 Get Mate Into US.

 Back home, within ten minutes after I set my eyes on Pera Kirka, g, with her pretty little round face, I decided on her. I went to the American Consul at Zagreb and that's where the trouble began. He says got to show proof I can sup port her. I told him my Alaska standing, and he said, that won't do; I must bring back references.
 Back in the States. worked 20 days in Washing g ton trying to straighten it all out, then finally came here to get affidavits from wholesale houses and banks. I've sent them to Washington and they will be sent to that Zagreb consul. Maybe tomorrow I'll go to Wash- ington again and maybe Pera and I will return to Alaska in May.
 "She wrote me letter I belong to black soil if I don't come to you, she said, which means she will die of a broken heart"
 At one time last month Silsco thought he had strengthened the matter out. but new red tape de- veloped.

 Such action proved to be-a mis- take, for the Crocodiles, rising and falling with their leader, Mike Ugrin, behind his rolling, the high est of the night, grabbed off the first encounter with the Dinosaurs, slumped low in the second and came back to take, the third and deciding contest of the match by Wide edge from the prehistoric lizards. In so doing. the Crocs piled up the high team total of the night, 1882. Ug- rin's high scores were PA game and 583 total.
 The closing match was a case of Art Henning against the Unicorns and Art Henning, rolling alone foi the Prairie Dogs, was equal to the occasion rolling the second high to- tai of the night, 559, and taking the two first games away from the Spike-nosed horses. Herb Redman however, came back with rush fol the Uniforms in the third game oi the set, and his 220, the second high single score of the night, re. suited in the Unicorns in tha' game, rolling the high team game of the session, 603.
 The opening match between tht Wild Horse brothers, the Zebras and the Mustangs, was forerun- ner of the third match, Nichols doing the honors alone for the ze. bras, and doing them well enough to take two or the three game! as he rolled up the third high sci total of the evening.
