POLICE SEEK NEGRO
 FOR BERLIN KILLING
(Continued from First Page)

Perry drew his gun and fired two shots at Thomas and was killed as Thomas fired in self-defense. As the shooting took place in Thomas home and several witnesses to the shooting back up their theory, it is said that there is little chance of his prosecution if he is found.
 Negroes in that section of Chris tian Lane readily admit that Perry and that Thomas is of peaceful na- ture. Perry has been involved in scarpes in the past. and at one time was arrested after a shooting affray in New Britain.
 As far as could be learned, Thom- as has no money with him and po- lice believe that he will give himself up as soon as the the suddenness of the affair wears off. It is general ly believed that he is hiding in the neighbood of his home.
 Perry leaves his wife and two small children. Funeral arrange ments are not complete pending the report Of the state coroner, who is ex- pected to report tonight.
 George Wright, a son-in-law of Perry. stated this morning that he had seen the body and that eNamin- ation revealed that there were two bullet wounds in the body, one in the right knee cap and the one that caused his death. This could not be checked up by police. however.
 Witness is Arrested
 Early this afternoon Thomas Yopp. we'll known locally, was arrested by State Police Sergeant Paul Lavin as a material witness. Yopp was brought to the police station thts forenoon by Sergeant r. J. Feeney of the local police and turned over to Sergeant IaNin, who questioned him for some time in the detective bureau.
 Yopp, according 10 the local po- lice. was present when the shooting occurred. He is said to have shot Perry during an altercation ins Der lin several years ago.

LINDY HAS RIVALS
 IN ARCTIC TERMS
Birds Fly 1t,ooo nls in Semi.
 Annual Hi6radons

Washington, D. C., May 13.-The finding of a dead bird en beach in South Africa may unlock . secret which has long puzzled American naturalists.
 The bird. an Arctic Tern, carried a small metal band on one leg with the number 54s13s and, in abbrevi- ated form, the address of the Bu- reau of Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture.
 o, l.. Austin banded the Tern at Turnevik Bay, Labrador, on July es, 1928. Four months later it was found in South Africa.
 Scientists have recognized the Arctic Tern as the Lindbergh of the bird world. It makes the longest mi- grafton of any bird, summering in the Arctic and wintering in the Ant arctic. Eleven thousand miles to a winter resort is an all-time record.
 By what route does the Arctic Tern fly from the North Pole to the Antarctic? That has been the Ques- ton.
 Mir. H. J. s. Heather of Durban, Natal, has communicated to the Ma tional Geographic Society the cir- cumstances of the important find which may answer the question.
 "The Tern was picked up by Mr. Wackrill, of Johannesburg, q few miles south Of Port Shepstone. His discovery, the Biological Survey wrote the finder. was the most re- markable case that has been re- ported in any country It suggests that the Arctic Tern leaves the northern reaches of North America, flies to Portugal, crosses the length of Africa and then hops to the Ant arctic continent
 The new evidence adds about 1000 miles to the previous 11,090 miles estimated airline flight of the species. The Arctic Tern enjoys more daylight than any other living creature because 1t lives in regions where the sun never sets and only experiences night on its semi-annual journeys across the Equator.
 Terms and other shore birds travel more widely than any other feath- cred creatures. The Golden Plover raises a brood in Ungava or North ern Labrador and in the fall wings out over the open ocean, never stopping until it reaches Bermuda. On it flies, pausing perhaps at the Bahamas, or the Lessek Antilles on the way to South America. The first of the Golden Flowers have been re- ported arriving in Paraguay before the last have left the breeding grounds. They winter" on the Ar genuine pampas where the summer sun makes food plentiful.
 Even unadventurous appearing Warblers travel far to escape the cold breath of winter. Of our Ameri- can species and subspecies :2 winter in the West Indies. A. go to Mexico. s7 push on to Central America. while 22 reach South America. It is fact for never ceasing wonder that some Warblers and other small birds fly 500 miles across the Carib- bean Sea without resting.
 Probably the most remarkable nonstop. ovcrsea flights are those of the Pacific Golden Ployer. Com- ing south from Alaska it touches at the Aleutians and then takes off for Hawaii. It crosses 2.SOO miles of open ocean. How Flowers are able

