second game of the double-header
with the AS that day. the former
st. Louis finger showed signs OF
coming back into the form which
made him such a sensation with
the Browns during the latter part
of last year.
Beat Grove in 1881
It will be remembered it was
this blond-headed youth who
pitched his head off one summer
afternoon last August against
Lefty Grove, the result Of the
game being a 1-to-0 decision for
the Browns and a sudden halt
of the great Groves winning
streak, which had reached 16
straight before that time.
OF course, Coffman can't be
figured on making a comeback
right away, if such is to be done
by him, but the baseball popu-
lace, not only here but throughout
the league, can depend upon his
pitching better each time out
from now on, because of Coff-
mans own reasons If for no other
reasons.
His reasons? Well, they go
like this:
"That game in Philly last
week did me worlds Of good
and don't think IL didn't. I
think I'm ready to do better
now, and, Of course, Pm going
to try. You bet, those losses Of
mine since joining the GriffS
have worried me. But / feel bet
ter about everything now, par
ticularly since last Saturdays
game, as said before"
The schedule gives the Griffs
an off-day today. But tomorrow,
as mentioned, Manager JohnSon'S
men are due to open four-game
series against the Cleveland In
dians, with the Chicago White
Sox, st. Louis Browns and Detroit
Tigers, following in that order.

 Burglars also removed the screen from the transom of tho Eagle Lunch room at 480 West Main street and carried away SIG, which the proprietor thought was in q safe hiding place. The cash register was not touched.

and began stunting over the all- American airport, five miles from the municipal field. when his plane broke apart. The wreckage fell on the landing field.
 Walter Beech, president of the Curtlss Wright companies, was quoted by one of his officials as warning Jackson not to stunt in the new experimental plane when the St Louis pilot asked to try 1t. This official said Beech declared the craft would not stand the strain of Jackson's stunts. Beech had flown the plane here from St Louis with Charles S. Casey Jones, war ace and barn. storming pilot. Several other fly CTS had tried it without stunting and had approved it.
 Mrs Jackson had accompanied her husband here for the races, but was not at the airport when the accident occurred.
 Jackson, (Red) as he was known to the air clan, was only 29 years old. He was recognized as one of the most skillful stunt flyers in the country. He had worked with Freddie Lund and Leroy McGregor in a stunt team for years. Lund was killed recently
 But Jackson was best known for his famous endurance flight with Forest O'Brine in the "St Louis Robin" and in the Greater St Louis" They brought their plane down on Lambert-St Louis flying field August IT, 1880, after 647 hours 28 minutes, 30 seconds in the air.
 Jackson and O'Brine flew the "Greater St Louis" as they said they would, until the motor drops out" When they scared gracefully down in a perfect three point land ing, the crankcase was broken and two cylinders were missing and spraying oil over the ship. They had remained aloft in sus- tained flight longer than any man before them and had re-won the record they set in 1929 at APO hours, 2l minutes, 90 seconds. The Hunter brothers, of Sparta, III, broke the first Jackson O Brine mark with 554-hour endurance flight.
 During the first endurance flight a secret of the then youthful Jack. son was revealed. Constant pres- enee at the field of . pretty blonde led 10 the disclosure that she was Jaekson's bride, It was the first lime his marriage had been known to the public,

nounced he will not seek a show down at this meeting, but he will lay the proposal before 1t for dis cussion and expects 1t to be re- ferred to the national convention for decision.
 Many democratic leaders are preparing to so to Baltimore to- night to witness the formal launch ing of the presidential boom for Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, the first major presi- dential candidate in either party to venture out into the open water.
 Ritchie is for repeal of the 18th amendment and always has been vigorously opposed by the drys. A tall, striking figure, four times governor of Maryland, one of the most popular men personally In the party, he Is nevertheless con- siderably shackled by a general feeling that dry opposition to him cannot be budged.
 Regardless of his own chances at the nomination, he will become key figure should the convention balloting reach deadlock. Gener- al relief Is that his delegates would not go to Governor Roosevelt Of New OrK.
 Roosevelt, though generally re- garded as leading potential can- didate, has held back a formal an- nouncement. Political callers are described as social visitors. He says he is too busy being governor of New York to consider national pol tiles.
 Yet democrats here were quick 1n t,% hto n 1T 4n fha New York legislature yesterday, Roosevelt declared that New York's fiscal difficulties were due in part to a lack of leadership at Wash ington, to a federal lack of plan and of action. He said the people are calling for leadership. No politician doubts that Roosevelt regards himself as the man who could supply it.
 Roosevelt will not be here for the national committee meeting or the Jackson day dinner Friday night, but he will be a figure upper most in the minds of most of those present. One group sees in him the logical candidate and the other Is calculating how to stop him. He is at the moment the central figure in the democratic picture-Roose- welt against the field, the same position MT Hoover was in exactly four years ago.
 Newton D. Baker of Ohio is the opposite figure, looked to by many Roosevelt democrats as the man upon whom to focus the scat tered strength.
 Tn the background. is the strange ly silent Alfred E. Smith of the brown derby, the man who, most party leaders concede, has 1t in his power almost to name anyone except himself as the party candi- date. He will be 0 speaker at the Jackson day dinner. He is not ex- pected to discuss candidates.

