ANOTHER ARMY OFFICER AND CORPORAL KILLED BY FALL OF
 35 FEET; DEATH LIST NOW SIX

Washington, September &.-Two more lives were sacrificed to aviation at the United States army aviation field. College Park, Md, today when an army aero- plant fell s5 feet to the ground, instantly killing Corporal Frank S. Scott and so se- .riously injuring Second Lieutenant Lewis C. Rockwell that he died few hours later. Hundreds of people, including fel- low army officers, breathlessly witnessed the accident.
 Lieutenant Rockwell had started up with Corporal Scott as passenger to make a test flight in his trial for a military avi- ators license. They had been in the air about eight minutes. ascending to height of 800 feet, then gliding down. had gotten within about 35 feet of the ground. At this point the aviator turned the machine up- ward again and something went wrong. Instantly the aeroplane buckled and crashed to the ground.
 Scott was hurled several feet from the machine while Rockwell lay few feet away from him. Brother officers found Scott lifeless. Rockwell, with his head buried partly in the earth, still showed signs of life, but was unconscious. He was rushed to a hospital. He never re- gained consciousness.
 Brother officers who witnessed the ac- cident were at loss to account for 1t.
 Capt. Charles Deforest Chandler, com- manding officer of the aviation school, inn mediately convened board of inquiry to make an Investigation. The board will meet next week.
 A single utterance of Lieutenant Rockwell probably brought death to Corporal Scott and saved the life of Cap tain Hennessy. When Rockwell was about to start aloft Captain Hennessy requested that he be taken along as passenger Lieutant Rockwell replied.
 No, you are too heavy" and Corporal Scott was selected to accompany the lieutenant.
 Lieutant Rockwell was regarded as a most careful aviator Three weeks ago he received his certificate as civilian pilot.
 Lieutant Rockwell was the fourth commissioned officer of the United States army to meet death in an avia- ton accident.

ITS UP TO MURPHY,
 SAYS CHANGE

New York, September &.-Frank Chance
 either will be manager of the Chicago Ma
 tional league baseball team next year or
 sever his connection with the team alto
 gether. He declared today before leaving
 for Chicago after reading dispatches con-
 taining the announcement of Charles w.
 Murphy, president of the team, that he
 would not manage the Cubs next year.
 Chance said that while he had told Mur-
 phy in August that, on account of his i'll
 health, he did not wish to manage the
 Cubs another year, Murphy had told him
 he would not take his final answer until after the season closed. Now that he
 had recovered from his recent operation, he added, it was up to Murphy to say whether the contract should Ngain be ten dered him.
 "I did say to Murphy on August 15,' said Chance, that l did not wish to man age the Cubs after this year as my health was so poor that l did not feel able to give him or them my best services. Tn reply to this, Murphy said, would
 rather have you manage them sick than anyone else well. I believe you can be cured and won't take your final answer until after the season closes Since my operation l feel much better. The doctors tell me I win be as good as ever next year. Consequently 1t is up to
 Murphy whether I manage the team next year. However, he must give me either a contract as manager or my absolute re- lease.
 Above all things, if I do continue to manage the Chicago team. I shall con tinue to protect my ball players against unjust accusations as I did when they were champions of the world Chance left for Chicago tonight and in tends to resume his duties as manager of the Cubs for the brief remainder of the season. Physicians confirmed today the first basemans statement that he would
 be able to play the game as well as ever
 next season.
