INSURANCE WAS
REFUSED ACROBAT

Acrobats who do stunts such as those
mat are being performed at the Or
pheum by Conrad & Monette are class
ed with steeple jacks and soldiers in
time OF war by the big life insurance
companies.
John Conrad recently went to- an
insurance agent in Chicago in an eff
tort to obtain policy on his life to
the extent of several thousands of dol
lars. When Conrad declared his pro-
fession the agent demurred, stating
that he must first witness the act and
see whether it might be deemed a risk
too hazardous for the insurance con-
Germ to assume.
After watching Conrad fall twenty
feet from pile of tables piled high on
one another. as he does at every per-
Torrance. the insurance agent de-
clared that his company would not
write a policy on Conrad's life even IL
a premiu OF so per cent We're offered.
On the other hand. Conrad says that
he has been doing the stunt for nearly
a decade and never suffered more than
broken rib during that period. The
fractured "slat" was caused by at
tempting to stop a Cottage Grove street

OF BOWLING SEASON
E. B. AS Forced Back Into
Second Place on Cox's
Alleys.

Before a large crowd of bowling en-
thusiasts at Coxs alleys last night
the Plantista1 moved their way into
nrst place by taking the series from
those fnvincible E. B. AS and captured
first prize and money in the Hammond
bowling tournament.
1t was shock for the E. B. As. fol-
lowing 10 see their idols fall back into
the second division after they had so
bravely held first place during the en-
tire season, and they went home sad
at heart to think the series brought
the tournament to a close without an
other opportunity to come back this
season.
Win by 50 Pins.
While some of the E. b. AS loafed
on the job, the Piantistas kept up a
steady grind during the three games,
taking the series by a small majority
of So naples. Both teams expert
enced some trouble in getting the pins
to fall last night and many cherries
were made which accounts for the low
scores. Sweigert of the E. b. AS was
the only man who was able to reach
the 200 mark. making 203 in his last
game.
This victory gives the Pianist the
honor of first place in the Hammond
League and first prize money, which
Will amount to about $40 a man The

with the Spartans1 in third place. The
