FITZMAURICE BARRED;

MILDENHALL AIRPORT, Eng

the fastest planes known to air.
men were tuned and fueled last
night in readiness for a take-off
at dawn on thrilling aerial der
by across Europe, Asia and the
South Seas to Melbourne, Aus
tralia.
The number was reduced by
one suddenly last night when Col.
James C. Fitzmaurice, flying a
big Bellanca monoplane, was dis
qualified because Of the weight Of
his machine. He had entered his
ship, the 'Irish Sweep" for the
Irish Hospital sweepstakes, but it
was found at the last minute that
his plane with load was over the
5,400-pound limit set by his inter-
national certificate, granted by
the U. S. department Of COM
merce.
Fitzmaurice, transatlantic fiier
and considered one of the best
q bets for winning the Australia
classic, appealed to the stewards
: of the Royal Aero club against
the race committees disqualified
ton, but his appeal was denied
shortly before midnight.
Fitzmaurice withdrew from the
race. To have trimmed the weight
of his plane sufficient to meet the
requirement would have reduced
it's flying range so per cent.
The committees decision fol-
lowed a cable to Washington,
where Fitzmaurice got his flying
certificates. The department of
commerce replied he had only the
normal international certificate
which could be given, to carry
5.4OO pounds. The committee
then informed the Irish flier he
would have to carry that load or
disqualify.
A trio Of American entrants,
including one woman among the
six fliers. were among the racers
gathered from all over the world
for what is expected to be the
greatest air classic.
They were generally expected
to have q. fair chance to win one
of the three prizes, totaling near
lily 100000 in all, offered by q
wealthy Australian as inducement
for the mad dash over land and
sea for. new honors in the skies.
The first take-off was scheduled
flor $50 a. m. (1:30 a. m. New
York time) and the others were
to hop into the air at 45-second
Intervals thereafter, turning their
ships southeastward toward Eu-

A RTHUR (once known as The

only one error in A games to lead

was a dandy.
1t occurred in Milwaukee in May

Art once played, and the Colum-
bus Redbirds, for whom he was
first baSeman at the time. With
