Grant, Douglas catcher, the first batter up in the fourth frame, flied out to shortstop. Erskine lined a drive down the third base line| which struck the bag, staying in the playing field. On a ground ball to Schmitz, hit by Andrews, Erskine took second. Then up came the Islanders new second baseman, Gribble, who hit the second pitch down the third base line, bouncing it off Werner's shins, and when tall Joe recovered the ball Erskine had scored, and Werner retrieving the ball, fired it to second base in an attempt to head off Gribble who was stretching the hit, but Joe threw high Schmitz and the ball rolled far out into right field and Gribble scored all the way standing up. Mcose Tally In the latter half of the fourth inning the Moose, determined to tie up the score, led off with Martin g flying out to right field. Joe Snow, Moose first sacker, lined a single into left field and took second on a passed ball, as Marquardt struck out. | Grant, trying to make an unneed- ed play at first to catch the batter Marquardt, after dropping the third strike, threw to Andrews who wheeled and threw to third in an attempt to head off Snow, but it was another bad throw, far over the third baseman's head, and Snow scored with the only Moose run of the game. Hitting honors were even with each team collecting four hits. The only extra base hit of the game came in the third inning when Bob Kim- ball slapped a long hit into left field that Jensen vainly tried to| catch ‘and Kimball pulled up at/| secend. | From the fifth inning on, Erskine | had the Mogse batters in the palm | of his hand, striking out nine mvni in the five last frames and giving | but one weak Texas Leaguer to Tom | Martin. Lawsen on Meund | In the first of the seventh inning, B. Lawson, brother of Eddie Law- | son, took the mound for the Moose and showed promise of giving the | Moose mound staff some needed | strength. He gave out one hit, a BOB FELLER'S MOTHER IS HIT BY FOUL BALL Accident Happens During Sunday Game - Ace Goes on fo Win CHICAGO, Ill, May 15.—Mrs William Feller, mother of Bob Fel- ler, Cleveland ace pitcher, was struck by a foul tip off the bat of Marvin Owen, White Sox third base- man, while sitting in a box during the Cleveland-Chicago game yes- terday.

All the newest scientific devices nvented by aviation experts are be- ng employed in the effort to have At Top, a Student in the “Link Trainer,” Used for Study of Blind Flying. Engine. At Lower Right, Students Are Instructed in Radio. the students letter-perfect in their tasks by the time they start flying over the broad reaches of the Atlan- tie. One of the gadgets which is used in the course is the “Link Trainer,” for instruction in blind flying. It gives all the sensations of flying without the user baving to move a foot from Mother Earth. Another is the “Jeep,” the auto- matic mechanical pilot commonly called a robot, which is used on the clippers. The students are instruct- ed in use of the device, which will keep a plane on its course without the aid of the pilots except in event of emergency, Below, Left, Inspecting an The pilots also are given lessons in the mechanics of the four giant 750-horsepower motors which drive the giant flying boats through the air at a speed of 150 miles per hour. In event any of the motors break down in midflight, the pilots will be able to make emergency repairs that will put the plane back on full pow- er for duration of the flight. Still another phase of their aerial education is instruction in the use of the radio, which will keep the planes in constant touch with both sides of the Atlantic, keeping them on their course and informing them of weather conditions ahead.
