After one of the moat brilliant ex
hibitions of twirling ever witnessed at
the local i>ark, Revelle virtually made
a present of a thirteen inning game
to the Roanoke champions. Com
pletely outpltchlng the Tigers’ twin
er. Andrada, Revelle mowed down the
visitors' batsmen with east-, and as
the game went Into extra innings the
Colta veteran aoemed to get stronger.
Only twelve men faced him iri the
eighth, ninth, tenth and iwelftn in
nings.
In the thirteenth inning, with the
best of Roanoke* hatting order out
of the way and with seemingly no
chance for Roanoke to hope tor any
thing better than a tie. Revelle gave
Spratt a slow straight ball that a
school boy could have knocked away
It was the first bail pitched and Spratt

Journey—Landing Made
With Great
Ease.
NEW YORK, May .30.—Cilerin K.
Curtiss, the American aviator, speed
ed down mi! air lanes from Albany
to Manhattan Island yesterday, doing
137 mile* In 153 minutes, better time
than any limited on the New York
Central ever made, and llmltoda don t
loaf.
He not only won the llO.t/00 prise
offered by the New York " orld. but
he made an International re.ord tor
sustained speed and surpassed all re
cords for an aeroplane in long-dis
tance flight. There were times when
his little biplane, which Is only half as
big as Paulhan's famous dyer, split
the air at more than a b'J-ralle an
hour clip, and hU average speed was
64 06 rnllea an hour.
The winds were good to Curtis* and
a liner (lay for beating space and
tlrpu could not have been picked from
the calendar.
The start was from Albany at 7:03
o'clock this morning, under weather
conditions as near perfect as the most
fastidious aviator could demand <>no
hour and 33 minutes later he had
made his stopping place near Pough
keepsie where there was an hviur'e in
termission. Resuming his bight «t
* 2)1, he sped southward and landed
within the boundary of Manhattan
Island at 10:36. Only 100 yards north
of the point on which his craft set
tled stretched Hpuyten I'uyvil Creek,
separating Manhattan island from the
mainland. Had he failed to cross
this ' his. flight would have been tr.
vain. bOt as he swept over It. the
prise was hit- Thence to Governor's
Island his task was but a whtm nl
triumph and the concluding lap of
a race already won.
A 40-Foot l»ro*.
Paulhan s flight from London to
Manchester—1»6 miles-—exceeded the
Curtiss feat In distance, but not In
speed and danger. The Frenchman's
average was 44.3 miles an hour, ar.d
below him lay English meadowianc
Curtiss followed the winding course
of the historic Hudson, with Jutting
headland, wooded slopes end treach
erous palisaades. .He swung high
over the great bridge at Poughkeep
sie, dipped at times within 60 feet of
the river s broad surface and Jockey
ed like a falcon at tho turn*. Or.ly
once did h.s craft show signs of re
bellion. This was off Storm King,
near West Point, where at a height
of nearly 1,0 00 feel a treacherous gust
struck his planes. The machine drop
ped like a rock for 40 feel and tilted
perilously. But Cl rtlss. always cool,
kept both his head ind has seat, and
by adroit manipulation of his levers
brought renewed equilibrium to hts
steed.
A Fine Start.
The aviator was up before,dawn to
day. hesitant despite favorable wea
ther conditions. But with eyes and
brain cleaned of the cobweb* of sleep
he went with hts mechanic and a
handful of spectators to Van Rensse
laer Island, on the Hudson, three
miles south of Albany, from where
he was to make the start. Waiting at
the river brink was a spt si New
York Central train for Mrs Curtiss
and her party, who had not accom
panied the aviator to the island. From
the train they could not see the actual
start, but those on the Island witness
ed a remarkable scene.
When the racer was wheeled from
beneath her canvas coverings shortly
before 7 o'clock the day was perfectly
clear, and what little wind was stir
ring blew from the north—a direction
favorable to Curtiss—at a speed of
perhaps four miles an hour.
The gasolene tank was Inspected
and the sparking apparatus given a
final teat. Two assistants held the
race horso in leasd. while a third
cranked the engine. There was a roar
from the exhaust, the two blades of
the fan. angular and lean, magically
merged Into blurred gray rose, the
muscles of the assistants at either
side tautened as the racer tugged
against them, the hair of the assist
ant at the rear stood out straight from
his head in the gale from the fan.
