Navy Dirigible Ready for Flighi Today Pensacola, Fla., April 1. The DN-1, first of the United States navy's fleet of dirigible airships, was delivered to the government by the Connecticut Aircraft company and made ready for its initial flight under the direction of Tilot Lieutenant-Commander McCrary at the naval aeronautic station here to day. Commander McCrary recently returned from his naval business journey to London and supervised the completion of the DN-1 at New Haven, Conn., where the big envelope was, assembled. Naval authorities predict that the 1)N 1 is the first of a monster fleet of air craft which eventually will become one of the country 's biggest defensive forces. While this dirigible is a small non rigid affair compared to the Zeppelins in use on the other side, the company is already working on plans for the con struction at once of a larger ship of tho rigid type and built on the lines of the latest models now in use in Europe. It will be usd as a train ing ship for the instruction of pilots. Tho dirigible is 175 feet long, 35 feet in diameter and 50 feet high. It weighs 5,000 pounds and has a lifting capacity of 3,000 pounds, making a total of 7.000 nonnds. The envelope will contain 150,000 cubic feet of I hydrogen and the craft will travel at nspecd of thirty-five miles an hour. The car is twenty feet long and five feet wide and will carry a crew of eight. It is built to float on the water. Motive power is provided by an eight cylinder gasoline engine, which operates two four-bladed propellers, one on each side of the car. The car will be steered by a big canvass rudder hung on the Tear of the envelope, while horizontal planes. Tunning on the equator of the envelope, will prevent a rolling motion.

As the streams get lower, later in the season, it is expected that Salem fishermen will be conspicuous by their absence on Sundays when they wade along the creeks by day and then spend their I evenings raising fish, because it is a i well known fact that although dry land I is popularly supposed to be fatal to trout, a small string has been known to make a wonderful growth over night while stored in the family refrigerator on the back porch. envelope, separated from the main com partment for the lifting hydrogen gas, are two compartments to direct the bal loon up and down as it travels through the air. When it is proposed to ascend the rear compartment is pumped full of air, which makes that end much heavier than the front. Tho envelope points upward, and is driven by the propellers. When it is desired to descend the operation is reversed, the front of the machine being made heav ier than tho rear. A system of pulleys through which the suspending ropes pass keeps the car itself at a horizontal position, no mat ter what the angle of inclination of the envelope may be. A tube rises from tne car wbich is for the purpose of driving air into the two compartments, which are known as balonets. The two propellers can be rotated by means of handwheel and worm gear in a vertical plane, so that their line of thrust can be kept parallel to the hor izontal axis of the envelope no matter what the angle of inclination of the car, Kvery portion of the cloth that went into tie envelope of this balloon was examined with the aid of a strong light and wherever the warp or woof threads appeared to be separated or thinner than usual the parts were re-enforced, although the cloth was absolutely new. In the gondola a large margin of safety has been observed, while the balloon for its size is said to be more powerfully engined than any now in existence.

WATCH YOUR OIL1 While overhauling an old, two-cylinder .Maxwell car, E. E. Booth of Pomo na, California, found in the crank case a sizable chunk of refined gold which had apparently been once the crown of somebody's tooth. Its presence in the oil and other residue has not been ex plained. For That Run-down Condition so characteristic of Spring you will be benefited by a trial of HOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters It is an excellent Tonic and Appetizer - CDAOT mCCTD wli VU1 VJUJJU Jim Thorpe is about to "nrrivo" at last, if his spring training feats are a forerunner of what he will do in the regular season. The Indian athlete has been hitting hard nnd at convenient junctures of the training games. Max -Carey, whose position at bat has been the snhject of more comment, per haps, than most any other player in the major leagues, will continue to bat from either side of the plate, und lie will do so of his own volition. Jesse Altenberg, the speed demon, who created such a furore in the train ing camp last season, is back again de claring that it takes money to learn to be a lawyer and the only way ho see of getting money is by sticking with tne i'lttsmirg clut). Hence he has an nounced his intention of sticking in the big league this year. Dnn Costello. of the Pittwlmrofs lin n hankering to branch out in tlie news paper business. He isn't through with baseball yet, but after awhile he may try his hand at being a scrivener. "You lenoHs nave n so easy," ne saut t-o a writer the other dnv. Alua. iu 'f Tlun the innocent boyt Benny Kauff, down at Marlin, Texas, with the New York Giants, admits that his batting will be equally as good with Met i raw's club as it was in his old berth. Benny, says reports,, is di'ig little loafing, and has been among