SnoC 366. III clipped almost a
full point from his season
average, but left him with an
impressive 135-15 for As
strings. He established the
record of seven consecutive
400s last season in the same
league.
Miss Jones, who hit her
season low of 338 the week
previous, stumbled back with
322, also to drop a point, to
1920. At the same time Mrs.
Kenney tossed a 375 that left
her at 1920, for a nine-stick
advantage. Crowding both is
GIMME Siegel. 10 pins ofAthe

1t was a sad evening other
wise for Miss Jones and a
bright one for Mrs. Kenney.
Miss Jones and Ralph Gaddi,
who lost two games to Mary
Darlington and Titus, were
supplanted in first place by
Mrs. Kenney and Frank Brad
sher, who won two from Madge
Keir and Bobby Mayhem, sub
bing for Pat Crescent.
Outshining all, both men
and women, was 17-year-old

Another sufferer of note
was Ed Pugh, who the week

which shrank his average to
l30-30, while Dietsch rolled
39l for 1922.
Gaining on both was third

Three Mares
AtL|ango||en

UPPERVILLE. Va, Dec. 18
(SpeciaD Famous Llangollen
Farm, owned by Mrs. Joseph
Cloyce Tippett, the former Liz
Whitney, lost three valuable
brood mares early yesterday in
a four-alarm fire which de-
stroyed a frame and stucco polo
barn on the estate near here.
Six other horses were led to
safety from the blazing struc-
ture by employees, and 80 other
brood mares and four stations
in the main barn 200 yards
away also were evacuated.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tippett esti-
mate the loss at up to a quarter
Of a million dollars. All three
mares were in foal-one to
Correspondent, sire of Sher-
luck. which won the 1861 Bel
mont Stakes, and the other two
to Endeavour II, the South
American stallion.
/ The fire in the 12-stall L.
shaped stable was discovered
by an employe about 4:30 am.
Cause Of the fire has not been
determined. but it is believed
that wires broken by the week.
end ice storm might have
caused a short circuit and
started the blaze.
DR.. Walter J. Williams, Up
perville fire chief, said his
department received the fire
report at SAB am. The icy
roads did not impede his equip
ment. he said, but might have
delayed arrival of firemen from
Middleburg, Marshall and
Philomont, who also answered
the call.
Llangollen Farm is 3 miles