"Let go!" cried the pilot, and she
was off.
Like a Rocket.
Curtiss arose from the ground like a
rocket. There ware no preliminary
maneuvering#—there was no trial
flight. The aeroplane ran hurriedly
over the surface of the Island and
darted straight for Its goal to the
southward, turning only for a mo
ment to the westward, so that Cur
tiss might comply with the terms of
the competition under which he was
flying and technically cross the Al
bany city line.
Straight up soared the aeroplane
into the distance. When it reached
a height estimated at 500 feet it
seemed for a moment to hold a level
pace and then to rlne again to fur
ther levels. Perhaps 700 feet would
be a conservative estimate. Certainly
Curtiss was flying at a height which
he had never attempted before in his
life. In three minutes he was a min
uts speck In the distance. In seven
minutes he vanished from sight. The
whole performance was over in a
twinkling.
Race With Train
With the signal that Curtiss was
off. the special train, five cars and
a locomotive, cumbersome now by
comparison, gathered Impetus ami
•ought to follow. But so quickly had
he flown that for 21 miles .southward
the locomotive, though running near
ly a mile to the minute, remained a
laggard. At 7:2*. however, the train
came abreast of the aeroplane and
thence to New York City those rn
board kept the aviator In eight. But
as he did not reckon with curves or
track, reduced speed through towns
and switches, the man above main
tained a substantial lead.
Swiftly town and countryaido reel
ed by. Catakill was passed at 7 • 41.
with the aeroplane a thousand foot
above the Hudson. At S;0.“* he was
still flying high and veering well to
ward the west hank of the river Th»
exhaust of his engine could be plain y
heard by those below. For vlx miles
It drew attention to his coming and
che«rs arosa from shore and *c*at
At S:0*. 6H minutes after the start,
he soared past HhtnecUff Kerry. M
miles from Albany. Here there !r a
turn In the river, and Curtiss turned
again to the west, passing overland
to shorten his course. yttaatsburg
marked the sixtieth mile point and
he had covered this distance in 69,
minutes,
With Staatsburg behind, the giant
bridge spanning the river at Pu ugh
keepsie loomed ahead. The bridge
Itself Is 212 feet high, but Curtiss
topped In by 300. Thence he turned
westward, and with the precision of
a hird settled softly in the held three
miles south of Poughkeepsie al s 2«.
He had flown 7* miles from Albany
In S3 minutes
Oiling of the Bird.
The lauding place known as 'be
Qlll Meadows had previously been
selected, but because of last weeks
postponements Curtiss wag not ex
pected this morning, and there was
no gasoline and oil awaiting him But
\ fortunately two automobile tourist*
happened by and were eager to sup
ply him with the needed fuel and oil.
HI* tanks had been tilled with ten
gallons of gasoline before he left A l*
i bany. Examination showed that
three gallons remained, enough to
have carried him to West Point. But
Curtiss was taking no chances and
the timely arrival of the sutomo
bllists with supplies saved the day.
Fire alarm bells were rung as the
aviator neared Poughkeepsie, but his
progress was so rapid that but few
people had a change to reach a point
of vantage. On the Gill Meadows
a little group sighted him coming In
the distance and sent up a cheer.
From above he saw them as black
specks and was thus guided to his
landing place. Coming down grace
! fully, his machine struck ti grassy
knoll, trundled along for thirty or
; forty feet- then came to a atop.
The Final Basil.
The special train meanwhile brought
hts wife, who rushed from the car.
| climbed valiantly over the hills from
the railroad track and hurried to
her husband’s side. She greeted him
jubilantly while the crowd cheered
again.
With tanks refilled and every wire
and screw tested, Curtiss took his scat
; for the final dash to New York. The
1 biplane ran along the meadows for
j about two hundred feet, then shot
i from the ground w-lth nose pointed
i toward the river. In a moment more
j the craft was again over the Hudson
1 and Curtiss turned his course south
and was soon lost to view. Exactly
one hour had been consumed at
Poughkeepsie. For he arrived at S:26
and departed at 9:26 on the dot.
