DARING AVIATORS, LOST IN FOG AND WIND, FALL AT BIG MEET. HOFF IS THOUGHT TO BE DYING Many Machines Are Wrecked As Air Navigators Are Driven To Ground Palmer Safe. OAKLAND, Feb. 17. Opening of an aviation meet at the old Emeryville racetrack near here today was bap tized with blood. Tonight William H. Hoff, a San Francisco aviator, lies probably dying in a hospital and a half dozen of hi3 fellow aviators, more fortunate than he in escaping from the wreckage of their machines, are nerving themselves to play again to morrow the hide-and-seek game with death which lurks in the ocean fogs and the gusty winds of San Francisco Bay. Phil O. Parmalee, Glenn Martin, Horace F. Kearney and Hillory Beachey were among those whose machines were driven to the ground. One after another the biplanes were caught by the wind which was broken into combatting currents by the is lands of San Francisco Bay and the hills and mountains that surround It. Before the aviators could pitch their planes to meet one burst of the half gale, another, from a different direc tion, would upset their entire equilib rium. Palmer ,the youngest aviator at the meet, became lost in the fog and it was feared he had fallen into the swift tide which races past the Federal military prison Qn Alcatraz Island, but he finally landed. .
