AERONAUTICS: Brow vs. Williams
A. J. ("Al") 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 ever attained by man.
