Whatever else you may think, no
one can say the Deans are not con-
sistent. Together they won 49 games
in 1884 and Al games in 1885. In
1884 Dizzy won 80 and Paul picked
up 10. Last year Dizzy won 2S and
Paul came back with the same 10.
1t would be difficult to locate two
pitchers with better pitching builds.
Dizzy is slightly over 6 feet 3,
weighing 1877 pounds in condition.
Paul is the same height. He looks
thinner but weighs 1875. This alti-
tude is not little help.
When it comes to speed. there is
little choice Each will tell you the
other is faster Both are fast enough.
Each has fine control. Dizzy has the
edge with greater experience and q

hitting his fast ball on a given day he
switches to a slow ball, mixed in with

Depends Lot on Tackles.

TACKLES to Howard Jones-or for
that matter. to any coach-are as
essential as a pair Of skis to a ski
jumper. Howard. especially. Is one
gridiron instructor who enjoys that
foot ball season to the full which
nnds him in possession Of two tackles
who charge brutishly, as the late Frank
Cavanaugh used to say: who cause
offensive ends and backs to recoil
when they strike. and, in an oppos-
ing backfleld, spread havoc and de-
struction while plays are in their in
cipiency.
Don Mcneil, center on the 1925
freshman eleven. and Ray George,
both Loyols High boys, and Max Belko,
already known. are a trio out Of whom
Jones Is as sure as he can be sure
OF anything that a pair Of tackles
answering all specifications will be
evolved. Each weighs about 2o5
pounds and each in Spring practice,
now in progress, is making life mis-
cradle not only for opposing indivi-
duals but for entire opposing teams.
And. by the way-we are still on the
West Coast-has any one hereabouts
heard that Tiny Roebuck. the 297-
pound Choctaw whom foot ball enthu-
siasts will recall as great Haskell
Indian lineman. is winning fame as a
wrestler. Tiny's speciality is lying
fiat on his face and having opponents

SUCCESS IS SEEN

THOSE who thrill to a gallant
comeback effort, those whose
memory reaches into the past
u beyond present champions and
existing records, will follow with keen
and sympathetic interest the current
return attempt now being made by
Frank Wykoff, outstanding sprinter
among a past generation Of flyers.
Running at Long Beach recently
after a long lay-off, Frank did the
hundred in SO seconds, which Is real
running and an indication that
course Of training under such q wise
and gifted mentor as Dean Cromwell
Is all the boy needs.
You know, of course, that, despite
all the meteoric century runners who
have flashed since Wykoff's time, the
worlds record for that distance, o.
seconds. still is held by Frank-and
likely to be for some time to come, so
many think.
If he is willing to work hard, and
to date this has not been the case
Frank has strong addiction to going
places In a motor car-competent
judges Of track form on the Pacific
slope believe he can regain his form
and so resume his place as a top-lner

swift for him-there seems no reason
why he should not be able to win
that place for himself on the Olympic
relay team which he held with Kiesel,
Toppino and Dyer in the Olympic
games at Los Angeles in 1882.
Frank Wykoff. strange as it may
seem, is only 26 years old. He was a
schoolboy at Glendale High in 1928
when he first flashed into fame.

Edward McHenry relates the sparkling
history of the defenses visited on the

MOT far from the starting point
the sight-seers come to Battery
Kemble, situated on one of the boldest
hills rising north of the Potomac
Palisades. Deep gullies and adjacent
ridges facing the river are all that re-
main of the old-time bulwarks. The
numerous knobs and pits are profusely
covered by wild growth. Guns mounted
here at one time pointed threateningly
across the Potomac to the distant Vir-
ginia horizon.
Approaching Fort Reno, the next
site Of interest, the tourists traverse
the first completed stretch of the Fort
drive. This short section of roadway
in front of the Alice Deal Junior High
School was recently constructed by
W. P. A. workers.
Today there are no visible remains
of Fort Reno, the vital defense which
once commanded the three important
roads that united at TenleytoWn. Its
guns swept the wide-open plain lying

purpose ne did not hesitate to get up
before sunrise, probably to avoid the
intrusion OF others Upon one Of
these occasions he had a close shave
for his life, as we find from his
diary, under date Of June Is, 1925,
when he says:
II attempted to cross the river with
Antoine in a small canoe, with q
view to swim across it to come back.
He took boat in which he had
crossed it last Summer without ac-
cident. The boat was at the shore
near Van Ness poplars: but in cross
ing the Tiber to the point. my son
John, who was with us, thought the
boat dangerous, and, instead of going
with us, went and undressed at the
rock. to swim and meet us in midway
of the river as We should be returning.
thought the boat safe enough, or,
rather, persisted carelessly in going
without paying due attention to its
condition; gave my watch to my son:
made bundle Of my coat and waist
coat to take in the boat with me,
put of my shoes and was padded by
Antoine, who had stripped himself
entirely naked.
Before we had got half acress the
river the boat had leaked itself half
full, and then we found there was
nothing on board to scoop up the
water and throw it over. Just at that
critical moment a fresh breeze from
the northwest blew down the river
as from the nose of a bellows. In
five minutes time it made a little
tempest and set the boat to dancing
till the river came in at the sides.
I jumped overheard, and Antoine did
the same, and lost hold of the boat,

carriage with four horses and q single

nor any concourse of people on the

In reading Mr. Adams diary one
would be impressed that he was q
man of rather o religious mind, and
on the day Of his Inauguration he
evidences the depth of his responsible
ity in the following words: After
two successive sleepless nights / en-

ton TO Heaven, first for my country:
secondly, for myself and for those
connected with my good name and

After the Inauguration he returned
to his r street home, and later went
to the White House to greet the
crowds and then returned home again.
