visited the Bob in Wychmere Harbor
before dawn yesterday, spent a few hap
py moments with her child and then
returned to her home. 1t was from the
Bob that Margaret and her father were
taken.
The McMath family had agreed to
keep all negotiations secret and were
to stay aboard the Bob for 48 hours be-
fore letting any one know Of their
whereabouts. In some manner news
that the child was aboard the Bob
leaked out and Coast Guards and Gsn.

Needham questioned the girl aboard

"She was brick" he commented
later, "and she answered every question
clearly and smartly."
She remained at the Woods Hole
Coast Guard base just long enough to

home to Harwichport and put to bed.

The unknown factors in the case,
which State police sought to solve,
we're:
The identity Of the girls kidnapers.
The exact location of the shack

And the source Ct the ransom money.
The details OF the contracts made
by the kidnapers and the manner in
which the ransom money was paid out
were not wholly known.
Trent McMath said contact was made
with the kidnapers late wednesday
night. It was known that an envelope,
unstamped and delivered by hand, was
involved in the contact.
Thursday arrangements were made
to raise the ransom money and that
afternoon the Merchants National Bank
of Boston requested a State police ON
Ger to act as guard for the transfer
Of a large sum Of money.

men for the family said, received q
letter from the child. Margaret, how

to mention this letter.
Thursday night an automobile bear

ransom money was supposedly TUNED

Some delegates expressed the belief
that League members should refuse the

These delegates remarked that re-

United States, on February IA for a
sanction to hold the College Park meet
mo final action on my request for
sanction was taken until late yester-
day. Warrington said. Il then re-
ceived telephone communication from
a young woman clerk employed by the
National Aeronautic Association that
the secretary, William Enyart was sick
and informing me the association had
decided that two of the events were
not approved. I refused to accept such
a telephone communication and have
had no official word from the N. A. A.
up to this time.
"I bitterly resent the treatment ac-
corded by the National Aeronautic
Association. Our program has been
public knowledge for weeks and 1t Is
gross injustice for them to attempt to
dictate policies at the eleventh hour.
Our whole program is safe and
our rules have been examined and ap-
proved by officials of the aeronauttcs
merce, several of whom are serving as
race officials tomorrow for one con-
slider that the safety OF the air is
vested in the Department Of Commerce
and I am willing to abide by the de-
cision of its officials. If the N. A. A.
does not choose to sanction our air
meet, the meet will go on without
saction, as it has been planned"
IS Pilots Are Entered.
Thirty-five pilots from the Capital
and nearby States have been entered
for the meet, which is to begin at noon.
Thick weather this morning was hold
ing I'D the arrival of out-of-town con-
testants, but with clearing skies fore
cast for this afternoon and clear wealth.
er for tomorrow, all contestants are
expected to be able to fly here in time
for the events.
The "slow" race to which objection
was made by the National Aeronautic
Association, is scheduled as the sixth
event on tomorrow's program and is
one Of the novel features OF the meet:
Rules for the race, which will be issued
to competing pilots, are as follows:
81. Maximum altitude allowable 1000
feet (ship checking this will be fly
ing the course at this altitude, con-
testant exceeding 1000 feet will be
disqualified).
%. Contestant at all times must
maintain a straight course to the pylon
and returning to the finish line.
49, Landing must be made on line
at right angles to the finish line.
81 Maximum elapsed time shall de-
termine the winner of this event"
Allowed to Kill Time.
Contestants may climb and glide from
ground level to 1000 feet and back
repeatedly in order to kill time. so long
as they remain on the course, 1t was
explained.
The other race to which objection
was voiced is 20-mile race for planes
powered with OX-5 engines. For the
sake of safety in this and other races,
Warrington explained, it was decided
that no race horse starts" would be
employed but that planes would be
tagged over the starting line at 20
second intervals so as to avoid any pos
sible interference with each other.

In the first place, Yale, while

two leading contenders.
First it was the Boston Red Sox

the Boston Braves appear to have
taken up where the laSt-place
Phillies left off on the job of
knocking the Cardinals deeper
into second place in the National.
Outslugged by the Phillies in three
out of four games, the Cards went to
Boston yesterday and ran into an un-
beatable brand of pitching that gave
them another defeat. Leo Mangum,
who hadn't started game since early
May, blanked them with six hits, to

The Yanks unloaded batch OF

Yanks Going Collegiate.

THE Yankees may not be den-
i nitely committed to a policy
of uplifting the educational
standards of the big leagues, but
they have made rapid strides this
year in enlisting college talent
under their far-flung banners.
They signed Yale's star pitcher,
Johnny Broaca, after engaging Charlie
Devens of Harvard and assigning him
to the Newark Bears for a years sea-
soning. Jimmy Hitchcock, Auburn S
All-American halfback and base ball
shortstop, is the latest to cast his lot
with the Yankee forces.
Columbia Lou Gehrig is, of
course, the chief example Of
what a college degree can do for
a ball player with the Yankees.

sity of Alabama Sewells and DIR.