He passed the United States Military
Academy at West Point at 10 02. Offi
cer* and cadets alike looked upward
and sent a cheer after Curtiss, but:
there was no salute of guns.
Yonkers was reached at 10:30. and
he was flying about level with the Pal
isades. 300 to 400 feet up. Here Cur
tiss got hi* first gllmj.se of the Metro
politan tower. It looked tar ahead
like a giant needle, and Curttas knew
that he was nearing the upper limits
of New York city.
Out of the hase that laid in the
bend of the river at Yonkers he shot
Into the view of the thousands who
were waiting ills coming along the
uper reaches of Riverside Drive and
on the roofs of the big apartment
h .uses on Washington Heights. New
York city.
A mere speck at first, the little aero
plane looked not unlike u gull lluat
u:g with rigid wings on the breast of
a gule. The motor was chugging stur
dily and sending the craft along to
ward Its goal at a aU-mile-ai.-hour
clip.
Rounding the big jutting nose or
Alpine, on the Jersey shore opposite
Yonkers, Curtiss drove his machine
across the river toward the east side
of the stream and clov-lv hugged
the New Y'ork shore. The crowds
along the shore cheered and waved
hats and nandker. htefs, and the
sharp, shrill scree, hes of the whis
tles of the small pleasure boats join
ed with the more sonorous one.) of
the larger craft In giving a hearty
If inharmonious welcome.
HU-alght as an Arrow.
On past Rlverdale, flying straight
as an arrow and as swlltly. cam the
* aeroplane. It was abreast N. w York
City and only a tew miles iron the
upper end of Manhattan Island Har
ring some onlooked for accident, it
seemed now that Curtiss must " In
the H0.000 .prize
Suddenly, when Curtins had r. n ti
ed a point midway between Spuyten
Duyvil Creek (which separates Man
hattan Island from the Borough f,f
the Bronx) and Washington Point
tho speed of the biplane slackened
perceptibly and the machine dropped
until it seemed that it would almost
touch the water Then It cam- about
prettily, pointing upward and headed
up the river. The spectators were
nonplussed. Many of them believed
that the ma. hinery had gone w rong
and that Cur lias had lost Ilia luce.
! But Curtiss, had they known, was
as cool and collected as he had been
at any stage of his flight and he
waved his hand aasuringly. While
passing Spuyten Duyvil he had seen,
half a mile inland, a broad expanse
f of green sward, the upper end of
Manhattan Island. To win the prise
| it was necessary only to land in Min
i hatt&n proper, and here was the

WRIGHT BROTHERS
j RETARD AVIATION
--—
■liigid Protection of Their Patents
Prevents Airship Building
in This Country.
*
j NEW YORK. May 8U.—"Every Ku
: ropean nation Is far ahead of the
i United States In the science and prac
I tire of aviation through the action
■ of the Wright Brothers in rigidly
protecting thetr aeroplane patents and
thereby retarding the progress of air
ship building in this country."
| This is the opinion of Hayden
j Sands, the amateur American aviator,
• whose recent performances lit his
; Antoinette monoplane In Egypt and
I Germany attracted the attention of
j the aeronautic, world. Sands ts hero
' for a brief visit In an Interview here
he said
"It Is too had that this '‘question
of the Wright patent claims cannot
be settled at once, so that American
inventors, as well as foreign aviators,
may demonstrate their ability In thts
country. The Wrights are heroes In
Europe because of their wonderful
early conquests of the air, but since
! their first flights tremendous Improve
ments have beep, made In the ma
chines. and their aeroplane is now
generally regarded abroad as far be
hind such filers as the Parmar. M
j plane and the Antoinette an£ other
j well known monoplanes
"The attitude aX the Wrights has
embittered European navigators, and
it la doubtful If any of the promi
nent drivers will come over the Inter
national meet licensed bj the
Wrights.'
Sands favors the monoplane type
of riter. Ho says they are morn sta
ble, swifter and safer than most of
the biplanes.

the lighter's physical condition
"I did not think Jeffries could get
down so One In weight,” said Coftroth.
He looks to me In Just about the aame

Munro. I have never seen Jeffries look
quite as strong and healthy, and I have
Watched him eloaely In many a fight.
