as the top spare shooter in the Dis
trict League when his runner-up
club tangles with the champion
Rosslyn team in one of the seasons
Wlnd-up matches at Chevy Chase
last night made an all-important
spare that climaxed 448-set, the
highest ever ctalked up in Washing
ton City Duckpin Association tourna-
ment history.
A 4-year-old mark of AT held by
Clarence Purdy was tossed into the
discard as the sorrel-thatched vet
eran headlined the third night of
pin-spilling in the 30th annual
championships at the Arcadia with
games of 141, 167 and 14O. While
new fame was coming Jacks way his
A. & w. Hot Shoppes team of the
Chevy Chase Commercial League
rode into first place in Glass B
with 1893.
Tom Collin of the Petroleum
League, best known as horseshoe
pitcher, and Karl Kozee of the Agri-
culture Interbureau loop also turned
in an all-time record-smasher as
they posted 783 count to grab the
lead in Glass c doubles. Both shoot
ers who seem to reach their peak in
city tournaments reeled off consist
ent games of 261, 262 and 260. COL
Inns turned in 428, with games of
l25, 146 and 158. 1t was the Sec
ond 400 of his career and his first
under foul line conditions.
Same Old Carroll DAILY.
He didn't come through with any
breath-taking performance but Car
roll DAILY whose name used to make
the bowling headlines with regular
lty was in old-time form as he fea-
tured the Royal Tavern's fourth
place Glass c count of 1,723 with
4O1. Helping out his pal was Chick
Heltman, once co-proprietor of the
Petworth maple ways, who shot 356.
Paul Jarman and Bill Krauss,
crack duo from Chevy Chase, moved
on top in Glass a doubles but their
7o8 isn't likely to stand up very long.
Paul Weimer and Lee Jenkins of
the Navy Yard League shot to third
place in class C doubles with 7O9.
Jenkins rolled 156-387. The Col
lege Park due of w. Steinbach and
E. Dove moved among the class C
leaders with 689. Rodney Bell with
354 mostly was responsible, as he
and his partner, Tom Flynn, took
third place in class D doubles with
$50. Ed Radtke and Henry Girton
OF the Heurich League gained fourth
place in class D doubles with 656.
Easy Marks in Front.
H. Kiesel made up for a lot of
wood missed by his teammates when
he banged out 1898 as the Easy
Marks took over first place in class
c With 1,733. A 1872 set gave the
Faazers of the Dynamite League
the top spot in the class E.
Paced by Billy Marvel's BAT and
w. Smiths 351, the Panthers, a
boys team from Silver Spring, made
a snappy showing to assume the
runnerup position in class D with
1851.
New singles leaders in the various
classes are: A-Harry Hilliard,
Hyattsville, 1898; D-Cleo Stack,
Prince Georges County League, 337;
E-W. S. Clegg, Procurement League,
1856. Harold F. Gallagher of the
Chevy Chase Saturday Night League
is third in class G with 358.
The tournament will recess until
midnight tonight when four teams
from the Motion Picture Leaghe
take over the Arcadia drives.

Little Children

Little children, come unto me
Said the Lord long ago,
For He knew they could be made
to see
1t was useless, wild oats to SOW.
Parents, children at an early age
Should be taught the divine pre-
cepts,
For, if neglected, the old adage
Says they'll be caught in the
devils nets.
Jesus knew children were suscep-
tible
To receive the divine commands,
For their little minds are adapt
able
To all divine Loves plans.
Children are so meek-like,
Just like little lambs;
You can, at the proper time, strike
Religious thoughts their mind
understands.
Jesus gave all His love and COM
passion 49,.
For child's innocent thought;
For like young trees that need at
tention,
They can be saved when early
sought.
Children who have accepted God
Should feel mighty proud;
For they soon realize His sustain
ing rod
Gives moral strength to say
mo" out loud.
Happy will your life be,
And your reward truly great;
For you listened to an early plea
To accept Him before it was too
late.

