BACK BOND DRIVE

The Fourth War Bond booths,
situated through out down town
Wilmington, have had continuous
stream of patrons as the campaign
enters its third day. The last total
sales figures issued were $500, 375.
Wilmingtonians paid $192, $50 for
bonds to gain free admittance to
the Bailey theater premier showing
of Destination Tokyo, the realis-
tic-like fictional story of U-boat
which featured in last years raid
on Tokyo by General Doolittle's
fliers from the aircraft carrier
Hornet.
The picture inspired greatly the
war bond enthusiasm for Whining
tonians pledged at the auction sale
to invest S107,9 in war savings
bonds.
Master of ceremonies of the auc-
ton. Friedrich Willetts, auctioned
bonds to the highest bidders and
bonds of small denominations in
connection with the grab bags. The
award of bond prizes to holders OF
lucky numbers was featured at in
tervals during the auction.
Mr.. Willetts stated that the auc-
ton was the largest ever held in
this section. He expressed his
thanks to the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION: to the Bailey theater;
to the Wacs for their assistance;
to the band for the splendid muse;
wonderful display in which the citi-
zens were SO intensely interested;
to the public which responded so
generously in the purchase of tick
cts and bonds; and to all others
who assisted in the execution of
the bond auction.

BY HAROLD KAHL

CHICAGO. May % - Walter
J Reppenhagen and Bill Kenet of
the Stroh team made the best
Detroit showing since the incep-
ton of the event when they fin
ished second to Bill F'lesch and
Buddy Bomar of Chicago in the
National Doubles Bowling Cham
-pionship tournament that ended
here last night.
With a total of 16 points on
1921 pins. Flesch and Bomar sue
ceeded Ned Day of West Allis,
Wis, and Rudy Pugel of Mil

lifted the crown from Nelson
Burton and Frank Mataya of st.
Louis. These two combinations
trailed in the field in this tour
nament.
Reppenhagen and Kenet out
rolled the new champions with a
total OF 1864 pins for the 18-game
final round of 10 points, one
ahead of Joe Sinke and Paul
krumske OF Chicago, who led the
entire field of six combinations in
total pins with 1881.
GO INTO TIE
Going into the position round
of three games. Repp and Kenet
were tied with Sinke and
krumske and Mataya and Burton
at 10 points. But Repp and Kenet
took care OF Mataya and Burton
by winning three out of four
points in sheeting 1915 to the
st. Louis pairs 1927 as Sinke
and Krumske split points with
Bomar and Flesch.
Individually kenet was the star
OF the finals. He averaged 2l2.3
for the final Is games in which a
point was awarded for every game
won and another for total pins.
He tossed in series OF GIL. 613, go,
13l. 57l and 623 for a 1919 total.

Mr.. Moran was great fellow for
