Lieut. Walter Reed, American, re- ported landing near Pappenhelm, Ger- niany. Captain Armbruster, Swiss, reported from Kirschlag, lower Aus- tria.

Verification of thé distances shows that Maurice Blenaime, pilot of the French balloon ‘‘Ficardie,”” which came down four miles west of Mor, Hungary, is ahead thus far. KAPLAN AND WAGNER Pride of the Silver City is Confident He Will Defeat the Crack Phila- delphian in Thiirsday Nights's Bout. Hanover Park in Meriden, will be the scene of a corking fistic battle ‘Thursday evening when Kid Kaplan the Meriden Flash and Kid Wagner, the well known Philadelphia beoxer, meet in the feature bout of 12 rounds of the show which Matchmaker George Dwyer of Bridgeport has ar- ranged for the National A. C. No hout in recent vears has attracted the attention of the lovérs of the boxing game in the Nutmeg state as the com- ing argument between Kaplan and Wagner. Wagner is the faverite with Hart- ford fans and he also has a big fol- lowing in many of the towns neayby the Capitel City. This is due to the fact that he has a decision over the Meriden boy, gained some few weeks ago, dfter one of the most thrilling bouts ever seen in the Silver City. Since that time Kaplan has been anxious to wipe out the defeat. He says he will do it Thursday evening. It condition will gain glory for him, Kaplan should win, for he was never in better shape for a bout. He is al- ready in the pink of cenditien and down to weight. The last few days of his training will find him taking light exercise =0 he will be right en edge to swap punches with the boy from the Quaker City. Meriden folks will declare Thursday a holiday. They are talking about nothing this week but the big bout. Kaplan is idolized in his homé town and his thousands of friends will be present to se4 him in action against one of the hest two-handed perform- ers in the country—Kid Wagner. Dwyer has arrangeéd threé fine bouts as added attractions to the main ko. Tracey Ferguson will meet Diek Berry of Fall River in the semi-final of 10 rounds; Jimmy Proto will box six rounds with Young Siiverberg and Georgie Lynch will open the cshow with Frank Burnms, the pride of New Rritain, in a four round clash. WILSON BEATS MASON Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 8.—Claude Wilson, 17 year old Birmingham fly- weight, wén a ten-round decision ovér Frankie Mason of Feort Wayne, Ind., last night.

GREAT RUN GETTING AGAINST J BARRETT IS KAYOED BY WHITE IN THIRD Punch in Region of Heart Settles the Philadelphia Boy New York, Aug. 8.—Charlie White, Chicago lightweight, made mileage last night in his long trip to another championship bout with Benny Leon- ard, the title holder, and Bobby Bar- rett aspiring Philadelphian, took a long drop backwards. Cool headed and quiek, when op- portunity knocked, White dropped Barrett in the third round of their bout scheduled for 15 rounds at thq New York Velodrome, with a térrific right hand punch in the region of the heart. The Philadelphian fell to the resin face downward in a faint and came to just as Referee Patsy Haley was articulating the digit “ten.” Barrett Was Disappointed. Barrett was so disappointed when he waa lifted to his corner and real- ized what had happened, that he broke into tears and sobbed, almest broken hearted. Matters had been about even when he fell, though the Philadelphian had missed by a foot or more, half a dozen swings with his right hand that those who know say is about the deallest wallop in the lightweight ranks teday. It was a simple case of an experi- énced ringster ggainst a novice. Bar- rett took the lead and had rippéd the scab off of a cut on the Chicagoan's nese in the first round, and bruised the wound in the second. He paid more attention to White's left hook— the blow that has made Charlie one of the lightweight leaders—and was totally unpreparéd for the hard right sock to the heart. White and Tendler? The result may mean that White and Lew Tendler who reécéntly was turned back by Leonard, will meet tos decide which of the two is to have the next pot shot at the lightweight title. Tendler knocked out Barrett with body punches in seven rounds and then went 12 rounds with the champioen. White dnd Tendler tought éach ether. Other Bouts On Card. In the semi-fingl to the White-Bar- rett bout Pal Moore, of Mémphis, and Jack Wolfé, of Cleveland, fought 12 lively rounds to a draw. The crowd did not like Moore's jumping tactics and booed the deeision. Charley McKenna of New Yérk former amatéur heavywéight cham. pion, made his professional debut by giving a boxing lesson to Tim Kelly of Brooklyn. McKenna covered Kelly's body with blows, clésed oie eye and cut a gash over the other one. He was given the decision at the end of their six-round bout. Jack Worman of England, and Sammy Green, of the Bronx, fought 4 four-round draw. never have CHISOX GET BACKSTOP Chicago, Aug. 8.—Frank Kehlbeek- er, manager and catcher of the Meri- dlan club of the Cottén States league, will join the Chicago Sox at the clese of his club’s schedule, it was announe- éd here today.
