temporarily, and the Donaldsons IN
turn issued q challenge So today
came an acceptance with Frank
Sehafer. of Sterrett and Fleming,
2155 Champlain st. ". W., acting
in behalf Of his clan.
Five excellent bowlers are the
Schaefer brothers, according 20
Frank who mentions that one Of
them performs with the Hupmobile
team in the Automobile League
and several others with Knights Of
Columbus and Commercial League
teams.
When the Veihmeyers first spoke
up 1t was believed they would find
opponents scarce. IL they found any.
It was quite a novelty when they
met the Donaldsons. In a way, it
will be more novel when the Dom
aldsons and Schaefers meet for few
people, il anybody, suspected that
Washington owned material for
three such teams.
Perhaps the next development III
this unusual competition will be
the formation of league of brother
teams.
There's another striking series
Of matches, or perhaps a t0urna-
ment, brewing. The six teams Ut
the District Ladies' League may
team up with six teams OF the
District League of men and thus
form half a dozen line-ups of 10
bOwlers each.
Various ways have been proposed
for bringing these into competition.
Whether to make it tournament,
total pins to count. an elimination
series or a round robin is a ques-
ton. It seems settled that event
ually the mixed teams will do bat
tie. Each of the six girl teams re-
presents an establishment that also
fosters a team in the mems loop.
1t is unlikely that they will cash
during the Christmas holidays. The
holiday calendar already, is crowded.
In fact, it may be advisable for the
alley managers to hold a conference
over the matter Of dates.
One Of these days the Washing
ton City Duckpin Association will
have a hand in the arrangement of
various alley events. This day VIII
come when alley owners and
bowlers alike realize that the game
has grown too big to be handled
without system, rhyme or reason.
Closer cooperation between
alley owners and closer cooper
alton between the prOprietOrS
and the bOwlers might be
effected should the Washington
City DucEpin Association he
made to function the season
through instead of during the
spring when its one big tOurna-
ment is held.
1t would be better for all should
all pull together to boost the GAME.
The petty jealousies, throat-cutting
and ugly dissensions of the last sew
clal years haven't helped. The
City Duckpin Associa.

from start to finish of

power for good.

citation now and has announced that
this is his last term. Henry T. Ro.
der became president at a time when
the association needed a clear-think-

has made good. The old ship is
blowing forward once again. as it
were, but it 'ceds to unreef a few
sails.
To put It another way. the Wash

ISN'T keeping UP with the game.

Refused To Quit

Refused To Quit
WITH the Indians running along
w in the second division and the
fans booing him, Speaker refused
to quit. He got his pitchers
working in order and, largely
through the brilliant hitting of
George Burns and Joe Sewell
pulled his team up into the race.
1t is generally believed that the
Indians would have won the 1926
championship but for the failure
of their pitchers to stand up,
especially Miller and Buckeye.
The bulk of the work had to be
done by George Uhle, and he
could not carry the team along on
his shoulders without aid.
Speaker would hardly have re-
signed had his Indians won the
pennant last October, but their
failure simply made it easy for
him to carry out his own personal
plans. He has now rendered his
resignation and will probably dis
pose of his stock holdings in the
club. Indeed, it is quite probable
that Mrs. Dunn will sell the club
before another season gets under
way. That was rumored this past
summer.

WASHINGTON. April 27.-The

the whole delegation would be for
the Haugen farm relief bill as op-

who was not would be beaten in the
Indiana primaries.
Settle also had a long conference
with Senator Watson and said the
latter's attitude on the farm legisla-
ton was satisfactory" taken to IN
dicate that Watson will stand for
the equalization measure. The latter
was in committee, however, and
could not be cached by newspaper
men.
ANY Congressman from a mid.
western State who votes against
this Hugen measure will be beaten
either at the primary or general
election, and if President Coolidge
were running in Indiana today he
wouldn't get enough votes to know
he was running, in view Of his at

Machine Guns.

By United Press
MADISONVILLE. Ky, April 27.-
With machine guns mounted at each
entrance OF the courthouse here,
Bunyan Fleming, Negro, went on
trial today on charge Of criminal
attack on a young white girl.
Two hundred National Guardsmen
patrolled the streets and manned the
guns as Fleming was brought from
the county Jail through a gantlet Of
ominously quiet and hostile-eyed
Kentuckians.
Following Fleming's trial Nathan
Bard and Columbus Hollis. both Ne
groes, will be placed on trial on the
same charge. Hollis has confessed to
attacking Miss Nell Breithaup, 16,
near here, on the night of April Z,
authorities say, and his alleged con-
fession implicated the two other Ne
groes.
Death by hanging will be asked
for Fleming, according to prosecuting
attorneys.

HAS MAJORITY SUPPORT

Four men and a woman, city
school board members, will face each
other around a table tonight. In
their hands rests the fate of hun
dreds Of Indianapolis school chill
dren.
Their action, 1t was expected, will
conclude the nine-year controversy
over the location and erection of the
new Shortridge High School.
Yet it may be the type of action
which will only prolong congested
conditions at Shortridge.
Three board members, President
Theodore r. Vonnegut. Mrs. Lillian
Sedwick and Charles w. Kern, the
majority faction, have decided on
immediate erection of the new Short.
ridge at Thirty-Fourth and Meridian
SITS. to house 1900 pupils.
Cost 100000
They declare that such a building
can be erected for 100000 and will
be ready for occupancy by January,
1928.
They will ask consideration of a
program for the erection of two
junior high schools, when financial
conditions permit to support Short
ridge.
Two other board members, Fred
Bates Johnson and Charles r. Yoke,
the minority, are expected to take a
stand for a building to accommodate
$500 pupils.
II so, the three members will de-
mand a new site be bought. I'M
mediate erection of the building will
be abandoned.
Procedure Planned
Procedure planned by the majority
faction is:
\ Submission of the 1900 building
'plan and supporting junior high pro
gram.
Authorization for architects to pre-
pare new plans for the building.
Formulation of plans for breaking
ground for the new school this
September. A
Appointment of a committee Of
members Of the Shortridge teaching
staff and the school city's educa-
ton department to consult with
architects.
Consider Program
The board already has begun to
consider the supporting program for
the new school. Broad Ripple High
and School 10, Thirteenth st. and
Ashland Ave. which has several
vacant rooms, have been looked over
as the starting points of the junior
high development program
Location of School az will be CON
sidered by the board. The school is
