WASHINGTON, May 25.-
Army flying experts estimate that
more than so per cent of the air.

corps are attributable to personnel
error. the remainder to mechan-

The number of accidents is be-

The fatal-aceident rate has de-

soHze other items, notably the

consideration of new farm legis-

Ben Chapman, the flying CEN
ter fielder of the Griffs, will be
lost to the team for two weeks
or more. Chappie will enter a
local hospital today and have his
tonsils removed. Chappie'S nerve
impingement that hampered his
batting swing, the trouble in his
right arm and his leg cramps have
been traced, he said this morn
ing, to infected, imbedded tonsils.
The diagnosis was made by the
club physician.
Chapman held a conference
with President CLARK c. Griffith
before yesterdays game with the
Detroit Tigers, and the latter
agreed that the players condition
called for the remedy prescribed.
One Of the great defensive ball
players Of this day and age, q
fielder whose forte is going back

man was unable to break on a
triple by Averill and a double by
Solters in the Cleveland series. He
was caught off base because he
could not start quickly.

pie said this morning. 81
haven't been in condition to do
the club any real good, but with
these infected tOnSiES gone, I'll
be all right"
With Chapman out Of action
the center field assignment will be
covered by Jess Hill, who made a
sensational start on the Western
trip. Hill has hoped for a chance
to play regularly for a couple OF
weeks. It has been his contention
that with two weeks of steady
play, he could establish his worth
to the club. He stated repeatedly
that there was little chance of his
developing to the fullest extent OF
his abilities while warming the
bench.
This is Hills golden oppor
tunity, and he will make the most
Of it. The Griffs will lose little in
speed with Hill in center field. He
was a track star during his under
graduate days at Southern Cali
fornia, and both with the Yam
KEGS and here, he has shown sen
sational foot in running down long
drives.

Army And Navy
Clash Thrice
Saturday

ANNAPOLIS, May 24.-Teams
Of the Army and Navy meet in
three sports next Saturday, the
general series between the service
academies being probably the
closest Of any colleges which have
met in a number of sports over
a considerable period of years.
Saturdays meetings in baseball
and track at West Point and In
lacrosse at Annapolis, will bring
the total Of the service engage
ments to los. OF the meetings in
all sports that have already taken
place, the Army has won So, the
Navy IS and there have been seven
drawn contests. The Sailors are
favored in lacrosse game.
At one time, the Army held a
more substantial lead, but in re-
cent years, the Navy has been
gradually reducing the margin
and is now within striking dis
tance of par.
The Navy has won all three Of
the engagements during the pres
ent school year, the meetings be-
ing in football, basketball and
gymnastics.
Athletic relations between the
service schools began with the
football game of 1890 at West
Point. Baseball was next added
to the list and it has been grad
ually heightened. The schools
met in two tennis matches, but
the contest in this line was dropped
for some reason. Gymnastics, in
which but three contests have
been held, is the latest addition to
the list.
Everything points to close and
hard-fought contests in all three
of Saturdays meetings.

That's the reason they haven't

have to do is drive to the right

Incidentally, Grant and Parker
