Ben T. Epps, for thirty years an aviator, had a close call late Sunday afternoon when the plane he

was piloting crashed just off Lumpkin strect, Mr. Epps sustained a broken hip, while Miss Sylvia
Raskin, Savannah, was instantly killed, and Bernard Freeman, New York city, sustained a broken leg and
broken heel. At the top above, is shown Mr, Epps’ first plane, while at the bottom is shown a later model

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. ¢

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

Englishman Says He Wi
Not Try Again Unti|
Beach Improves.
By EDWARD J. NEIL
Associated Press Sports Writer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. —p
The prince of speed put his son
down all the way today, noi g
the throttle of hard presseq g
Bluebird, but flat on continuane
of record runs on Daytona's Hw,
until the beach definitely .
proves.
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.
