MRS. ELLIS
. SENDS AVG.
To 100
By GINO SINH

The female of the species may
not be deadlier than the male on
the duckpin drives, but when the
ladies make up their mind TO
sock the diminutive naples, they
get socked plenty.
Several of the lesser known
femmes have been doing some
tall pin walloping during the past
two months.
The most outstanding work
was that of Evelyn Ellis, wife of
Preston Ellis, who flashed into
prominence in the opening block
Of the Campbell Sweepstakes.
Fairly Decent Average
Mrs. Ellis, a member of the
Recreation team in the Ladies
District League, has held fairly
good averages during past sea-
sons, but most of this year was
far below her usual standard, a
mere "a. Seven weeks ago she
found some of her best form,
and this week had boosted it to
the 100 mark.
A similar stunt was pulled by
Annie Anderson, of the George
town Recreation team. She
yanked 80 average to SO in four
weeks, climaxing her drive with
a 343 last Wednesday.
Others Show Improvement
Many of the girls have shown
marked improvement over last
year. Loretto Leaman is carrying
q 102 pace, currently, which is
five pins better than last year
Annetta Matthew boasts four
pin betterment from 98 to 1902.
Mamie Payne has picked up four
points on her average over last
seasons 95. Ruth Rothgeb is an
other who is doing glittering
work.
An interesting side-light on
averages is revealed in the Mt.
Rainier lineup, where Mrs.
Esther Crawley is setting the pace
for the team which includes
three of her daughters, Helen,
Sadie and Catherine. Mrs. Craw-
ley has a 96 average.
In contrast, Margaret Leaman,
former Meyer Davis Sweepstakes
queen, who was expected to be
one of the big stars of the year,
is finding difficulty keeping above
the 100 mark.
Battle For Second
A nip-and-tuck battle looms for
runner-up honors in the Ladies'
District League between Colum-
bia and Rendezvous. There is lit
tie chance of these two teams
overtaking King Pin, seven games
in front, and both enjoy a nine
game lead over Georgetown, in
fourth place. The scramble be-
tween these two crack aggrega-
tionS is expected to make the
final series, which opens WedneS-
day, a snappy affair.
A goodly turnout is awaited
for the District Government
ars-Washington Gas Light Stars
scuffle at Convention Hall at
o'clock tonight. A couple of rec
ords hay topple should the Clerks
continue the spectacular bowling
which featured the opening block.
They need 1862, 81 pins less
than they got last Saturday, to
break the 10-game record set by
Howard Campbell's All-Stars last
year.
The Beaver Dam bowlers left
today for Martinsburg, w, Va,
where they will conclude their
match with Claude Caskey's crack
All-Stars tonight. The West Vir.
ginians are leading by 26 pins.

BARBETTES WIN
PIN ROLL-OFF

Barbettes took a one game lead
in the War Department Duckpin
League over the fast Adjutants
by winning the roll-off in a tie
with War College No. l, both
teams rolling 573. Adjutants lost
the roll-off and incidentally, first
place, when Statistics took the
game on Sylvester'S spare and 7
count in the extra frame. Colonel
Hickman's financiers threw the
big surprise of the night, how
ever, when they took two of their
three games with the strong Sec
ond place Construction outfit.

Every local intercollegiate event

while the two away-from-home
games mean much to c. U. and
American University.
Maryland's in-and-out basketball
team, which on occasions has per-
formed brilliantly only to be far
off top form in other contests,
will tonight endeavor to turn the
tables on the visiting Generals.
Earlier in the season, at Lexing-
ton, Va, the Generals won over
the Terps, 43 to 40.' That contest
was thriller, and many will G"
to Ritchie Coliseum tonight il
the hope that another sensational
game will be offered tonight.
Indications point to keen COM
petition in the boxing meet. v.
M. I. won over V. P. rs boxing
team by a 6-to-2 count, while
Maryland also took like verdict
from the GobblerS.
SpOtIess Record
Long Island US floor combina-
ton has yet to be defeated this
year by a margin of more than
four points, and has lost only
three games. Manhattan College
won one of these three by a 80
to 80 final; Union Temple Club,
one of the better known of New
York'S many club basketball fives,
defeated L. l., "a to 30; and,
Seton Hall took a 38 to 36
verdict. Among Long Islands
victims this year is st. Johns Of
Annapolis.
The Gallaudet-Western Mary
land game, originally scheduled
for Tech High gym, was shifted
to Gallaudet's floor yesterday.
The visitors are topheavy favor
ties to win and are said to have
an excellent combination.
C. U. appears to be in danger
in tonight's game. Loyola is ever
a hard team to beat. The Amer
ican-St. Johns game appears a
toss-up with whatever advantage
exists going to American.

