Aircraft were beginning to stream

for use in the vast system of train
ing bases and in combat theaters
of military pilots was not sufficient
to handle ferrying requirements.
Civilian pilots were being intensive
briefing in military procedures,
given planes and told to deliver
them. Women pilots of competence
felt they, too, were capable of aid
ing in relief of the ferrying bottle
neck. After many months nego-
tiation they were permitted to offer
their services.
In the 2712 months Of their en-
ployment on civilian status, women
pilots of the Ferrying Division will
have flown approximately 13,000,000
miles in ferrying operations by
December 20, 1914. They have TAX

Methodists Hold
"Half-Way Supper"

With the first half of the Con-

with a HALLWAY" supper Tues
day night at 700. Following the
supper there was a program based
on the theme, Know Your Church"
during which a review of the first
six months of the year was given
and the program outlined for the
second half of the year. The Rev.

finest women pilots in the United
States At a time when trained
pilots were so much needed these
women who had prior training were
able to speed up the delivery of
much needed aircraft to the foreign
theaters.''
We have now had time to train
an ample number of pilots to carry
on that work. The WASPS were
particularly adept at transporting
the pursuit ships, such at the P-3S.
81 and P-47. These are some Of
our fastest planes. The instru-
ments are very sensitive on these
speedy aircraft and the WASP
pilots were unequalled in their
ferrying missions. 1t is estimated
that of all the pursuit ships that
passed through this station since
its actiyation, that the .WASPS
piloted at least 500 of the num-
ber. "The WASPS are due much
praise for the splendid efforts they
have put forth in this gigantic glo-
bal conflict Their deeds will live
forever in the Air Corp Annals and
will in future years be listed along
with the other great pilots of this
age"
Women pilots of the Ferrying
Division, Air Transport Command,
will leave to American aviation a
legacy of patriotic and creditable
performance when the AAF termi-
mates their employment on Decem-
Der 20, 1914.
On that date, at five Ferry Divi-
sion bases, 140 women will turn in
their flying togs and end an his
toric experiment in American mill
tary aviation.
Deactivation of the WASP (Wo-
mems Airforce Service Pilots), In
the Ferrying Division and in other
AAF organizations, concludes a SER
vice which began September 5, 1912
when the Secretary of War author
lied the Ferrying Division to enlist
group of highly qualified women
pilots for ferrying duties.
That was critical period in the
organization of our armed strength.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Off.) BY JACK CTJDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 9-(UP)-Marse Joe McCarthy's band of Tanks finds that the invasion of hostile ball parks is tough proposition, indeed, this season; and that "D"-Day on the diamond too often stands for defeat.
 In the old days when out-of- town baseball fans sand, "The Tanks are Coming, their voices quavered with trepidation. Not so today, when the "murderless row. from New York is beginning to be regarded as a group of visiting cousins"
 It should be emphasized that this cousin" status has absolutely no connection with the fact that the Yankees president is known as cousin Ed" Barrow. This new re- gard stems rather from 10 defeats suffered in Is games since the champions last enjoyed the sanct- uary of Yankee stadium on May 2l. Nine of these losses came in their last il contests.
 Not So Good
 Due to the unhappy combination of an important outfield and threadbare pitching, the Tanks are making the sorriest road showing since Joe Mccarthy became mana ger. This is his 14th season at the helm.
 The Tanks pitching situation is such that when rookie Joe Page took the mound against the Red Sox at Boston for yesterdays twi- light game, he was the clubs lead- ing hlrler-in the percentage col- umn. Page Is southpaw, but Mo- Carthy virtually was forced to risk him against the Red Sox right handed batting power. The Bosox fell upon the juvenile lefty and had garnered six runs before he was removed in the second inning.
 Despite this big Boston lead, the Tanks rallied with some of their old-time fire; and the two teams went into the ninth, tied at Tall Roy Partee, SoX catcher, then clouted a home run to give Boston an 8-7 victory. It was the third time since May 21 that a ninth inning homer had scuttled the Mo- Carthymen; and 1t was the 27th homer made of Yankee pitching in their 42 games this season. The club that made the home run fa- nous is now having that weapon turned against it-effectively.
 When the Tanks took to the road on May 9, they led the American league by 8 two-and-a-half game margin. Since then they broke even in two games with the White SoX; won two of three from the Browns; lost four straight to the Tigers; broke even fin four with the 1n- dians, and lost two to the Red SoX. Now they are in second place, two games behind the leading Browns.
 All Handicapped
 Only the fact that the rest of the clubs in the circuit have been war weakened almost as much as the Tanks, prevented the New Workers from dropping far down in the standing. Because all eight outfits in the league seem to have been leveled of almost to a par. the pennant race perhaps is the tight est in the divisions history. And the Tanks, despite their current laundering, still have an excellent chance to repeat for the flag; par ticularly if Proxy Barrow-who now has the banlroll out-c can pick up some outfield and pitching talent somewhere.
 Meanwhile the Tanks have three more contests at Boston and four "nighters" at Washington, before returning to their stadium.

 Scovill girls started with a big run splurge and coasted to 2l-6 win over Oakville division misses in the all-Scovill game though the gals from the Vile picked up six runs in the first two innings, which com- prised all their scoring for the game.
 Chase Office girls got three-hit pitching from Ruth Herman and a 6 to win over U. S. Time, while Metal Hose and U. s. Rubber had the closest game of all 6 to 5 won by AMI getting 5 runs in the fourth.
