Freddie Choquette and George Bell who came back to town this week from a prospecting trip in Bradfield Canal, report that they came upon tracks of two moose at Big Head Toms Creek.

A moment later cool wind struck

had started. The last rays of after

Of Papeete into golden mirage.
1t was the first sight of land for

that weirdly haunting song. "E M0M

Perfectly synchronized. the drum

curved sides of the peculiar wooden

The natives began that sinuous twist

all South Sea Island dances.
Watching the swishing grass skirts,
the shapely curves. the bronzed
bodies, Burke felt his pulses quicken.
He heard Browning's voice saying in

Burke realized then that the drums

sharply explosive beat of sound,

dancers.

-Four Stars
For Match
BY SID KATZNELL

War has been declared! Masons
VS.. CaseyS!
Don't get alarmed folks. The
Masons and the Knights of Co
lumbus are just going to hookup
in their annual bowling match
March 81 and April 4.
Realizing that bowlerS of today
possess more endurance than they
did when the game was green, Of
ficials have increased the match
from the original five games to 10
games.
First Block at Rendezvous
The first block will be bowled on
Tad Howard's reconditioned Rem
devious Alleys, the second is ten
tatively scheduled April 4 at Con-
vention Hall, but may be shifted
to April II because many of the
participants in the match are ex-
pected to roll in the National
Championships at Hartford, Conn.,,
which ends on April 4.
In recent years the Caseys had
little trouble disposing of the Ma
sons, winning 1912 to 2,870 in
1884, and 3,078 to 1854 last year.
However the Masons think it
will be a different picture alto
gether this year. They have four
new bowlers ready to fire at the
Knights in whip" Litchfield, Sam
Simon, Preston Ellis and Ed
Cleary. The Masons believe the
newly acquired four, coupled with
the three stars of last year-Irving
Billheimer, Charlie Phillips and
Bill Wolfe-will bring home the
bacon.
Litchfield, known as Washing
tons Famous Unor h cd x
Bowler" is carrying a 121 aver
age. Simon has a 120 average:
Ellis, 118, and Cleary, 1T, which
is not a ba0 team average in any
mans league
Phillips, Captain
Phillips will act as captain for
the MaSons, while Freddie Moore
will pilot the CaSeys. Moore sup
plants Joe McGolrick, who has
been forced to give UP bowling
because of illness.
The rest Of the Knights lineup
includes Eddie ESpey, who is a
pretty good bowler, too; Norman
Schroth, Joe Pricci, Tony San
TIM and Frank Mischou.
Santini did some mighty fine
maple spilling in last years
match. He rolled 112, 127, 1873,
173 and 119 for a 664 set, the
highest set of the contest. Irving
Billheimer's 622 set was high for
the Masons.
In preparation for this big
match, the Masons will roll the
AlmaS Temple All-Stars in the
first block of their two-block
match Saturday night starting at
8 o'clock at AlmaS Temple. Cap
tain Phillips, of the MasonS,
plans to use all of his men.
With Evelyn Ellis rolling 343
set, the Treasury Bowlers took
two games from the leading Ag-
riculture team in the Ladies Fed
eral League last night. Doris
Goodall rolled the highest game
with 132.

Ten teams will battle for
honors in two sections this sea-
son in the Federal Baseball

eide winners. Representatives of
