Krichton is a bowler Of the old
school. He was a crack tenpin
performer before the duckpin game
was introduced. Now, like Harry
Krauss, Washington's own, Krich-
ton can play the big and little
games with about equal skill.
Many were the times a few years
ago when Krauss engaged in duck.
pin and tenpin matches simultane-
|ously, shooting with bigpin team
on one alley and a duckpin team
on another. Krauss and Krichton
met a number of times at tenpins.
Krauss won a majority Of the con-
tests.
Earle Stocking, president Of the
Washington City Association, de-
clared his opinion today that the
BaltimOreans would give their
hosts q battle in the tournament.
KrichtOn and Earle are not the
only stars in the Baltimore con-
tingent.
This will be the first tournament
conducted by the Washington City
Association opened to outsiders. 1t
was at Baltimore's request that it
be so. It will be recalled by vet
eran bowlers that Washington was
invited to take part in a city
tournament in Baltimore about
eight years ago and Washington
duckpinnerS accepted rather eagerly.
A large delegation went over and
very nearly cleaned up all the prize
money. Perhaps Krichton and some
of the other Baltimore veterans have
in mind what Washington did in
that tournament and are coming
here for revenge BaltinOr0,S, par

MARMON PLANS
BIG EXPANSION
Former Head Comments on
G, M, Williams, New
President,

with the marked increase in the
volume of our business we have rea-
lied the necessity of additions to our
executive organization to handle the
added burden" said Walter c. Mar
mon, in commenting today on G. NJ
Williams, former president Of the
Wire Wheel Corporation, who will
become president of the Nordyke &
Marmon Co., Indianapolis
Mr. Williams, for six years man
ager of the Dayton Wright plant,
General Motors, has to his credit
many striking achievements in the
industry. He brings with him a
strong financial backing and a com
prehensive manufacturing expert
ence. we feel that we are very for
tunate in securing his services.
He comes at a time when our
plans for the future call for greatly
increased activity and expansion. In
fact the new development in the
Marmon program follows the great
est period of sales success in the
history of the company. Since the
first of the year the factory has not
only worked on full schedule, but has
been compelled to work nights, holi-
days and Sundays to keep production
at a pace with sales. Even after this
we find ourselves far behind on
spring shipments"

INDIANA FRUIT
CROP IS NORMAL
Peaches Only Exception
Berry Yield Expected Light

Despite freezes, frosts and rains,
production Of fruit and vegetables
IN Indiana this year will be about
normal, according to a report made
by George c. Bryant, agricultural
statistician, and Frank y. Wallace,
State ertomologist, who have made
a personal survey through Sou, h
ern Indiana.
Winter chill has injured the rasp-
berry, blackberry, currant and
gooseberry crops and prospects are
for a comparatively small yield. But
growers are preparing for large
strawberry production. With the
exception of peaches, other fruits
VIII be Of usual amount although
they VIII be late in arriving. Along
the Ohio River peaches seem TO be
numerous, but in other parts of the
State the crop is a failure.
Bryant and Wallace said that
planting operations in the territory
covered by them was greatly de
layed. Cantaloupe growers have
experienced difficulty because Of
poor weather conditions. Some dis
tricts report a third planting. The
Tiptop mellon production is expect
ed to be increased considerably.

Business as
Others See 1t

This is presidential year, but the
average business man is not wor-
ried a&out the personality of the
executive, as he is over the fear
that a self-seeking politician in Con-
gress may not support constructive
policies.
In the long run, the course of
business is governed by facts, not
sentiment, and the facts of the sit
uation today do not justify a spirit
Of pessimism, says a bulletin issued
by the National Bank of Commerce,
New York.
While unsatisfactory conditions
may seem to be from the standpoint
Of the individual business man, firm
or industry. they are not unfore-
seen, and they are sound.
Declines in building activities and
kindred industries have given rise
to many pessimistic reports and
many buyers believe that prices will
go lower during the present "a son.
To this the Engineering News Rec
ord says the following: That this is
little more than an opinion is shown
by a comparison of present price
quotations with those OF a month
ago, four months ago and a year
ago.
Despite slowness of demand and
price shading, prices Of very few
basic materials are actually declin-
ing. Mil shipments are so prompt
ing large stocks, which means light
er orders. Eventually, when stocks
are depleted, there will be a re-
sumption Of demand and possibly
higher prices.

MCGOWAN Says Average In
crease About $500 a Day.

Increased revenue derived from
the 7-cent fare of the Indianapolis
Street Railway has averaged only
about $500 daily, Joseph A. Nc
Gowan, treasurer, estimated today.
The first days receipts were $1,100
in excess Of the same day in 1923,
but since that time it has fallen off.
MCGOWAN said some decrease could
be accounted for by the great number
of passengers buying tickets, but ad-
mitted that the company was not
hauling the number Of passengers it
did in 1928.
A slump in business, especially
factories employing a large number
of men, caused the decreased num-
Der of passengers, it was said.
Company officials estimated the in
creased fare would bring in $500, 600
a year added revenue. If the pres
ent average is continued, the amount
will be only S219, 900.
