RAINIER SEASON ENJOYED BY BETHESDA-CH
Team Record
Is Tops For
School
BY GARRETT WATERS

The most successful season in
the history of the school.
That's what the Bethesda Chevy
Chase diamonders have to say
today in reviewing the 1896 base
ball campaign recently ended.
The Suburbans played a 15-
game schedule. Ten Of these
clashes were put on the right side
of the ledger. Now, this was quite
an achievement when one looks
back at Bethesda Chevy Chase
teams Of the past.
Three most important victories
were rung up in this record. One
was against Eastern High, 1885
interhigh champs. Another was
over Western High, which COPIED
the title this year, while a third
was over Montgomery-Blair. This
latter victory enabled the BetheS-
dams to finish the campaign in a
tie for the county championship.
Loris Williams coached the
BetheSdans. He developed sew
eral promising ball players, two
in particular being Harland Crow
ell, big right-handed pitcher, and
Bill Morell, second baseman, the
latter a real conner, in Williams
opinion.
Putnam Big Star
The big veteran on the team
was Woody Putnam, outfielder
and pitcher. Woody did a great
job in both positions during the
season, batting we'll at all times
and winning over Eastern and
Montgomery-Blair when doing
mound duty.
Other players in the lineup
were Frank Lozupone, right
fielder; AL Dieffenbach, catcher;
Bob Harris, third base; Bill
Tompkins, outfield; Don Mcleod,
shortstop; Larry Schneider, first
base; Bud Day, left field; How
ard Mizell, outfield: Bill Fuller,
pitcher, and Henry King, out
fielder.
Now that record. The Bethes-
dams began the season by losing
an thinning 8-to-7 thriller to
Damascus. Sherwood was met
next and the first triumph of the
year registered, 18 to 0.
This victory boosted the morale
of the team no little for the follow
ing week Gaithersburg was de-
feated, IL to 7. Roosevelt was met
next, and as fate would have it,
the Riders triumphed in a 12-to-4
encounter.
Eastern TrOunced
The Eastern contest followed.
And it happened Woody Putnam
was in his best form. The result,
the Parkers were downed, 8 to 6.
Dewitt was then trounced soundly,
20 to Z, and Landon, 81 to /.
Two games with Washington
Lee High entered the picture next.
Both were registered on the wrong
side of the ledger as the Ballston
team triumphed, IL to 4 and 4 to
2, the latter after 10 innings.
The triumph over Western fol-
lowed. This was a 2-to-0 game
which found Crowell besting Ted
Kinsman at the Western Stadium.
A loss to the Maryland Frosh fol-
lowed, IL to 10, but then the sea-
son was closed in a blaze of glory
when triumphs over woodrow Will
son, Rockville and Montgomery.
Blair were chalked up.
Coach Williams will lose six OF
his 1885 lineup by graduation.
They include Putnam, Lozupone,
Crowell, Dieffenbach, Harris and
Tompkins. He hopes to get the
needed requirements from large
group of newcomers due to try
for baseball next spring.
They will balance the hold-over
list which will include Morell,
Mcleod, Schneider, Day, Mizell,
Fuller and King.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Riddles of the Mind.

DOR those who make superficial
study Of mental life, the whole
science Of psychology appears to be q
bundle of riddles. For those who make
careful study Of psychology as q
science, these riddles may be simpli-
fled and classified so that they appear
no more unsolvable than the problems
of any other science In other words
a multiplicity Of wonders is reduced
to few.
The biggest riddle in psychology
from layman's point of view, is that
Of finding a definition for mind Fol
centuries all persons have supposed
that ones mind is one thing and ones
body another. Two parts to Nature.
These parts closely attached in space,
but widely divergent in natural quail
lies. Traditionally, your mind is some
thing that does things for you. The
mind controls the body, and as such
may be regarded as a prophecy of what
one may yet do.
The scientist has reduced this tradi-
tional riddle to the following: The
mind Is not separable from the body.
Mind and body are one and the same
thing. The mind Is the body in ac-
tion-the body attempting to make
economical and successful adjustments
to very great number of possible ad-
justments. Mental phenomena are
merely the physical phenomena that
we can not observe with our eyes.

