2.Week Affair
Split Between
7 Pin Sites
0ver-Your-Averose
Meet Will Run
from April 6-18

Final plans for the second
annual Mount Clemens and Ma
comb Recreation alleys bowling
tournament were announced
this morning by Arnold Rocken-
suess, tournament manager.
The tournament is divided in
to two brackets, to be held at
two sites during two different
weeks. Five-man events will
start at the Macomb Recreation
April 6 and continue for q week
while the Mount Clemens Rec
reation drives will play host
to the minor events, starting on
April Is and continuing through
April 10. Deadline on entries
for all events is at midnight on
Sunday, March %.
IS A TEAM
Entry fee for the five-man
event is SIS team; for the
doubles, So team and for the
singles, 81. Bowling fees will
total $1.10 for each man for
each event. Rockensuess and
the proprietors of the two alleys
B. J. McInerney and Herman
Timpf at the Mount Clemens
Recreation and Harry Mcintosh
at the Macomb Recreation-are
stressing the all-events program.
WED like to see every man out
after the all-event prizes, if
possible. We're pushing the pro-
gram over the entire county
and if the war doesn't interfere
too much, we should have a good
sized entry list" was the way
Rockensuess put it.
Entry fees must accompany
the entries but bowling fees may
be paid later. The tourney is
an over-your-average affair,
but special prizes will be award
ed for actual pinfall in the
five-man, doubles and singles
events. The All-Events COM
petition will be on an actual
pinfall basis. Averages for the
tourney will be taken as of the
week ending March 81; where
bowler has two averages, the
highest will be taken. Twenty
four games are needed to es-
tablish an average and where
bowler has not taken part in
that many games, he will be
penalized five per cent of his
known average. Unattached
bowlers are assigned an average
of 100.
Medals will be awarded the
winning bowlers in the team,
doubles and singles events.
Entry blanks for the A. B. c.
sanctioned tourney are avail
able at both the Mount Clemens
and Macomb alleys.

followed their usual routing last
night, as the three leaders con-
tinued their winning ways while
the cellar teams percentages
dropped even lower.
The Business Men, walloping
the M. c. A. c. team by a 34-9
count, cinched playoff position,
the third team to do so, leaving
only one place open with two
rounds remaining to be played.

Super Cleaners taking the
Brown Bombers, 31-16 Paganetti
Lumber trouncing the Mer-
chants, 1913, and Gray's reveng-
ing a previous loss to the Tigers
by an overwhelming 42-12 score.
The race for the fourth playoff
position is between three teams
the Merchants, Gray's and the
Brown Bombers. Gray's gained
a notch by their victory last
night and now stand only a
game behind the Merchants; the
Brown Bombers, losing, handi-
capped themselves and must win
their next two games to have a
chance at tying for the playoff
slot.
A pair of wins for the Mer-
chants will cinch their spot but
a single loss while the Gray's
Hamburger quintet is winning its
two remaining game would Dust
them.
Last nights first game saw the
Business Men overriding the M.
c. A. c. outfit, 34-9, after giving
a 40 lead to their opponents in
the opening minutes. Walter
Bobcean paced the winners with
10 points; Smiths three points
was high for the losers.
In the second tilt at the Mount
Clemens High gym, the Super
Cleaners marched over the
Brown Bombers-who had only
one regular member of their
team present in the first half
by a 31-16 margin. Willie May
paced the victors with 10 points
while Jimmy Jones topped the
losers with eight.
GIVE LITTLE TROUBLE
Despite the presence of Bob
Plegue, the Merchants gave the
loop-leading Timberjacks little
trouble, losing out, 1918. The
Merchants were able to score
only three points during the
first half; Steeh's six points led
the losers while Dottie MacDon-
aid collected IL for the winners.
Paced by Hale Shanklin, who
poured in 81 points during the
last half, Gray's Hamburger Bar
gained revenge for its 1914 first
round loss to the Tigers last
night by a 42-12 score. Shank
Inns total was high for the night
while McDonald's five points
topped the Bengals.

MEXICO CITY, March 21.-One
of the first things an American tour
ist meets in Mexico is the language
of the gesture. Sometimes it eX-
plains itself, sometimes 1t has to
be translated, but in any case 1t
is as much a colorful part OF
Mexican life as handicrafts and
Spanish palaces, guitars and char
ros, wild orchids and snow-capped
volcanoes.
Offer q Mexican a cigarette. for
example, and he may respond with
a smile, a half bow. and the hand
held up like stop sign. Does that
mean yes or no? You repeat the
offer. The smile deepens, the bow
is more pronounced. the appraised
hand is f1rmer. A third time, and
you have your spoken answer which
makes everything clear: mo, thank
you very much"
Or, say, half a block down the
street you hear a Mexican friend
calling your name. You look up
and he is apparently motioning for
you to 60 away. The Mexican ges-
ture for "come here" is exactly the
opposite of its American equivalent
A Mexican is describing to you
something superlatively gay or beau
tiful Words fail him. He puts a
hand to his chin and makes a mo-
ton downward as if stroking a long
pointed beard. He may follow it
with the word "piocha." He looks
satisfied as you look puzzled. To
him, the ultimate has been said
The motion and word come from
the old Colonial days when q mans
beard was his glory, and a certain
long pointed variety, "piocha," was
the glory of glories.

order. You want 1t carried out I'M

She answers you with thumb and
first finger outstretched as if ABOUT

"ahorita," which is to say, I'm just
a moment" Ask chauffeur when
the bus or car will leave for your
particular destination. or train
man when the long-awaited train
is due, and you get the same ges-
ture. It is the most national omni-

A waggle of the index finger is

anything-"I don't agree" Hold on

come" or II can't do that" It is
more emphatic than shaking the
head.
Or you are at the local tennis
courts, and perhaps your Mexican
partner tells you he must leave. He
explains why by punching his fin
gers to a point closed by the thumb
and makes jerky motions toward his
mouth. He may supplement this
by saying "ucha ucha," or "pipirin,

he is telling you it IS time for lunch
