...most serious problems at present with the team hitting at a disappointing low mark of .226 in league contests, but recent games with outside schools increased the season's percentage to a presentable .286. Although only rated as a utility man filling in for Art Johns at second base, Dick Grondahl in three league games is the highest Crimson batter in the official standings with an average of .375. Lupe Lupien, colorful first baseman, is second with .313, followed by rightfielder Jim Sullivan who has batted at a .278 clip. Frankie Owen at third is hitting only .250 but holds...
...order to become a serious contender for the championship, Mitchell must find or develop another pitcher. A1 Colwell, veteran catcher, has an excellent slow ball and slight curve, but his ability to last nine innings is uncertain. With Dick Walsh and Don Prouty evidently unable to make the grade, Mitchell's only alternative is Slim Curtiss, who hurled winning ball for the undefeated Freshman nine last year...
Behind the plate Colwell need bow to none in the league. His return to the lineup after an absence of two weeks has doubtlessly played a big part in the rejuvenation of the Crimson nine in the recent victories over Brown and Northeastern. In addition, Dick Grondahl, who has recovered from a cold, which kept him from playing for over a week, showed in the last two games that he will be a great asset to a weak hitting infield. At present Grondahl is at second base in place of Art Johns who is bothered by a spiked heel...
...past year has cast several shadows on the fame of Henry Tindall ("Dick") Merrill, whom no less an authority than War Ace Eddie Rickenbacker calls the "best transport pilot in the U. S." Last summer Dick Merrill flew Crooner Harry Richman to England, was forced down in Wales (TIME, Sept. 14). On the return trip he cracked up in Newfoundland, got embroiled in a tawdry, name-calling squabble with Richman, to whom he no longer speaks (TIME, Sept. 28). Back on his regular run for Eastern Air Lines, Dick Merrill next made news by wrapping his ship around a mountain...
...hallowed souvenir—who tries to solve a murder by making the twelve possible suspects hold hands in the dark. Things look bad for Nell O'Neill (Madge Evans) when John Wales (Henry Daniell) is stabbed at the seance, but clear up when, at the next psychic session, Dick Crosby (Thomas Beck) uses lampblack to prove that naughty Dr. Mason (Charles Trowbridge) was not holding hands. The Thirteenth Chair still saves a septuagenarian shiver for the moment when Madame La Grange reveals the murder knife stuck in the ceiling, but as dramaturgy it is more convincingly dead than...
