...Williams, U. S. Naval flier, formerly a pitcher of the New York Giants, beat Lieutenant H. J. Brow of the Navy in the Pulitzer Air Race at St. Louis (TIME, Oct. 15). He established a record of 243.67 miles an hour. Last week the two men, who are cronies, determined to settle the matter once more. They set out at Mitchel Field, L. I., and, taking the air alternately, they bettered each other's records six times in succession in the course of two days. Williams held it at the end, with 266.68 miles an hour-the fastest speed...
...World's Record a day is not nearly enough for the Navy. Lieutenants Williams and Brow have been indulging in a friendly game of record-smashing which is as close as the most rabid fan for races could wish. At the present time both of these gentlemen have to their credit the feat of travelling at the rate of four and a half miles a minute, and both accomplished this on the same...
...quelling her inconquerable tongue would be to administer the medicine of a certain doctor in Shaw's play. "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife". It will be remembered that this learned physician unloosed the lady's tongue, and since from then on it was never still, the brow-beaten husband had the doctor tie it up again. But such benign doctors only lived in the Middle Age or in Shaw's imagination. Therefore the one hope remaining to Phillipsburg is that tht Damocletian sword of suspended sentence will shortly fall and that the minions of the law with cotton...
...Mark Kent is wonderful as a brow-beaten, nervous wreck, while Viola Roach, as Mrs. Valentine, is convincing in her indication of how his ruin was accomplished. Except in her sterner moments, Miss Roach's very laugh causes one's hair to stand on end; how Walter Gilbert and Edward Dauney, who are Mr. Paradee and the lawyer, respectively, manage to conceal their agony, and in fact, actually seem to enjoy her fooleries is miraculous. Everything must be forgiven, however, for Mr. Kent's sake. He is not the only good thing about "Rose Briar" by a long shot...
Lieutenant A. J. ("Al") Williams, formerly pitcher for the New York Giants, won the Pulitzer Race (at St. Louis) in a Curtiss-Navy racer at an average speed of 243.67 miles per hour over the triangular course of 200 miles. Lt. H. J. Brow in a similar machine averaged 241.78 and Lt. L. H. Sanderson of the Marine Corps flying a Navy-Wright plane of 750 horsepower was third with a speed of 230 miles per hour. Of the seven picked entries, the three Navy pilots won the first three places. Not a casualty or even a broken wire marked...
