A TORTOISE OF THE SKIES
 AND AN .AERONAUTICAL HARE

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N r., July 2O.-A tortoise of the skies was due to leave early tomorrow on an st tempt to beat the time of an aero nautical hare around the world. The tortoise is the Red Arlane of Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Jernon, who lodged death this morning when the plane failed to rise with it's heavy load of fuel. The Pangborn and Jer- non plane is far slower than that bown by Post and Gatty, but Fang born and Jernon expect to win the race, and for the same reasen that the tortoise beat the hare in the fable. The Winnie Mae is a one man plane, it's second occupant being entirely a navigator. For this reason time has to be taken out for sleep, and SO al- most as much time was spent on, the ground as in the air during the world flight. The Pangborn plane has dual controls, and when Papgborn wants to sleep Jernon can pilot, and gvice versa. Like the tortoise of the fable, they expect to keep plugging away, and so eventually beat the time of their f1eeter opponent.

Sharkey, the better boxer, took little punishment, and left the ring unharmed, while Walker was covered with blood
 The draw decision was doubtless influenced by Sharkey's unintentional low blows, none of which, however, the New York law penalizes.
