MIDDLE WEST
AGAIN Hit BY
SEVERE STORM
Wyoming Areas Battle
Severe Floods When
Rivers Break Banks.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 3. U.H
A mile a minute gale driving a
deluge of rain and hail before it,
swept parts of four states, causing
thousands of dollars in damage, and
sending already swollen streams out
of their banks.
Wichita, Kansas, suffered the
heaviest damage when a gale, esti-
mated at 60 miles an hour, struck the
municipal airport and tore airplanes
valued at 100000 to shreads.
Included in the airplane damage
at Wichita was the giant tri-motored
Fokker of the Western Air Express,
which landed at the airport only
five minutes before the storm broke.
The plane was a total loss.
Wheat in the vicinity of Wichita
was said to be a total loss when
the heavy wind and rain laid hun
dreds of acres of the ripening grain
flat to the ground.
The storm extended over two south
central Kansas towns, whipping
structures from their foundations at
kiowa and Hardtner, and doing con
siderable damage at Medicine Lodge.
Virtually all traffic in Greater
Kansas City was tied up for more
than an hour while a fierce rain,
hail and wind storm whipped pedes-
trians and motorists and put hun
dreds of telephones out of commits
sion over the two Kansas cities.
Nearly an inch of rain and hail
fell in less than 20 minutes and
flooded hundreds of Easements.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 8. U.R)
Large areas of south and west
Cheyenne were under water today as
result of a cloudburst which sent
diminutive Crow creek over its
banks. One woman was drowned in
the sudden inundation, three motor
lists narrowly escaped death and sew
eral persons were unaccOunted for.
Scores were rescued from their
homes by firemen in boats after
they had Jailed to heed flood warn
ings. Nobody believed the creek
could do any damage.
Collapse of two big dams on the
Hereford ranch east of here added
to the flood danger and threatened
to inundate sections of Grober and
Sterling, Colo.
Many cabins of tourist camp on
the bank of Crow creek floated
downstream and it was believed sew
eral persons were taken with them.
A complete tieup of traffic was
feared as many trains and motorists
were stalled. The Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy tracks were washed
out north and east of here.
Police and firlmen patrolled the
flooded areas to prevent pillagine
and scores of volunteers aided in the
search for any additional victims.

DEWITT PLAYS
GONzAGA
First Quarter

Bernard kicked off for Dewitt
and when both teams failed tc
gain on the muddy field an ex-
change of puntS followed. With
AL and Jake Farrell bearing the
brunt Of Gonzaga'S defense, the
Purple held its heavy opponents
well in check.
Buddie BuSsink. Gonzaga quar-
terback. and Larry Freund. half
back, got away for several sub
Stantial gains early in the period.
Dewitt led when Tom Keefe
started a promising parade that
ended at midfield at the quarter
Score-Devitt, o: Gonzaga, 0.
Second Quarter
Both Gonzaga and Dewitt opened
up scoring attacks during this
period. Gonzaga was first to
tally. Getting the ball in the
opening minutes, the purple,
headed by BuSSink and Freund,
marched to Devitt's 19-yard mark
An untimely penalty for unneces-
sary roughneSs then sent Gonzaga
without four yards of a touch
down, after failing to rush the
ball over in three tries the Purple
counted when McVean passed to
BuSsink behind Devitt's goal line.
A similar pass for the point failed.
Tom Keefe and Abramson were
outstanding in a parade that pro-
duced the tying score near the
end Of the quarter. After these
baIlrunners had featured an at.
tack to Gonzaga's 19-yard mark,
Knott cut loose with a pass to
Bernard, which netted eight yards.
Keefe circles left end for touch
down Immediately afterward. A
pass for the added point failed.
Score-Gonzaga, s; Dewitt, 6.
Third Quarter
Several breaks for both teams
presented themselves in this
period, but neither could get any
where.
Shortly after kicking off, Con
zaga recovered a Dewitt tumble
in midfieId. BusSink shot seven
yards off right tackle, but Tan.
CORA broke through to block and
recover Bussinks kick.
Jake Farrell regained the ball
for Gonzaga Immediately after
ward when he intercepted Knots
pass and stepped ten yards to
Devitts 42-yard mark. Failing
to gain, Bussink punted and
Abramson was chased outside on
his own 40-yard mark.
Abramson got away to q 20
yard off-tackle gain and carried
the ball deep into GonZaga'S ter
ritory late in the quarter. Con
zaga braced, however, and held
for downs just before the whistle.
Score, Gonzaga, 6; Dewitt, s.

