Al WRIGHT TIES
LOOP PIN MARK

AL Wright is one chesty maple
spiller today.
Last night he hung up his Sec
ond 400" Of his lifetime, 414,
and it tied high set in the Tenn
pie Major Duckpin League.
AL had 153 for his first game,
followed it up with 1877 and fin
ished with 1874. He missed No. 5
twice in the ninth frame, and No.
Z stood up on him in a "bread-
line" in the tenth, which he
promptly missed by two feet with
his third ball. He rolls with Ri
naldi Tailors. Red" Megaw had
rolled Ala earlier in the season.
Megaw also got his second high
game in the league, 165, tied by
Chief Lovett, who handed in a
800 set.
Dutch" Newman is in top form
for tomorrow nights epic CALL
Washington" scuffle at Conven-
tion Hall. Last night he plunked
the naples, for a 387 set to lead
Occidental to a 2-1 decision over
Hyattsville, in the District League.
Columbia rolled 1902 to sweep
Beaver Dam.
The Rendezvous lassies dropped
three decisions to a fast-stepping
Convention Hall aggregation in
the Ladies District League, when
they rolled 1880. Helena Koh-
ler's 342 set and Elaine Palmer's
131 game and 324 set sparkled
in the results.
Ted Widmayer tipped off a
404 set with a 152 high game in

Tony Sontini flashed in the K. c.
loop with a 389 set, Arthur Doy-
ing sparkled in the Bankers

two pins above the LOT deadline.

square deal,'" Bill states, "and
I am not taking chances of a
slip-up. The event is advertised
as a sweepstakes for bOwlerS

Bill warns ringers" that all
winners records will be
thoroughly inveutigated before
prize money is paid out, and if
any are discovered to have had
more than the limit, they will
not only lose the prize money
coming to them, but also their
original entry fee.
"The Greater Washington

been especially designed for
bOwlers who are just q bit bet

OPTIMISTIC ABOUT
FUTURE OF BUSINESS
Makers Of Girard Cigar See a
Definite Pickup

A most cheerful report comes
from. Girard cigar. It's sales are
extremely encouraging - showing
signs of out-distancing all others.
Girard always sold for a dime.
But climbing sales and lower to-
bacco-costs permitted a cut to q
nickel. Ever since the slash, Girard
has been making it's former sales
look like a shadow.
There's no wonder that thousands
take up this cigar and stick with it!
Girard has everything it had at ten
cents - deep favor; North-P Pole
coolness; and a mildness that's as
mild as milk. It "never gets on your
nerves." Men. You can smoke
Girard from your bacon-and-eggs
till you put out the cat at night
without feeling jittery!
Tobaccos from three countries
are needed for flavor and mildness
like that. And Girard has them! A
trio that never gets off -key-from
the match till you chuck the butt.
The grandest smoke-session you
ever had. And for only . nickel

Yesterday Manager Joe Cronin
had the lad at shortstop in the
infield drill and he handled him
self very we'll, in fact, so impress
sively, that the boy pilot was con-
tinually showering him with en-
couragement and praise as the
drill progressed.
Tall and Lanky
Boken is the tall, lanky and
loose -jointed individual that the
boys have been writing about,
but with it all. appears to be
unusually fast on his feet, adept
at getting the ball away from
him quickly, and possessor Of a
strong throwing arm-something
all infielders should have.
At the plate, Bob hasn't looked
so impressive yet. But Prexy
Clark Griffith believes that he
will appear more aggressive as
soon as he's had the chance to
unloosen those dangling muscles
in his arms and legs, and has had
a week or so of real batting prac-
tice-which form of training has
developed into the chief drill of
the day since the arrival Of the
regulars.
'When 1 purchased BOken,"
allows Griff, 81 got him because
he was a whale of a batSman
in the pinch. His runs-driven-in
record will prove my contention
here. But get it out Of your
mind that he's one of those
heavy hitting types. He's far
from it. Even so, / expect him
to show us something in the
way Of hitting in the next week
or SO, or when he has gotten
into his best condition"
Delivers in Pinch
Boken's work with Kansas City
last year has been discussed many
times since his purchase by Griff
early in February. However, it
might be well to say again that
the lad drove across 113 runs in
1882 and did so while hitting for
only .280 percentage. This
brings out forcibly how we'll he
must be able to come through in
those needed moments.
Manager Cronin plans giving
the youngster every opportunity
in the world to win himself a job
as utility man with the Griffs
this season. To be sure some
body must be found to help
Johnny Kerr with this most i'm
portant task and Boken may be-
come this performer if he con-
tinues to impress.
Cecil Travis, Boken's chief rival,
for the vacant utility position,
was at third base again yesterday

COe, Crime Writer,

The popular myth that it was
Jack Sharkey, world heavyweight
boxing champion, who gave the
late Ernie Schaaf his start in
the ring has been exploded here.
It was Charles Francis Coe,

who put up the first cent Of
money to back Schaaf and it was
Coe who opposed the former
sailor in a sparring bout the

It was said by all that this was one
Of the best, if not the best confer
ences in the history of conference.
The general spirit, both spiritually
and socially ran high. The collections
amounted to mor than seven thous-
and dollars.
In most cases the reports Of the
pastors were very good. There were
some few changes made in the an
po1ntment, but a a whole there were
many cases, where congregations re.
quested their pastors return It is
always encouraging to hear of con-
gegations requesting their pastors
return, because it tends to show both
pastors and congregation are trying
to fill their church obligations. There
were some new appointments of some

South Omaha, Rev L. E. Matthews
to Fort Scott, Kansas, Rev. Oliver

The radio systems have given big
place to what are called Negro Spir-

and have not differentiated between
the intelligent music of this class,
but have accepted and sent out the
compositions, reddions of the most
ignorant performers in this field. And
it is strange, though true that many
Negro churches have encouraged this
these misrepresentation Much of
this doggered not only is senseless
but sacrelegious. Let us note a few:
Sacrelege. 1t is nothing uncom-
