Temple Bowler After
Pair Of Records in
10O-Game Test
By BEN McALWEE.

An attempt to set two 100-game
endurance records was to be made
by Bill Hubbard this afternoon at
Northeast Temple. The big raw
boned bowler who this season has
won three handicap tournaments
was to start his herculean task at
2 o'clock.
If he is to crack the time limit
mark of hours and minues es-
tablished by John Blick more than
a decade ago at the Arcadia, Hub
bard should end his terrific pace
around 8 o'clock. He hopes to bet
ter the 12,446 mark posted by Cor
don McIlwee at Winchester, Va.
several years ago.
It is understood that Stanley En-
ten, another Northeast roller. will
attempt next Saturday to break
whatever marks Hubbard estab-
fishes.

Lucky Strike, this morning was host
to more than $50 playground boys
who competed in the 1lth annual

What Weather Is Best?

While wiping the perspiration from our
brow during the hot spell, we began Won
dering if there was any such thing as ideal
weather. If weather could be controlled
If we could, through some remarkable
discovery, standardize the time and amount
of rainfall as we'll as the temperature
what would be the ideal?
If vote were taken, we imagine the
answers would be just about as varied as
the weather is at present.
In the first place, most of us would not
want one standard of weather. We would
want some hot weather to make crops grow
and for the enjoyment of swimming, we
would regret the elimination of the cold
and snowy weather which is a welcome
change after hot summer, we would
want rain to fall on the days which were
most convenient to us personally rather
than according to national pattern, and
we would insist that the welfare of animals,
birds and our natural resources be con-
sidered in any weather program.
