DIR. Arthur b. Smith faces trial here to-
day for the alleged murder of his first
wife, Mrs. Florence Cavileer Smith, in
March, 1912. State and defense have
made elaborate preparations for the
trial, the accused doctor himself having
spent the months of his confinement i'll
the county Jail studying poisons in the
attempt to prove that cyanide of pOtas-
stun did not cause the death of Mrs.
Smith.
Mrs. Smith died suddenly on the
morning Of March Is, 1912, after a slight
indispOstiOn of a few days. She com

it is alleged that her husband brought
her a cup of cocoa. She Immediately be-

at a local hospital, were married. The
second Mrs. Smith is a native of Cam

county authorities, at the instigatiOn of

an investigation of her death. The body
was disintercd and analysis of the
~viscera was made by chemists, who are
alleged to have reported the finding of
cyanide to the special grand jury.

The race in the Interdenominational
League has been of such an interesting
character for the last two months that
any fresh allusion to it seems tiresome
repetition. In the appended figures Fifth is
shown to he the leader. with Westminster
second. Two postponed sets were rolled
since last Tuesday, however, and i'm one
st. Marks and Kendall, which resulted in
a three-game victory for the Lutheran
quint-the lead Of last years champions
is seriously threatened. Any of the
first three teams has a chance for the
bunting, and the closing sets in March
should be productive of some great con-
tests.

Place.

The lead which the Belmonts had main
tanned for many weeks in the District
Duckpin League has been gradually worn
down by the contesting quints. until the
Garrisons have finally succeeded in get
ting on even terms with them. n two
game defeat at the hands of the Hum
mers last week deadlocked the race, the
victorious team drawing up to within
two games of both the Bemonts and the
Garrisons by its achievement. Toledos
and Royals are tied for fourth place.
HALEY still tops the field in individual
averages, with the excellent mark Of
1O4.c7 for forty-seVen games, with Harry
Oehler second. with 1871 for fifty-one
games. The Bemonts' JOi game has not
been bettered. nor has the ,,691 set made
by the Toledos early i'm the season been
threatened. Weckerly's 1:3 game is high
for the league, with Hawksworth's IA

is high, Rider having the honor of roll

the paper.
The great number of postponements
! that have occurred in several leagues this
year emphasize the evil which it was
sought to eradicate. when the two-leaeue
rule was promulgated by number of
| the duckpin organizations. When these
latter outfits Incorporated the new clause
| in their constitutions at the beginning OF
| this season it was understood that ten
pin leagues were not to come under the
| ban. That is, while bowler was limited
| to two duckpin leagues, he was at liberty
i to roll on as many tenpin teams he
wanted. The consequence has been that
many of the stars with both the little
and big pins signed up with one or two
tenpin leagues in addition to two duck
| pin organizations. and, of course, con-
| fiicts in dates were unavoidable. On
| these occasions it was not always pos
| sible to secure substitutes. and a post
| poned set was chalked up. These de-
| ferred sets are bad for the best interests
| of any league. Teams are allowed sub
stitutes for this very reaSon-i. e., of pro-
| viding against those occasions when the
so-called regulars cannot take the alleys:
! and II would not be a. all surprising if
| some one o. the o"~r' - -
! an iron-bound rule providing that in case
/ team cannot lu, ave --.. l. 80
on the night scheduled the set shall be for
| feited. Or another good move might be
| an amendment to the present two-league
| rule to include tenpin leagues as well as
| duckpins, which would make it impOS-
| sible for man to be affiliated with more
| than two bowling teams, whether they be
| little or big pins. In any event. it is
| patent to all interested in the welfare
| of the game that the present jumbled
| condition of some of the schedules is not
| conducive to the best interest of the
| popular indoor game.
| 1t might be remarked in passing that
| In one of the so-caled minor leagues

On account of the tenpin tournament
all the games in the Commercial Colo

to be postponed. These leagues
roll exclusively at the Palace, and as all
six alleys will be utilized each night. the
games scheduled for the next two weeks
will have 10 be deferred until later, proba-
bly, to be tackled on to the end of the sea-
son. 1t will be q wise move next year
to make allowance for the tenpin event in
framing the schedules, as the tourney Is
a, fixture and definite dates could easily
be arranged ahead of time. From pres
ent indications the tournament VIII De
finished within two weeks. A suggestion
has been made that team captains could
get together and arrange to roll the
games at 1:2o ahead of the regular
matches during the weeks OF February II
and -. Whether it would be convenient
for the teams to reach the alleys at that
time rests with the captains, though the
team scheduled would probably agree to
roll their game a. $40 in order to finish
the schedule on the original date. 1t is
also proposed TO transfer the games to