INTERCITY BOWLING
LOSING FAVOR HERE

Inter city bowling matches are likely
to be confined to doubles and singles
competition in the future. Five-man
team matches have lost their popularity.
Al Gardner, Convention Hall mana" r.
declared after the matches with StC m
ford, Conn.,, and Brooklyn bowlerS " ere
completed Saturday.
Doubles and individual matches are
much less expensive and more popular.
Gardner believes. 1t is probable that
team matches with Baltimore and Rich
mond pinmen will continue. but five
man team matches with Brooklyn and
New England bowlers are a thing OF
the past so far as Convention Hall in
tereSts are concerned.
The present campaign has brought
unusual popularity to doubles COMPETE
ton. AL Fischer and George l.. Isemann
have done much to make the two-man
matches popular. The fact that they
have offers to shoot in numerous cities,
including Philadelphia, York and Lam
caster, Pa: Baltimore, Richmond and
other places Indicates just how popular
they have made doubles battles.
Man and woman doubles leagues have
been organized here for the first time
and both nave proven big attractions
at Convention Hall, King Pin and
Arcadia.
George Lang and Ray Won Dreele,
the Baltimore alley aces, are ready to
meet the best doubles teams of the
District. They have challenged the
Paul HarriSon-Max Rosenberg team of
the District Doubles League, and In
dications are that home and home
match will be arranged for the near
future. These two pairs are about as
formidable as one could find anywhere
in the country.
Won Dreele is especially strong in
doubles competition. During the past
week he shot two five-game sets above
the 600 mark while paired with Eddie
Rommel. One of his sets was near the
$50 mark and two days before he hung

RANK.AND-FILE BOWLERS
SHINE In THE STAR MEET

IRON obscurity come the man
l. and woman champions of The
Evening Star duckpin tourna-
i ment, which came to a close
Saturday night at the Lucky
Strike drives. Two weeks ago when the
big tourney was ready to open. Clar-
ence w. Taft nor Margaret Miltner,
the ultimate winners, were considered
stars in their respective leagues.
True to expectations, the ranking
stars of the game failed to monopolize
the prizes. But three of the front-rank
pinmen finished among the first twenty,
while the same number of top-notcherS
finished among the first 10 In the wom-
ems section.
Mrs. Miltner, who carries an average
under 100 in the Washington Ladies'
League, was a real champion Saturday
night. She shot the most consistent
game of any of the woman bowlers
during the tournament, negotiating a
difficult spare in the final box of the
last game to give her a decisive mar
gin over Elsie Fischer, who was second.
Taft's Record Remarkable.
Taft's remarkable set of the opening
night of the tournament is likely to
remain on the record books here for
some time. 1t is not only the largest
five-game score registered this season,
but is one of the few sets over $50 ever
rolled here.
Rolling his first season in this Sec
ton with the st. Adams team Of the
Georgetown Church League, Taft
gained immediate recognition as a
great prospect by his sensational per-
formance In The Star tournament. He
recently came here from Naugatuck,
Conn. He is quite youngster and ap-
parently has great future ahead in
local duckpin circles. Although he
boasts an average of but 1O6 In the

earned him second place, regained
much Of the prestige he has lost In
recent competition. He and Brad

But one tie will have to be broken
before the prizes are awarded. Oscar j.

and j. F. Doyle, veteran of the drives,
are tied for tenth place. Tournament
omcials have decided shoot-off will
be necessary. One game will be rolled
before Thursday to determine which

only old-timer and independent bowler
to figure in the awards.
H1gh-game records for the initial tour
nament are held by Harold A. Neff of
the Masonic League and Rena Levy of
the Washington Ladies' and Ladies'
District Leagues. Neff gave promise of
threatening Taft's high mark when he
opened his tournament set with a ITO
count. This figure Is just one pin better
than Charley Lyons 1859 last game.
Rena finished her set with q I31 count

