(P—A record in 19 years of international balloon racing—five successful vic- |tories in the famed Gordon Ben- nett cup race—today appeared safe- ly within the grasp of the United States. Repeating his triumph of a year ago, Ward T. Van Orman of Akron, 10., America’s veteran balloonist, brought his Goodyear VIII down at Canton, Mass, on the outskirts -of Boston last night after traveling approximately 550 miles Cleveland, its starting point Makes 100 Miles Further This was more than 100 miles farther than the nearest of the five |other competitors and barring mis- | fortune when the race is officially | checked. made him an easy winner The Belgica, piloted by Capt Ernest DeMuyter of Belgium, the | most_experienced of all the entrants and himself a victor four times, ap- | peared to have covered the second |longest distance, 435 miles, |faced with the possibility disqualified because a farmer Ioos- ened the drag rope when it was caught in a tree at Esperance, N. = The . unofficial |nounced by the here, was: o Goodyear VIIL piloted by Van Orman; Allan MacCracken, 5 landed at Canton Junction, three miles from Boston; distance, 550 miles.

Passes Over Connecticut The Goodyear VIIT first drifted southwest to Berea, 0., about-faced out over the middle of Lake Erie, touched shore at Portland, N, Y. and then floated directly east across New Yerk to Springfield, Mass., southeast at Pomfret, Conn., and northeast to Canton Junction. It barely missed a smokestack in land- ing Capt. DeMuyter and Coeckelbaerg courageously fought lightning, snow and low altitude, and Coeckelbaerg even slid down the drag rope into a tree top to lighten the load, but the Belgica was forced down a few minutes later. hurt and wandered into a farm yard four hours afterward The German crew experienced no less a hazardous flight. A terrific thunderstorm near Buffalo, icy tem- peratures in the higher = altitudes and the necessity of tossing over- board everything not absolutely es- | sential, including extra clothing, conspired to beat them. Blair and Trotter, aboard the City of Cleveland, gambled on bouncing up to regain altitude rather than throw away ballast when a cold down draft caught them. The bag bounced into a tree, however, and was torn, ending their first venture in_international racing. The City of Detroit, driven back by adverse currents, barely escaped falling into the Hudson river just before landing at Coeyman Most disappointed were the French entrants, forced down in a storm in Ontario.
