ELieut. Ramey Factop in Army Vie- tory at St. Louis. By a Staff Correspondent. . ST. LOUIS, Mo, October 5.—Ther: is joy and happiness in the Army camp. Much of this cclebration can be identified with the delegation from Washington. whose Bolling Field pilot, Lieut. Howard K. Ramey, a Washingtonian, took second hon- ors ‘in the liberty -engine bullders’ race at the local flying field, fiying {the 186.42 miles, or six times around the course, at an average speed of 137.54 miles per.hour. The remainder of the Army con- tingent {s discussing again _and agaln the victory, of Lieut. Clements McMullen of Biooks Field, Tex., with a speed of 1§9.03 miles per hour, and third place, won by Lieut: L, H. Smith of Crissy Fleld, Calif.

The prizes| were $800, $500 and $200 for three' places, vy Looks to Future. In the Navy camp, where vietory was to have rested. according to the forecasters, the future only is looked } forward to, and the “crack up” of| Lieut. D. C. Allen in the Curtiss| “wasp” " triplane is_regarded as avia- tion hard luck. Lieut. Allen, who hails from the naval air station at Anacostia, was the first to start in the most important race of the day, and as he dashed across the starting line at a good 150 miles an hour vie- tory was conceded him immediately. He soon disappeared and was for- gotten as the other twelve entrants took the air at intervals of a few seconds. Then the crowd that made it its duty to seafch the western hor- izon for incoming ships. saw a dark object which rapidly grew in size.! From ‘the judges stand it appeared to be racing toward the fleld at break- neck speed. when, jurt as it peared the flying fleld it was seen to swerve and quickly dive behind trees to the sround. “The Navy’s out.” went up a | shout and a second later a silver wng | flashed above the tree tops. telling the story of a complete wreck.

McMullen, in his Fokker observation, known as the ‘0-4, had crept up to first place, and mey, who started ninth, was passing Ships that -Went before him. On the last lap only Lieut. McMul- len and Lieut. Hall stood between him and first place. Between the second 2nd third pylon he passed the Marine Corps pilot, but Lieut. McMullen was a little 100 far ahead. At the finish line, instead of zooming up 2,000 fect, circling and landing, Lieut. McMullen banked ‘around. the' pylon and con- tinued around the course for the seventh_lap. On landing he was sur- yrised fo'lédrn that the Na¥y tri- plane had been forced down. and he gave as his reason for making the extra trip-around the course (he de. sire .to catch: up with the “wasp” which, mythically, was pacing him the entire afternoon Lieus | Surrounded by Bolling Field pilots, Lieut Ramey stated that he ,pushed the throttle forward at the start and left it there the entire race.
