BY HARRY M. GRAYSON. For the first time this season a. ball ' game at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets was postponed yesterday be cause of the interference of J. Pluvius. A drizzle, which continued during the .greater part of the afternoon, forced Cmpire Bill Guthrie to hand out the "nothing doing" sign on the opening contest of the Salt Lake-Portland series. Bis Bill did not put the damper on the festivities until after the 800 fans present and pastimers had lingered about like a bunch of bailiffs for 20 minutes. As this is the only trip that Bddie llerr's Bees make here this year. Judge William W. McCredie, president of the Portland baseball company, announced that there will be two games played" Sunday, commencing at 1:30 P. M. Be cause of the Victory Rose Festival parades the games of today, tomorrow and Friday will not start until 4:30 P. M., a sort of twilight league as it were. As the processions all commence at 2:"0 P. M. the rabid ones will have two hours to give the conquering heroes, pretty girls and floats the east and west before trekking to Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets. t Manager Herr fetched 16 players, the limit, with him. The Mormons broke even at Seattle, where Lyle Bigbee's pitching was the toughest thorn in their sides. Prexy Lane's lads have a percentage of .518 and. as a result of yesterday's games down south, are resting on the fourth rung of the Baum ladder and pressing Vernon and San Francisco for second place. As the Mackian machine is running on high just at this time, there's bound to be a classy lot of trench raids in the front line zone this week.

(Continued From First Pase.) country, rough, and hilly, with no place to light in time of trouble, the type of plane adopted should have more than one motor. Thus, if one motor goes wrone. the flieht can be continued until a landing field is reached and the diffi- culty adjusted. "The flight was of importance in demonstrating the nature of availabil ity of the landing fields selected and in determining the character of the coun try, from ihe aviator's viewpoint, be tween here and California. The route we took was the natural route, and en tirely practicable for continuous air service." Had Governor Olcott, at the eleventh hour, decided that business of state would prevent, most regretably, his participation in the Salem to Portland flight, there was an anxious proxy waiting in the capital none other than John H. Albert, president of the Capital National bank. Oetogenarlan Would Fly. "Mr. Albert is 80 years old." said Governor Olcott, 'but he was wild to go adventuring in the clouds, and my chief regret just now is that he had to remain behind. By gosh,' it was great! There was the Willamette river, miles of it, stretched out below us like a nice little canal. It's the honest truth that I enjoyed every moment of the flight." Members of the reception committee were William McMurray, chairman: W. E. Conklin. Richard W. Childs. H. C. von Horstel, chairman of the avia tion committee; Milton Reed Klepper, president of the Aero club of Oregon; A. M. Grilley, and Adjutant Carolyn Jones of the motor corps of the Na tional League for Women's service. The landings were specimens of skilled cleverness that thrilled the watchers to cheers, and that impelled William McMurray to assert enthusiastically that "this is the greatest day Portland has ever witnessed," .predicting that the new era of practicable traffic by the air route has at length reached the city.

