R-34 IS SPEEDING
ON ITS JOURNEY
(By Associated Press)
London, July 11. The British
dirigible, R-34, was in direct touch
by wireless with Clifton Station at
jfour o'clock this morning. Greenwich
time, it gave its position as forty
three degrees and forty minutes,
North Latitude, and forty si xdegree
west longitude. The sped of the
craft at that time was forty-live
knots an hour.
In a clean and closely-played game
yesterday, the Cubs and a picked
team made up of players from the
three other clubs in the apparently
defunct Twilight League, played to
a tie score of 4-4, quitting on account
of darkness at the end of the seventh
inning. (
White pitching for the Cubs was
fairly effective, but wild, as were
both Henderson and Reld of the I
other team. Cooper who succeeded
White in the box for the Cubs, was
highly effective during the last four
innings of Ue game.
It appears that the Twilight
League lias disbanded, due to the
withdrawal of the Indians from the
League. The Indians took this step,
it is said because of the impossibility
of getthig the players to go out and
play with enough regularity. Definite
arrangements as to the continuance
or disbanding of the League will be
made public as soon as they are de
cided upon. The Cubs are winners
of the second series as well as the
first, which came to a close some
weeks ago, although the Grays for
some time held the first place in the
League, and were close behind the
Cubs when the last series came to a
close a few days ago.
