Begins now the plugging for
tournament entries. Two big open
tournaments and one strictly for
members of the Masonic fra
ternity will feature spring bowl
ing. First under way will be the
Capital City Duckpin Association
tournament, opening April 20, at
the Kingpin. On April 81, the
Washington City Duckpin Asso-
ciation will inaugurate its tOurna-
ment at the Coliseum where this
winter it staged perhaps the most
generally successful singles tour
nament in Washington's bowling
history.
Leaders OF the two city asso-
Citations are laying plans for entry
campaigns. Each association will
aim at the 200-team mark, never
reached even in the days when
Washington had only one city
organization.
A question uppermOst In the
minds of many bOWlers: How

Tournament bowling will have
q big inning with two city events
on at the same time, but these
will not lessen interest in the Ma
sons annual duckpin spree, which
is supported more and more strong
ly each year.
The Masons have not decided
definitely when or VIII ere their
tournament will be held, but more
than likely 1t will be staged at
the Coliseum il arrangements can
be made.

a movement to the table. A woman
reached for Chickie's inert hand and

Even men on the jury joined in the
excited whispering. They pushed
forward. The lawyer spoke hurried

good many peculiar angles that are

plenty Of motive for a possible crime.
But the witnesses are reluctant. 1t

The lawyer shouted, and every
one in the room stiffened: Don't

an intention of crime; take 1t for
granted that this witness wished to
rid herself Of the child. No such
fact has been proved"
The coroner banged his fist on
the table. THE question is not un-
fair. We have before us a case Of
glazing irregularity. A doctor takes
a dead child brought by a woman ad-
mittedly in hiding-a woman going
under two names. The witness has
admitted her frenzy. She runs off
and leaves her dead infant Yin the
hands of this town. She starts out
with a child Of four days-a child

show foul play in the death of the
child; If you can show the mother
may be responsible, then am
