Second Airplane Disappoint-
ment For the Champs
It is announced that the Camp Sherman team headed by Charlie Magnus, former
second baseman for the Norwood Champions, will be here for games at the
Norwood Park Saturday and Sunday.
To the great disappointment of the Norwood Champions the airplane from the Dayton Field did not reach the ball
park either Saturday or Sunday. The fault was not that of President Rohrer as he had made all arrangements for both trips, even
to securing the aviator and the failure of the appearance was not due to any fault on his part. Saturday the airplane started from
Dayton with Lieut. Hambly aboard, but developed engine trouble and had to descend near Franklin. Sunday it didn't start at all
because of an order issued holding all planes at that point for some unexplained reason. Crowds gathered on both occasions to see
the arrival here, but there was nothing doing. The Aviation ball club came, however, and was trimmed by Norwood at both games, 8 to
3 on Saturday and 10 to 0 Sunday.

The Hilltops came out on top again Sunday, defeating the Howard Eagles 10 to 0. Next Sunday the Hilltops taken
the Pelican Midgets, rated as one of the best Class B teams in Cincinnati, and this will be the acid test for the North Norwood
bunch. Game starts at 1 p.m. at Norwood ball park.