NEW GARDEN BOSS
DIFFICULT TO FIND
Dempsey May Get Post Left
Open by Richards Death,
New York Rum0r.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, January 7.--BoXing
~ in general and Madison Square
VI Garden more particularly, will
/ have to look far and wide be-
fore it finds another Tex
Tickard.
The one-time cowboy, gold miner and
gambling hall proprietor found the
game in diSrepute, looked upon askance
by those he himself would call the best
people" He leaves it now thoroughly
respectable sport, patronized alike by
upper and under crust.
His uncanny ability to fOreSee what
the public wanted enabled him to hang
up purses previously undreamed of and
still clear huge profits either for him
self or the Garden corporation. The
Garden, indoor home of boxing, hockey,
bicycle racing. track and field meets
and other sports, stands almost as a
personal monument to the man. 1t is
the House that Tex built. He was the
brain that made 1t pay huge dividends.
Whether another can succeed as we'll
remains to be seen.
Vice Presidents to Direct.
For the present at least, the Garden
probably will operate under the joint
direction of william F. Carey, vice
S. Hammond, vice president and assist
ant general manager. One or the other
Of this pair may eventually be selected
to become Richards permanent sue
ceSSor.
But in the event that neither is
chosen. there are others whose names
already have been linked with gossip
concerning the management Of the Gar
den.
Not the least often mentioned is the
name of Jack Dempsey The old Ma
nassa mauler, ready to fight once more
for his friend, Tex. probably will never
enter the ring again. He has often said
that he would fight for no one but Tex.
Dempsey's rise in fortunes was synony-
nous with Richards They were bound
by strong ties, not only of business, but
of personal friendship. There is no
denying that his selection to head the
boxing end OF the Gardens business
would be popular one. But Richards
success was not due simply to popular
ity. Most of it can be attributed to far
sightedness amounting to absolute ge-
Mus.
Another nominee for the vacant chair
Is John M. Chapman. car Of the six
day bicycle race game and a former
assistant to Rickard. Chapman is no
novice in the gentle promotional art
and he had the benefit of long tute-
lage from Richard, acknowledged as
the greatest master of that art the
world has seen since p. T. Barnum.
Whoever the successor. it may be
written definitely that the Garden will
complete all the projects Tex had in
mind before his death. The Stribling-
Sharkey match at Miami Beach, Fla.
arrangements for which Rickard was
making when he was stricken by acute
gangrenous appendicitis, is to be staged
on It's scheduled date, February q.
For the rest, the Garden Is hanging
out business as usual" sign.
That, Garden officials feel, is as Tex
would have had it.

could have been built there for $4,000
One years water bill for irrigating
the lawn was 81, 800 because water cost
more than beer in the blaring mining
camp. Miners relate of the period that
bottled beer was used after the manner
of hand grenades to fight the fire which
destroyed the first Goldfleld hotel.
One feature of the Northern saloon
was a. bank of deposit, where miners
and business men took their pay checks.
Deposit entries were made in a small
grocer's pass book, but the saloon gave
the depoSitors no receipts. The bank
was convenient for gamblers who went
broke, as they could get their money at
deposited money at the hank and never
claimed it..
After the 1907 panic business dwin-
died at the Northern. Rickard left the
saloon to Highley and Elliott and moved
across the street to the Palace Bar,
where he tried his fortune, but without
success. His new Northern, in Raw
hide, built almost overnight, caught the
crest of the boom trade there, however.
Always a Diplomat
When the Rawhide boom ended, Rick
ard went East, and his friends in Me-
vada next heard that he was promoting
a cattle ranch in Paraguay.
Old Nevada residents said Richard
was always quiet, careful to avoid Of
Tending customers and never coun-
tenancing trough STUFF in his resorts.
He had q reputation for charity toward
individuals and ready response to civic
appeals. His habit of keeping his own
counsel was described as playing the
lone wolf"
One story old-timers told to illustrate
Richards "hair-tr trigger" action was that
when he saw his saloon was doomed in
the fire which destroyed Rawhide, he
called John Mccormick, carpenter, and
induced him to draft an order for every
thing needed to rebuild the place. The
Northern was ablaze before Mccormick
finished making out the order, but when
it was complete, Richard seized the
paper and ran to the Western Union
Office. There he found the operator
locking his records into the safe, prepa-
ratory to abandoning the Office. Rick
ard induced him to stay long enough
to send the order. which he finished 10
minutes before the fire caught the teie-
graph Office.
