lie re
In the year now drawing to a
close many conspicuous figures in the
world of sport and athletics have
been removed by death. Baseball,
aviation, motoring, pugilism, golf,
swimming, rowing, and the turf all
have lost noted leaders during the
past twelve months.
Two of the most recent losses to
the sport world resulted from tho
deaths of Aviator Horace Kearney
and Chester Lawrence, who were lost
in the Pacific ocean after a fall from
their aeroplane, in which the two
were making a flight from Newport
Beach, near Los Angeles to San
Francisco. Kearney was a young
j aeroplanist, who was just becoming
prominent in western aviation, and
Lawrence was one of the best known ,
and most liked newspaper man on the j
toast. He was connected with a i
Los Angeles paper as automobile ed
itor, and had recently taken up av
iation, as a more advanced sport than
motoring. His death was as much re
gretted in Phoenix as any place else
for he was a friend of every motor
ist and newspaper man here.