Soldiers! From the shores of Mo-
bile l collected you to arms; l in

to divide the glory of your white
countrymen. expected much from
you; for l was not uniformed of
those qualities which must render
you so formidable to an invading
foe. I knew that you could endure
hunger and thirst, and all the
hardships of war. l knew that you
loved the land of your nativity,
and that, like ourselves, you had to
defend all that is most dear to
man. But you surpass my hopes.
l have found in you, united to
these qualities, that noble enthusi-
asm which impels to great deeds.
Soldiers! The President of the
United States shall be informed of
your conduct on the present occa-
sion; and the voice of the Repre-
sentatives of the American nation
shall applaud your valor, as your
General now praises your ardor.
The enemy is near. His sails cover
the lakes. But the brave are unit

among ourselves, it will be for the
prize of valor, and fame it's no.

PETER SALEM THE BLACK
HERO OF BUNKER HILL
At the Battle of Bunker Hill,
June IT, ITS, Negro soldiers stood
side by side and fought with their
white brethren. A letter written
several years ago by Aaron White
may give more light on the sub
ject:
with regard to the black hero
of Bunker Hill (Peter Salem), l
never knew him personally, nor did
l ever hear from his lips the story
of his achievements; but l have a
better authority. About the year
1907, l heard a soldier of the Revo-
luton, who was present at the
Bunker Hill battle, relate to my
father the story of the death of
Major Pitcairn. He said the Major
had passed the storm of our fire
without, and had mounted the re-
doubt, when, waving his sword, he
commanded, in a loud voice, the
rebels to surrender. His sudden
appearance and his commanding
air at first startled the men imme-
diately before him. They neither
answered nor fired; probably not
being exactly certain what was
next to be done. At this critical
moment a Negro soldier stepped
forward and, aiming his musket
directly at the Majors bosom, blew
him through. My informant de-
clared that he was so near that he
distinctly saw the act. The story
made quite an impression on my
mind. l have frequently heard my
father relate the story, and have
no doubt of it's truth. My father,
on the day of the battle, was a
mere child, and witnessed the
battle and the burning of Charles
town from Roxbury Hill, sitting on
the shoulders of the Rev. Mr.. Jack
son, who said to him as he replaced
him on the ground, Now, boy, do
you remember this Consequently,
after such an injunction, he would
necessarily pay attention to anec-
dotes concerning the first and only

CALCIUM
The Great Human
Need

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest or
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more of
dairy products is the regular every
day diet of all of us.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as beverage or in cooked
food.

Poetic Thoughts

The Nome nugget., 1940-03-22

With the Finnish theater of war now quiet, mopping up and readjuStment in that area may be expected to be followed by many reports of drastic treatment of the subjugated zone, but Russia will face an indignant world if she attempts such ruthless prac- tices as attended the raping and ruthless dismemberment of Po- land.
 With the Finnish front now quiet, the European war marks time, with little action on the Western front but spring coming on and huge armies concentrat- ed there and in the Near East, the question now is What Next. , Europe sits on string of volcan oes, and unless a miracle occurs in the diplomatic world most any thing may happen.

WHY DO JAPANESE HALT?

Recent news dispatches indie ate that military observers be- lieve that the Japanese invasion of China has become so extend ed that it taxes the power of the Japanese army to maintain posi- tions now held, precluding any serious under taking to conquer the balance of China.
 This implies that the effort of Japan has exhausted the resourc es of the nation and that China, if she continues the struggle, will eventually oust the invaders. Of course, the Japanese, by retrench ment, can take advantage of time to rebuild the reserves that have been depleted and it is possible that the empire will remain strong enough to withstand any effort of the Chinese to reclaim the captured territory.
 The viewpoint of the military men may not be entirely correct. It is possible that the Japanese, foreseeing new difficulties ahead, such as complications with the United States realize that halt must be made, temporarily at least in China while the empire waits for developments. The Chinese venture must be stabil- zied in order that the full energy of the nation may be directed to- ward new perils.
