A FINANCIAL benefit.

West Virginia saved $67,500 last
Christmas time through a decrease in
murders. Mr.. Sim Irion, secretary Of
the Charleston Business Mems asso-
citation, cites statistics showing that
for 33 years there has been an aver
age of II murders in the state during
the Christmas holidays. all Of them
traceable either directly or indirectly
to whisky and its evil influences. This
Christmas there were only two MUIR
ders as result of drinking. The
average murder trial in West Virginia,
it is stated. costs $4,000. Seventeen
murder trials therefore cost the state
$76.500. Two cost about $4,000, a saw.
ing of approximately $67,50O.

CONNER CIAL LEAGUE TO HOLD
IT'S TT1REE-BALL TOURNAMENT
Annual Event Will Take Place Tomorrow
Night on Palace Alleys-Georee lseman
Pays Tribute to Pop HALEY.

The Commercial Duckpin League is
to hold it's annual three-ball tourna-
ment tomorrow night. The bowling is
midnight. There will be $50 given in
prize money. and quarter will be
charged for each three balls rolled.
The tournament is held by the COM
mercia1 League every year almost with
the sole object of making sufficient
money to aid in defraying the expenses
Of it's banquet at the close of the sea-
son. The past Journeys have been
very successful. and everybody con-
nected with the organization is look
ing for this one to be the best ever
held President Rodier of the league
aid last night:
IT believe the largest crowd that has
gathered to take part in tourney this
year will be present when our three
ball affair starts Monday night. The
tournament always has been excep-.
tionally well patronized. and hard
ly think this year is going to be any
exception, and I will be considerably
surprised if it does not measure way
beyond the general expectations. We
are giving some mighty good prizes.
much better than usually are awarded
fans seem to be very much interested.
The tournament is to be held at the
Palace alleys.
George Iseman. who has been manag
ing the local team of All-Stars in its
matches with Baltimore, Hagerstown
and Martinsburg, has a mighty high
opinion of Pop" HALEY. Iseman even
goes so far as to say that HALEY is
the best bowler not only in Washing
70, h,,f in ho
of course, the men who follow the
game for a living. Here is what .Ise-
man gives as his opinion:
Pop HALEY. to my mind, is the
best bowler in the United States. BY
that I do not mean there are not men
who can topple more pins, but ! am
comparing him with those who follow
the sport for pastime and not for
SIGNALS who can beat him. many who
earn their living as alley managers.
who can, perhaps. but among those
who just follow the game for recrea-
Pop is the best ever. and day in and
day out / believe he can beat any
bowler in the United States who just
bowls for the fun he gets out of 1t In
his odd moments. And Pop is right
at his best when 1t comes to match
games for prizes, or when he is down
to roll for his team in pinch. II
there ever is time when he can bowl
well and show to advantage, 1t Is when
hard pressed or when he must do
something extraordinary to make up
for some failure on the part OF one OF
his teammates. Pop is there, and do
not forget that"
Which nobody will ever deny. 1t
might be mentioned in connection with
Iseman's tribute to the popular PIN
spiller that it was Halley's game of $50
which gave the All-Stars their margin
of victory in the recent series with
Martinsburg. The locals went into
that game we'll behind, but Pop con-
nected for six spares and one strike
and beat his man considerably.
1t was severe disappointment to
the bowlers of Martinsburg to meet
defeat at the hands Of Iseman's All

GHEEN HOLDS RECORD
Has Rolled for Better Average Than
Any Other Player,
103-S.

The Velvet Kind team seems to be
a fairly certain winner of the cham
pionship in the National Capital
League. The velvets have been at the
top of the circuit practically all sea-
son, and the team sill is going at a
good gait. 1t now is leading the or
ganization by a big margin, one which
cannot be made up easily by any
means. The Royals are in second place
and probably will be a hard team to
stave off. but unless they do better
than they have been doing the velvets
will cop the money.
Ray Gheen is leading the players
with an average of 1898. Several
others are rolling for averages of more
than 100. this organization probably
having more bowlers above the CEN
fury mark than any other in the city.

came like bolt out of a clear sky"
Prof. Siler's crew was taken COM
pletely by surprise, for in the very first
game they picked up the lead that the
Washingtonians gained in the Capital
city. What makes it pleasanter for the
local marksmen is that at the COM

that they wound up with a fifteen pin
advantage on the series. In the sixth
frame of the final game Bontz spared

successive marks, which virtually put
the match on ice. It was in this game
that Pop" HALEY knocked down $50
OF the rubber naples, and the rest Of
the auint backed him up nobly, ending
the game with one of the highest
scores ever rolled in that vicinity, 647.

INCREASED MAIL RATE
Protests Of Newspapers and Magazines
Cause Him to Sidetrack Proposal.

Under date OF December 4. Postmaster
General Burleson addressed q letter, OF
which the following Is q copy, to John
A. Moon. chairman of the committee on
post Offices and post roads of the House
Of Representatives. in relation to the
postage rate on second class mail mat
ter:
'-since writing my annual report for
the fiscal year ended June 30. 1916. there
has appeared before me a committee rep
resenting the Agricultural Publishers As
sociation, also other representatives OF
periodicals and magazines, all of whom
earnestly urged that no steps be taken
at this time to increase the rates OF
postage on second class matter. These
representatives claim that the war and
other unusual conditions have recently
caused an abnormal increase in the price
OF paper, and such increases. coming
as they did after the contracts had been
entered into for the advertising matter,
seriously threaten the financial stability
of these periodicals and publications.
Because Of these facts, which were
not available at the time my report was
written, feel constrained to write you
this letter and state that while / still
adhere to the recommendations on this
subject contained in my annual reports,
1 feel that most serious consideration
should be given to the representations Of
these publishers. II conditions are as
stated by them, It might be well to con-
slider whether the increase In rates Of
postage on second class matter should
be made at this time"
