.V|ATORS RELATE
THEIR EXPERIENCES
Air Scouts With Army In Mexico
Find Their Engines Not
Powerful Enough

COLTMBUS, New Mexico.-Some Of
the unprecedented difficulties Of air
scouting under actual war conditions
were pointed out by Lieut.. T. s.
Bowen, when he was brought to the
military base because Of injuries suf-
fercd at Cassas Grandes.
Rarcfcation of the air at high alti-
tudes is the big obstacle met by the air
scouts chasing villa and his bandit
horde The airmen fiy at about 5000
feet. In the Casas Grandes the altitude
is that. In fight the scouts are moro
than 10000 feet above sea level At
this great height breathing becomes
.liAicult. and bleeding at the ears and
nose is frequent.
Lieut.. Bowen is one of the first
United States army men 10 fly under
actual war conditions. He comes from
Frankfort, Ky. His injuries were suf-
fered when the machine side slipped at
IS feet His nose was broken, and his
face liberated. From his cot in the
hospital Lieut.. Bowen told his story:

Lieut.. Bowen offered criticism of the
plancs in use by the aero corps. He
said they were not powerful enough for
military purposes.
Like a page torn from a book Of TO
nance were the adventures of Lieut..
Robert H. Willis, as related by Bowen.
Willis was lost several days after he
landed in the desert.
FORE OF His Landing Gear
"WilHs was forced TO land on a sand
duff and tore off the landing gear. He
hid in the brush all day. That night

During the night he came upon a

approached to examine his map. Three

'houted to him. Willis jumped down

All night he stayed, shivering and suf-
fering from the cold. All next day he

Lieut.. Bowen added that the airmen

| HAVERFORD. Pa, June 17.-Roy r.
Coffin, of the Germantown Cricket Club
last years interscholastc champion, caused
| an upset by defeating b. d. Walsh, or
Penn Charter, present interscholastic cham
plon, in the semihnal round Of the Phil
adelphla junior championships at Haverford
this morning
The continued rains had soaked the
courts through, and fast tennis was i'm
possible The wet courts bothered Walsh
much more than they did Coffin, for he
slipped and fell time and aga-n IN his ef-
forts to get Cofin's smashes. Walsh got
only four points in the first five games.
Coffin passed him continually at the net,
and on the few occasions when Comm did
come to the net he quickly finished the
point with hard smash Walshs service
was not going well either and his second
ball was so soft that Coffin frequently
scored on the return.
With the score five love against him,
Walsh braced and took his own service,
hut Coffin ran out the set on the next
game without much difficulty. The balls
were soaked through by this time, and only
came a few inches on the ground
Walsh was severely handicapped by his
inability to get into the net and the dlnleulty
in standing up when he got there. Coftin
on the other hand, did dot seem troubled
except by the bad bounces
Starting the second set, Coffin won his op-
ponent's service after a long deuce game on
his own service.
some pretty net work by Walsh brought
him up to two all. Coffin then began COM
ing in to the net more often and scored the
next two games Walsh was not beaten,
however, and again tied the score at all

net At this point he stood a good chance
OF taking the set and prolonging the match

service and led at 6-4 Walsh scored but
one point in the last game. netting an easy
shot on the last point for the match.

was forced to default in doubles and mixed
doubles on account OF sickness yesterday,