The Washington times., 1929-12-07

Mrs. Catherine Quigley, Of the
leading Recreation team Of the
Ladies District League, and the
strong BeequeS, Of the Washing
ton Ladies' League, is occupying
the runner-up position and is Sc
lected by the experts as the one
to be defeated for second money.
She captured third prize in
the event last year with to
tai of S36 for the nine games.
Incidentally she shares with
Miss GULL the distinction of being
the only women bowlerS to record
sets of better than 800 in every
block of sweepstakes competition.
Her mark for the six games to
date is 622, getting sets of 800 and
319. Last year she registered
block totals of 80, 314 and 312.
Just how closely the field back
of first place is punched will be
seen from the following tabulated
standing of the 10 leaders to date:

Miss Preble, who finished fourth

totals of 354, $40, 343 and 339. Her
1879 score is high individual game
to date in the Ladies District
League. AS captain of the ma
tional champion King Pin team
she will likely be favored by bowl
ing on her home drives tonight
and may manage to cut down the
12-pin lead Mrs. Quigley has over
her.
Immediately behind the leading
ten the next group are so close
together that Mrs. Marjorie Bradt
Smith, now twentieth in the
standings, is only 16 pins be-
hind Ann Ford. so that the out

This racing parlance Of the
northeast star is typical Of his
line Of thought, as those who
know him best will attest. His
comparatively low averages to

Capital leagues are due, he claims,
to the efforts he has to devote
in struggling to make his way
to the pay-off windows of the
big Maryland racing plants. Now
that taps have been sounded to

The great bowling war with

Frank Barber, the grand vizier
Of things bowling in Connecticut,
and Leo Rinaldi, popular head
man Of the powerful Grand
Palace team, National Capital
League sensational leaders, have
come to a definite agreement
regarding dates and details.
It will be ten-game total pin
affair for team, doubles and
singles. with the first five-game
block In each event scheduled for
the Stamford drives. Saturday,
December %. The final block
will be rolled in Washington on
either the Lucky Strike or Coli
scum alleys, Saturday, January s.
The ConnecticutS viii have an
all-star aggregation in the fun
sense of the word. Their team
will be picked from Jack White
and Joe Porto, Of New Haven:
Carl Frisk and Ray Gaines, of
Hartford; William Tato, Of
Waterbury; Nick9 Tronsky and
Joe Gacek, of New Britain. Prac-
tically every large center Of popl-
lation will be represented.
Howard Campbell will roll
the singles for Rinaldi. He
will also bowl in the team
event. The other team mem
berS will be the Grand Palace
regulars, Ollie Pacini, Make
Rosenberg, Paulie Harrison
and Jack WOlstenhOIme.
Make Rosenberg will hold up
one end of the doubles and
either Paulie Harrison or Jack.
WolStenholme the other.
Howard Campbell has been go

Carl Frisk distinguished him

Congress. He placed sixteenth
in the singles with a nifty $50,
and was twelfth in the doubles
events with O'Brien, contributing
a 371, and with his classy $3.50

garnered eighth place in the all
events. The best display of con-

All the other candidates for the

Lorraine Guilli blasted all hopes

Balboa snapped out Of its
slump (adv.) and took three
straight from De Soto. The first
was a contest, the second a run
away and the third was close
until Ancharman Van SAINT gar
nered IS pins in the last three
boxes for a ISL game. His set
was $40, both game and set being
the evenings second high. With
able assistance from the rest Of
the cast, the team rolled second
high game Of 500 and high set
of 1889.
In the meantime Santa
Maria and OvandO, tied for
second place, engaged in the
gentle paStime of knitting
each others chances.
Each won a game easily, and
Ovando took the odd by a small
difference, to hold second place
undisputed. Ovando's SGT was
high game. Trinidad, also tied
for second, squeezed one game
from Christopher, who galloped
away with the other two.
Marquette won the first two
from Columbia, who turned the
tables in the last game. Mar
quette has won IL of its last is
games.
Genoa dropped one to Sal
vadOr, which was not decided
until the ancharmen had
rolled. GenOa's 1,6O6 was
second high set.
Pinta lost its third straight set,
this one to Nina, which was on
the warpath led by Stelski, who
contributed 161 game and 800

least half a dozen other bowlers
turned in games better than 1870.
