# AL bowling leagues have
suspended operation for the
Yuletide season, but the duck
pin maulers will have no letup.
They re about to tackle the
biggest holiday tournament
schedule in history. Two
major tournaments are listed
along with flock of little
ones.
The singles tournament at the
Lucky Strike and the Yuletide
teams, doubles and singles event at
the Northeast Temple are the top
liners, both starting Wednesday
nfght.
But standing out sharply as an
attraction for many bowling fans
Is the two.night program of inter-
city battling scheduled, for Thurs
dat and Friday at Convention Hail.
The anntal struggle between
the Convention Hall Stars and
the Brooklyn AlI.Stars, featuring
the SpinelIas, will take place
Thursday. On the following
night the Stamford Conn., team.
headed by the famous Mort
Lindsey, will make its first ap.
pearance in Washington.
The Washington times., 1928-12-24

The Convection Hall Brooklyn af-
fair is the most colorful of inter-
city duckpinE events 1T has pro-
,duced three fntercity records in the
last two years.
Two were made by Barney
Sp1nella, who will be Glenn VOL.
stenholme's opponent in the singles.
The little Ttalian-Ameriean two
years ago electrified packed house
by shooting a five-game set of 70S
that included a single string of $50.
Last year Jack Whalen and Red
Megaw tota1Ied 1858 in the doubles
for another mark.
Washington fans are as much. if
not more, interested in the singles
class between Glenn and Barney
than in the team struggle. the
Brooklynite believing it his turn
for victory Thrice has he fallen
before the undefeated Wolstenholme
"He's got to lose sometime Is
Barney's thought.

captain, Lindsey, is an all-round
great bowler, being the all.tir1c
high average man of the American
Bowling Congress and one of the
leading stars at duckpins.
Brooklyn and Convention Hall
are evenly matched in team play,
each having won once, but the
Hall has always triumphed in the
doubles and singles.

tered the tournament at the Lucky

Wednesday. One hunred teams is the
goal there. In both of these events

mostly cash, at the Temple, and ali

RIN|ER'S WIFE
ASKS DIVORCE
InfideIity Charge in Case of
City Lawyer.

George Rinier, former assistant
United States district attorney, and
more recently prominent in Ku-
Klux Klan affairs, today was charged
with deserting his wife and ith in
fidelity by Mrs. Rinier on the wit
ness stand in divorce suit brought
by her before Superior Judge Joseph
M. Miner.
Rinier is contesting the suit. Mrs.
Rinier charged that he is the father
Of child of a woman who also
posed as Mrs. George Rinier, liv-
ing in another part of the city.
Mrs. Rinier is asking a limited di-
vorce, meaning that they live apart
for a time, the man paying support
money; and at the end of the Speci-
fled time, effecting a reconciliation
if both parties agree to it.
Judge Miner continued the case
for thirty days to give attorneys and
principals time to agree on a set
tlement. If no agreement is reached,
he will take the case in his own
hands.
He ordered Rinier to pay $35 to
his wife, $40 weekly for support.

SNOW To CONTINUE
Fails to Check Vanguard of
Net Stars.

Snowfall, which began here early
today, likely will continue intermit-
tently through the day, but will end
tonight, according to J. H. Arming-
ton, head of the United States
weather bureau.
Saturday will be fair, he predicted
as good news for the basketball fans
attending the state high school
tourney finals.
The snow slowed indianapolis
traffic and street cars this morning,
but failed to dampen the enthusi-
asin Of the basketball fans.
Two tenths of an inch of a very
wet snow, which melted rapidly, had
fallen at a. m. Because of the
character of the snow, there is little
likelihood that the fakes will reach
any great depth, Arlington said.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
forest northeast of Greenville,
Maine, is being searched today fol-
lowing two reports that a large
plane was seen to descend in that
vicinity yesterday morning, the
Canadian legation today informed
the State Department.
The plane, according to the lega-
ton, might have been that of Cap
tain Hinchliffe.
A Mr.. Dean of Hollingsworth &
Whitley Co., Greenville, the legation
said, had receivd a report that a
large plane was seen to descend
twenty-five miles northeast of that
town. A man and his wife later
drove into Greenville and said they
saw plane descend into the for
est in the same vicinity.
The legation received its informa.
ton through the minister of marine
Ottawa, to whom the report had
been relayed by the Canadian Pacific
Railroad.
formed today by Secretary Kellogg
that the American Navy "will lend
all possible assistance in locating
the missing Hinchliffe plane"
Kellogg advised the London en-
baSSy to please express to the
foreign minister the deep anxiety of
this country as to the fate of
Captain Hinchliffe and Miss
Mackay, from whom 70 reports
have been received since they
started on their brave venture
westward across the Atlantic"
At the Navy Department it was
indicated no search would be made
by naval vessels unless the mystery
surrounding the Hinchliffe route is
dissipated
1t was also pointed out that few
vessels are available for such hunt,
since most of the war craft are in
Cuban waters or on the Pacific.

