MOOSE DEFEAT ELKS, WINNING BY 8-4 SCORE
Bills Throw Game Away in Fourth Inning After
 Having Good Lead

The Moose took advantage of Aviation Day at the ball lot last night, and defeated the Elks by a score of 8 to 4. The Bills infield made two or three balloon ascen- sions which should qualify them for entry in the next Bennett Cup Race.
 The Bills started the fourth frame with a three-run lead, the score being to l. When the frame ended the Moose were on the long end of 5 to tally sheet and in creased their advantage as the game progressed.
 What the Fans Saw
 Neither team could score in the first frame. Both sides went out in order. The Bills started their making in the second.
 Brownie started the second by rolling down the alley to short Manager Vale dug the pill out of F the dirt and planted it against the sign boards back of first base and Brown tip-toed to second on the heave. Jack Schmitz rolled another one down the same alley with the same result and Brown crossed the rubber with the first score, Jack resting at second. Red Shaw backed up on three out-curves and was close enough to the bench to sit down. Orme popped up to Junge and Nello took care of Kearney's fly to left field. I run, no hits.

Bill Schmitz put one up in the air which Big Mac got under. Holl- man worked Koski for a pass to first. Kilowitch waived at three high and wide ones Managan, without chalk or tip, pushed the end of his cue against the ball and it rolled safe between third and short. His Umps surprised Nello by informing him he had struck out. No runs, hit.

 Koski started the third with Q single to left field Molly could not connect so returned to the bench. Big Mac advanced Koski to third with a clot over first base. Rob- erts fielded Martins grounder and and tagged Big Mac at second. With Koski on third and Buddy on first, Brownie planted one out among a million dollars worth of autos park ed in right field and made a cir cult of the bases-driving Koski and Buddy in ahead of him. Jack Schmitz fouled out to Killowitch 3 runs, 3 hits.
 The Moose chalked up one in their half. This time Manager Vale planted the pill over the gar den wall back of center field. Bud dy Martin hurdled the fence, whip ping the ball to third to head off Vale, who was exceeding the speed limit, but third baseman Kearney made no effort to interfere with Vales progress and he continued his journey home. Roberts hit through short for safety and was forced out at second by Junge. Pete Schmitz singled over second, but through an act of brotherly love Brother Bill hit to Brother Jack who fielded the ball and tagged brother Pete on his way to station No. 2.

BETTER A|RPLANE
COMPASS DEVISED
Declared Simpler, Lighter and
More Accurate Than Any
Previously Produced.

Development Of a new type of air.
plane magnetic compass, said to be sim
pier, more accurate and lighter than
any yet produced, was announced by
F. P. Wills of the marine and aircraft
department, General Electric Co., at the
aeronautical meeting of the Society of
Automotive Engineers this week. O.
This compass is said to weigh only
one-flfth to one-sixth as much as the
earth inductor, this decrease in weight
adding at least one-half horsepower to
the useful work of the engine.
Development of the compass was un-
dertaken in the research laboratory
of the General Electric Co. at the re-
quest Of officers at the Army Air Corps
laboratory, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio,
as means Of overcoming some Of the
disadvantages Of the earth inductor.
Among the disadvantages of the earth
inductor type, as listed by Army ex-
pertS and which, it Is claimed have
been overcome by the new compass,
are the requirement of q universal
Joint, the small amount of current
which could be generated, communication
difficulties, complicated and costly con-
Struction and the fact the device is
subject to all the acceleration errors Of
an ordinary magnetic compass.
The magnetic compass, perfected by
DR.. j. D. Tear, has emerged from the
laboratory and test bench stages and
Is being tried out in the air, Mr.. Wills
said. SO far, he stated, 1t has not de-
veloped any faults of fundamental

RESEARCH WORKERS
FORM FLYING CLUB
Aero Men at Bureau of Standards
Expect to Be Pilots Before
End of Summer.

