ancient enemy the Cubs, in the second

machine should not do likewise. The
entire machine is now assembled
: the flying section having been affixed
10 tne ooat null several days ago.
It is the inten'ion of Captain Bat
l.son, who will personally pilot the air
ship In its initial flights, to navigate
the vessel into the broad reaches of
the Wilmington river, and to make the
first trial flights in the direction of
Wiimington island. Two government

Savannah shortly, and it is understood
I that upon thcir arrlval preparations

shape up rapidly.
Captain Batson expects his largest
source of revenue to come eventually
from the gvernments of the world,
which will use his machines for army
aviation purposes in preference to the
unstable machines now in commission
because cf its superiority ofconslruc
t!.on and lifting and carrying capacity.

QUINCY DIRECTORS
MEET WEDNESDAY
Quincy, 111., Sept. 16. Quincy's can
didate for the presidency of the Three-I
league will be named in a meeting of
i the board of directors of the locel
club to be held in baseball headquar
ters Wednesday evening.
Claims of the cities asking for ad
mission into the league will also be
considered at this tim3 and the finan
cial condition of the 1913 champions
will be brought to the attention of
the directors.
President Urban stated yesterday
morning that he had not decided yet
as to, the merits of the various can
didates for the position of head of
the league, but that he would give
the matter his consideration between
now and Wednesday evening.
The prexy la like everyon who
knows President Al Tearney person
ally. He thinks a great deal of him
as a man and a prince of cood fel
lows. But like the other magnates
he believes the president to be a man
of poor executive ability who has per
mitted Lie league affairs to slip
through his fingers with little atten
tion. As to the other candidates, Urban
was non-committal and was incflned
to let judgment rest until the meeting

Of a size to permit the carrying of
sufficient fuel for a two days' run, the
big machine will not have to descend
to replenish its supply on the long
flight from Savannah to New York,
which will be attempted immediately
after the trial flights. If that flight
proves satisfactory, then the first
flight across the Atlantic ocean will
be undertaken. This air craft, unlike
any others, will have a normal speed
capacity cf 100 miles an hour. Under
favorable conditions it will be able to
j attain much greater speed than that.
Its 11-foot propellers make one thous
and revolutions a minute.
Within a year from the date of the
trial flights. If the present plans of
i the inventor do not miscarry, there
will be operated between Savannah
and Liverpool, England, a line of pas
senger carrying air craft which will
make the trip across the Atlantic in
36 hours.
The Batson aero yacht will carry
about three tons dead weight in addi-
tion to its own weight. Instead of be-
ing comprised of a single plane orof sufficient power to drive the ma-
j pair of planes, the carrying surface

SHERIDAN GOES
KNOCK-OUT ROUTE
Is Put Out by White in Second
Round "Young" Sinnett
Gets a Draw.
Racine, Wis., Sept. 16. Charlie
White stopped Mickey Sheridan 48
seconds after the bell started the sec
ond round of the wind-up on Racine's
big boxing card last night He did
not knock him out, except technically.
He dropped Mickey with a straight
left to the chin while they were in a
sharp mixup. Mickey went down heav
ily, uut the fighting spirit was still
there. He clamored to his feet at the
four count, then dropped to one knee
again when he heard Fred Gilmore
shout to take the count He glared
savagely at White while waiting to get
up, but when he clambored to his
feet was decidedly unsteady.
White started right after him, but
when Referee Haggey observed the
unsteadiness of the Irishman, he
stepped between the men and called a
nait. The crowd veiled. "Let thpm
fight," and Harry Gilmore. Sr.. shoutpd
to Haggey that Sheridan was able to
continue. But Hagey had stopped it
and his word was law.
A few seconds later Sheridan was
revived enough to protest and danced
around the ring to show the crowd that
he was all right Mickey was a sadly
disappointed ringman when he started
to his dressing room.
Mickey might have been able to stick
a little longer, but the chances are
White would have stopped him cold
in the second round. Charley was all
ihe class of the pair. He is. a won
derful little fighter and Sheridan
never will be able to hold his own
with him.

It was an even round.
Round II Sheridan rushed as they

White blocked it. and then put two
lefts to the head. Immediately after
that he dropped Sheridan with a left
