With the ASEYS, Masons, 0dd Fello Ahepas, Elks and men *of other fraternal organizations soon may be friendly rivals on the Washington bowling @rives. At the invitation of Manager Bill Wood of the King Pin establish- ment, representatives of various or- ders will meet tonight to organize the Fraternal Duckpin League and the new loop may be in operation within & week. The meeting will be held at the King Pin alleys at 8 o'clock.

R Andrew Stanford Pape By winning two games from W ington Printing Company while Washington Monotype was losing two to Packwood Printing, Judd & Detweiler increased its lead to three full games last week in the T pothetae League. With but seven s;|s l?“t‘o r‘ull, this should be lead enough to give the bi; int sh boys the pennant. S o Ransdell, Incorporated, was the only club to make a clean sweep. Thayer Printeraft was its vietim. Columbian Printing defeated Potter in two of three, Standard Engraving trimmed National Publishing Com- pany in two games, Stanford Paper Company tripped H-K Advertising twice, while National Capital Press took the odd game from Andrews. Clements of Packwood Printing Company rolled the best individual game that has been bowled for some time, his score of 155 being second high for the season. Judd & Detweiler's game of 582 ning one game from the cellar team, Municipal Architect, in the District Government League last week. Sewer Department also took high set away from Chief Clerk with 1,602 for three games. ‘There were no big games, but Falk, Sagrario, Patrick, Mitchell and Steel rolled very steady, with sets of 284, 3815, 327, 340 and 336. The team games were 502, 541 and 559. Chief Clerk made a sweep of its set with Repair Shop without any trouble and Traffic Bureau, using a dummy, lost all three to Assessor. WASHINGTON LADIES’ LEAGUE. After being practically snowed under in the first clash with the Beeques, the Commercials rallied gamely in the second and gave the leaders a great battle, finally being forced to acknowledge defeat by the narrow margin of 1 pin only in the ‘Washington Ladies’ . League last week. This form reversal seemed to imbue the Commercials with confi- dence, and they carried right on into the final encounter, which they an- nexed by 3 pins after a hectic struggle. Marjorie Bradt, Commercial anchor, made a game effort to retrieve that second tilt when she spared in the last frame, but the best she could do was a 6-pin count on her mark when 8 would have sewed up the game. The Beeques gave a neat exhibition of pinning in the first clash, when they rolled up a count of 530. The individual counts were: Quaites, 91; Greevy, 114; Thomas, 110; Quigley, 115, and Gulli, 100. Bertha Greevy turned in the best three-game total with 315, Catherine Quigley shot 310, and Pauline Thomas garnered 306. Lottie Rhodes registered hirh set for the Commercials, getting 293, with 105 as her best single count. Columbians grabbed two from the Kumbacks, losing the second by 1 pin when Billie Williams, Kumback anchor, made a sensational third shot in the last frame, getting 10 out of what was apparently an impossible break. Florence Rembold of the Colum- bians was the only player to get over the 300 mark for the string. She registered 302, with 107 as her best single effort. Climbers swept the set with and set of 1,574 were the best team totals of the week. g EAST WASHINGTON CHURCH LEAGUE. Team Standing. W. Centennial Py Ineram Ninth Ninth Doulas Waugh .

Iron Man Cordell, Centennial anchor and the holder of two league records, estab- lished a third by rolling 153 in his second game of the set, a new high individual game. The Ingram team took three and is only one game behind the leader. Waugh moved up a place in the standing by taking the set from Dougla No. 1.

Senator Hawes of Missouri intro- duced the bill prohibiting the sale of bass and Senator Capper of Kan- sas the bill for a longer closed season. In the House, Representative J. J. Manlove of Missouri, an ardent angler and conservationist, agreed to spon- sor the bill and do everything in his power to have it passed. The bill was referred to the House District committee, which reported it out favorably.” It is now on the House | calendar. There are only about 17 working days left in the present ses- sion of Congress. Of course, there is plenty of time left for the House Daughters of Isabella, though the to dispose of this bill, but what the THREE TEAMS IN A. C.

THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D First Game Wild Stampede Of Men BASKET BALL 1891 - 30toa Side Ball Tossed Into Court BY SOL METZGER. James Naismith invented ball at the Springfield Col- lege in 1801, but those who first yed it would never recognize the original article in the game of . The first thing they would would be the lack of a floor filled_with a mob of players, for the first game called for 30 to a side. Today five aro on a side. What a whirlpool of humanity the first game must have been with v players milling around the floor. To start the game, the two teams were lined up at opposite ends of the court and the referee tossed the ball into the center from the sidelines, the two sides rushing for i, Cane rushes and class fights, now long since legislated against in most educational institutions, must have taken a back seat when bas- ket ball first came into beins. How different today with the jump ball at center to start pla nd the scientific placing of play- ers in order to get maximum re- sults on attack and defense once the ball is tipped! FRENCH CUE STARS DUE TO PLAY HERE By tho Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 14.—The entry list for the 18.2 billiard championship tournament, to be played at Washin; ton March i-12, has been extended for another week, to permit two European stars now en route to get in thefr applications. The original closing date was ves- terday, but cable reports of the sailing of Felix Grange, French champion, and Edouard Horemans, Belgian cham. ion, caused officials of the National silliard Association to delay the clo: ing. The Europeans have until Fe ruary 26, to get their entries filed. These two, with five American en- trants to be selected, will constitute the field for the $5,000 purse, the world's champlonship and diamond trophy. HOPPE AND SCHAEFER IN SIDE-BET MATCH| 14 P).— Dr. basket NEW_ YORK, February Willle Hoppe, who successfully de- fended his 18.2 balkline billiard championship against Welker Cochran in Boston last week, rested today for his special 3,000 point 18.1 match with Jake Schaefer, which opens here to- morrow. Although Schaefer defeated Hoppe for the 18.1 title last year, both play- ers have agreed that the 18.1 crown shall not be at stake. The sponsors of the match con- tended that Hoppe had forfeited his title by failure to defend it for ten vears prior to meeting Schaefer. The men had signed for a championship match, but changed the articles and substituted a $1,000 side bet. The match will be played in 10 blocks of 300 points_each. Hoppe brought his title defense against Cochran to a close Saturday mg;ualwitn a decisive margin of 1,500 to 1,315. STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: anglers of Washington desire is to see it passed and out of the way. There is a little nervousness felt as each day passes, and rightly so, because it is something that local fishermen have been advocating and working for for years. Representative Zihlman, chairman of the House District committee, and Representative Manlove both are out of town over the week end, and both are expected back tomorrow. As Representative Manlove ex- plained in presenting the bill in the House, it is a step in a general move- ment that Is progressing throughout the entire land. In New York State it is understood that there is a law preventing the sale of any game fish, and other States are slowly taking up the question of preserving their game fish. The anglers of Washing- ton want the Nation’s Capital to be among the first cities in the country to have a bass law prohibiting their sale. The fight of the District anglers to before Congress tionally known Edward C. Kemper, who has been fighting for years for just such legislation as is now about to materialize, and who is also chairman of the bass protection c the local chapter of the I League of America, has personally ten letters to many Maryland and Virginia sportsmen, inciuding the con- servation departments, the league chapters and various other organiz: tions, to bring all the pressure possi- ble to have the Maryland Legislature pass a bill prohibibting the sale of these fish. Virginia has such a law, and Maryland should adopt one Gov. Ritchle is known to favor such a law, and the Maryland Conservation Com: mission 1s said to bo in favor of it. Balmy days last week brought vivid- ly to mind the time when the anglers can get out their fishing tackle and go out on the Poto for the first run of Spring visitors. Thelr next thought was of the Tidal Basin, where many hundreds of large-mouth s have been planted during the Winter month ‘When the time arrives for bass fishing in the District those in charge of the Tidal to have everything in r cluding nice new rowboats, a live box for bait for the convenience of fisher- men, and last but by no means least, more bass. Plans 2re now under way to have additional bass planted in the basin before their spawning season, and after they have finished laying their spawn they will provide excel- lent sport for local anglers. This column would like to hear from those interested in the Tidal Basin project as to whether or not a fee system for the privilege of fishing there would be a good thing. TI\Nl column is greatly in tavor of such a step. As a matter of fact, it thinks it ix the oniy way to handle the! proposition and provide a means of planting additional bass. Address vour communications to this column, or those in favor of the system might do well to send their letters direct to Col. U. 8. Grant, officer in charge of Public Buildings ‘and Grounds.

