with the rationale that you
were up to some good. For
if you also came equipped
with bottle paper, provided
by the U. S. Navy Hydro
graphic office, you could fill
out your location and the
date, stick it in the drained
bottle, toss it overheard and
send it on a trip around the
ocean, content in the knowl-
edge you were giving your
all in helping the Hydro
graphic people plot the flow
of currents.
From his Suitland, Md,
office, william G. Watt, di-
rector of the photographic
Maritime Safety Division in
forms us that modern navi-
cation electronic aids enable
us to measure currents much
more accurately than bottle
paper does. A bottle is likely
to lie on a beach for months
or crash against rocks and
that's the end of that. Only
a very small percentage land
somewhere and of these, only
a small percentage are re-
turned. We get at most
maybe one a day. In years
gone by we'd get flocks of
them"
Anyone interested can still
pick up the bottle paper, at
the photographic office here
or at various sea ports. It
has instructions printed in
eight languages including
Esperanto, requesting the
paper be sent to any United
States Consul for forwarding
to the Washington office.
The data would be used to
study oceanic water circu-
lation and probable drift
tracks of objects floating on
the sea.
1T is IMPORTANT THAT
the sender know his exact
location and Mr.. Watt says
mostly officers of ships use
the paper because most
passengers or private groups
don't know where they are"
The Navy reports bottle
trips are unpredictable. OF
10 bottles cast overheard in
1928 in the Atlantic near the
Equator, only two were dis
covered - and one went to
the west coast of Africa, the
second to Nicaragua. The
longest recorded distance is
a bottle that went from a
point southeast Of Cape Horn
to the west coast of North
Island, New Zealand-1O,25O
miles.
In the Pacific after World
War II a study of bottle
drifts helped locate deadly
Japanese mines drifting in
shipping lanes.
When the bottles are found,
some people suspect there
is a reward waiting in the
United States. One Irish boy
sent a request for food along
with the paper, and an Irish
girl asked the Navy to pro-
vide her with a husband.
ONCE A NATIVE FARM
BOY in the Azores Islands
did cash in. Inside his bottle
was a note promising to pay
the finder $1,000 if it was
returned to New York. No
joke. The bottle was cast
into New York Harbor as a
radio program publicity stunt
and the boy got his money.
The photographic office
has a competitor in the bot
tie paper business preach
er on the U. S. West Coast
who collects dead soldiers
from the trash cans in back
OF saloons, inserts religious
messages and sends them off
on the sea as an inspiration
to seamen.
And one oil tanker cap
tain who regularly piled the
North Atlantic tossed over
a bottle message each day
including the name, address
and phone number of a girl
in a large East Coast city.

hibition wrought was a

Baseball, which has with
stood two World Wars. the
Black Sox scandal, the home
run and a multitude of zany
individuals, can breathe an
other sigh Of relief-another
little league season is finished.
Ebbets Field in Brooklyn and
New York's Polo Grounds be-
came famous for weird plays
and players, but there prob
ably are more odd happenings
in one week of little league
ball than In the combined his
tory of the two National
League parks.
However, the game seems to
be able to absorb the unusual
twists the youngsters give ii
and come back asking for more
the following spring. Fortu-
nately, baseball has the fall
and winter to recover.
Mickey Mantle of the YAM
KEGS and Steve Bilko of the
Angels are only two of the
major leagues bubble-blowine
enthusiasts, but neither ever
left the field to offer theil
managers a piece of gum.
It happens in the little
leagues. The youngsters are
anxious to please their adult
instructors-even to the point
of leaving their positions or
the field because proper man
ners dictate offering everyone
q piece when one player de-

ming.
If there Is one word all little
league coaches, and parents
for that matter, would like
barred from the English Ian
guage, it's WHY.
But most coaches agree
there's one answer to that
query that satisfies the young
sters. Tell 'em that's the way
Mantle, Roger Maris or Jim
Piersall would do it. Coaches
report the kids feel that if it's
good enough for Mantle it's
good enough for them.
THAT probably is why Man
tie is the favorite player of
most youngsters" one coach
said. when you use q major
league example, his is the first
name that pops into your
mind"
Umpires probably have the
toughest jobs In little league
baseball. What can an umpire
do to placate a youngster who
breaks out in tears after being
called out on strikes. The man
in blues position rivals that of
the boogie man the kids feared
in earlier life.
But while the coaches, par
ents and umpires' gladly begin
packing away the gear for an
other season Of baseball, the
kids have only one question:
when do we start football
practice?"

