Lorraine GULL in Top Form
For Women's Dixie Sweeps
Rolls 375 in
Tuneup For
Classic

At the top of her game as a
result of a 375 set rolled at George
Tending champion in the Dixie, -
tilted her Ladies District League
average above the 116 mark for
the season. Lorraine GULL today
averred that if she can maintain
that pace Saturday she would
come pretty close to walking off
with the Herald-Times Women's S
Dixie Sweepstakes championship
However, Ida Simmons, the de,
Tending champion in the Dixie
spilled the naples for better than
1913 to establish a record of 1,151
for the nine-game classic.
Whether the No. l girl duckpin
shooter from Norfolk can dupli,
cate her brilliant feat is matter
of conjecture, but the fact re-
mains that Washington's ace girl
bowler will be in the running If
she can batter down the naples
at the rate of 125 per game.
LARGE CROWD EXPECTED
Whatever the score. Capital
fans will jam Silver Spring Ar
cadia and Rosslyn where the three
blocks of the eighth annual
Dixie" will be staged, to witness
the first local battle of this in
triguing bowling feud between the
two girl wizards of the mapleways.
In the pennant chase in the
Women's all-star circuit, the Ross
lyn pinettes won three games from
Convention Hall while Lucky
Strike stayed right on their heels
by sweeping Georgetown.
Lucy Rose topped the RoSslyn
sweep with 124-330 with Miss
Reifenberg'S 107-3O2 high for the
Hall quint. Mamie Payne'S 119-
339 was tops for the losing George
toWners.
Hazel Jarrett, of Red Circle
Food Shop, garnered high set holl-
ors of the night when she toppled
the naples at the Lucky Strike for
1876. However, Chevy Chase
was a 2-to-1 winner over the Red
Circles when Ida Weinberg came
through with 1885,
The 1910 National Duckpin
Bowling Congress tournament will

 Levy Talked? At one meeting with Kelly in the Elks' club, prior to the automobile conference in New Haven, Horwitz claims that Kelly asked him Ii Levy had talked"
 Horwitz testified yesterday that T didn't know whether Levy had talked"
 Before leaving the witness stand yesterday, Levy created Q mild sen- sation by describing conference between him and Kelly in the bed- room of Arthur Lockwood of Mid- dletown, who was Ill ct the time. He said that he went there, before making his first appearance before the grand jury, even at time when he had Q grand jury subpoena in his pocket, He had no appointment to meet Kelly there, he said, but went to tell him that he intended to make "clean breast of 1t all"

 "Kelly said would be damn fool to tell the truth to the jury ups on answering the subpoena" said HorWitz.

 He added however, I'm not dis claiming my guilt. I'm equally cuip- able"
 Kelly told Levy that Hayes, Leary, Kelly and Dunn would lie before the grand jury, to corroborate hia story, according to Levy.

Senator Augustine Lonergan or Cummings to assist Levy if the income tax difiieulties became bothersome.

KELLER, Ex-TERP
STAR, YANKEES
BEST PROSPECT
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Jan. G.N.SD.-The
New York Yankees slugging and
hitting dynasty, so long headed by
Babe Ruth and including such
preSent-day fence-crackers as Lou
Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio-to men
ton only tWo-Will be added to
next season by young man who
today is officially proclaimed as
the outstanding batsman in the
International League, the same
being Charlie Keller, the Newark
outfielder, who once starred at
Maryland U.
A left-handed swinger, he al
ready has been assigned place
on the Yankee roster, and will
bring with him from the local
clubs farm a hitting average of
1865. He could drop off by so
points or more and still do some
what better than all right as a
major Lacquer, just as Manager
Joe Mccarthy expects. That is, he
expects him to come through.
The official figures reveal also
that Keller made 211 hits to seJ
the pace in this department, and
INhe was among the leaders in
Several other important depart
ments, notably in total bases, his
total being 329, which gave him
ruhnerup honors behind Ollie
Carnegie, of Buffalo. Keller tied
for most singles, with 145, and
cracked out % home runs, eight
triples and SO doubles. He was
top hand in runs with 149, and
that the opposing pitchers re-
spected him is attested to by the
fact that he drew 108 bases on
balls, and was pace-setter in that
respect, too.
He batted in 129 runs, landing
again in the runnerup spot.
Actually, Keller was outhit by
Warren Rosar, a catcher, who, like
Keller, is with Newark and slated
for a Yankee tryout, but the latter
was in only 81 games. Keller played
$50, and contributed through that
long stretch appreciably to the
Bears final club batting average
of .301.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 G.N.S0.
Col. Jacob Rupert will be buried
today and escorting him to his
grave will be great figures of the
world of sports, business associates
and the civic leaders who knew
him as a sportsman, brewer and
a leading citizen of New York.
Throughout the nation he is
mourned Ind those who will miss
him the most are the members
past and present-of the New York
Yankees, which he built to be the
worlds champions of baseball.
Babe Ruth will be there to pay
his last respects. So will Mayor

with the colonel up at the Yankee

ball of the season. So will Senator
Robert F. Wagner and Alfred E.
Smith and John K. Tener, for -er
governor of Pennsylvania and once
president of the National League,

Walker.
Others will be Kenesaw Noun.

baseball; William Harridge, preSi
dent of the American League;
Ford F'rick, president of the Ma
tional League; Edward G.. Barrow
vice president and general man
ager Of the Yankees; Joseph v
Mccarthy, Yankee manager, and
Lou Gehrig, first baSeman and
captain of the team which the
colonel leaves behind.
They all will be honorary pail,
bearers and among these great
and famous persons will be old
employees of the colonel's brewery
who revered him as a friend and
employer.
Colonel Rupert died Friday at
the age Of II. His last thoughts
on the sport he loved and for
which he did so much-his last
words were for Babe Ruth.
After the services, the funeral
cortege will proceed to Kensico
Cemetery, near TarrytoWn, where
Colonel Rupert will be buried in
the family mauSoleum.
On that last trip, the colonel will
pass within sight of the Yankee

can stand as his tombstone.
