THE WAR OF SKY AND SEA

lordy battle of the sky and is to be staged by the United States army and navy in June. All types of airplanes and balloons. including many Martin bomb ers will be assembled at Langley Field Va, and will set upon a O war.
 Those who contend that the batteship is still the bulwark of first line defenses and those who think aircraft has been sufficiently perfected to justify the sigent of all the superdreadnoughts to the jkheap will have here the practical test and combat of their theories It is remndfu of the days of the Monitor and her classic encounter with the Merrimac From wood to iron to steel has been process of evolution shpbld ing, all within about century, that has changed the tire of navigation If the time is coming when winged ships will carry the worlds cargOes above the their surface it is well to herald the development and to prepare for it.
 Certainly no warlke attitude need be in the de- termination of the army and navy to give bombing thorough accurate tryOut Everyone wants them to keep abreast of the times, land and in the air.

ON MOTHERS PLEA
Anna Katherine Green, Novel

American pilots. has quit flying for
ever. he announced to-day as he made
ready to establish an automobile sales
record.
No fear OF the perils Of the air. but
the pleading Of his mother. Anna
Katherine Green Rohlfs. famous as a
writer of detective stories. caused him
to leave the hazardous but fascinating
flying game.
For several years Mr.. Rohlfs's wife
has begged him TO give up flying. but
It was only recently that his mother
also asked him to stay on the ground.
Although only about 26, Rohlfs Is an
old pilot and has had eight narrow
escapes from death that he knows of
and probably more that cannot be
reckoned. AS test pilot for the Cur
tiss company 1t was his duty to try
out various new models which never
had been in the air This work is the
most hazardous in the realm OF avia-
ton.

him TO leave his Job as an automobile
salesman he said he would become man.

pany or take some other position on the
ground end of the flying game.
Rohlfs made his worlds altitude rec
ord on September IS. 1919. when. in a
Curtiss triplane called the Wasp he
reached an altitude OF 32.450 feet over
Long Island. The next spring this rec
ord was beaten by his friend, Major r.
w. Schroeder OF the American Air Ser
vice.
About two months ago Mr. Rohfs
worked out a plan for reaching the
summit OF Mount Everest in the Hima-
layas the worlds highest mountain. by
soaring to 29.002 feet, the summit. and
simply stepping off rope ladder on 10
the summit The winds at such height
blow with a velocity of between one
hundred and two hundred miles an hour

would be possible virtually to hover over
heading the machine into the wind. This

by the pilot in an article In THE NEw

Mrs. Robert Leroy Loses
in Montclair Net Final

After two OF the closest sets Of the
tournament Mrs. Robert lie Roy. cup
holder. was forced to acknowledge de-
feat at the hands OF Miss Clare Cassel
in the final Of the Moniciair Athletic
Club tennis tournament yesterday. II
was a fitting climax to the tourney. for
the women were very evenly matched
and the margin OF victory was small.
7-5. Sc. A slight shift in fortune
easily might have reversed the result,
the victory in each set really hanging on
n stroke or two after the score had gone
to deuce. A large gallery showed it's APP
probation of some hard hitting, skilful
tennis.
IN the long run. IL was Miss Cassel's
greater versatility that won for her.
Both women were prevented by the ex-
cessive heat from showing at their best
speed, but they played earnestly. fought
for every point and did not hesitate TO
race after shots that looked untakable.
Both made sparkling recoveries that
bordered on the marvellous AS usual. IL
was ALL back court with Mrs. lie Roy,
and her steadiness at ehatp deep driving
was marked. As a matter Of fact.

WOmen's Tennis Ranking
Is Revised Considerably
Miss Marie Wagner Loses Three Places in New Ma
tional List for 1920-Miss Ballin, Mrs. Lynch
and Others Advance.
BY SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

After long deliberation the women's
advisory committee of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association, of which Mrs
George w. Wightman Is chairman, an
nounced yesterday a revised national
ranking of women tennis players for
the season Of 1920. Although the orig
inal ranking occasioned considerable dis
cussion at the annual convention in Feb
ruary and was referred to the women
committee for consideration. the ques-
ton OF possible revision long had been
forgotten by leading women players, and
the news will come as decided surprise
to many OF them-a welcome surprise
to those whose rating has been boosted.
an unwelcome one perhaps to those who
find lower position In the ranking list
Undoubtedly the women's committee
found good reason for the revisions af-
ter a reconsideration OF the tournament
data OF 1920, but 1t is to be regretted
that the announcement was delayed un-
til after the ranking list had been pub
lished In the official annual tennis guide.
Ii is understood that the women COM
mittee members have found it difficult
to arrange the meetings that would be
convenient for all concerned.
There Is no change in the first six
places as originally listed. but Miss Ma
moved back to No. 10, being passed by
Miss Helene Pollak (now Mrs. Edwin
A. Falk). Miss Edith Sigourney and
Miss Florence Ballin. The latter ad-
vances from fourteenth place to ninth.
Miss Marguerite Davis OF Kansas City
has gained five places In the list. going
from seventeenth to twelfth, Miss Leslie
Bancroft of Boston has been shifted
from twelfth to thirteenth and Miss
Margaret Grove from tenth to four
Perhaps the biggest change OF all af-
fects the rating of Mrs. Edward ".

pion. who is at No. 1e instead OF No. n.
Miss Molly d. Thayer Of Philadelphia
has dropped from thirteenth to seven
teenth place. but Mrs. Rawson Wood
has advanced from twenty-ninth position
TO No. 10. Several players not included
in the original ranking are named on
the revised list. They are Miss Caroma
wInn and Miss Lillian Scharman Of
New York, Miss Evelyn Seavey OF Kan
sas City and Miss Mayme Macdonald. a
Western girl. whose work last year the
