limitations and two-man cars.
Only One Record Survives.
Wilbur Shaw, last years winner,
led the record breaking by driving the
500 miles in an average speed of
1850 miles an hour.
The only record that remained in
tact was that of ll4526 for 200 miles,
set by Shaw in 1885 when he was
running in the lead in that race
Herb Ardinger, the Texan, drove
the fastest first lap in history last
year. turning the 2i2 2-mile course at
l160O9. Ardinger stepped up to

300-GAME ELUDES
TENPIN SHOOTERS
Two Come Within One Strike of
Perfect Score in A. B. c.
for Counts of 289.

BY tte Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The perfect
300 has yet to appear in the 3Sth
annual American Bowling Congress.
Only four perfect games have been
recorded in A. B. C. history, and the
last Of these was three years ago.
A total of 1889 games will have
been bowled by the best keglers in
the land by the close of the A. B. c.
April l9. So far, two efforts to
achieve perfection have stood out.
Carroll Davies of Milwaukee pitched
10 straight strikes. His l1th shot
was a weak hit. though in the 1-3
pocket, and left the No. 10 maple
standing. He knocked it off for a
289 game.
That total still ranks as the best
single-game score of the tournament.
1t later was equaled by George Stupka
OF Lyons. ILL.,, who opened with a
spare and then added his string of
strikes.

who buy such dogs bring their troubles
to the A. K. C.
The ordinary healthy dog of known
pure parentage cannot be sold for
small sums of money because it has
cost considerable to bring him up to
an age when it is safe to put him into
the hands of novices. A puppy should
not be sold at less than three months,
and every week over that time means
sturdier youngster. 1t is unWise to
sell puppy younger than that because
the shock Of new home, new con-
ditions, different temperature and
usually different diet is too much for
the youngster to weather.
In some sections of the United
States, the cost Of living is such that
a puppy cannot be sold for much less
than $50 and still leave a reasonable
profit to the breeder. In other sections
1t is possible to make a scant profit
at SIS. Such puppy is not a show
specimen. 1t is just a pure e-bred
healthy youngster that has been pre-
pared properly for all the germs and
the different living conditions he is
likely to meet"