the first players to start for tho ball lot these mornings. , Ball lllnvers in the "Vfitimml lniriin admit that Napoleon Sucker, of the Brooklyna is in a class by himself when it comes to delivering a slow curve. Rucker's arm went back on him three years ago and he lost his speed. Bi he retained the rrrnv mntter in hia lmn.l and began to develop a new delivery. in nine ne mastered control of the slow ball which, batsmen say, is harder to hit than a sneeder. "Ruck! snnn uno able to put the leather over the middle ur coiners or inc plate at will. He studied the weak points of the opposing hitters until he knew inst n-lmf unni,i fool them. Last year' Hucker's pitch ing was confined entirely to slotv balls. He did not deliver a rust one all sea son and his arm, as a result, gradually became stronger. When Charley Dooin was managing i ne i nnaiieipuia citin ne tried for a long while to get Bill Rariden, then catching for Boston, but to no avail. The men have long lieen close friends, and the first thi he greeted Charley on his arrival nt .iiiiriin was: wen. we re together at last:" Wilbert Hobinson declares that, he is not worrying about Johnston. He snid he would like to have the player in line, hut is not losincr nnv slccn rwnr Ma failure to report at the training camp. "This vniintr TTiclfmn l..l.u good to me," said Undo Robby. "He acts like a regular ball player and it wouldn't surprise me if he earned a, steady job with the Brooklyn club this season." We have a hunch that Tris Speaker's argument with the Red Sox, which made him a holdout this spring, has more to do with the length of his new contract than with tho actual salary figures. Sneaker Js only 28 yenrs of age, but this spring he looks to be .15 years older. Perhaps prematurely gray hair has something to do with his nrr penrance, but his face is becoming deep ly lined, too. That he is aging rapidly is the impression one would glean from seeing him in his Texas haunts. George Kelley, California outfielder with the Giants, is showing up so well at the Marlin camp that ho stands a fair chance of squeezing either Dave Robertson or Ed Rousch out of a job if they do not report and get into con dition. .Ed IConetchy, from reports received from the Braves' training camp, has entered the training season with the same vigor and enthusiasm that marker his inaugural into the Federal league last season. Konetchy is happy to have landed with the Braves' club, as the outlook for if to be a big factor this summer in settling the title. After eight days of training, with twice-B-day workouts, Manager Buck Herzog, of the Cincinnati Keds, is pleased with the condition of his men anil already is predicting great, things. ; He snvs: "I am going to set the pace in the National league season. Take that j from me. " j A decree of absolute divorce was granted by default in the supreme court iof Bronx' county, on March 1.1, to :"Heinie" Zimmerman, of the Chicago Nntionnl league club, from Helen O.. Zimmerman.

If Pat Moran is correct in his asser tion that the rhillic-s with the ndi' of Karl Adams and Chief Bender, have the liest pitching stnff in the National league, there is very ifttle reason why Philly should not boast of a National league championship for the seconj I time. Pat assures the scribes nnd others at St. Petersburg that his hurlert arc o BASE BALL IEAM IS ill Wanted One Good Manager, a Few Players, a Park, and Plenty of Pep Will Salem have a baseball team this year J Of course, there will be plenty of baseball teams in Salem because the various clubs and organizations about tho city will set about to collect 1 doien players and organize a team, but what the fans are looking for is someone to step 'forward with a genial disposition, a baseball head and plei ty of spare time to resurrect the dormant Senators. Salem needs a baseball te'im to repre sent the Cherry City against the other smaller towns of the valley and to play the league teams and semi pro organizn tion.s that clamor for dates. Salem's best players are signing with other teams and they cannot be ex pected to wait for something to happen which will shake up the local fans into organizing a Salem team. Now is the time to make hay for the baseball harvest nnd the well orgnnized tc'.ms of the valley' arc signing up players to strengthen their nggiwgations where lo cal players fail to fill the vacancies in the line-up. The small town managers however, arc willing to spend a little chnnge to secure the services of a go-' v player and the Salem players have found out that even though sa'nries are paved with "honoralle meiiticn" that no other bills can be paid on the1 sami basis. With the uncertain support that is i e corded a team in Salem the players can expect no big league salaries but if i team is organized the players of this city will give their services for a split of the gate receipts, that is an honest spi't, for they will not be r-nri-'? 1 wilh u few splinters otf ot the pt.ul niim.s-1 sion bank roll. Now if some public spirited man will,', step forward, and rally the Salem base- j bull players around his standard he wi'l be able to organize a. team and treat for the lease on the park but it will be no gold mine for a manager but Salem will have a baseball team as well as the more enterprising burgs such as Hope well and Kola which have already lined their nines up for early season practice.

