At the top above, is shown Mr, Epps’ first plane, while at the bottom is shown a later model plane, and two of his children, Misy Evelyn and Ben, jr. This picture was taken when Ben, jr., was 14 yearg old, and was being hailed as the country’s youngest pilot. PILOT BEN T. EPPS AND STUDENT HURT IN FALL SUNDAY P.M. paie / (Continued From Page One) child, hag made flights. Ben‘Epps. Jr., some years ago was the young est pilot in the nation, flying a plane when he was 14 years old. Mr. Epps seems to bear a charmed life, since he has escap ed with his life from two crashes from which fatalities resulted. On both occasions, however, he has suffered serious injuries, once be ing confined for weeks to a hos pital bed. His hip injury, receiv ed in this latest crash, however, is not considerec serious by hos pital atiaches unless something unforseen occurs. Following are some of the ver sions of the accident: K. O. Franks, former boxing promoter, and U. 8. Army man, was one of the few who saw the plane go into the spin and the actual crack-up. Otheérs saw the plane plunged behind trees and heard the crgsh as it struck the ground. Franks said he was coming across the Y. M. C. A. athletic field when he heard the airplane motor, and looked up. “When I first noticed the plane it was circling, and I thought the pilot was stunting. After making its second circle, however, the ship nosed over and started spin ning to the ground. 1 started running, and was within 100 yvards of the scene when the ship crashed. “When the plane started its spin I heard the motor pop twice. It sounded like an automobile baekfiring. The plane came almost straight down,” he said. Reached Plane Early “I was one of the first to reach the plane, and helped get the pas sengers out. 1 picked up Free man’s - wrist watch from the ground. It had stopped running at 5:51, carried it home, agpd cleaned the blood from it, and it began to .rum again.” He said he planned to turn the watch over to university sauthorities. Another who arrived at the wreck in time to- help get the injured from the pane was John' Gordon, a qniversity student. John said he ~was riding on Lumpkin street when the plane went into a tail spin and started down. He said that Arnold Rob ertson and Hamlin Tappan were with him. “We heard the plane, and look ed up just as the pilot cut the motor.” said John. “We saw im mediately that it was going to crash, and started towards the place where it ‘looked ds thougm it would hit. ‘ Helped in Rescue 1 “We arrived in time to help drag Mr. Epps and the other twu; Arom the wreck. It looked as though Mr. Epps was still con scious, athough he did not say anything,” John, like "all other eye-wit nesses, said the plane came almost straight to the ground after itl started its spin. He said that the ;plane was about 300 feet in the! air, when the motor was cut. | ! G ¥. Hulsey, U. S. cavalry man who lives about 100 vards from the field where the plane fell, told the Banner-Herald how the plane went into the spin, but said he did not see the actual crash, although he heard the noise. ¢ , “I was in my backyvard when I ’hgard the plane, and looked up.

(MENTHOLATUM | | Ouster As Card Manager A Sad Blow To Branch Rickey (This is the 'sixth of 12 ar ticles on the Smartest Man in Baseball—Branch Rickey, the brain behind the world cham pincship St. Loujs Cardinals.) By HARRY GRAYSON Sports Editor, NEA Service _ Being ousted as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in favor of Rogers Hornsby while the club was on the road in midseason, 1925, was a sad blow to the pride of the spirited Branch Rickey. It branded Rickey as a failure as a handler of players and di rector of play. The theorist's shortecomings as a leadér seemed to be stressed by the athletes ral lying around Hornsby, and, pre senting an harmonious gnd united front, sweeping from the cellar to fourth place. ! Everybody was positive that something had been wrong with the managément and Hornsby was hailed as a wonder marker when he presented St. Louis with the first of jts five pennants and three world championships in 1926. What hurt Rickey was the man ner of his dismissal by President Sam Breadon. MHe seriously had congidered stepping down as man ager at the conclusion of the cam paign of 1924. | Championship Club on Field ~ As B. R. points out, the cham pionship array of 1926 was on the field when Hornsby assumed com lmand—-—Hornsy himself, O'Farrell, Bottomley, Thevenow, Lester Bell, Holm, Toporcer, Flowers, South worth, Douthit, Hafey, Hallahan, Sherdel, Haines, Rhem, Herman Bell, Reinhart and Keen, and the final touch was added to the pitch ing corps when the Chicago Cubs shipped Grover Cleveland Alexan der down the river. The club, heavily in debt only a short while