ice to the Capital was concerned.
Cars drawn by horses brought pas
sengers as far as Brightwood. They
had to make the rest of the trip to
Takoma Park on foot, following short
cut paths through the woods. The
first railroad station was at Lamond,
and was finally moved to Takoma
Park and established there as the
central depot.
If YOU visit Takoma Park pe sure
to make a trip to the spring at the
junction of Elm and Poplar streets.
This 20O-year-old spring has a, flow OF
bout two gallons a minute. No water
in all Maryland can SurpasS Its output
in chemical purity. The spring has
been moderized and piped to the curb
side, where it runs clear and cold
through bubble fountains.
Far back from the banks of the
Sligo, In the depth of the darkest
woods, there was once cave even
today mentioned in children's stories
as the "cave Of the runaway slave" :"
Once a rough rock cave In that neigh
borhood was used as a refuge by a
Virginia slave who escaped from his
master.
The stories and legends in Takoma
Park are many and varied, for this
41-year-old suburb is the offspring of
a historic section of Maryland.

the riddle of mass formation. All

other communities.
YES, citizen service clubs have

 MANY ATHLETES

NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (P-Death took many prominent figures from the world of sports in, 1925, chief among them being Christy Mathe- son, beloved "Bix Six" of baseball, and Walter Camp, father of foot ball."
 These two men were dominant in their separate fields of athletic in terest, Mathewson having run the whole gamut of diamond fame from playing star to major league club presidency. Camp long was an out standing factor in the development of the grdiron sport, in addition to which he gave to it an unique insti- tution in the All-American team.
 Both of these men died suddenly and at somewhat dramatic moments. Camp passed away in his hotel room in New York while his associate were waiting for him to attend a meeting of Football Rules Commit tee. Mathewson died at Saranac Lake, N. Y., as the worlds series opened in Pittsburgh, date mark ing the ewtntieth anniversary of the 1905 championship games in which Mathewson achieved his greatests fame as a pitcher.
 Baseball ranks particularly were hard hit by death during the year. One of the most picturesque and popular figures among the club own- CTS passed away in the person of Charles H. Ebbets, Brooklyn pres ident. A fortnight later, one of his partners, Edward J. McKeeyer, vice. president of the club, also died.
 Mathewson, Ebbets and McKeever were among thirteen baseball fig lres whose memories Were honored in appropriate services during the annual league sessions hers.

 Football recorded more than score of deaths turnout the country during the college and school season, notable among them being Charles Prior, star Lehigh quarterback.
 Boxing had it's ranks depleted in the death of Rancho Villa, worlds flyweight champion, following an op- eration at San Francisco. Pepper Martin, well known junior light weight, died of pneumonia in New York; Mickey Shannon, light heavy weight boxer, was killed by fall in a bout at Louisville and Battling Sii, picturesque Senegalese and for mer light heavyweight champion, met violent end in New York.
 Track athletics lost two former heroes in Myer Prinstein of New York, ex-soldier of worlds record and Olympic honors in broad jump ing, and Emilio Lunghi, famous Ital- ian middJe distance runner.
 Other athletic notables claimed by death included Joe Fogarty, Yale basketball coach; Jock Caldwell of Atlanta, former Southern tennis champion; and Mrs. Lizzie Reid, the first woman golf player in America and widow of John Reid, who intro duced the game in this country and taught it to Andrew Carnegie and John D.

DEATH SOLVES
YSTERY OF
RUSSIAN SPY
Famous Empioye of Car Dies
in Berlin; Long Sought
by Soviet Officers

Berlin, July 15.-lP)-The mystery
about Eugene Asew, famous spy of
the late Car of Russia, has been
solved by Arthur Kneupffer, accord
ing to his revelations in the Berliner
Tageblatt. To the world at large
Eugene Asew was known as one Of
the principal leaders of the Russian
revolution, until he was finally un-
masked by the Russian historian,
vladimir Burzew, as a secret Rus
sian agent and as such revolution
airy instigator.
At secret revolutionary tribunal
held by the leaders of the branch
association Of emigrants in London
IN 1909, Asew was sentenced to death.
The condemned spy, however, was
not to be found anywhere, despite
the most diligent search by the secret
Russian societies in all countries. He
seemed to have vanished into space.
1t now has been learned that Asew
died in Berlin in 1918 He lived for
time in the west end Of Berlin under
the assumed name Of kerl Neumayer.
Equipped with passport he travelled
through the near East of
Europe, continually fearing discovery
by the powerful secret organizations
Of Russia. He then disappeared in
the German provinces, travelling from
one small town to another.
In 1915 Asew was arrested in Berlin
as suspicious Russian. In response
to his request, he was not put into
an internment camp but was kept in
various prisons. After the peace of
Brest- Litowsk he was set free and
died soon after from general col
lapse. In his position as secret agent
for the Car, Asew was obliged to
remain member of the secret rev.
dictionary organization until he was
discovered to be a bona fide agent
by the police. 1t was his duty even
to assume leading role in establish
ing revolutionary reign of terror
and then to denounce some revolu-
tionary coup to the police shortly
before its cOnsummation.
Kneupper characterizes Asew as
one of the most dramatic characters
Of the last rs years Of Russian his

THE RECORD GAME

The 10 battle didn't quite equal
the major league record. however.
For back in 1918, Washington and
Chicago played an lsinnlng con-
test, the former FINALLY winning by
the same count the Yankees whipped
the Macks.
That battle Of seven years ago
stands as the longest of modern
times wherein but Il single run was
scord. In 1882, Providence trimmed
Detroit by a similar count. But
that of course was III the so-called
"old days"
The longest scoreless game, on
record in the majors was played by
Detroit and Washington on July l6,
1909, at Detroit.
II memory serves correctly, Eddie
Summers hurled the entire game for
the Tigers that hot afternoon. He
was opposed by Bob Groom and
Dolly Gray. The tilt was finally
called on account of darkness.
