ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 10.
Charles Walsh, Naval Academy
rowing coach, expects to have the
same boatings for the three crews
which will row at Poughkeepsie
on June % as in all the races
since the race with Columbia,
which started the season. After
that race, Walsh made one shift
between the varsity and jayveeS,
but the plebes have been un-
changed all season.
The Navy coach expects to have
one time trial here for his crews
over the distance they will row at
Poughkeepsie and probably only
one more after reaching the Hud
son. The squad will depart for
Poughkeepsie on Sunday, allowing
just one week for preparation at
the scene of the races.

''Its q young team and one
that possesses great promise
for the future"
Coach Ed Foxley of Tech High
School had these well meant
words to offer when accosted
early this spring on the prospects
Of the team that was to represent
the T Street institution in the
tnterhigh school series.
Now that the big" event is
over, his words are even more in
teresting. For the Techmen are
still a young team and still pos
sess great promise for the future.
The campaign Of 1897 should
shove a little light on the subject.
For instance, the boys will go
about their work with a great
deal of experience and background
behind them. They'll be more
confident and this new polish and
poise will help to handle Situa-
tons that were new before.
4 wise on Hand
Jimmy Wise, unanimous all
High selection, will be on hand
as leading light. Around him
will be the VETS" George Larrick,
second baseman; Roy LemeriSe,
third sacker; Bob Kendall, first
baseman; Joe Ciomei, Walt Mer-
chant and Abe Fillah, outfielderS.
Then in the pitching box will
be Tommy DooniS, who defeated
Western in his lone starting game
Of the 1896 series, and Dick Myers,
who looked so good in relief
role against Central in the first
game Of the year at Griffith Sta
dunn this spring.
Only the "old.timers," Wesley
Snow, first sacker and pitcher, and
George Hahn, shortstop, will be
missing. They graduate next week.
Others like Whitley France and
Lewis West will not be in school,
AS we were saying, the team
should do we'll in 1897. It's youth
and spirit is that engaging. When
you get this among a collection
Of ball players, high school or
otherwise, there's no telling how
far they'll go.
Play Good Ball
The Techmen played very good
ball, on the whole, this season.
Central was almost defeated in
the first game of the year, East
ern was handed a decisive set
back while Western was defeated
in the last regularly scheduled
contest of the series when a VIC
tory for the Georgetowners would
have clinched the championship.

This conflict may mean that Boland
will allow his name to be used as q
candidate so the Pennsylvania Dem
ocratic members may make an issue
between a colleague from their own
State and an outsider sponsored by
Senator Guffey. Beland admitted he
might allow his name to be used as

How about that old story that an elephant
will 60 mad at the sight of a mouse, fearing
the creature will run up the inside of his
trunk?
In big building like the Elephant House
in the New York Geological Park there are
bound to be few mice saw Alice, the an
cient mistress of the Parks elephant collec-
tion, calmly mumching hay one day while
mouse scampered around her feet. Alice could
not help see 'lg the creature, yet she obviously
was not terrorized. asked Dick Richards, one
of the Elephant House keepers, about it.

The one animal myth to which Dr.. Blair
says "Yes" and mo" is the one about an
elephants remarkable memory.
"A circus elephant that has once paraded
over certain route will follow that route in
after years without guiding" he told me.
But never heard of an authenticated case
of an elephant storing up grudge and taking
revenge. doubt that story very, verv much.
However, I'll go this far: We once had an
elephant that took dislike to a certain mes
senger. The boy left the service of the park,
but some years later he came back on visit.
As he stood in front of the elephant stalls,
Gunda saw him in crowd and became very
angry - began throwing things at him and
trying to break down the bars to get at him.
That. if you like, is an authentic instance of
an elephants retentive memory"

Many child has been brought up to fear
the peaceful, insect-eating bat in the belief
that IF bat gets into your hair. you will
have to cut your hair off to get it out"
Well, how many persons ever had a bat in
their hair1 My belief is that while it might
be bit difficult to extract bat from ones
hair because of its projecting thumbs" and
curved toes, there is probably not one bat in a
million that ever got into anybody's hair.
Bats have a mysterious sense of space that
enables them to "feel" in the dark and avoid
obstacles. once stood on the floor of a bat

thousands of bats fitted around me, and
while some of them came so close that their