GOLFERS EQUAL
COURSE MARK
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Maury Fitzgerald, of Kenwood
Country, and Russell Hollebaugh,
contact man between a local
sports goods store and the golf
pros, today are joint holders OF
the better ball course record of
the Indian Spring club. Several
years ago. j. Monro Hunter, ST.,
then pro at Indian Spring, and
his assistant, George Diffenbaugh,
scored a better ball of 29-34, So.
Playing Indian Spring the other
day, Fitzgerald and Hollebaugh
clicked off So, eight under par.
They victimized Sam Rice and
Leo F.. Pass, Indian Spring mem
bers, by 6 and 5. Seven brides
and an eagle fell to their fiery
clubs, going over par only on the
final hole where both missed the
green with their second shots.
What's more, all puts were holed.
The pair shot the outgoing nine
in 80 and covered the last lap in
81, five under par. They were
driving from the middle tees but
Indian Spring is plenty long from
the mid-teeS in winter when the
raw air cuts down yardage and
bumpy greens causing agony.
Hollebaugh was in exceptionally
fine form, turning in SO, two
under par. Fitzgerald carded "a,
his eagle two on the thirteenth
featuring the match. Par and
the better ball cards of HOLE,
baugh and Fitzgerald follow:

Nevertheless, that 50 didn't
frighten w. R. Stone for he took
on Hollebaugh yesterday, the lat
ter barely winning by 2 up. The
extreme cold made it uncomfort-
able for Hollebaugh and he had

time finally returning and reporting that the
water had gone down but that the sight was
terrible to behold with the dead people lying
around ON the ground.
After q further wait, the crow was sent out.
the crow at that time being as white IS the
pigeon But crow-like, when it found the dead
bodies, its carrion nature took command and 1t
fed on some of the bodies When It returned
to the boat, its feathers had turned black and
those on board the boat knew that 1t had be-
fouled itself.
Finally the pigeon was sent forth again to
return bearing white flower in its beak. The
pigeon reported that the ground was once more
firm and could be walked upon, while the flower
informed the boats passengers that vegetation
had been restored and that once more the earth
was q good place on which to live.
Later people came up from Shipap-the
legend is vague on the location Of this section
and the method by which the people Of Shipap
were saved or created-and found the sur
vivors Of the flood whom they named Tsauwan
Yahana, meaning last years crop. This was
due, In part to the fact that they were as yellow
as ripe corn and had their hair twisted in
queues on their heads.
The legend ends with the prediction that
once more the earth will be destroyed, but this
time by fire rather than by water.

most Of these people passed the Winter in tents

The founders OF the City Of Fredericton, SS
miles from the mouth Of the river and today
the capital Of New Brunswick. were in q heart
rending plight. Supplies failed to arrive De-
fore the big stream was sealed with ice, and
starvation confronted them.
Long trips with improvised hand saeds
through trackless forests or over the glaring
ice of the river were necessary to get few
potatoes or . little corn meal for the famish-
ing ones Some were reduced to eating the
roots Of trees and an occasional rabbit brought

IN the lore Of the Cochiti Indians, a story of
! the food IS told which apparently identi-
fles the counterpart Of Noah as a Chinese or
japanese.
According to their story, the people of the
world were somehow informed that q great
flood was In prospect. The happy ones who
were to escape lived in the north mountains,
not definitely located. They built themselves
a great boat aboard which were taken the sons
Of the builders and their families together with
various animals and birds.
When all were in readiness the flood came.
The people In the lowlands, many Of them, were
unable to escape the first rush of the water
and were drowned. Others, more fortunate
temporarily, struggled up the sides Of the high
mountains, but eventually were overtaken by
the rising waters and they, too, perished.
These people, however. were turned to stone, 60
the Indian legend goes, and still remain to
this day. Queer formations Of stone are ex-
planned by the Indians as due to the positions
in which the unfortunate met death. Some
were standing, some lying down and some hold
ing others on their laps.
When finally the whole world was under
water the boat floated around until it came to
rest ON top Of q mountain.
Eventually, the water had receded sufaciently
for investigation and the chief Of the boat sent
out the white pigeon. The pigeon flew for some

