What a race! What a race! Since the Langlois' circuit opened alleys three weeks ago, the siy team alleys htree weeks ago, the six team circuit are well punched for the top position, with three teams tied for first place, and the three re- maining outfits are one game be- hind in the standing. It wouldn't surprise this columnist if the en- tire group would be tied at the end of the first series which comes 10 an end in two weeks.
 Welcome to our fold, Old Timer. The old Timer we refer to is our great loyal rOoter Dave GilbertsOn, who joined the ranks of the cham pionship Rubber Room crew last Friday, and he didn't do very bad either in bowling for the first time in II years. Dave connected for S4, 80 and 97 scores in the three games.
 Bits picked here and their at random in the AMIGO bowling league at the Grand Alleys; Mau- rice Brown, formerly g. local boy and now of the Centerville Stars, IS pulling strong for Jack Nordlund and his Shipping Room quartet to win the bowling championship this season. Ken Strout, the Port land, Maine boy who made good in the big city, punished the pins hard for a 295 mark, and enabled the Shippers to down the Weavers | twice out of three games. ... Paul Doc" Dente, our little treasurer, 1 was & rather peeved young man, after his team dropped two out | of three verdicts to the Carpenters. Just little friendly advice Doe" why not try a smile instead of a frown, whether in a losing or win ming mood, and you'll find 1t works | wonders?.. Little Jerry Gagnon, : from the Amreican-Franco club, |, had a terrible off night last week, and his individual average dropped from second place standing to sixth place, and now carries the average of 102-7.. For the first time in his career, Wilburt "Gavvy" Gre gory hit for a low score of "a in the opening game against the Car penters. Jim "Corncracker" Harty has annexed a new monicker of "Albf' to his credit, and states that his poor showing of last week, with an average of 275 pinfall was due to a silver in his finger, which he couldn't locate throughout the day. We have just learned that | Tony GuZzardi, Carpenters anchor man, was quite an athlete in his younger days. Ten years ago GuZ- zardi featured at baseball and foot ball sports in Middletown, Conn, but for an injury he suffered in a football contest, he would still be seen participating in different sports aside of bowling. Tony is one of the best bowlers in our cir cult, his average thus far is just an even 105. Hinton Green, Jacko Herrick and Walter Budd, three veterans of the Parcel Post Station on River street, have issued chal- lenge after challenge to Corn cracker" Harty for a match game or series of games, with Harty's Carpenters, but the latter has turn ed down the kind offers time after time. Harty states that his men are not yet fully prepared, but with
 a few more practice sessions under their belts, he will welcome the | challenges

FEW CHANGES IN
 MAJOR STANDINGS
fRv United PreSS)

 baseball teams finished the 1881 season in exactly the same place which they won during the 1880 season and only two teams, the Red Sox and Phillies were able to advance more than one place.
 The two tail enders of 1880 ad- vanced to sixth place in their re- spective leagues, but no 1880 sec ond division club was able to ad- vance to first division. Compara- tive standings for the two years are:
 American League 1880 1881 Philadelphia Philadelphia Washington New York New York Washington Cleveland Cleveland Detroit St. Louis St. Louis Boston Chicago Detroit Boston Chicago
 National League
 1880 1881 St. Louis St. Louis Chicago New York New York Chicago Brooklyn Brooklyn Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Boston Philadelphia Cincinnati Boston Philadelphia Cincinnati
 The Robins and the Cubs were outstanding disappointments in the National League. The Cubs, expected to furnish St. Louis toughest competition fell IF full games behind the leaders while the Robins, favored by many to win the pennant, were an ad- dition four games in the ruck.
 In the American League, Wash ington was the chief disappoint- ment. The Senators were counter upon to give Philadelphia a fight right down to the finish line. Their early season play appeared to Justify these expectations but the Senators lost heart in the closing weeks and dropped to third place by losing their final three games to the New York Yankees.
 St. Louis National League vic- tory made the Cards the first re- heating champion in the major cir cult since 1924 and made the 1881 world series the first between two defending champions since the New York Yankees and New York Giants met in 1923 for the third successive year.

QUIZ
RHEEM FIRM
OFFICERS
Details Of the Transactions
Involving Westminster and
Broadmoor Apts. Sought

The search for millians Of dol
lars believed lost to customers
when the Swartzell, Rheem &
Hensey Co. crashed last January
is being continued this afternoon
with creditors questioning Ed
mund D. Rheem and other Off
GERS of the firm regarding details
of transactions involving the
Westchester and Broadmoor prop
critics.
The task of eliciting informa-
tion is being handled by Attorneys
E. Hilton Jackson. George E. Sulli-
van and S. w. Richardson.
Since the examination recessed
Tuesday afternoon these attor-
neys and Conrad Syme have con-
Quoted a painstaking search Of in
dividual customer cards at the
company's office, comparing their
findings with the ledger sheets.
The total of approximately ST.
165, 1000 in unpaid customer notes,
believed to be still outstanding,
and which had been secured by
the Shoreham Building and two
units of the Westchester, is ex-
pected to be materially increased
by the disclosure that others Sc
cured by the Broadmoor have
not been paid.
The representatives of creditors
contend that when a first trust
of $1,250,000 against the Broad
moor was released Swartzell,
Rheem and Hensey refinanced
the deal through securing a loan
of $1,100,000 from the New YORK
Life Insurance Company. This
went into a first trust and the
mortgage banking house, it is
claimed, then placed a second
trust of $15O,000. Many Of the
notes secured by the first trust,
they say, have not been paid.

ACTION
Mrs. Dorothea Avaunt Files
Answer to Mates Suit and
Recites Marital TangIeS

Mrs. Dorothea Mae Avaunt, "a
year-old bride of Thomas l..
Avaunt, so, who recently sued
her for annulment of marriage
on the claim she was not di-
vorced from a prior marriage,
today replied to her husbands
suit by saying that she did not
have to be divorced from her
first marriage as it was illegal
in the first place.
Mr.. Avaunt filed his suit last
week and at the same time asked
the court to enjoin his wife from
selling, borrowing money on or
removing a new automobile he
had given her as a wedding
present. He declared they were
married January 8, last, and he
later discovered that her first
marriage had not been dissolved.
Through Attorney Lawrence
Koenigsberger, the bride states
that on August 8, 1925, with the
consent of her father she went
through a marriage ceremony
WIN EDWARD "A. NellS, DuC asserts
that the marriage was void be-
cause NeilS had not been divorced
from his former wife who he
married in Germany on Decem-
ber IL, 1920. Her present hus-
band knew of the former mar
riage, she says.
She also, denies that she
intends to cucumber the auto
mobile with loans and asserts
that she is the legal wife Of Mr..
Avaunt. Through her attorney
she says that if he wants pos
session of the machine he should
sue for it in law courts because
it is not proper to join a suit
for possession of property in a
suit for annulment of marriage.

1880. in spite Of the fact that
S. N. Acker, by some fantastic
process of reason, has during
the past eight months used
every perniciOuS device of the
manipulation Of facts to disrupt
the business and administration.
He has brought suit against me
personally and against my wife
endeavOring thereby to enforce
his contemplated cOnfiScatiOn Of
the estate of ANDERSON B. Lacey,
deceased"
