PHILADELPHIA. September O.
Washington crack airmen of the
Navy and Marine Corps kept large
crowd of air-race spectators from
getting home yesterday afternoon,
disgusted with airplane competitions.
The fourth day Of the National air
meet held very little by way of en-
tertainment, and a good sized crowd
had assembled for thrills. one or
two commercial races were flown, but
this meant very little to blase spec
tators who expected sporting affair.
Along about o'clock, the day
saving birdmen came TO the fore. The
first event was not planned. A Marine
Martin bomber from QGantico came
in over the crowds down wind, rolled
and rolled until it struck an obstruc-
tion at the far end pf the field and
nosed up. SerSt. H. r.. Jordan Of the
first aviation group at Quantico. the
pilot, received broken rib.
Word flashed over at, the navy
yard that serious crash" had oc-
.urred and Lieut. George r. Cuddihy
of the naval air station at Anacostia
leaped into a DH, accompanied by
a Navy doctor who wore no goggles
or helmet, and sped over TO the
Model Farm field. He was able to
render assistance.
Circle Around Girl.
Then six speedy Boeing pursuit
planes from Quantico, gaudily painted
in red and yellow. dashed up and
down the line. emitting ear-spliting
roars and sending the crowd into
ecstacy. They kept this up for about
half an hour. While going through
the maneuvers. they spied a beau
tiful girl dressed in white one
piece bathing suit sitting on a
chair right out in front OF the
audience, with no signs about her
or anything to indicate what she
represented, or what was the pur-
pose of the exposure. Three of the
Boeings, flown by Lieut.. Lawson II.
Sanderson, Lieut.. G. F. Schilt and
Lieut.. W. l.. Mckittrick, continued
to circle around this beauty ct

had witnessed. His plane was fitted
