MART|NSBURG SET "
TO Be ENDED JAN. e
Intercity Duckpin Series Will Be
Completed With Five Games
in West Virginia.

Two weeks from tonight the Palace
team of Washington will dispose OF the
| second half Of its series with tho Mar
tinsburg team at the home alleys of
the West virginians. Some controversy
had arisen as to which Saturday would
be the most convenient for all concern
ed TO go to Martinsburg-and The de-
cision to fix upon January 23 was not
confirmed until the meeting Of the Pal
ace five last night.
The opinion seems to have gained
foundation that the Washingtonians will
have their hands full winning from the
Martinsburg five when the rubber.band-
ed pins are stacked UP against the
locals. \ margin Of but eighty-two pins
now separates the teams, and it is
thouehS that OH their home alleys, the
Virsinians can offset this difference.
and add couple of hundred pins be-
sides.
Rubber banded pins are productive Of
much higher scores than the pin OF ALI
wood, which is used unanimously in
Washington. The Martinsburg lads evil
IDENTIFY know how to '"hit' the pins to
cause them to rebound so effectively
that clean sweeps will result in the
greater number of boxes. This Is anoth-
er new game to Washington's team, just
as the BroclSton conditions were strange,
but the Palace quint is hoping for the
best. and it can surely be depended
upon to do its best.

BY KIRK C. MILLER.

Despite a thorough search in the
Gust.est records Of all time in Washing
TONS bowling archives, no mark can to-
day be found to equal set of 1857,
which was amassed by the members OF
the Palace duckpin team when the
Brunswicks, of the National Capital
League were encountered on the Palace
alleys. 1t is safe to say that the collec-
tive performance Of Messrs. HALEY,
Lennon, Carroll. Lewis, and i%rauss
will not be approached in many moons,
as tie Oldest dopsters of the pastime
are scratching their heads in a vain
endeavor to figure out how the remark
eble string was accomplished, and how
1t can be repeated.
Palaces row Of 1857 comes as a fit
ting sequel to the next biggest mattel,
that has ever been rolled in the Dis
trict, one Of 1924, which was hung UP
by tho same team when the Fat Men
were their opponents last season, and
behind these figures there are few in
the annals Of duckpin rolling hero which
have crept into the 100 class.
Games Of 693. 573, and 591 are re-
sponsible for the large total Of 1851.
and those healthy games came as the
result of some Of the best duckpin CO.
operation which has ever been witness
ed on q local alley. To a man, the Pal
ace combination was working perfectly
and the five members performed their
parts together like a huge piece Of well
fabricated machinery-the result is Cvi-
dent.
In the first game, no less than il
marks were chalked up to the credit OF
1 the Palace quint. the second game de.
veloped Is marks, while the third
brought out 1S marks. These figures
snow an element Of consistency which
il seldom seen on the smobthest- running
teams, and goes to prove that the set is
one of the greatest from a sporting
standpoint on record here.
HALEY. Carroll. Lewis, and krausS
each put over eleven marks, while Doc
tor 1.emmon's marks fell to the number
Of six, he making up for the drop by
giving a wonderful exhibition of wood
getting. Here Is a condensed tabula
tion of the marks registered in each ol
the three games by tho Ave men:

Police Theory That Wealthy Rock 10

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servicel
SANTA MONICA, Calf, Oct A.
Murder was the police theory regard
ing G. A. Mcdonald, wealthy retired
grocer, of Rock Island, Ill.,, whose
nude body was found floating at sea
today. The police believe Mcdonald
was robbed and murdered.
DR.. w. H. Cart, nephew, identified
Mcdonald The nephew said McDon-
aid was In the habit Of carrying I'M
usually large sums and diamonds
about his person. The body was
stripped to make It appear he had
committed suicide, the police believe.
Ugly bruises were found upon the
corpse when 1t was discovered float
ing near the wild and unsettled mouth
of Santa Monica canyon, with the
arms folded across the chest What
tends to support the murder theory
is the fact that although he apparent
Iy had been dead only about eight
hours, the body came to the surface,
although drowned corpse does not

my views in regard to wireless tele-
pkony than to quote the telegram
which have just sent to Mr.. Carly.
the chief engineer OF this company,
with reference to yesterdays wireless
talks.
"'Carty. I want to congratulate you
on yesterdays climax in the way Of
achievements, the greatest in inter-
communication that the world has
ever seen. To you and the wonderful
staff. created by you, the world owes
debt. To throw your voice directly
without the aid of wires, from Wash
fngton to Hawaii, nearly 5000 miles,
a greater distance than from New
York to Paris, Berlin. Vienna or Pet
rograd, and greater than that between
Seattle and Toxic and Yokohona,
was wonderful but to send the recog-
nized voice part way over wire and
part through the air was still more
wonderful and was the demonstration
of the chiefest Nse that Will probably

wire system and bring into converse

deed brought us one long step nearer

(Signed) "THEO. N. VAIL
AS you will see from this, 1t is clear
that wireless will never substitute or
supplant the wire system, but will
greatly amplify them and extend their
usefulness It is humanitarian rather
than commercial, but is useful in that
it makes conversation possible be-
tween places. and between places and
moving objects. and between moving
objects that could not be connected by
wire AS with the wireless telegraph,
it probably never will be dependable
except as outlined above.

NEW YORK. Oct 4.-Today's stock

and ended with break during the IN
Itervening hours. The movement could
only be described as chaotic. The
week opened as there was abundant
reason to expect, with practically all
the financial forces of Wall street
ranged against the crazy speculative
demonstration and the excited public
still sending in a mass of buying or
ders. Almost without exception, bank
ing and stock exchange commission
houses warned their customers to
keen out of SO dangerous market.
Some of the clients took the advice:
many did not. for it is on occasions Of
! this sort that raw recruit in a specula-
tive campaign considers his personal
impulses to be more trustworthy than
the judgment of old heads in the bust
ness. That conclusion was backed up
TODAY by the wild activities of the
newly made army of speculative mil
ilionaires which war orders and war
stock boom have created with numer-
| Gus interior cities. Market closed in
the same confusion as that In which
| It opened. but the tendency Of prices
| TO give way in the last half hour was
unmistakable. With the whirling
stock market absorbing all attention,
little notice was taken of this morn