sharp and strong that they can even
hold fast to almost smooth surfaces.
If you have the opportunity to count
them, you will discover that swifts
have but 10 tail feathers, while swal-
lows possess IL.
No doubt you have heard Of the
unusual nests made by the cousins
of our swifts. The cement they
manufacture for anchoring the nests
and for gluing together the twigs and
bark is eagerly sought to be made
into soups.
Our swiftS form their bassinets with
twigs, vegetable matter and q few
feathers. These building materials
are held together with the same
sticky viScid secretion as Is used by
their foreign cousins. Our swifts have
to make only one nest for their in
fants, for we do not go in for birds
nest soup. Sometimes the poor swift
mothers abroad are compelled to
make several cradles. The last one
has barely enough mucilage to hold
the nursery together.
The white -throated swift lays from
two to four pure white eggs. Her
babies are nudists, as is the custom
Of swift babies. They are soon COW
cred, however, and depend entirely
upon their mother for two weeks.
Then they become brave, leaving the
nest, and cling to the wall Just be-
low it.
As q singer, the swift rates low.
It chatters and squeaks most de-
terminedly. Their combats are in the
air and they hold fast to each other
as they comerhurtling through space.
You are sure there will be a terrible
crash. But the swifts relax their
hold upon each other in time to save
themselves Back into the sky they
go and, when suficiept height has
been reached, continue to struggle
with each other. 1t may be friendly
tussle and it may be the only way
they can settle a dispute 1t would
surely make you famous If you could
solve this mystery.

- WITS are the bird speedsters

minded of all our birds.
It would be interesting to know
how much time and ammunition have
been used trying to shoot swift.
Grouse and ducks are very swift flyers,
but they are slow beside the men,
bers of the swift tribe.
These birds are like their neigh
bors, the woodpeckers, in their ability
to cling to upright surfaces. They
also press their tails against the
vertical surfaces for additional sup
port.
Swifts are built along streamlines.
They have small bodies, lightweight
feet, small, compact feathers and long
wings. Even their bills are narrow
! and small. But the mouth is wide
and ready to catch the insects cruis-
ing in the air and in the path Of the

The color scheme of these friends
of ours is sooty-black, with white
patches and whitish throat and

the feathers narrow and stiff, but
spineless. The iris of the eye is
dark brown.

 COMES TO STATE
Late Henry B. WaIthalI in One of Major Roles in
 Air Thriller

Performances this evening Con- clude the engagement of "Jallbreak" and My American Wlfe," current attractions Rt Warner Brothers State theater,
 Starting tomorrow the State offers another spectacular double feature program of screen entertainment which even tops the marvellous show presented last ek-end, to capacity audiences.
 Tomorrow's show is heRdlined by the new dramatic air thriller china Clipper" starring Pat O'Brlen, with Beverly Roberts, Ross Alexander, Humphrey BogRrt and Henry B, Walthall (the grand old character actor who died shortly after com pletlng thiB picture).
 The screen play by Commander Frand Wead, deals with the men of unhounded enthusiasm and courage, who were pioneers in establishing transoceanic air lines and the flights of daredevil pilots who risked their lives in battles with fog and storm to nose their ships into foreign lands.
 Thrill is said to follow on thrill In this smashing romance and drama of the air. The backgrounds are realistic and authentic, the ex- toFiors having been filmed, for the most part, at Alameda, air base of the Pan- American Airways on the Pacific coast near San Francisco, where the famous China Clipper hops off on itS voyages to the Philip. pine Islands,
 other exterIors were taken at the Catalina Islands where the foliage matches that of the tropical coun- tries visited by the giant airShip.
 The story deals with the lone fight of a war ace to establish trans oceanic air service, Called 6 vision- ary and a madman, he battles against innumerable obstacles with almost fanatlcal determination to put over hlS Idea, Not even the loss Of his wife and home, she leaving him because of neglect, can stop him from driving for his goal.
