his opponent rally to win out by TO
scores.

in his last game against Chillicothe,
he turned in a lead of six marbles
to three, but never could get an
other to give him the game.

catur, Ill, went through a long
practice session both Monday aft
ernoon and this morning. and the
indianapolis lad shot great marbles
But once in the ring against league
opponents, Billy found the old jinx

Crash in St. Johns Landing
Comes When Sun Blinds
Girl Filler.

ST. JOHNS, N. B., June %
Miss Ruth Nichols, 32-year- old Rye,
N. Y, society girl, was undergoing
hospital treatment today for in
juries suffered when her white and
gold monoplane, in which she had
planned to be the first woman to
solo across the Atlantic ocean,
cracked up in landing here on the
first leg of the journey.
Physicians said Miss Nichols was
not injured seriously but they plan
to make several X-ray pictures of
her back today. They reported that
preliminary examination showed
she suffered a strained back and
a wrenched ligament as well as a
severe liberation of the right leg.
Plane Damaged Badly
Her Lockheed-Vega monoplane
was damaged badly by the crash.
The under carriage, of special con-
truction for the proposed flight, was
smashed and partly carried away.
The engine also was damaged and
partly torn from the fuselage.
Clarence Chamberlin, trans
Atlantic flyer and technical adviser
to Miss Nichols, who arrived shortly
after the crash, was reported in a
conversation with Miss Nichols at
the hospital to have expressed the
opinion a new plane would be neces-
sary before she could make another
attempt at the long overwater hop.
Aviation experts said that at best
it would take several weeks to again
put her craft in flying condition.
Blinded by Sun
Miss Nichols took off from the
Floyd Bennett airport in New York
City at 1922 p. m. Monday to make
record fight to the airport here.
Due to the direction of the wind,
Miss Nichols was forced to attempt
landing in the glare of the set
ting sun. The glare against the
windshield of the craft caused her
to overshoot the runway and the
plane tipped on its nose, lust
across the boundary of the field.
She was lifted from the craft BY
persons who crowded about the
damaged plane, and taken to the
local hospital.
