FORMER STEERAGE PASSEN. GERS FLY BACK HOME.

HARBORGRACE.- men who came to America as steerage passen- gers, entering the United States by way of Ellis Island, were far out over the North Atlantic tonight, winging toward their homeland. The second pair of air adventurers to, leave this port in 25 hours-Otto Hillig, who migrated from Germany 40 years ago, and Holger Hoiliss, who left Denmark seven years ago-took off at 2:24 a. m. today for Copenhagen, which they hoped to reach in 28 hours. From Copenhagen they planned to fly on to Hillig's birth place in Germany. They called their trip joy ride.
 BREMEN.-Hi..'ig ig and Hoiris, the second pair of transatlantic fliers to land in Germany in two days, landed here at 9:39 o'clock tonight, 240 miles short of Copenhagen, the goal of their flight. Across the ocean they were utterly exhausted, and Hoiris was on the verge of collapse from the strain of keeping, the ship aloft for 32 hours and more. The fliery re- lated to airport officers how. they had come through the w.rst weather inn aginable coming across. the ocean, flying not more than 12 feet above the clouds for long stretches.
 Through a break in the heavy clouds Hillig and Hoiris sighted land, which they took to be Spain, and kept on across France in good weather, spotting the landing field at Bremen just in time. Their speed averaged better than 100 miles an hour all the way.

SAYS NAVY CONVOY SYSTEM WON THE WAR AT SEA.

WON THE WAR AT SEA.
 LONDON.-Doubt that the British fleet toward the end of the war could have met the German fleet on terms of equality is expressed in the final volume of the official history of the naval operations of the great war, published today. The volume records that the admiral of the fleet. Earl Beatty, told the naval conference it no longer was desirable to produce fleet action similar to the battle of Jutland. He felt that was because the British fleet was busy fighting the submarine menace and patrolling conveys. Sir Henry Nebolt, naval historian, who wrote the final volume, says that the navy convoy system won the war at sea.

Davis and
Ruth Lead
Babe Holds Slight Edge on
Simmons in Official
A. L. Averages.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press staff Correspondent

NE WORK, Sept. 12.-Having
regained batting leadership in the
American and National Leagues
respectively, Babe Ruth, Yankees
outfielder, and Virgil Davis, Phillies
catcher, now hope to thwart Al
Simmons, Athletics outfelder, and
Billy Terry, Giants first baseman,
in their attempts to win two success
sive major league batting champion
ships.
Ruth and Davis, leaders for
practically the entire season, surn
rendered their top berths recently
to Simmons and Terry, respectively,
but official statistics issued today
and including games of Thursday,
Sept. 10, show them back on top.
Holds Slight Edge
Ruth tops the American League
with percentage Of 1904, with
Simmons fraction of a point be-
hind at 1901. No other player ap-
pears to have chance to pass the
leaders, Morgan of Cleveland and
Gehrig of New York holding third
and fourth places with 1855 and 1854
respectively.
Davis has two close rivals for
honors, his average of .3434 being
only fraction better than the .3430
compiled by his teammate, Chuck
Klein. Terry, 1880 champion, and
last weeks leader is third with .342.
Gehrig. Klein Shine
Lou Gehrig, Yankees first base
man, and Klein have a virtual
monopoly on individual honors,
Gehrig leading the American
League in four offensive depart
ments and Klein topping the Ma
tional in three, as follows:

hide, Koenecke sparkled in the fieI
tacular running catches.
Campbell Goes Route
Archie Campbell went the route
on the Tribe mound and was OPP
posed by Heise, Littlejohn and
Eckert. Campbell was off on con-
troll, walking six men, but good
support would have held down
the Columbus score. The Tribe in
field committed three miscues and
in the seventh Crawford cleaned
the sacks with a fiuke double that
was short fly between Koenecke
and Goldman.
1t took ninth-inning rally to
win for the Tribesmen, the score
being knotted at and at the
end of the eighth. Bedore led off
the last frame with single,
Walker sacrificed and Koenecke
scored Bedore with a one-base
knock. Fitzgerald was tossed out,
but Sigafoos followed him with a
single, counting Koenecke.
KOenecke Shares Drive
The Birds made threat in their
half of the ninth, aided by an err
ror. After two down, Crawford
reached first on Goldman's tumble
and dashed to third on Narlesky's
single. On a short passed ball
Narlesky took second, Crawford
holding third. Boil met the ball on
the nose for a drive to left, but
Koenecke came through with a
running catch, ending the game.
The Indians touched off the days
scoring in the first stanza when
Koenecke smacked the ball over the
right field fence, crossing the plate
behind Goldman. Kroner's double
in the fourth tailed Sigafoos and
in the fifth Walker drew pass
and Koenecke tripled.
Golman, first up in the seventh,
reached first on a walk and Bedore
was struck by pitched ball. Walk
er sacrificed and Koenecke scored
Goldman with long fly, Bedore
taking third, whence he scored on
Narlesky's tumble of Fitzgerald'S
hopper.