SUICIDE BALKS LAW
Wa1dereY Dies, But Spirit Calls

His body was found at a. m.
He had hung himself.
The first attorney came to
Municipal Judge Paul c. Wetter's
Office at 9 a. m. and asked for
a permit to see Runsunen, whom
he understood was in the deten-
ton ward at city hospital.
Judge Wetter questioned the at
torney and he was positive
Runsunen had called him at z
a. IN. and asked his legal services.
Judge Wetter granted the permit.

A FEW minutes later another
IA lawyer arrived. He too had
been called by the spirit" and
got a permit.
The attorneys met in the court
corridor and a great argument en-
sued as to which had the first
claim to the Runsunen's case.
They left together for city hos
pital to let Runsunen decide it.
When they arrived at city hos
pital they were taken into the
morgue to the dead mans body.
Later two othe rattorneys told
Judge Wetter Of the spirit" calls
from the dead man and were
given permits.
In the meantime the body Of
Runsunen, the apparently home
less wanderer who came from a
far country to seek fortune and
happiness in the Land Of the
Free, lay on a slab in the morgue
at city hospital.

and faces glowing with suppressed
excitement.
Taxis Only Admitted
Now anC then a string of taxi cabs
flashed by with the strained eyes OF
players whose test will come later
peering from the windows.
Nothing but taXis carrying players
and an occasional official car was
permitted to drive to the field house.
There were enough police on Cap
itol Ave. to put stop to almost
anything.
Thousands Of parked automobiles
spread along the streets, fanwise,
south, north and east, for at least
half a mile from Capitol Ave. and
Forty-Ninth st.
Some householders laid up a little

Inside the fieldhouSe, row upon

girders were a packed mass Of
shouting humanity, waving PEN

Cheers Rock Building
The hardwood square was empty.
Suddenly eight youthful figures
raced out on the floor and every
other sound was drowned by the
massed cheer that arose from the
section occupied by Ft. Wayne Gen.

The first real yell was given by
Ft. Wayne in greeting its opponent,

two groups, at opposite ends of the
floor, stand with heads together and
hands clasped in that mysterious
rite Of final handshake before the
game. Another whistle-lithe figures
trot into place. The game is on.
Then Comes Tumult
Pandemonium reigned supreme.
Shouts, whistles and the bang of
the ball on the blackboard. The
click of telegraph instruments and

Sun Plays Truant Role
BY MILDRED SCHOEN

Snow, slush, mud, crowds, noise,
colors-every colors under the sun.
And no sun.
The seventeenth annual State
high school basketball tournament is
on at the new Butler University
field house. Even this immense in
closure seems hardly big enough to
accommodate the shouting, cheering
mobs of young and old basketball
enthusiasts who poured through the
various entrances since early this
morning.
BY 10:30 almost every one Of the
$4,000 reserved seats was occupied.
Indiana high school kids had
abandoned themselves to two days
of revelry-win or lose-in the
States pet form Of insanity-basket-
ball.
Outside, along the sluShy stretch
of road paved only halfway be-
tween Capitol Ave. and the field
house, excited groups struggled
through the mire, colors streaming
