PeSSimiStic Knute Rockne, mas

five HURLEYS
LISTED ON
TEAM
BY GINo SINH

What happened to Joe Null
roe's right thumb? That is the
big bowling alley mystery Of the
season.
Without warning, and without
any cause that he can remember,
Joe discovered that his thumb
had suddenly gone dead. He
could not apply pressure with it,,
although it didn't hurt or bother
him in any other way. His doc
tors are unable to explain it.
It is a tragedy. Joe was all
set to start out on what he con-
fidently felt was the greatest sea-
son of his brilliant career.
Last year he carried on vail
antly, giving fine exhibitions OF
bowling in three leagues, District.
K. c., and Automotive, topping
q good years work with one side
Of the United States doubles title,
Paulie Harrison being his part
ner.
With such a season ur1.-
der his belt, MuIrOe looked
eagerly forward to crashing
into even greater duckpin
prominence, but two weeks
before the season opened
calamity overlook him.
The other night he was in
serted in the Balboa's 1ine-up in
the K. C. League. After gallant
but vain attempt to accomplish
something, he was forced to quit.
His scores were something like
80 and 90.
And so Joe, his thumb tightly
taped, wanders about the vari-
Gus bowling plants disconsolate.
wondering what he has done to
deserve this fate.
Jack Hurley, Washington's
foremost angler, looks on his
sons indulgently and his sons re-
turn the compliment.
Ole Jack thinks that fishing is
the only real sport for a he man,
while his boys are as equally
convinced that bowling is the
only sport to carry on musculine
traditions at their best.
On the sly, however, the father
never loses an occasion to brag
about the duckpin proWesS OF his
sons, grandsonS and nephews,
while the sons are ever boastful
of their fathers great achieve
mentS, and say so right out loud.
The Hurley clan mOnOpOlizes
the WalcOtt Hotel team in the
King Pin Business Mems
League, where it is giving as
good as it takes and sometimes
better.
Walter Hurley is captain and
is abetted by four other Hur-
leys, Ralph, Walter, jr., John W.,
jr., and, it is hoped, Happy" who
used to be quite a pumpkin on
the alleys a decade ago. Happy"
a comrade of Pop HALEY in the
days when Pop" could throw a
ball down the alleys with some
success, has been on the retired
list for some time.
That hearty daughter Of his,
so well remembered by old-timers,
is expected to resound through
the King Pin alleys on several
occasions this season.
Walter has also obtained the
services of several crack bowlers
to aid his HurleyS to conquer this
particular duckpin world. Joe
Freschi, the lengthy italian, bowls
with them, as do Diamond Taxi"
Colvin and Mike Shugrue.
Walter Hurley is also a mem

A CORRECTION

1t has reached our ears that Ger

I'd that Mr.. Cowan Smith, leadino
"ttorney of Dickinson county, is con
nected with the publication of the
Herald. Mr.. Smith has no connection
with the Herald in any capacity ex
cert that he is q friend to it and
gives it his business just like several
other attorneys of the town. And thie
may be the key to the lie. While or
his subject it may not be imperti
nent to say that Mr.. W. w. Presslev
is financially interested in the Bruce
Crawford's News, it is rumored
Mr.. Smith does not wish to be
misrepresented, hence this denial.
viii the party who started this
lie have the moral courage to ac-
knowledge he is liar?

Withdraws Petition To Cut
Two Passenger Services.
May Be Renewed

The petition recently filed with the
state corporation commission Of Vir-
ginia and the railroad and public util. :
tiles commission of Tennessee by the
Cinohfield Railroad company asking
to discontinue two of its four pass.
enger trains now operating over the
route has been withdrawn, accord
ing to announcement by L. l.. Nc
Fntyre, uperintendent. In withdraw
ing the petitions, Mr.. Mcintyre stated
that the railroad company reserved
the right to renew it if, after a reas
enable time, conditions did not i'm
prove. The chief reason given by the
superintendent for the withdraw Of
the petitions was that the roads in
various communities along the route
were almost impossible during the
winter.
Since notice of the petitions was
given patrons of the railroad com
pany have indicated their desire that
the petitions not be pressed at pres
ent. While the railroad company i
operating its passenger trains at 9
loss, it has been decided to accede to
the wishes of the patrons. Mr. Nc
Intyre stated that the withdrawal Of
the petitions was without prejudice
and that the company reserved it's
right to renew the petitions.
The decision was made, it SIS claim
ed, at sacrifice by the Clinchfield
Railroad company on account of the
financial loss which the operation of
said trains entails. In the event the
patronage of passenger trains in
creases it may be taht the railroad
can operate without heavy loss. I'm
less the loss of operation is reduced
the railroad will be forced to cut off
two of the trains, according to Mr..
Mcintyre.