before, now had nine minor league franchises un der itg direction, and the pick of perhaps 300 players, So, admitting that perhaps Hornsby's driving methods were more productive of satisfactory results than his own, Rickey re mained gs vice president and gen eral manager of the Cardinals, and commenced devoting all of his life and attention to vast farm sys tem and the organization as a whole. “ Rickey made his bow as a man ager by replacing George Stovall as head of the St. Louis Browng in 1918. The club finished eighth. With no additional strength, the Browns made their best showing in geveral seasons in finishing fifth in 1914, after fighting for first place and remaining in the upper strata for the first half of the grind. The Browns would up sixth in 1915, and Fielder Jones took charge when the club was sold to Philip de Cateshy Ball as part of the peace setilement be tween the majors and the Federal League. Rickey's Record as Card Pilot Under Rickey, the Cardinals pulled up seventh in 1919, gnd tied the Cubs for fifth place the fol lowing autumn. They made their ;best'xshowings in 1921 and 1922, ;w-hen they finished third. The Crimson [(Canaries hogged down to fifth place in 1923, with Hornsby unable to perform regu larly a good deal of the time, and ran sixth in 1924 There perhaps never was 2a smarter baseball manager than Rickey as far as theory was con cerned, but somehow he mnever could get his men to play up to his gystem. It was said that he had too ’mang signals—that his players had to put up their hands to go to first base. Rickey remained collegiate after leaving college, and perhaps was ltoo striect a disciplinarian. ~ B. R. came in for a good deal of criticism from some of the old timers bécause of what he was and what he stood for. He was re garded as a “Sunday school guy.” Bert Shotton was the Sunday manager of both the Browns and Cardinals while Rickey was at their helm. Rickey’s strongest ex pletive was “Judas Priest”. He was a teetotaler. | Some old-timers resented Rick ey’s university degrees. They were‘ inclined to ridicule his efforts to produce in professional baseball some of the idealism of amateur athletics. They disliked his meet ings, lecturers, classes, blackboard. | charts and diagrams. ; B. R’s Plan Too Complicated As Bobby Wallace fears, Rickey’s mistake was laboring under the belief that 11 of his players were 'as smart as he was. Branch had ‘a sign for everything, and was a ‘marvel of getting those of the op - position. “When I player with the Browns under Branch Rickey, our club knew the hit and run sign, tne signal for a steal, the waste ball sign, as well as practically every other signal used by our rivals vet somehow we didn’'t get any where,” says Wallace, who was one of the foremost shortstops. Rickey shifted his lineup at the slightest provocation. He played hunches. He threw substitutes into the game with reckless abandon. He removed regulars in a slumpi on the slightest excuse. He was charged with yanking pitchers too S e T RS = e o Harold McSpaden Second In Scoring For. This Year, It |ls Shown.

That might possibly be {odays on the low tide at 1:07 p. 1. . or it might be 25 years from noy but hot or cold, high water or 1 the big blue thunderwagon .~m; in the garage until there is po danger of Bir Malcolm Campbell's eyeballs flying out, his head get ting torn away by the wind, jt;un ces breaking straps that hold him lin the cockpit and hurling him into the mneighboring ocean, The slim Englishman, who wil stand just So much of anything including behind-the-hand heck ling of local officials who insist on telling him what he's doing wrong, and swivel chair athletes who hold their hats at 20 miles an hour, raced once down the heach yes | terday. He hit 270 miles gn hour, a shade under the record, but for the second straight day he wuas in trouble all the way. Saturday when he ran 205 miles an hour, shooting for his two yea old record of 272.108, the cowling broke looge on both sides of his motor, and he was nearly gassed by fumes that poured into his cockpit. Yesterday, the beach was 8o rough that half the time his head was jounced above the level of his windshield, the pressure nearly scalping him. His goggles were driven down over his nose and mouth, almost choking him, he skidded after a bump and swerved badly after another; his tires were cut, and the tread was torn completely from one of them. Even so, a return run north which he refused to make under the con ditions, would have return him a new record if he could have clip ped .17 seconds of his southward time through the measured mile. So today Sir Malcolm, smiling gently to all but very firm, called & halt. £ “I won't drive Bluebird again until the beach is considerably bet ter,” he said.