Although all the pipe for the in- staIiation of the new water system in the western section of the city has been bought by the municipal ity and is now awaiting use at the street departments yards, there Is Is no money to go ahead with the project, it was explained last night at a meeting of the board of works by Mayor Frank Hayes. This pecu.. liar condition exists as result of the failure of the city to secure a buyer for the $50,000 in pumping station bonds, which were offered for sale twice in the past several weeks.
 Michael Stango headed a dele gation from Martone street, which is in the Bunker Hill section, and asked for water service. He said that about five hundred feet of mousse. Mayor Hayes explained that the pressure is none too good in that section now.
 Mir Stango stated that a two-inch pipe would serve the needs of the petitioners. The mayor remarked that water doesn't flow any faster through a two-inch pipe than through six-inch one when there is no pressure. The matter was re- ferred to the water committee.
 Mayor Hayes stated that if 1t Is possible to install the main now the work will be done, but he as- sured the residents of the thor oughfare that he will positively have the installation made when the new pumping system has been built. It is likely that with the jump in the bond market the city will offer the bonds for sale again, soon.

 "Now therefore be it resolved, by the army of jobiess marching un- der the leadership of Father Cox:
 "First-That congress appropri- ate five billion dollars to be raised by the issue and sale of bonds and to be expended for the creation of work in public construction, includ- ing highways, public buildings, hos- tfon, flood control, and water power conservation.
 "Second--That congress immedi- ately appropriate to the several states and municipalities, according to their need and number of un- employed, sufficient sums of money to be distributed, through agencies now functioning, for the purpose of providing food, clothing and shelter to the needy and hungry who are out of work.
 "Third-That congress appropri- ate sufficient sums of money for loans to reesta blish the farmer, the backbone of a free nation.
 "Fourth-That the money for these appropriations be raised by the increase, up to sixty per cen- tum, of the surtaxes on large in- comes, effective on incomes earned in the year 1881; by the immedi- ate raising of the federal inherit ance taxes on large estates up to seventy per centum; and by the levying of a large gift tax to pre- vent the evasion of the inheritance taxes, an evil now so fagrantly practiced; and be 1t further
 Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be delivered by the Rev Father James R. Cox to the presi- dent of the United States, to the vice president, as presiding oficer of the senate. and to the speaker of the house."

 had been made unconscious and had died some hours later. Lukens and who first sighted the wrecked craft while flying over the mountain, were the first to reach the bodies, which were not immediately removed to New vile. Score of automobiles came from Newville to the scene and an undertaken was summoned from Newville.
 The plane had crashed In dense woods on the very mountain top. The wreckage was only few hun dred feet from a narrow noun | tain road that Jed to a fire tower near the wreckage. Lukens, an expert pilot. viewed the wreckage and the Terrain and had little difficulty visualizing the | last moments of the two women flyers. He believed they were fy- ing through q heavy fog. They negotiated 0 spin--a common trick to get out.
 Not realizing how low they were flying, they crashed into the moun- tain top without second of warn- ing.
 In car we engaged at Newvllle and accompanied by ten members of the Pennsylvania National guard we approached the wreckage from mountain road. It was soft, muddy, and we slushed long with mud up to our ankles. We broke through dense underbrush and came upon the wreckagc.
 The crash had been terrific. The engine was half buried in the ground. We first glimpsed Mrs Stewards body projecting from un- der the engine. The wings and cabin were mass of tangled, splintered fragments. The plane gllstened white and clean in bright sunlight. Obviously, there had been no fire.
 We helped the national guards men lift the heavy engine to re- move Mrs Stewards body. Then we looked about for the body of Mrs Stanford. But the plane had crashed in such a way that the wings blocked entrance to the cabin. Exercising our mass strength we finally succeeded in tearing the wings apart. There, on the floor of the cabin, was her body, with q deep gash over the eye. Otherwise there was no phys ical mark of injury.
 Mrs Stewart was killed instant ly. Mrs Stanford might have lived for \ number of hours after the crash.
 By this time other cars were ar- irving. State police reinforced the national guard and a cordon was thrown around the wreckage to keep back the curious.

 For this reason politicians are not ignoring the talk of Speaker John N. Garner of Texas. He Is likely to have the Texas delega. ton. He has made a strong i'm. pression by his handling of the house during his short regime as speaker.
