Proving that his brilliant victory
in the Convention Hall elimination
tournament was no fluke, young
Joe Harrison, Washington's latest
bowling find, is right back in the
spotlight today as star in a set
rolled by the Arlington team Of the
Athletic Club League that tied a
record.
The Arlingtons, by shooting all
games over 600 in a league set.
duplicated the record of the King
Pins OF the District and National
Capital League Of twice hitting
above 600 In all games OF q cham
pionship match.
In an early season contest, the
Arlingtons turned in trio Of $500
games. Just before the holidays,
the King Pins performed this feat
twice in a row.
Only the ArIlhgtOns and King
Pins, in all the history OF bowl
ing In Washington, have accom-.
plished two times the feat Of
spilIing 900 or more pins In
every game of a league match.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-01-05

Instead, the King Pins dropped a
pair and Of a consequence tumbled
out, OF first place. They rolled their
poorest set Of the season, barely
getting over the 500 mark In two
Of the games.

Pins in first place by virtue OF

taken by man.
'The transatlantic planes Of the

Of 40 passengers each, will make two
stops for refuling," Bellanca de-
clared today in the office of his
friend, Congressman La Guardia.
These stops will be Newfound-
land and the Azores. The planes will
be multiple and will be of
the hydroplane design. All trans
atlantic planes that carry passen-
gers, for safety's sake, will have to
be able to land in water"
Throughout today the famous de-
signer received messages of con-
gratulations from all parts of the
world. Many came from his birth.

BEING SOUGHT BY HEIRS

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 29--The death
of DIR. John W. Mcclellan, said to
have been one of the wealthiest ply
sicians in this state, last Saturday
week ago, has caused considerable
excitement among those supposed to
be mentioned in the late physicians
will. A frantic search is being made
for the document.
DR.. Mcclellan is said to have left
an estate estimated at $150,000. He
is believed to have bequeathed $780,
900 to Fisk university and Howard
university at which institutions he re-
ceived his training.
DR.. Mcclellan was aged 81 years
and bachelor. Attorney Robert N.
Owens said he drew the only known
will of DIR. Mcclellan last March 16.
The will was not found in the dead
physicians safe nor at the two banks
where he did business. Attorney
Owens said that he was considering
probating copy of the will, which
he has, if the original is not found.
Attorney Owens said, should no
will be probated, the estate, under
the law, would go to the doctors five
brothers and one sister. DR.. Oral
Mcclellan said he knew nothing of
his brothers will, but said he thought
it likely the money would go to the
universities, and he believed rel
atives would not oppose this.
