Duplessis slid into first base at
tempting to beat out a slow roller
to shortstop and, of all things,
spiked Bartlett's lady first base

Apparently ratified by theh incl
dent, Duplessis lost control tenn
porarily and struck Nellie on the
arm with a pitched ball when she
came to bat the same inning.
To prove she can take 1t, Nell
lie remained in the game.
Calamity apologize, Duplessis
went to Nellie after the game and
said "I wouldn't have had 1t hap
pen for the world"
TITS all part OF the game" an

loafed along in the Potomac.

newspapermen to Join Byrd and
accompany him up the river to

RUSHES TO SEA
AZ Naval Seaplanes Sent
1900 Miles Out Into
the Pacific
BY RICHARD c. WILSON

Honolulu, May 9 - (UP) -
Hawaii's entire aerial defense unit
- AZ naval seaplanes - pointed at
Wheeler Field, Honolulu today for
a swift defensive thrust 1900 miles
into the Pacific.
The perfectly conditioned ships,
representing the navy's most mod
ern fighting fleet, were expected
to roar northwestward at a. m.
(12:30 a. m. E.D.T.) bound for
Sandy Midway Island in the great
est mass flight ever undertaken.
Two hundred officers and pilots
who will participate in the flight
in units Of from four to ten men
to each plane stood by awaiting
the order that will lsend the huge
air Armada hurtling toward Mid
way. It will be the most spectacu-
lar phase Of the United States
fleets problem 16",.
Every Move Secret
Deepest secrecy, which shrouded
movements of Ironclad fighting
ships units, attended preparations
for the flight.
Admiral Joseph M. Reeves, COM
mander in chief Of the fleet spread
across the North Pacific, ordered
the flight. Beyond this bare fact
little could be learned as to plans
for the maneuver.
The return trip was to be made
May 20, 1t was understood.
Reliable sources revealed that
the mass movement ultimately will
involve approximate so planes, CO.
operating with surface ships of the
navy in repel1ing an attack Of one
fleet unit designated as an enemy
force.
In command of the air froce
when the ships take off will be
Commander E. Wayne Tod.
First Into Air
The first squadron to take the
air, it was understood, would be
the six huge VP-10 "Sesquiplane'
patrol ships which made a record
hop from San Francisco to Homo
lulu last year in the first trans
Pacific mass flight, a 2.400-mile
overwater hop.
The remainder of the Armada,
1t was said, would include a num-
Der of newly assembled planes, i'm
provements upon the transPaciflc
ships,ePip Observation-Disclosures
ships, which barely were eligible
for the journey. Pilots hurried the
craft through final test flight TO
complete required hours in the air.
Each of the planes was expected
to have aboard, in addition to itE
crew, capacity loads Of ammunition,
or weight substituted for explosives
which would be carried In far time.
Surface craft 1t was understood,
would follow the couse Of the
flight t omidway, a lonely cable
station which will be employed as
a mid-Pacific operations base on
the projected commercial trans
Pacific service of Pan American
Always.
