STATION, Va, January THE sleek
white monoplane Tradewind, carrying
a youthful red-headed widow and the
man who taught her to ny, streaked
away in the darkness today on flight

With the 30o-horsepower motor roar
ing, Mrs. Beryl Hart and Lieut.. William
S. MacLaren took to the air at 6 am.
MacLaren was at the controls. 1t was
their second take-off on the flight and
the flyers expressed belief that Lady
Luck" who deserted them on the at
tempt last Saturday, had smiled on
the effort. There was evidence in the
form of q quartering tailwind.
The plane circled over the naval air
station for a few minutes before head
ing out on the adventure across the
Atlantic. The weather was clear.
Mrs. Hart Confident.
Mrs. Hart, who holds an unlimited
transport license, intrusted the take-on
to her companion, the navigator Of the
fight, but expected to pilot the plane
most of the way. She was smiling and
confident as she took her place IN the
monoplarie after expressing her thanks
to naval flyers for the welcome and as
sistaYlce given them since Saturday,
when they brought the Tradewtnd down
here after an unsuccessful effort 70 To-
rata Eaersx441da frs n Te.fsna,F f7iufnf from

The flyers had a new sextant TO re.
place the one damaged shortly after
their take-od from New York and on
which they placed large share Of the
blame for failure of the first attempt.
Mrs. Hart said they expected to aver
age about 100 miles an hour, thus COM
pleting the 600-mile flight to Bermuda
shortly after noon. The wind. moderate
and from the southwest, was expected
to aid them. although Bermuda is
southeast from the Virginia Capes.

They estimated the distance from
Bermuda to the Azores was 2,042 miles
and that 81 hours would be required
for the trip, leaving 1870 miles to
Paris. They hope to make the last
hop in l71a hours and bring the sea-
plane down on the waters of the River
Seine at the French capital.
200 Pounds Of Cargo.
The flight is to demonstrate that
airplones may fly the Atlantic on q
commercial basis and cargo of food
stuffs and mail weighing about 200
pounds was in the planes fuselage.
Three hundred gallons of gasoline were
in the 400-gallon tank, so more gal

Wednesday in the grade school
tournament conducted along with
the sixth annual Indianapolis

at South Grove links.
Aliens final victory was scored
over Albert Glegor, Is, of 1923 North
Ketcham street, student at Holy
Trinity school. The margin was 4
up and to play.
Glegor went two up on the cham
pion early, but Allen won three
straight holes to go into the lead.
Glegor squared the match. on the
seventh only to lose it on the next
hole. He was l down at the turn.
The next three holes were halved

halved hole and then Allen won
three straight to put the finishing
touches to the match.
To reach the finals Allen waded
through his semi-final match with
Thomas Vaughn Of st. Anthony'S

holes before Vaughn made a stand

sacrifice motion and take his
chances with a shorter delivery.
There is no set style which must
be followed One pitcher gets his
best results one way, and another
is effective by a different move in
the windup. Some boxmen are
clumsy in their windup, and yet are
successful. I think Herb Pennock
has about as easy and graceful de-
livery as I ever saw.
Some like to turn their body away
from the batter before pitching, as
Bob Shawkey did.
1t simply is a question Of going
through the motion which natural
ly gets the muscles locsened up
and prepares the body for the OIL
low through without putting any
undue strain on any muscles. De-
velop your own windup. Go through
the motion quite relaxed and put
on the pressure just before you let
the ball go.
Each pitcher must prove to him
self what motion helps him most.