Some Facts About the Famous Corbett Brothers Two brothers the Corbett boys, were athletically inclined from tho time they first fell out of their trundle beds. The manner in which they landed indicated this. Out in California amid the frag rance of the orange groves, and roses were these two lads reared. In their extreme youth they gave every indica tion of becoming great athletes, for they were passionately fond of all sport-s pertaining to skill, nerve and strength. Jim, the older of tn two, In his early youth, was ambitious to be a ball player a great one. Joe, the younger, had a mad dusire to be a pugilist to shine as a great boxer. Now James spent many hours trying to become proficient in the national game, but 'twas of no purpose, for the tall lad wonfd never make a finished ball player. Ho could play the game fast enough for amateur contests. but would never make a professional inj 100 yenrs. ihat was the verdict ot his friends. On the other hand, the dream of Joe Corbett 's ambition was to be n boxer, like Charley Mitchell, Jacl Dempsey, or even Joe Choynski, but th would-be pugilist failed to show the necessary qualities, failed to impress hir friends by his skill with the mitts, and they handed nut the verdict that Jo. would never do in the roped arena. They were a sad pair of athletes that is, athletically sad. As time wore on Jim discovered that he possessed con siderable skill ns u boxer, the manner in which he banged the other fellow's jaw convinced his friends thnt he was there with the mitts. But James never cared for the boxing game ns a youngster, nothing but baseball for him, hut whe was the use; if he couldn't make the select class he didn't want to go at nil. Now brother Joo hadn't much use for the gamo of baseball and only played it under great pressure, and brother Jim's coaxing. One day an old-timer mentioned to Joseph that he would make a good pitcher from the manner in which he pegged the ball across the diamond, it fairly smoked in its flights. This suggestion awakened a new idea in the athletic brain and breast of Joe. The clever youngster had come to the conclusion that he would never amount to much as a "pug," so gave all his spare time to reliearsinij the tricks nt tlie pitching game and in n short time proved beyond all doubt that r? had the makings of n r.'.il hnrler in him. James CorbMt alviouch ho was very loath to abandon all hope of ever amounting to anything as a ball to.s-ser. finally gave up in despair of ever get ting any farther than ffie sand lot bri gade, turned his f ullnttention to the boxing gnme and soon learned to like the sport nnd enjoyed the fun of knock ing the other fellow 's block off. He be came so proficient with his dukes that the average local expert was easy for him. His skill attracted considerable attention nnd in a short time he found himself famous as a scientific, boxer. His march to fame came in leaps and bounds, and one day he licked the cham pion heavyweight scrapper of the world, displaying a new style of fighting, which was a revelation to nil experts of the old school and I might add. the nuw. And the gentlemanly young 'ad who de spised the fighting jjanie at oi" time and detested the idea of ever becoming a pugilist became the cininpion of the world in knocking the block off ell un- pirnuts who dured to meet him. Brother Joe, the would oe hover, who despised baseball in his infantile years, made a success as an amateur pitcher, then proved he could qualify for faster company, so he got a job with the f'ali- whirlwind in hurling a baseball that lie was offered a trial with the best base ball elub in the world, including Hono lulu. In his very first season with the Baltimore team, when it was tike class iest aggregation ever hunched together. l.Toe Corbett pitched and won two games in the Temple Cup series of 1S!H1, to de cide which was the best team in Imse ball. That season the Orioles won all four games. The following season Joe Corbett was the star pitcher of the big 12-club National league and no one was more proud of his little brothter than was Champion James E. Corbett, and you can bet that little Joe was proud of his big brother, Jim. Sporting Life. Fight Tabloids New York, April 1.
