ARMY, NAVY MASS
 AIRCRAFT TODAY
3Oth Anniversary of Pur- chase of First Military
 Plane Today

Wright Field, Dayton, O., Aug. 2-
 (UP)-The army and navy massed laundering display of aircraft to- day in celebration of the 3Oth an- niversary of the purchase of the first military airplane by the United States.
 The celebration was nationwide but was centered here, where a sin- gle generation ago, the Wright brothers launched the airplane in- dustry as a sideline to their bicycle repair shop. There were 300 gov- ernment officials here with nine military attaches of foreign govern ments as their guests, to see the best in military machinery and perform ance that this country can muster.
 The featured exhibits will be the army's new pilotless, radio-controlled target airplane, and the four-mo- tored flying fortress that crossed the country from Burbank, Calf, to New York in the substratosphere yesterday in nine hours and IA minutes.
 They, as well as the newest mod- els in pursuit, attack, and bombing the sky-will demonstrate the prog ress made since far-sighted military planes-enough of them to darken men first convinced congress of the potentialities of aircraft in war. The first plane bought for the army, on August 2. 1909, was fiimsy two- scatter designed for reconnaissance work and vulnerable to rifle fire from the ground.
 Today there were planes in ac- tion that can carry 11,000 pounds of bombs 10000 feet into the air; planes with Administrations speed, that fly in close, mass formation; the pilotless plane that will be launched by catapult, make 8 demonstration test and descend by parachute.
 A crowd of 25,000 was expected at the field during the day and the only restriction was upon amateur photographers, who were forbidden to take pictures.
 Elsewhere in the country, army planes were leaving their bases for demonstration flights about New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. President Roosevelt will sig nal from Washington at non (EDT) for the take-off of 15 planes from Mitchell field, N. r., for a flight over the area. On the Pacific coast there was an unprecedented maneuver in which civilians were taking part. Civilian observation stations, eight miles apart, were set up from the Canadian to the Mexican borders to watch for mock invasion of the United States frontier.

Freak Finish Gives Reds ] Winning Run in Last !
 7 Half of Ninth lsl

Et It was the last of the ninth in- ming, nobody out, score tied and winning run on the bases when Moose chucker Sogaard decided to give Douglas catcher Grant four balls, but Grant doublecrossed So- gaard and popped out surprising single to make history in Channel baseball.
 All in all, it was probably one of the best games seen in Juneau in many years, and Douglas victory of 2-1, gives the Reds a well earned crown for the 1889 season.
 Moose Tally
 Moose made the first tally in the opening frame when Schmitz walk ed and Snow, fourth man up, scored him with a single.
 Douglas evened up in the last of tn third inning when Erskine doubled and Turner singled to score Erskine.
 From then on until the Hateful ninth, both pitchers. Sogaard for the Moose, and Erskine for the Island CTS, hurled fine ball .f
 Erskine on frequent occasions, showed good headwork in getting out of his holes by walking hitters he feared in order to get at others on the list less dangerous. His pitching in the pinches was excellent.
 That Ninth Inning
 But that ninth inning is worth repeating.
 Big Andy Andrews was first up in the Douglas half of the ninth. The veteran blasted one off Joe Shows boot strings.
 Jensen, following Andrews, slapped out a double into left center to put Andrews on third with nobody out
 Moose battery and infield held cheerless consultation and decided to walk Grant. Catcher Grummett raised his hand for a free trip. Ball one-ball two-ball three-and then before anyone realized it at all, Lon nie Grant reached out and caught one on the end of the bat when it came too close to the plate.
 And that ended your ball game and 1899 season.
