When you consider that he
is accompanied by his wife, his
manager and his wife, and that
all of them are seeing America
first ,. the sum is not stagger-
ing. though it is abundant.
Travelling is distasteful unless
you travel the very best and
when you travel that way it
is amazing where the money
goes:
Remember, Hoff doesn't per-
form every night. He doesn't
average one appearance a week,
and with train fares, Pullmans,
hotels and the other enormous
expenses in between meets, he
can't pocket much.
OF course, he must be getting
more than the $3.50 a day al
lowed for expenses by the ma.
tional body Of the A. A. y.
That figure would be an insult
to any travelling man who goes
first-class.
But whatever he can, drain
out of the various meets he
participates in isn't calculated
to send him home next summer
a retired business man., you
can gamble on that. Nurml

pense charges a year: ago, but

We think they are putting
the screws down little too
tight on Hoff in the Drake and

also think he is putting the
screws to himself when he
orders away the news camera

HAL I
TOURNEY
BY Jack" MARTIN

Tonight the girl bowlers will rest,
having finished the first strenuous
week OF the annual tournament be.
ing run off by the Washington
Ladies' Duckpin Association at the
Coliseum.
These last five nights of competi-
ton have Melted some very interest
ing results.
Three "A" class teams have
roIlen astHie Hiiltoppers taking the
lead with their 1900, while the
Pubic Debt No. i team is second
with i .399a and the Commercials
third with 1877. 1t is expected
that during the coming, week six
more Class A teams will turn in
their scores, some of which should
change the above rating in at least
the second and third places.
Ten OF the eleven "B" class
teams entered in the annual event
have been checked off by the
official scorer, and so far the
Check Accounts g. A. team
stands first with 1867, Public
Debt independents second with
1,349. POstOffice G.. A. third with
1912, and Veterans Bureau fourth
with 1,S41. !
With only one more CO. class
team to turn in it's score, the teams
slated for first, second and third
money are, respectively, Bethany
with 1928, Transportation with
1852, and Crop Estimates with
1880. OF the seven teams that
have rolled, four Of them have
turned in a. score over 1880.
So far Is Glass A singles have
rolled, but only two Of the girls
have turned in a score OF 800 or
above. The last-minute rating Is:
Marjorie Bradt, 324;, Lorraine GULL,
3O2, and Louise. Preble, 298.
with scores Of sO4. 276, 274 and
273. Arendes, l.. Sullivan, Tuchey
and Wagner, respectively, lead in
that''B'' class singles race. Of
the rs singles rolled i'm this class,
six have accounted for 27O or
above.
One lone entry in the &C" class
singles has thus far strutted her
stuff, Perry setting a very good
mark of 26S.
The results compiled from the six
"a" class doubles that have boWled
are rather surprising. Boston and
Turek stand first with $40 to their
credit, Parker and Lohnes, second
with sos, and Levy and Loehi third
with 687.
: Scores Of SAP, $50 and 5SS head
the "B" class doubles. having
been rolled by Thompson and
Regain, III. Sullivan and FederIine.
and Burke and Morgan: Four
of the eight teams that have al.
ready rolled i'm this event and
class turned i'm a score OF $50 or
over.
It is surprising to- note that
Ammon and Winter, the two stand
ing first in the &C" class doubles
are there by virtue Of a 551 score
which is nine pins better than the
score of the ranking two in the 'B''
class. Second in &C. class doubles
is the Walter Kirby team with 468.
and third, Horn and Hervey with
452.
But next week is another five
nights of tournament bowling and
when that is finished, we may find
that the above ratings have all
been compiled in vain.

FIVE FAINT AT FUNERAL
Women Overcome at Services for Barbara LaNIarr 10000 Per sons File Past Caskct.

Los Angeles, Feb, P - Five women fainted in the crowd of seV- oral hundred persons who gather cd at the funeral services of Bar bara La Marr, the movie actress. who died q week ago and was buried yesterday.
 Only few friends and close ac- 1uaintances attended the funeral services, as was the wish of Miss La Marr. The crowd formed in front of the funeral chapel and fought police to get a glimpse of the casket as it was started on the way to the Hollywood cemetery.
 The five women who fainted were rescued from being trampled upon only by the strenuous efforts of police. A sixth woman was so forceful in her attempts to view the casket that she was elected from the crowd, fighting, by the police.
 With the departure Of the fun cral party many of the crowd rushed into the chapel, although everything. even to the last wreath, had been removed.
 Upwards of 10000 persons filed past the casket of the former movie actress during the three days her body lay in state at the mortuary chapel.
