TIIE MORXTXG OREGOXIAS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1909. ' . 1 !,t, t GURTISS IS FLUNG TO EARTH 81 WIND Makes Three Flights and Is , Injured by Sudden De scent in Third, AEROPLANE IS DAMAGED Repairs May Prevent His Taking Part In First Contests or Avia tlon 'Week at Rheims Gale Unroofs Aerodrome. RHEIMS, Aug. 18. Glenn H. Curtiss, the American aviator, who will take part In the "aviation week" contests, made two successful flights in his aero plane near here today, each of a few minutes' duration. But at the end of his third flight, which lasted four min utes Curtiss landed abruptly and his machine was slightly damaged. He said however, that the machine needed nothing but a little tuning; up to put it In condition. The accident was due to a violent rust of wind catching the aeroplane crosswise and causing It to strike the ground hard on Its side. It Is stated that the aeroplane was damaged more than at first appeared, and it Is feared that repairing possibly will be a long operation and even may preclude Mr. Curtis' participation In the first day's meet. Mr. Curtiss is suffering from shock and bruises, though his condition Is not serious. A hurricane accompanied by-hall and torrents of rain swept over the aero drome tonight, unroofing a number of sheds and drenchlnr M. de la Grange, who was making a short flight In M. Blerlot's machine. In the Arcadia course at Los Angeles. He said that he . was expecting President "Tom" Williams, of the Oakland track, at Saratoga early next month and arrange ments for a meeting would be made In the name fashion as .always. "There is no reason why the Western tracks cannot operate since the oral bet ting system has been found legal." he said "although it will take some time to get patrons on the Coast accustomed to th. n.m- Mra. Each bookmaker will have i to work up a clientele of his own and 1 this will take time. In fact, both meetings mav be run at a loss tne nrsi year, nm it will preserve racing on the Coast and Bill be a money-maker later on."

Mason Carnes" El Blarran was unplaced In the Prix Blon-ville. FANDOM AT RANDOM CHIEF Plnnance enjoyed one of his good day yesterday, and he suc ceeded in pussJlng the Aberdeen batters nicely. Charley Armbruster caught a fine game, and his pegging to second as tonished the Black Cats, who thought Buster would be easy to'steal on. Will d. Mac Rae, who has. been acting as business manager of the Northwest ern club, left .last night to Join Walter McCredie's team at San Francisco. "Speck" Harkness, who missed the train Sunday night, also left for the Bay City. "Speck" says he will pitch two games this week to make up for his delay. Sheldon Lejeune does not believe that President Lucas Is right in fining a player for something that happens off the field. Casey's team played fine ball for a bunch that has been shifted about so often that It has almost lost its iden tity. Billy Btaton, while somewhat off In his pegging to first, played a nice game at the short field position. As soon as he gets accustomed to he position he should be a worthy successor of Cooney. Fred Adams is accustomed to playing utility roles and his shift to third base does not bother him any. He played third for Oakland a long time. After trying hard all season Los Angeles finally succeeded In winning a series from San Francisco, getting four out of seven games played last week. Today, at San Francisco, McCredie's bunch opens a seven-game series with the Seals, and Mac expects he will win the odd game. Vincent Campbell, the Aberdeen right fielder' who has been sold to a major league club. Is one of the fastest men In the league going to first base. For a big man he Is a marvel.

Pearl Casey's more-or-less-shaken-up Colts opened a five-weeks' home engage ment yesterday by walloping the Aber den Black Cats with ex-Detroit Tiger Eddie Siever pitching. Chief Plnnance, working for Casey, plastered on the whitewash. Portland winning with the long end of a 2-to-O score. Charles Armbruster. erstwhile of the Coast League team, donned a Northwest ern League uniform for the first time, and Tom Murray was not missed from the line-up at all. "Buster" simply caught rings around all the backstops seen in the Northwestern League this season. The few ambitious Cats who tried to steal on the veteran were tosBed out so far they did not have a chance. Chief Plnnance was hit often enough, but Arm bruster succeeded in working him to a nicety, which kept the register clear of possible scores in the pinches. Dick Ereen was somewhat balky about playing in the Class B league, but after a talk with Judge W. W. McCredie. he announced that he would be in uniform todav. Casey played second base In his old-time form, although Staton, who played shortstop in place of Cooney, wag a trifle off in his throwing to first. Ad ams held down third, and Red Mullin. who has been out' of the game for over two months because of a broken ankle, was back at his old position at first base. Pat Mayes and 'Ward, the two youngsters used on the Northern trip, were released at Tacoma Sunday. Ed Kennedy is ill and Johnny Fournier 'was called upon to do outfield duty. Portland's first run came in the sec ond inning, when Billy Staton opened on Siever with a two-bagger, and went to third on Crocker's sacrifice. Kreits tried to catch him off the bag when Fournier fanned, but the bad peg al lowed Billy to score rfhe first run. In the fourth Mullin was hit by one of Siever's wild shoots and went to sec ond on a sacrifice by Staton. Fcumier's Texas Leaguer dropped safe back of sec ond and Mullin trotted all the way home. That was all in the scoring line for the home guard, and Chief Plnnance suc ceeded in preventing the Aberdeen con tingent from getting dangerous. Breen will likely play second base to day, for Casey does not feel any too strong, and his leg still bothers him. Sheldon . Lejeune. the hard-hitting center fielder, of the Aberdeen team, Is out of the game at present because of his re fusal to pay a heavy fine inflicted on him by President Lucas for some trouble he got into at Spokane recently. Lejeune says that he has always tried to behave himself on the ball field, and that his frouble was the result of a quarrel down town, and has nothing to do with base ball, on which account he refuses to pay the fine. The official score of yesterday's game is as follows: PORTLAND. Fund to Guarantee Stakes. NEW YORK. Aug. 16.
