HOUSE
EXPECTED
At MATCH
BY R. D. Thomas

The largest crowd OF the bowling
season will watch Convention
Halls crack performers have it out
with Splnella's Brooklyn All-stars
next wednesday night at conven.
ton Hall, it was predicted today
following a check.up of the ad-
vance sale of tickets.
A complete sell.out of all reserved
seats and standing room is a
virtual certainty, according to Al
Gardner, the Convention Hall
manager.
First come, first served ut Con.
vention Hall and the Arcadia, /"
Gardner chirped. land even with u
fuH house We lose money"
It was inevitable that the
bowling manager mention the
loss. That's the way of
business man putting on q
party. The Washington.
Brooklyn match, i'm spite of q
big crowd last winter, cost Con-
ventiOn Hall approximately $500.
The Washington-Boston show Of
two seasons ago showed a deficit
Of nearly $500. But the biggest
loss of all, financially, was the
Observation-Disclosures battle. This
cost Convention Hall $500. but no
admission fee was charged.
The admission fee, and it's an
undeniable truth, is levied merely
to make it practicable for Wash.
1ngton bowlers to see the stars of
other cities. The Pittsburgh affair
proved that no bowling alley can
stand the expense Of these inter-
city matches.
Convention Hall, in all Of the
big events It has staged, has
stood responsible for all ex.
penses, including transportation
of the visiting bOWlers as well
as the Washington representa-
tiyes,
Gardner will charter a special car
to take the Convention Hall team
and its rooters to Brooklyn for the
return engagement January Z.
Twenty-Five per cent of the gate
receipts here will go to the Brooklyn
team. Due to a lack of space in
the Brooklyn establishment the re-
ceipts there have been disregarded
in the arrangements. The Brook
lyn team Is welcome to what il may
gain from admission fees at its
own establishment.

FACE JACK

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.--Jack De.
laney. former light heavyweight
champion, and Joe Jacobs. his new
manager. apparently have thier
signals mixed.
After Pete Reilly had sold
Delaney's contract TO Jacobs for
$4,000 Delaney announced In
Bridgeport, Conn.,, that he would
box Tom Heeney In New York
on either January 20 or "a,
under the promotion Of Tex
Rickard. Delaney further 40.
serted that the Heeney.Jack
Sharhey bout would not be held
IN New York on January IL as
scheduled.
Commenting today on DeIaney's
statement, Jacobs said Heeney and
Sharkey would 90 through with
their bout as scheduled, as far AZ he
knows, and that Delaney probably
would take the, winner two weeks
later.

Gallaudet opened with great power
and accuracy, running away from
the Virginians inside of five min
utes. At half-time the home team
was leading, ~ to 6, with Bridge
water utterly unable to penetrate
the Gallaudet defense or to keep
Cosgrove, Dyer and Miller from
counting with great regularity.
Gallaudet continued it's furious at.

Bridgewater's efforts until the final
quarter when the visitors did some

Irresistible Beauty

Girls are so lovely when their hair fairly entices you to touch 1t and stroke its luxurious silkiness. That's why it is SO noticeable when this part of ones toilette is neglected. There is such decided contrast.
 It Is 50 easy. too, to keep tho hair young, alive with its natural color and 50 soft 1t feels like maribou that there is no reason to deny your self this daintiest charm.
 Two things will do it-your hair brush and Danderine. Get one of the generous 35c bottles Of Dander- inc from your nearest dealer. wet your brush with a few dashes of it, and draw 1t through your hair clear to the scalp. with long, even strokes until each strand is alive and glow ing, free from dandruff and that oily film which only Danderine can remove. It takes just a few min utes. There is nothing greasy about it, and 1t does not dry out the hair so that you have to use greasy things afterward to bring 1t back to life.
 From then on you will enjoy the thrills which come to all girls who keep themselves good to look at. and you will never let a day go past without using Danderine. More than million girls have made it habit. It will help to keep in your waves. [)a.nddine n:Mskes Gxeams Qf

 Assistant-Prosecutor Clarence 0.

Illinois.
 It was charged that steseman had turned over to John A. Dickerman. who for 10 years had been with Remington but later had become connected with tho Western Cart ridge company. approximately 1000 plans and blueprints, the product of three score of years and gathered at tremendous cost by the Reming. ton Arms company.
 It was . story of . man who was tempted and who wasn't smart enough to put temptation aside. Lister said. Now Stegeman stands discredited in both tho Remington company and the Western company. | Through his own folly he has es- tablished a reputation as a man not worthy of trust and confidence. He is without a job and has already brought upon himself greater punishment than 1t is within the power of this court to inflict."

 Rome, May A R-A communi- que issued by the Italian ministry of aeronautics today says:
 Commander De Pinedo should have arrived at the Azores during the night. His failure to arrive causes the supposition of a forced landing in the ocean. due perhaps to low visibility at the Azores last evening or an accident to the motor of the machine. Premiera Nusso- lini this morning sent radio mes sages ordering all Italian ships near De Pinedo's route to search for him. The Atlantic is calm.
 The communique was held up un- til nearly noon so as not to dampen the enthusiasm of today's celebra- ton of the twelfth anniversary of Ttaly's entry into the World War. The celebration began with a mock battle. Nearly fifty scout and bombing planes dropped bombs, and anti-aircraft batteries answered from the hills surrounding the city.

Federal Board Announces Wave Length AlotmeDs

Washington, May 2l R-Re-cast- ing of the radio broadcasting web which the federal radio commission will put into effect June l, was an. nounced today. with the re-assign- ments of wave-length and power af- fecting the 600-odd transmitting sta tions all over the country. Along with the announcement the commits sion made public it's general order. requiring stations to go on the new wave lengths at a. m.. a week from tomorrow, and stay there.
 For the first time since broadcast ing became a general fact, the com mission said, there has been pro- vided "a sound basis for radio serv- ice to the listener" The re-assign- ment of stations and wave-lengths. it added, was not ideal. but all sta tions would be required to comply with it, and would be given oppor- tunity to present later their peti- tions for changes and re-locations. Special attention is called to the fact that the commission has no un- used frequencies to allocate" the statement continued. Every broad casting channel is filled to its ap- parent capacity and in some cases possibly overcrowded. Accordingly, any person who wants change must be prepared to show specifically what other station should be required to give up it's assigned frequency"
