Sporting Thing
The Tenpins Are Being Smashed
by bf

The pins were Dustin all over this week in
Main Bowl.
The Nisei Commercial League opened Tues
day, and the City Merchants loop Thurday
Down the alleys whistled the Brunswicks
And down the score sheets went the strikes, the
spares. the splits the what-have-you and the
hidden woes of determined keglers.
The situation appears like this at the mo-
ment:
Shanty Inn, anchored by George Kimura,
"clutch" bowler is the team to watch in the SUI
perior Commercial league. Although it had the
misfortune of meeting Kashiwagis when they
were sizzling and fiery hot Shanty Inn still
rates number one on our books. Kimura was
the only Shanty Inn member who rolled accord
ing to expectations; he fired a scorching 558 ser
les for 1856 average.
Kashiwagis however, are no pushoyer, and
they are very much in the running for titular ho-
nors Their Hero Nishimoto Tommy Namba
and Manabu Bujino throw mean balls.
Two teams which also bear careful watch
ing are Puget Sound Vegetable Growers AS
ISOLATION and Oriental Cab The Sumner gang
boasts a stellar lineup in Willie Maebori, Ray
and EdsI<iyohara, Frank Natsuhara and Morrie
Yamaguchi. Chinn Lew, Yaplee, Pang and
Coon Of Oriental Cab aren't back-seat drivers
when they hit the alley road.
Tad's Cafe, which last season had the stead
lest team, is sure to make trundling life misera-
BILE for the other quintets Some names as lha-
shi, kuniyuki, Sumioka Sakura and Hirai loom
as dangerous championship seekers.
The other eating house-Paramount Cafe
has sturdy quintet. It's lead-off man is Pru-
ney Tsuj who has yet to get in shape for the
rough campaign ahead. Tsuji along with No
hi Takahashi of Shanty Inn, was representa-
tive of Main Bowl in the all-City Big 80 tourna-
ment last season. Paramount also has two fair
pin-busters in TAX Asaba and Jim Kuranishi
Sakahara Insurance has squad which is
difficult to figure out The insurance men are
Kenny Oyama, Rik Tanag Herb Furuta, Shig
Okada and Shoichi Suyama. Oyama Tanagi and
Suyama definitely ''belong" in the upper brack-
ct
Twelfth Ave. Service has an unpredictable
group which, if ignited could cause a lot of da-
mage to any opponent. The Koga brothers, Min
and TAX, plus Taiji Takayoshi, Jim Sanico and
Jim Inouye, are out to upset the dope cart.
The City Merchants loop is the weaker sis
ter in the mems bowling world It's anybody's
race and no favorte is in sight.

SAFEWAY TRANSIT
Council Agrees To IS.
Year Franchise To Bus
Company

The Safeway Transit company
today has the word of the city
council that it can operate buses
on the city streets on a 35-year
franchise.
The city council has the word
of representatives of the transit
company that it will not increase
fares if the city does not oppose
the elimination of transfers.
But the council at yesterdays
meeting did not make that agree
ment without some opposition. AS
in previous discussions, Council
man J. E. L. Wa6e voted in op-
position. Wade, in other meetings
had indicated ne would vote
against the franchise unless it was
shown to his satisfaction that the
council has full authority under
the law and that the length of the
franchise was of "more reason
able length"
The whole matter is subject to
the Public Utilities Commission.
Attorney Edgar L. Vow, repre-
senting the transit firm, said that
no increase in the present five
cent fare will be made-at least
and until given a full hearing be-
fore the council.
Mayor E. l.. White voted to
grant the franchise after explain

mission has the say in the mat

Continuance of the Associated
Charities was urged yesterday by
DR.. William Grove. chairman of
the group, and Edgar L.. Vow. at
torney, a member Of the board Of
the organization.
The two, emphasizing they APP
peared as individuals, came be-
fore the city council and asked
that body to give careful consld-
GRAFTON before anything drastic
is done"
Indications previously have been
made by the council that a pro-
posal to consolidate the Charities
with the Welfare Department, is
being considered by both the coun-
eli and the county commissioners.
Both speakers pointed out pro-
grams of caring for old-age pen
sioners who are not entitled to full
compensation, emergency cases of
destitute families and persons who
have been elected from their
dwellings, that have been carried
or by the Charities.
The two men 1etitioned that if
the council does change the As

Executive Secretary OF

Mrs. Ida B. Speiden, executive
secretary of the Wilmington Red
Cross, for % yeats. yesterday sub
mitted her resignation, to become
effective on December l next.
Thomas R. Orrell, chapter
chairman, yesterday issued a
statement saying:
Mrs. Speiden today placed be-
fore the executive committee her
resignation from the post in which
she has so capably served for so
many years.
1.-The committe at first insisted
that She remain with the chapter
and agreed to release her only
when she explained that she felt
the need of rest. 1t was with deep
est regret that the committee ac-
eded to her WISH" he said.
Mrs. Speiden has been execu-
tive secretary of this chapter
since January, 1919," Orrell said
and has served the chapter and
this community in a most efficient
and worthy way through two world
war periods. She has always taken
a keen interest in the work of the
Red Cross and rendered valuable
and self sacrificing service. Mrs.
Speiden will continue to take an
interest ii the work of the chapter.
Mrs. Edwards Succeeds
"As much as the chapter re-
grets the retirement of Mrs.
Speiden, it is very fortunate that
her successor has been chosen in
the person of Mrs. Almeda Stewart
Edwards, a native of Wilmington,
who has served the Red Cross
both in America and abroad
throughout World War II, and
whose husband, 1t. Commander
Edwards, lost his life in the sink
ing of the "Reuben James" IN

YELLOW FEVER - In years
gone by Wilmington has been the
scene of terrific yellow fever cpl
denies.
For some time it appeared thai
Wilmington was the ~homeplace Of
the dread disease.
Yellow fever was recorded in
the Port City several times before
Andrew J. Howell, in one of his
books, calls attention to it's hor-
rcrs.
In 1919, during the summer
months, the disease struck after
only a short vacation.
At the same time it was ravag-
ing other ports on the Atlantic.
Only when the first frost fell in
November did the number OF
deaths drop off.
Then in 1920 the 'jaundice," as
1t was then called, reappeared.
Again the citizens OF the city felt
the full impact of an epidemic.
HORRORS-But the real horrors
OF the disease were made known
tc their fullest extent during the
Civil War.
In July. 1852, a blockade runner
cooked here with a sick man
aboard.
From this carrier" several
