Meets 0rioIe
Girl in Biz
Contest
By SID KATZNELL

Duckpin experts are giving Ma
omi Zimmerman. me of the lead
ing lady pin smasherS in Balti'
more. an excellent chance to de-
feat Ida Simmons, of Norfolk, Va,
end the worlds champion duck
pinnist, in their special match
which will take two days to con-
clude. The first two blocks will be
rolled at the Tivoli Alleys in Balti-
more this afternoon and tonight.
The final two will be bowled to-
morrow afternoon and night at
Earl Stockings Silver Spring
drives, the first starting at 2:30 p.
N. and the second at 7:30 p. m.
They are giving Miss thinner
man a good chance against Miss
Simmons for the simple reason
that the Baltimore lass is match
bowler of note. Miss Zimmerman
won the all-eventS in National
Tournament in 1882: she captains
the Tivoli Alley Girls who won
the National Team Championship
last year; she is the Maryland
Sweepstakes champion, and she is
defending champion in U. S.
Sweepstakes for women.
Averages Don't Count
Noami'S average this year is con.
siderably under that of the Nor
folk Blonde, but averages don't
mean a thing in special matches,
2s many duckpinners will attest.
The achievements of Ida Sim
mons. the No. ranking woman
bowler in the United States, will
probably stand for years before
they are surpassed. In 1884 she
was ranked No. 2 next to Lorraine
GULL. who had held the No. l
position for six years. She was
then holder of only the Is and
20-game singles records and CO.
holder, with Dot O'Brien, of the
IS and 20game doubles records.
At the beginning of the 1885 sea-
son she decided to put forth every
effort to attain the No. l ranking
position. She entered every event
in the country, against all the
best boWlerS, asking no favorS,
seeking no easy spots. and making
no complaints. With hard work
she achieved her goal and more
besides. Not only was she ranked
the No. l bowler in the country,
but also was voted the most valu-
able bowler to her team in the
United States. In attaining these
honors Ida established a world
record with her 118 average for
"a games in the Norfolk Ladies'
League, which she has so far this
season surpassed by three pins in
two leagues.
Breaks Record
She boWled eight 400 sets dur
Ing the season on various alleys,
her high set of 443 being another
world record. In this set she
also set the world single game
record Of 1872. She was the win
ner of the Dixie with a record
1,119. She won the GULL Sweep
stakes when was so ill she could
hardly stand and made no COM
plants. and collected an average
Of 1T for 299 games bowled
throughout the season.
The test is 20 games and total
pins will decide the winner.

BLOWING ROCK WINDS
UPHOLD NOTED LEGEND

Blowing Rock.-Jan Diemes, form
er consul for Holland at Charleston,
S. c., found that the wind currents
which are supposed to blow back any
light article tossed off Blowing Rock
may eventually return that article to
the owner.
Taken to the rock and told of the
legend, Diemes tossed postcard into
the 700-foot gulf of air. The card had
been addressed to him by the local
chamber of commerce but had been
handed to him instead of being mail
ed. Diemes tossed it out-and down
it went out Of sight.
Three weeks later, however, he re-
ceived the card at his hotel here two
miles from the rock. It had been sent
to Charleston, then to forwarding
address in another North Carolina
city, and then here.

Heath had now reached the dog and

There were two sharp reports. The
Doberman staggered forward on it's
side and went limp, lying very still.
When we reached Wrede, there was
no movement in his body. He lay on
his back, his eyes staring, his arms,
drawn up, as motionless as death. His
throat was red, and a great pool of
blood had formed under his head. 1t
was a sight / wish I had never seen.
Enright came numbering up, his
mouth open, his face the color Of
chalk.

Vance stood looking down at
Wrede, smoking complacently. He
turned to Enright.
cts quite all right, don't v know"
he said in a hard voice. "It serves
him jolly well right. He'd beaten and
misused the animal in some outrage
Gus fashion; and this is the dogs re-
venge."
Vance knelt down and felt the
PROSTATE mans pulse. Then he lean
ed over and inspected the wound in
Wrede's neck, nodding slowly. He
stood up and shrugged.
"He's quite dead, Markham" he
said without the slightest emotion.
"The dogs fangs severed the jugular
vein and the carotid artery. Wrede
died almost at once from the profuse
hemorrhage and, possibly, an air en-
bolism. No use rushing him to
a doctor's."

2O7 PERSONS STERILIZED
OVER FIvE-YEAR PERIOD

Raleigh.-The state of North Caro-
lima in the last five years has steril-
lied 207 persons who were mentally
diseased, feeble-minded or afflicted
with epilepsy.
The state eugenics board created
by a 1881 law after a number of
sterilizations had been performed UNI
der a previous act, has authorized 225
operations after hearing 23O petitions
and 81 of the authorized sterilizations
have not yet been performed. There
were 40 operations performed under
the old law and there have been 158
under the present statute.
A 1885 amendment to the law
which allows persons by their own
consent to be sterilized is expected
by Secretary Brown to result in an
increase in the sterilizations.
Nine persons have already applied
under the new provision, which al
lows the operations without service
of legal notices by the sheriffs of the
respective counties.The petitioners. if
they are 81 years of age, and have
not been adjudged mentally incompe-

ton for the sterilization as must the
