 High Three-J. Nelson ........ Se! H Team--Wookey.s Commercials 54s II. Team--Nelson's Profess'als lbSC
 The "" Mems Bowling league took off on the second week of the new season at the "" Alleys last Monday evening. Captain John Nelson with a., fine 369 score lex his hard hitting team to Q clean sweep victory over Al Drexler's All Stars (?), and incidently romped into first place in the league stand ing with five games won and only one lost. Every man on the win ming team was rolling in tho 800 class and could have won most any bowling match that evening. The All-Stars, who were leading the pack were set back into tie for third. Ars Boys had a bad slump, Dostaler being the only one to hit the 300 mark.
 Ed. Divers Industrialists took the measure of Wally Wookcy's Commercials two games to one, setting Wally's Team back from . first place tie to second position in tho standing. The peculiar phase of tho struggle was that every man but one of the losing team rolled q higher individual score than his opponent, but as games and .not pinfaIl decided the issue, they had to accept defeat. George O'Meara's 322 was tho best for the losers while Divers 3O7 was high three for the winners.
 Les Beardslee's Sportsment and Camille Geigere's Businessmen who were enjoying tie for the cellar position clashed in the third match of the evening.
 LittIejohn and Merlxle with 3fO each and Capt. Geigcre with a pretty 346 score were not quite enough to stop the Bass Fisher men, Capt. Bcardslee led his team with . 325 score, and with Drumnl and Gcz knocking over the wood for 3f2 each, and Bill Wookey lending his moral support, the Sportsmen took the match by a 2 to count, thus dragging themselves up the cellar stairs to fifth place, leaving the Business men in sole possession of the depths.

 The league members are looking forward to the prize pig which Big Boy Bill Wookey Is putting up for special competition during the Christmas holidays.
 The nature of the competition has not been decided upon as yet, but the governing board of the league will make m announce mcnt in reference to the same in due time.

The two surviving enlisted

when she crashed into the sea
today told the House naval
affairs subcommittee on aero
nautics the great superstruc-
ture began breaking up in the
air.
The testimony of Chief Boats
wain's Mate r. E. Deal and
Metalsmith M. F. Erwin was
given at the opening of the first
congressional investigation OF the
tragedy which cost 73 lives.
Before the enlisted men took
the witness stand to tell their
stories under oath, Lieut.. Con1dr.
H. v. Wiley, second in command
on the great airShip, re-read his
official report Of the crash al.
ready made public.
Spared Cross Quiz
Deal said that he saw two port
side girders bend and buckle.
Confirming this testimony,
Erwin also said he saw the
girders break up.
The enlisted men were near
the middle of the block-long
airship when she. began her
plunge into the sea. Lieutenant
Commander Wiley was forward

The difference in location ap-

other parts of the great ship.
The witnesses were spared from
