Dayton, 0., Oct. 1.—The world's airplane speed record of 243.68 miles an hour, made by Lieutenant A. J. Willlams, U. 8. navy, in the Pulitzer races at St. Louis a year ago, is ex- pected to bs beaten by one of the three United States army aviators entered in this event at the interna- tfonal air races to be held here Oc- d 4. will not take part in the races this year. This decision, made early last winter, conforms to a pol- icy whereby the army is responsible for the defense of the Pulitzer tro- phy against international competl- tors, and the navy accepts a similar responsibility with respect to the in- ternational seaplane races for 'the Schneider cup trophy. There are no entrants for the Pulitzer race this year outside of the three United States army men. They will fly planes that went through the Pulitzer race at St. Louis last year. Two of the planes, reconditioned Curtiss army races, will be flown by Lieutenant W. H. Brookley of Mec- |Cook field and Captain Burt Skeel, of Selfridge Field, Mich. Lieutenant Harry H. Mills, of Wilbur Wright field, will fly a Verville-Sperry mono- plane . ‘Wright field, where the races will be held this year has 5,300 acres and a grand,stand a mile long is being built for the spectators. In order that those who attend may hear as well as see, loud speak- ers will be installed at intervals of 400 feet along the grand stand and connected with the judges’ and tim- ers’ stand at the start and finish of the 200 kilometer triangular course. The army entrants have stated they expect to eclipse Lieutenant Willlams' record by at least 20 miles an hour. They are figuring on & speed of between 260 and 270 miles an hour. Lieutenant Alexander Pearson of McCook fleld, who was killed recent- ly while he was flying the plane on which Lieutenant Williams made his record at St. Louis had touched a speed of 266 miles an hour. Pear- son was making a practice flight and the wings of his plane collapsed while he was banking for a turn, The Pulitzer trophy was first com- peted for in 1820. It has been won twice by the United States army air service, once by the United States navy air service, and once by a civilian flyer. In 1920 156 miles an hour and in the intervening four years the speed has increased nearly 100 miles an hour. Second Honeymoons WILBUR!

RID oF You- Now PLAYERS | Big Parade Features To- day’s Observance—All of 30,000 Reserved Seats for Saturday and Sunday Games Are Sold—-Only 5,000 for Bleacherites— Good Weather Assured. Washington, Oct. 1.—Sophisticat- od old Washington cast oft its dig. nity today to welcome home in sand- lot fashion its American league pen- nant winning baseball club, for about the first time in history the city had a chance to stage its own parade, cheer its own heroes, and forget that it was the sedate capital of the nation. High officlals of the government slighted their state duties tq turn out for the general scramble for points of vantage along Pennsyl- vania avenue and shout”and yell a greeting to the team that has given the city its first pennant in the nals of baseball. President Coolidge a week ago had carefully reserved an hour from the demands of his official dutles to take a leading part in the home coming celebration, every detall of which had received the officlal stamp of approval of a committee appointed by the district. commis- sioners. The reception committes arrang- ed to meet the players at the Amer- jcan league baseball park in auto- mobiles and whisk them to peace monument, the starting point of the parade, in order to enable the team to take a snappy workout before the celebration. Because pretty much the entire city seemed to want to march in- stead of look on, the committes lim- ited the participants in the proces- sion to a few representative bodies. A squadron of mounted police form- ed the van of the colorful marchers. Other units included the United States cavalry band from Fort Myer, the Washington Riding and Hunt club attired in scarlet hunting coats; ten of the city's most beautiful young girls, dressed in white and mounted on white horses, and a train of automobiles carrying repre- fenmtlve citizens. By starting the parade from the Peace monument at 4:30 p. m. the committee alloted thirty minutes for the march down the avenue to the ellipse back of the White House, at which point the program provided for a brief address to the players by the president. Anticipating in ad- vance the huge crowd that would gather to see the closing part of the welcome, the committee arranged for a band to be stationed on the Ellipse to afford entertainment while the thousands who chose the avenue as thelr grandstand shouted and cheered the procession to the White House. As a finishing touch to the pro- gram of welcome, the team will be guests at a banquet fonight. Announcement was made today that practically all of the 30,000 re- serve seats in the ball park had been sold for the first two games of the world series with the New York Glants to be played here Saturday and Sunday. This, it was said leaves only about 5,000 bleacher seats to go on sale for each contest. A formal proclamation congratus latfng the team was issued yester- day by the district commissioners while numerous civil bodies also passed congratulatory .resolutions. The weather bureau todsy reiters ated its promise of fair weather for the week-end games.
