BURNER BolUls
OUer a Pair
Of Duckpin
Records
By r. D. THOMAS

Harry X. BURNER, Of the
Washington Centennial team, to-
day is the proud holder of two
bowling records. He is the only
Washington bowler that ever
rolled two sets in the 400 class
in one tournament. Beside his
name is the largest alI-events
total ever achieved by a duck
pinner Of this city.
These distinctions Burtner has
just won in the Masonic tournament
at Convention Hall, which will end
tomorrow night. BURNERS all.
events total is 1856. This beats the
previous record by one pin. Arthur
Urban two years ago rolled 1,155 in
the first tournament OF the Capital
City Duckpin Association at the
Kingpin.
Burtner caused a sensation in the
Masonic tournament when he rolled
416 with the Washington Centennial
team. He rolled doubles on the
same night with Bob Ettinger and
got $40. He came back . night
later with 4O0-set IN the singles
money. He is almost certain to
take first prize in the ali-events.
With more careful shooting In
the doubles BURNER probably
would have amassed a consider
ably larger total. He was tired
when he and Ettinger went uT
the alleys and the fatigue effected
his bowling. It made him slightly
careless for one thing and he
muffed q number Of easy spares.
Burtner long has been in the
front rank of bowlers, but this is
the first time that he has stepped
far out in front OF the pack.
Urban. OF Lafayette Lodge, Is
next to him in the singles AM all
events Arthur got 3S1 in the
singles and 1916 In the all-events

BUYING NEWSPAPER STOCKS

No investment you can make has a more di-
rect influence on your community than an invest
ment in the stocks or bonds of your town news
paper. If the paper is pulling for your town, you
honor yourself and feather your nest by backing
the paper.
Arthur Brisbane was only partially right
when he said, speaking of the Vanderbilt news
paper failures: "Don't invest in newspaper stock
The good papers have none to SELL" 1t is true
that the big money-naking sheets have no stock
to SELL It is true that many newspapers have
the backing of some ones large private fortune
and have no need to sell stock
But this is particularly true: Any rich news
paper is just as valuable a property as the per-
sonnel Of its working force happen to make it.
The individuality behind any paper is the valu-
able asset of that paper. It is the only really
valuable asset Take it away and the mere me-
chanical equipment is almost dead loss
The political canards about the Arizona Ca
zette these days are founded on an uniformed
conjecture and addressed to an unthinking pub
lie.
Notice. First the Gazette has reputation
for community spirit second, the staff from edi-
tor to auditor and all between is the closest knit
organization in the Arizona state press; and
third, the three brothers who have inherited the
name and business of Charles H. Akers are en-
dowed with three good gifts, youth, ambition, and
a spirit of harmony. You can't beat that hand.
No; it's a good investment. You could take
the press room away from the Gazette today, and
tomorrow the Gazette would come out under the
same head, by the same hands, with the same
ideals.

THE TRAVESTY AT WASHINGTON

Do congressman and senators believe the

feated in the first?
