DOUBLE-HEADER
To HIRAM

Still going strong in the great
Masonic League race, the Hiram
team made another brilliant
showing yesterday, sweeping a
double-header.
Hiram defeated Mt. Pleasant in
the first three games, and in so
doing rolled their second conSecu
tive set over 100. 1t was 1924
and a $50 game. Last week the
same team totalled a l,720 set
and-630 game.
In the second setto, Hiram
continued their good showing for
the first two games, but in the
third one they slowed down until
the seventh frame, when they
pulled out to overcome a 32-pin
margin to win the game by 20
pins. Sam Simon, the individual
king of averages in the league,
brought his average up from 116
to 1T by two brilliant sets, 384
and 358.
These two brilliant show
ingS ran their winning streak
up to II straight and IA out
of their last IS.
Four of the bowlers Of this
great combination had double
headers yesterday. They were
Simon, Royal, Herman and
MertZ. Meany was the only one
who could not muster one of
these.
The Hiram team, to show
their consistency, did not have a
game below $40 and their high
game was $50.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.--If

February 81 will be declared the
heavyweight champion of the
world, per Sc and without futher
ado! William Muldoon, who has
established one-man protectorate
over the kingdom of the heavy
weight, so declared today in an
interview in which he outlined
the status of the heavyweight
situation for the benefit of the
writer. For the benefit of Max
Schmeling, the third person in the
championship triangle, he issued
the peremptory warning that, if
for any reason he failed to meet
the Miami winner at an carly
date, the German would be con-
sidered to have defaulted his
rights and the championship
would ride with the decision at
Miami.
"Schmeling had his chance
last summer and wouldn't take
It," the dictator added. I'VE are
giving him another chance this
summer.
