Capt. Kddle Rickenbacker, whose via-it to Utile Ruck Monday was an evrut long to be remembered, left for Decatur. early Tuesday morning, expressing gratitude for the many cuurteaiea shown im here, but heaving a sigh of relief at the thought thai ouly three more days remain of the two and one-half months' lecture tour for which be contracted on his return from Europe. America's premier ace, who tliaplays In numerous ways that he would rather fight than talk, especially about himself, closes his lecture tour, into which he was "inveigled" by the bal of a great bureau, Thursday at lntlian-i apulis. Then it'a "home and mother" at Columbus, Ohio, for a brief breathing spell, while he "tunes up" for another ''take-off" iutu the Great Adventure of life, The flier nays bia plans are not made for the immediate future, but that he doea nut wish to reenter the racing game.

Eddie's love for bis mother, which crop out every now and then, coupled with his modesty and his deprecation of ail effort to make him into a matinee idol, were two of the things which especially endeared him to bis Little Rock No "Chorus Girl" Life. "Only three more days of this chorus-girl life for (he great ace said, aa he gathered bis "doll rags" preparatory to catching the northbouud Sunshine Special. Captain Rickeubacker'a lecture at Liberty Hall at 8 o'clock Monday night, in which he told In unassuming, unaffected style of some of the "incidents" of bis flaming career in the sky during the last five aud one-half months of the world-war, was filled with thrills for his bearers. While he made no effort at the dra matic, and struck no poses, Captain KickcnhaekafVatii nrv of the deeds notch won for him the French Croix lie Guerre with nine palms, the Medal of the legion of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and many other houors, kept the audience on the qui vive through two hours or more. Onlv a few of the 20 German plaues of which he disposed single-handed in the Sir were disposed of Monday night in his talk.

But enough waa said during the lecture ana auring siaj. Ucn. refer Traub a Introduction to give the audienee a verv tlefiinte idea about the wonderful courage and skill possessed by the modest young man who waa before them. 1 aptain Itickenbackcr dealt very briefly with bis own entry into the flying; game, and touched only the high spot of his career as commanding of-ficer of the IWth (Hat-in-the-RIng) Aero Squadron, which definitely estab lished the superiority of the allies over the serial force of th Roche, Almost "Got" Krenrhman. The ace won laughter and applause by the details of the first flight he made, in which he ran down another aeroplane and waa about to pour a ruinous nre into It, when he suddenly discovered that it) was a French ma chine.

On the same trip, however. Cap tain iticxenbacKer met an enemy plane. ana after a sensational right brought it aown. Balloon raids, single-handed combats.

A "dark night'' will greet the boxing fana Wednesday night. No show is scheduled bectuse of Elks' celebrations going on in Little Rock. However tbe fans are leaning back in the chairs and resting easily. They are willing to wait until a week from Wednesday, for on that date' they will have an opportunity of witnessing a bout that ha been urged for several weeks. The bout we have in mind is the 10- round clash between Jimmy Hanlon of Lenver ana ilea Herring ol l'aduacb, Kid Elberfeld's boxing protege.

Itcd came here practically uuheralded. He was matched with Jack liyan and succeeded in stopping Ryan in six stanzas. He then was pitted against Jimmy Minor and was successful in his operations against the Memphis ooy. Red Is clever, tough, arrreasiva and a hard puncher which, combined, guar antees nis opponent a real battle. Red has a fighting heart and fights from the minute toe bout starts utnil the gong sounds ending the contest unlets the tolling of tbe referee beats the roni to it.

And Red declares the referee will have to count Hanlon out Hanlon a Favorite. Hanlon is a bis favorite here. The Denver battler is another boy who has a ngnting Heart. Hanlon has boxed three times before local audiences. In bia first bout here, the opening boxing show at Camp Pike, he gave Jimmy Reagan a severe beating in 10 rounds.

in his other bouts he staged with my Minor, what was said to have been two of the best scraps local fans hare witnessed, une was a in-round affair. Lieut. Schulte is planning on giving tne fans a real Dill next Wednesday night. The setm-wmdup wdl find Hobby McCord. local bantamweight, returning to the fight game aCter an ab sence of more than a year.

Bobby will meet feewee Uowie, tbe "Mj r. battler, in a six-round affair. Bobby is a clever boxer and was a big favorite here several years ago. He wetn to au jouis ana earned a verdict over Benny Mcuovern, who was considered a top-notcher among the bantams, A good preliminary, orobably be tween negro battlers, is being arranged by ueut. ocnuite start tne show.

CHALTAUtUJA AT CAMDEN. Camden, May 27. (Special.) A Chautaufitia to be held here beginning June 7 will offer the following among other attractions: Serge w. o. Mc Brine, lecture on "Readjustment Prob lems;" K.

May 27. (Special.) t'lautle 1 j. sparks, -manager or the Ar kansas Branch of tbe Haizlip Hood Cotton Company ot ureenviue, Miss, Monday bought 2,000 bales of cotton from the Hammett Grocery Company, for which well over Jjju.uw was paid, hut the exact price was not made public.

This is tbe largest deal made here this season. LAinnricaa-Reatriy roses beerr nipped from an airplane at nixtn ana Main streets during the afternoon parade, and which stood in a large vase on a table at the apeaker'a stand during the lecture. The rose were tbe gift ot the Lions -Club. Gels "Bombed" Here. In expressing his thanks, however.

Captain Rickenbacker also voiced his gratification that the bouquet had not been so acurately thrown from th airplane as to strike his own head during the parade. Examination of the bouquet, showed that in order tn give It weight enough to drop straight to tha ground from the rapidly moving plane, two pieces of a steel rocker-arm from the engine of a Curtis machine, weighing two or three pounds, had been tied to it. "Somebody evidently had better Intention than judgment," Captain Rick-enbacked said Monday night, as he examined the bouquet in his room at the Hotel Marlon. "I'm glad the bouquet was verv well aimed. If it had reached the mark with all that steel hanging to it the 'Great Rick' woliid have ended his lecture tour prematurely," he laughed.

The flowers struck the ground near Sixth and Main street, and were relayed lo th flier through the crowd. MACHINERY FOR MILL. Atkins, May 27. (Special.)