Aeronautical research workers at the
Bureau of Standards have organized
their own flying club and expect to
emerge from ground and flying schools
as full fiedged pilots before the end
of the Summer. The organization is
known as the Bureau of Standards
Flying Club and the members are re-
ceiving their flying instruction at the
airport of Mount Vernon Anyways, Inc,
just south of Alexandria, Va.
The club now has IL members but
hopes to increase its enrolment to
approximately rs within the next few
weeks. Present members of the club
are C. s. Bruce, president; J. L. Endi-
colt, vice president: Victor L. Lowe,
secretary treasurer; Miss Johanna
Busse, S. Small, M. H. Mills, r. G.
Kennedy, C. Faick, H. C. Morris, C.
G.. Waller, c. D. Shepard and w. c.
Smith.
The students expect to go through
rigorous ground course at the bureau,
where experts in virtually every phase
of aeronautics are :. on duty. The
course they have mapped out will be
more complete than any ground school
course customarily given to pilots.

ACOSTA ASKS AID
FOR AIR TRANSPORT
Suggests Award of Annual
Trophy to Help Develop
ment of Carriers.

Establishment of an aerial Transports
ton trophy for yearly competition as
means of improving air transport
work throughout the country has been
suggested by Bert AcoSta, winner of
the Pulitzer Trophy in 1921, and of
the worlds endurance record in 1927,
who now is engaged in the airplane
manufacturing business.
Airplane speed, altitude and endur-
ance records are all very well In their
place, Acosta believes, but the time has
come when other qualities should be
recognized as well.
Transportation Development.
1.-THE American people want to fly
and they want to make their air voy-
ages with speed, precision and safety"
AcoSta said. Furthermore, the de-
mand for air freight is growing daily
and so far this is being very poorly
taken care of. AL this stresses the
fact that now We must develop air
transportation to the point where 1t
con be used by all the people.
''The air industry is going through
the same phase as the automobile in
dustry did 20 years ago. People
bought cars that had won important
the Vanderbilt Cup race was the one
that was most popular for the follow
ing year. The same will be true OF
the airplane industry. The planes
which make the best records for air
transportation work are the ones that
are going to have the call on the market
and they will be the ones that the air
passengers will patronize.
Understanding this, it seems to me
that it is time for a transportation
trophy to be offered for yearly compe-
tition. The organization able to show
the best years record for the various
that comprise successful air
transportation would win the trophy.
Many Qualifications Needed.
ga number Of qualifications would
enter into the contest and the judges
would have to take them all into con-
the planes making the best
combined showing being the winners.
The various factors to be considered
would include the number of passen-
gers carried, the number of miles flown,
the adherence to time schedule. the
economy of operation, the speed of
transit and the safety of the operations.
Some one with the welfare of the
American air industry at heart ought
to offer this transportation trophy just
as the Pulitzer Trophy was offered years
ago for speed. There are thousands of
Americans who wish to see our country
lead the world In the air and this is
an opportunity for these public-spirited
citizens"

SUNDAY AIR MAILS
TO SOUTH PLANNED
Heavy Increase in Patronage
Brings New Schedule, Eff
fective May 5.

As a result Of increases in the amount
Of airmail posted along the Atlantic
Coast, regular Sunday trips to supple
ment the daily schedule on the airmail
line between New York and Atlanta,
passing through this city, will go into
effect Sunday, May 5, 1t has been an
nounced by Pitcairn Aviation, Inc,
operators of the route. The increased
schedule will take care of the adj
dition only temporarily, and further ex-
tensions will have to be made before
long, it is anticipated.
Since the New York-Atlanta airmail
run was inaugurated in May, 1928,
there has been a 200 per cent increase
in airmail poundage. During the first
month of operation, 1922 pounds were
carried, while the unofficial figure for
March of this year was 25,297. Last
month 1925 pounds were borne over
the new Pitcairn airmail route be-
tween Atlanta, Tampa and Miami, Fla.
The Pitcairn lines connect at Miami
with routes flown by Pan-American
Anyways, Inc, to Cuba, Haiti, the Do
minican Republic, Porto Rico, Bahama
Islands, Mexico, Central America and