Parent's signature THE MORNING OREGONIAN, "WEDNESDAY, FIELD, WHEN OREGON'S GOVERNOR ARRIVED VIA AIRPLANE ing the big planes swoop down to a strange field in unfamiliar territory, with all the certainty of carrier pigeons i ciui null; tu Lll5 KlUIIltS lull, Liicic two minor thrills that sauced the event ; with the soice of danger and which ter- ; minated happily. j Lieutenant Hackett. nosing his Cur tiss in the dive to the turf, came near to collision with an oak, and averted disaster by swift and skillful maneu vering. "My mechanic, in the front seat, must have had an anxious moment or so. when that tree loomed up in front of us." commented the lieutenant. "But I didn't see the blamed thing till we were almost ready to crah into it." One plane in the main squadron, leading the rest, turned sharply ana went down at a long slant behind the distant trees, apparently over the river. Those who watched it were apprehen sively convinced that it had made a forced landing, and were speaking of rescue when the plane rose again and turned in toward the field. It was piloted by Lieutenant Fetters, who used to visit Portland frequently, and whose knowledge of the local typog raphy led him a moment astray. Wrong Course Spotted. "I was looking for a. golf links," ex plained Lieutenant Fetters, "and there was the Waverley club spread out be neath me. I circled down for a land ing, but there were no markers nor were there any evidence of the other planes." We weren't more than 10 feet off-the ground when I decided to look elsewhere, and rose again." The sixth Curtiss. which arrived later in the afternoon, piloted by Lieu tenant James S. Krull, spent the fore noon at Lebanon in exhibition flights, and rejoined its companion, the De Haviland bombing plane, a half hour after the latter had alighted at East moreland. Lieutenant Krull was in high good humor, challenging any and all to dispute the claim of Lebanon as the premier entertainment- center of Oregon. "Strawberries." he exclaimed. "O. boy! They had gallons and gallons of 'em, with thick cream. Look here!" Berries Come by Air. He stooped into the cockpit and lifted a full crate of Lebanon straw berries, the gift of the town upon his departure. Off came the top, and in less time than it takes to tell the avia tors were demolishing berries and passing the boxes around. .. The Ie Haviland, piloted by Lieu tenant William McR. Beck, and carry ing Lieutenant William Bevan as pas senger, was as ready for war as for festivaL Her blue metal machine guns pointed straight out over the pilot's cockpit, her bombing gear was in place and the Lewis gun mechan ism operated by the observer lacked L. JL-- mobile gun for cloudland way from Corvallis the re . , , . ; , i. Haviland struggled and stuttered with engine trouble, and the officers were dubious about making the trip without being forced to land. But they did make it, though most of the flight was through storm conditions. "We rose to dodge the rain," laughed Lieutenant Bevan, "and ran into fog, sleet and snow. It was cold. I'll tell you. Flying at 10,000 feet we. passed some of the biggest clouds I ever saw." Bomber ! Fast Plane. "I kept her on an even keel, didn't I," asked Lieutenant Beck. "Not all the time. Beck, not all the time," bantered his companion. "There was one stretch in the fog when you flew quite a while on left wing high." The De Haviland is equipped with a Liberty 12 motor, weighing 873 pounds, and capable of developing 400 horse power at 1600 revolutions. The plane weighs 3200 pounds and attains a speed of 124 miles an hour. Though her wing spread is less than that of the Curtiss type, the big bomber seems far larger in every way. The De Haviland will climb to a height of 20.000 feet. "Our actual flying time, from Mather field to Portland, was six hours and 40 minutes," said Lieutenant Beck. Exhibits Start Today. The Curtiss planes are equipped with Hispano-Suiza motors, developing 150 horse power at 1450 revolutions, and fly at a speed of 80 to 90 miles an hour. They weigh 2200 pounds, are of the Curtiss H J N 4 H type, and will climb 1600 feet. The squadron of planes will make its first exhibition festival flight at 10 o'clock this morning, from Eastmore land field, the municipal golf links. bearing the following civilians as passengers, all of whom are to report promptly to Milton R. Klepper, presi dent of the'' Aero club of Oregon, at the field: Clyde V.

Colonel Watson said that on the flight to Portland, little attempt had been made by local committees to keep the crowds away from the, planes and he requested that on the return flight action be taken 'to prevent similar situations. CORVALLIS ACCLAIMS BEVAN" Crowds Cheer Getaway of Town's Native Air Pilot. CORVALLIS, Or.. June 10. (Special.) Corvallis bade good-bye to the De Haviland-four here this afternoon at 2 o'clock by the ringing of bells and blowing of whistle's. The big plane had been delayed all forenoon Decause of engine trouble, and when she finally soared over the city in triumphant de fiance of the elements, a big shout of acclaim went up from thousands of throats. Corvallis was particularly Interested In the De Haviland because it was the first plane ever to come to Corvallis, and it was piloted here by a Corvallis man. Lieutenant W. A. Bevan. The snappy little Curtiss plane had better luck. Her engines purred ener getically this morning at 8 o'clock, and at 8:30 Lieutenant Krull put her nose to the sky. flew over the city and campus grounds, executed all the maneuvers, including loop the loop, tail spin. Immelman turn and side glide. For half an hour he held a large crowd of spectators in admiring gaze at man's successful invasion of the eagle's ele ment.

The De Haviland made its trip from Sacramento to Corvallis in five hours and 40 minutes actual flying time. Th aviators estimated the plane had trav eled BOO miles.

Christopher Wall are on your board, we nave decided to invite you to assume control in regard to the appointment of all the officials, the referee, two judges (if you think them advisable) and the timekeeper. 'I also ask you to alter any condi tions under which the exhibition will be conducted, if in the opinion of your board any such conditions are incon sistent with the laws of humanity and the rules of clean and wholesome sport. "Before sending this invitation to your board, I of course consulted with Willard and .Dempsey, and when I pointed out the great amount of good it was in their power to do to boxing by supporting your board, to their credit be it said, they readily assented.