men set to work and by Winter each family
was settled in . substantial residence. The
first frame structure built by the colonists was
q place Of worship.
Those Loyalists who came in the Spring feet
were the lucky ones. Two more contingents
came during the Summer and Fall, the latter
composed mainly Of officers and men of the
disbanded Loyalist regiments with their wives,
children and servants.
This group seemed dogged by Ill luck from
the first. During the voyage of the Fall fleet
one Of the ships the Martha, was wrecked on
q ledge of the southern tip Of Nova Scotia.
The ships complement was 174, including
many of the Maryland Loyalists. Ninety lost
their lives, and most Of the survivors were
succored BY fishermen.

warmly chinked with moss and bark.
When st. John celebrated the sesqutcen-
tennial Of the landing of the Loyalists In May
she paid high tribute to may noted men Of the
colonies who sleep now beneath the New
Brunswick sod.
Among these was one who was declared TO
be the best lawyer in America. James Putnam.
the kings last attorney general In Massachu-
setts
There also rests Rev. George Bisset nrst
rector Of st. John, who died in 17Ss. and
Jonathan Sewen who was attorney general OF
Massachusetts, Bay before Putnam.
But there was one man whose name was just
as widely known during the Revolutionary
War. but whose memory st. John commem-
crates not. On Loyalist day one small shop
displayed in its window some relics which
were used by Benedict Arnold when he lived
in st. John and the showcard bore the fol-
lowing inscription: Benedict Arnold-Trai-
tor-Articles Purchased at Public Sale Of Ef-
fects in 179l."

A RNOL.D, who went over to the Tory side to
take command Of the American Legion,
Loyalist Corps. went to st. John tn 1785.
From Halifax, where he had spent some
time an Official wrote to Ward Chipman, solici-
tor general of New Brunswick and recorder Of
the City of st. John, announcing ArnoldS
coming with these caustic words: ". give
you Joy Of the acquisition!"
Arnold's first move in st. John was to estab-
lish q store, in partnership with Munson
Hayte, which he succeeded in insuring Tor
$4,000 A fire followed shortly and Arnold
collected. Hayte quarreled publicly with
Arnold, accusing him Of setting the fire.
Arnold sued his former partner for SANDER
and the jury awarded Arnold 20 shillings.
This incident and many high-handed acts
turned the public against Arnold. He appar-
emily was too 'fhigh hat" for the democratic
citizens of the Loyalist city.
There was no love lost anyway. After his
return to England Arnold wrote letter to his
one friend in st. John. Ward Chapman, tell
ing Of q new cure for the gout and concluded
by declaring: would that I had the
power to give the disease to some Of my wy
good friends there!"

youth far fields looked green, and thriving New
England, with its teeming cities and alluring
prospects Of fame and fortune, beckoned. Back
to the land where their fathers had suffered

the blood of their Loyalist antecedents had
been spilled
And SO today animosities of war forgotten,
thousands Of men prominent In social religious
and business life in the United States are
proud to hark back to their LOyalist ancestry.
And the United States, which century and q
half ago Knocked and jeered their great-great-
grandfathers as Tories and threatened ven-
geance upon any who dared remain IN the
land, Is proud Of them as citizens.
The peace treaty that was drawn up imme-
diately after the war was not worth the paper
was written as far as protection OF the
Loyalists was concerned. Confscation Of prop
erty and persecution continued rampant. In
New York State alone 1000 persons were In
dicted for treason. Some were hanged to the
nearest tree and their bodies thrown to the
pigs.
The British headquarters was formed In New
York and Loyalsts focked there for refuge
from all quarters. To insure that none OF the
despised Tories" should return to their homes,
vigilance committees were formed in various
towns and villages. Any Loyalsts who fell
into their hands got very rough treatment.
