Maintains That Naval
Air Development Is
Being Hampered By
Policy "Almost Un-
believably" Conserva-
tive.
Thinks Army Organization
Plan Superior-Praises
Young Aviators But Or
poses Separate Air
Corps.

Washington, Oct. IA R,-Rear
Admiral William 8. Sims, who COM
manded American naval forces dur
ing the great war, today pafd his
compliments, In emphatic terms, to
those who are running the navy.
Taking the stand to give his views
to the presidents aircraft board, the
admiral, now retired, starting or by
saying navy air development was be-
ing hampered by policy almost
unbelieably' conservative. He fol-
lowed this up by charging the navy
was being operated by "uneducated
men and that the Daniels cabinet
and Its friends are still In the sad
de-"
SLOW Morale" In Navy.
Low morale" was ascribed by the
admiral to lack of confidence In the
navy's leadership.
Anti-aircraft fire was character
lied as a psychological weapon. In
case of air attack, he said, I'VE make
lot OF noise to relieve the fear OF
the people.
If a pilot has bomb" he added,
he is going to drop 1t. II man is
going to bomb battleship, he will
wait until after sundown and drop II
down the smokestack IL he wants
to-"
The admiral declared that the
army organization, with It's general
STAFF, was vastly superior" TO that
Of the navy and should be adopted
by the latter.
He expressed the highest praise
for young avlators," but opposed
the desire for a unified air seryic,
or separate air corps.
Air Policy Needed.
THE navy" he added, should de-
veiop definite air policy. The men
WHO command fleet air force In
war operations should be thorough
ly educated In the way OF the navy"
Asked If he agreed with Colonel
William Mitchell's plan for a de-
partment of national defense, Sims
said that he did not. "
Mitchell is a bully good fellow"
he said, land deserves a lot OF
praise. He has done a lot Of good
particularly in bringing the question
Of aviation before a board like this"
Sims insisted that the navy air
force should be continued In its pres
ent status, asserting that naval fliers
must "be trained In the ways of the
navy"
He asserted that II bombs were
placed close enough to a vessel they
would make a hole so big that the
largest pine tree In America
couldn't plug 1t up."

SEVENTH GAME POSTPONED AS
RAIN PELTS DOWN ON CROWD:
LANDIS STICKS OUT TO LAST
LOST ON MOUNTAIN
IN new HAMPSHIRE
Little Hope of Finding
Missing Man Alive on
Mt. Washington

Gorham, N. H. Oct. IA R - A
searching party on snowshoes left
the Glen House in Pinkham Notch
today for Tuckerman's Ravine on
Mount Washington to search for
Max Englehart, believed to have
been lost on the mountain. There
was little hope of finding him alive.
Englehart, who came here from
New Brunswick, worked all summer
in the Fitchen at the Glen House.
Two weeks ago he went to the sum-
NIT Of Mount Washington to serve
as caretaker for the old stage office,
where he was to give shelter and
food to automobile parties until the
close of the automobile season late
this week.
Snow came early, as 1t usually
does on the mountain, but in great
er quantity than is customary at this
season. Last Saturday there was a
heavy fall accompanied by a terrific
gale. A note found in the building
where Englehart had been staying
alone said that he left for Tucker
mans Ravine at 12 o'clock" on that
day.
Searching parties yesterday found
few footprints in the snow a hun
dred feet below the summit, near
the handwall of the precipice over
which leads the perilous trail to the
ravine. Elliott c. Libby. manager of
the Glen House, who accompanied
the searchers, said it was the general
opinion that although Englehart had
spent winters in the woods in New
Brunswick and British Columbia as
a trapper. he must have lost his
nerve In the mountain blizzard.
HE must have gone crazy" said
Libby, ito attempt the raVine trail
when he could have made his way
down the road without much trou-
BILE. He had enough food in the
cabin to last him two weeks and
plenty of wood for fuel to keep him

slopes leading up to the ravine."

New York, Aug Il P-Fighting pluck of the callbcr which brought them over the hurdles of four con- secutive drives to National league championships has famed the smouldering embers of New York s resistance to the Pittsburgh pennant gallop.
 Crippled by q succession of in juries to their regular intielders and bruised by jolts at St. Louis and Cincinnati which hurled them five games behind the pace, the Giants came back yesterday in the face of disaster and stung the Pirates a 2-l defeat in the first game of four game series.
 Lee Meadows, pitching ace of the leaders, flung the game full into the laps of the invading host in the heat of conflict with wild pitch. Close behind the heave went Ross Young from second base with what proved the winning run of a gripping mound duel between Meadows and Jack Scott.
 The victory did more than lift McGraw's desperate club back to half games of the leaders. IL res- cued the champions, temporarily at least, from threatening flank movement on the part of Cincinnati, for while the Giants were getting back into winning gait, the Brook lyn Robins were wrestling loose from d losing streak of their own and were flooding Zealand with q deluge of 31 hits for q twin tri- umph. 7-3 and 13-7. Cincinnati's setbacks detoured them four games from second place trail.
 Lee Meadows was not the only pitcher who couldn't tame tine tru- ant curve yesterday. Jimmy Ring $ wildness in the early inning gave St. Louis a decision over the Phillies, , to 3. while Milstcad couldn't keep his benders out of reach of Boston bats and the Braves took @ decision over the Chicago Cubs, to 3.
