WON NUMEROUS HONORS

Capt. Hobart A. H. Baker OF the
United States Aviation Corps, the ir-
repressible "Hooey" of Princeton foot
ball and hockey fame accidentally was
killed in the fall of his plane at Toul,
France, last Saturday. News of his
death was received here yesterday by
his friend Percy Pyne in a cablegran
from Capt. Francis y. Inglehart, a
member Of Bakers air squadron, the
Fourth Pursuit Group.
1t was the unkind cut Of fate that
Baker should go unscathed through
many desperate air duels during the
war only to meet his death after the
cessation Of hostilities and in the last
fight he was to have made before
leaving for home. Papers ordering the
airman TO return to America at once
were found in his pocket when his
body was picked up
Baker will be buried in France be-
side two other famous American avi,
ators who gave their lives for their
country--Lutbery ana Putnam.
|. The nerve, daring and unCanny skill
that Baker displayed ON Ice and grid
iron in his college dRys he carried
with him in his conquest of the air
and his advancement in the aviation
service was rapid. Iobey entered the
service in May, 1917. On account OF
his previous airplane experience he
was among the first aviators sent tc
France after this country entered the
war. BY the end of the year he had
won the coveted "Tireur d'elite" dis
tinction of his French comrades, his
superb craftsmanship gaining him the
title.
Baker and Edwin NJ. Post. Jr., OF
this city were the first two United
States aviators to he brcvetted from
the highest schools of France. They
were inseparable friends from boyhood
They roomed, together at St. Pau
School at Concord, N. H., and al
Princeton. Together they became
graduate pilots de chasse" from
Avord, Pau and Cazau. The two
stood head and shoulders above the
others in the first assignment OF
American aviators at the French ali
schools and were the only two to &C
through the high and intensive train
ing.
