whose plant is located at Dundalk, has
been granted six military contracts.
Four contracts were from the Navy
and two from the Army. Among the
projects is the construction of a single
seat all-metal fighter for the Navy.
This plane, it is understood, will be a
definite advance in structure and per-
formance. There will be no interior
bracing and support. It will depend
solely on the Skin" or covering OF
metal for strength and rigidity.
The plane, it is said, will be faster
than any now used by the naval serv-
ice, and in addition will have phenome-
nal climbing ability.
Other Navy contracts include new
type of observation plane for use on
light cruisers, wooden pontoons and
wing floats and set of experimental
stainless steel floats or pontoons.
The two new pursuit planes being
built by Berliner-Joyce for the Army
have been hailed as outstanding mill
tary aircraft developments of the year.
In addition to the military program,
the company is starting production on
a new type of commercial plane.

truth, Il told you So"
"Aerostation" was the subject Of a
magazine sketch he wrote in 1891, when
he was senior in Central College,
Fayette, Mo- He took that title from
term for flying used as early as 1880
by an English balloonist.
Derision from his classmates greeted
the youth when his predictions were
published. He had the temerity to
foresee that airplanes would be invent
ed, that aluminium would be used in
their construction and that geographic
exploration would be conducted. even
in polar regions, by aerial navigation.

AMPH|B|AN GEAR
PUT ON SEAPLANES
Now Able to Fly From Ship
and Land on Deck, Sea
or Earth.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, August 31.-For
the first time In history, airplanes can
be catapulted from battleships and land
either on carrier deck, on the surface
of the sea or on the surface of the
earth.
This has been made possible by the
recent delivery to aircraft squadrons,
battle fleet, of several Wasp-powered
Vought Corsair seaplanes, used by the
Navy for observation and spotting of
gunfire.
These are the first seaplanes to be
equipped with amphibian gear. While
the Navy has two other types of am
phibians, those are flying boats. With
these planes pilots with the battleships
will not be forced to land on the sea
when the fleet is away from its base.
They now can wind down the wheels
and come to rest with the fighters and
bomberS aboard any of the three car
rierS.
Increases Cruising Range.
The development means also that
light Seaplanes can perform missions
requiring longer cruising ranges. Their
effectiveness as observation planes and
spoilers becomes at least doubled

Wasp engines.
The amphibian gear consists rather
simply in pair of wheels which can
be wound up or down at the pilots
pleasure. In taking off from a land
station or carrier the wheels are in the
down position. Once in the air the pilot
rolls them up high enough to clear the
water in event of water landing. This
he does manually.