Three men on third? The
Dodgers became Ia m Gus for
that. But how about four men
on second? 1t happened in one
area little league. much to the
CONSERVATION of the umpire,
who hasn't been able to make
a decision yet. He doesn't know
how it happened or where all
of the runners came from.
Routine double plays are a
rarity in little league games,
but there are plenty of COM
plicated twin killings with as
many as six or seven players
handling the ball. Scorekeepers
have been known to stop a
game to ask just who handled
the ball on that last double
play.
None of the youngsters have
been barred for betting on
games, but the stands are full
of human pari mutuel ma
chimes, otherwise known as
parents.
Many games turn into a
comedy of errors. One manager
reports his team gave up seven
runs in one inning without the
ball being hit out of the in
field and the pitcher not al
lowing a walk.
But kids have the amazing
ability to forget all of the
heartbreaks on the field. Five
minutes after one team has
beaten another, both sides are
playing a game Of pickup while
the opposing coaches continue

BIanda 10 Get
Test Tonight
Against Bills
By the Associated Pres

~-~~~N@-~~~
The Houston Oilers, showing
no signs Of deterioration after
winning their second straight
American Football League title
last year. hope to haul out vet
eran George Blanda for q Wig
orous workout tonight when
they play the Buffalo Bills in
an exhibition game in Mobile,
Ala.
Blanda has spent most of
the Oilers three exhibition VIC
tories recovering from q thy
roid operation, finally taking a
brief spell at quarterback last
Saturday night in a 20-10 VIC
tory over Boston, and coming
in to kick four field goals and
three conversions the week be-
fore in a 1917 victory over
Denver.
In the meantime, the 34-
year-old, 13-year pro veteran
has watched second-year man
Jacky Lee direct the Oilers In
fine style. In their first VIC
tory, the Cincinnati grad threw
three touchdown passes. He
added another in the Denver
game.
Patriots Trim Titans
Last night. the Boston Pa
triots handed the New York
Titans their third straight pre-
season loss-taking a 1910 VIC
tory at Lowell, Mass, before
a crowd Of 11,118. New York
also lost Bill Mathis. all-league
fullback. with a broken collar
bone.
Veteran Babe Parili, obtained
from Oakland, completed 13
of 26 passes for 156 yards and
one touchdown and went one
yard on a sneak for the win
ming score in the fourth quar-
ter. Halfback Ron Burton ran
10 times for 81 yards, including
a 39-yard burst that set up
the winning touchdown.
Blanda will be opposed by
another pro veteran who has
to unlimber a bit. Al Dorow
will direct the Bills, who have
split two games so far. He was
traded by the Titans last week
and fills a spot Buffalo has
long considered its weakest po-
sition.
Bears Get Scare
The Chicago Bears, prepping
for their National Football
League exhibition against Green
Bay Saturday night in Milwau-
kee, had a brief scare yesterday
when four regulars turned UP
with throat and lung inflama-
tions. However, doctors said
that Halfback Jim Dooley and
Guard Roger Davis of the
offensive platoon, and Back
Richie Petition and End Doug
Atkins of the defensive team,
would be well enough to play
within 48 hours.
The San Francisco 49ers an
nounced that Center Frank
Morze would have to undergo
surgery to repair damaged liga-
ments in his right knee. He
was injured in the 49ers' first
exhibition game against the
Minnesota Vikings.
Denver of the AFL trimmed
its roster to one below the re-
quired 43 limit when it released
Luther Hayes, whom the Bron-
cos had purchased from San
Diego in the off-season.
