Three Kinds OF Lies.
We'll, Mark Twain used to say
there were three kinds of lies: lies

how a guy as honest as you seem to
be in ordinary things should go so
completely to pieces morally once he

That's just the way you made it.
And now you've got in the box. 1t

'Aw, forget it, growled the Kid.
But, speaking of District records"
went on the Old Timer. "ONeil's 49,
mark has had some narrow escapes
already this season. with couple of
counts reaching Ground 175-177. but

as 1t did while Glenn Wolstenholme
was shooting his tenth box in that
last series of games between La Fay
cite Five and the Odd Fellows Stars"
"Yes?" said the Kid. Was it
close to 1922"
Expert Misses One.
Close, You said it," the Old
Timer assured him. Glenn blew one
spare break. 36-10 in the tenth
after a strike in the ninth. Wouldn't
that get your goat? And he's prob
ably the best man in Washington on
that particular type of spare break.
This time he picked out number 6.
Had he made it he would have had
17o in the tenth, with an extra shot
on the spare: in other words .a sew
en- pin count would have tied O'Neil;
eight pins placed new record on
the books
"Oh. Wolstenholme will beat it
sooner or later. anyway" said the
Kid.
Il believe you" agreed the Old
Timer. And If Arthur Urban could
pack on about 20 extra pounds to
cover up the raw surface of his nerves.
he'd wipe out every duckpin record
in the District

cause you certainly could spare that
twenty pounds: and, according to your
idea it would help both of you"
1T sounds like a joke to speak of
improving Urban's game" admitted
the Old Timer, when you consider
that he has at one time or another
held about every record in the city
and even now tops all with the five
game mark of GA. But l saw that
674 set and I'll take an affidavit that
Arthur threw away enough pins that
night, In sheer evaporation at bad
splits, to have brought his total to
700 instead of GA. He's worked
miracle in himself at that. because
ten years ago missed spare by him
would make the destruction of the
alleys a strong possibility. 1e sure
did hate to lose 'em.'