(Continued from Yesterday's Star.) “‘Parker!” said my sister. “Fiddle- sticks! T inspector must be a perfect fool. Parker, indeed. Don't tell me.” With which obseure pronouncement we went up to bed. CHAPTER VIIL I Learn My Neighbor’s Profession. On the following morning I hurried unforgtvably over my round. My excuse can be that I had no very serious cases to attend. On my return Caroline came into the hall to greet me. “Flora Ackrovd is here,” nounced in an excited whisper. “What?" I concealed my surprise as best I could. “She's very anxlous to see you. She’s been here half an hour.” Caroline led the way fnto our small sitting room, and T followed. Flora was sitting on the sofa by the window. She was in black and she sat nervously twisting her hands together. 1 was shocked by the sight of her face. All the color had faded away from it. But when she spoke Ler manner was as composed and resolute as possible, “Dr. Sheppard, 1 have come to ask ou to help me?” Ot course he'll help you, my dear,” claimed Caroline. I don't think Flora really wished Caroline to be present at the inter- view. She would, I am sure, have irfinitely preferred to speak to me privately. But she also wanted to T time, so‘she made the best of it. she an- “I want you to come to the Larches with me." “The Larches?” prised. “To see that funny little man?” ex- claimed Caroline o You know who he is, don't yo “We fancled,” Y said, “that he might be a retired hairdresser.” Flora’s blue eyes opened very wide. “Why, he's Hercule Poirot! You know who I mean—the private de- tective. They say he’s done the most wonderful things—just like detectives do in books. A year ago he retired and came to live down here. Uncle knew who he was, but he promised not to tell any one, because M. Poirot wanted to live quietly without being bothered by people.” “‘So that’s who he is,” T said slowly. “You've heard of him, of course?” ‘m rather an old fogey, as Caro- line tells me,” T sald, “but I have Just_heard of him.” i “‘Extraordinary!” commented Caro- ne. I don’t know what she was re- ferring to—possibly her own faflure to discover the truth. “You want to go and see him?” I asked slowly. “Now why?” “To _get him to investigate this mur- der, of course,” said Caroline sharply. “Don’t be stupid, James.” 1 was not really being stupld. Caro- line does not always understand what I am driving at. “You haven’t got confidence in In- spector Davis?” I went on. 'Of course she hasn’t,” sald Caro- line. “I haven't elther. Any one would have thought it was Caroline’s uncle who had been murdered. “And how do you know he would take up the case?”’ I asked. “Re- member, he has retired from active work."” ““That’s just it,” sald Flora, simply. “I've got to persuade him.” “You are sure you are doing wise- 137" I asked gravely. 'Of course she is,” said Caroline. “I'll go with her myself if she likes.” “I'd rather the doctor came with me. if you don’t mind, Miss Shep- pard,” said Flora. She knows the value of being direct on certain occasions. Any hints would lcerta.lnly have been wasted on Caro- ine. “You see,” she explained, follow- ing directness with tact, “Dr. Shep- pard being the doctor. and having found the body, he would be able to give all the details to M. Poirot.” “Yes,” sald Caroline, grudgingly; “I_see that.” I took a turn or two up and down the room. “Flora,” 1 sald, gravely, “be guided by me. T advise you not to drag this detective into the case.” Flora sprang to her feet. The color rushed into her cheeks. “I know why you say that,” she cried. “But it's exactly for that rea- son I'm so axious to go. You're afraid! But I'm not. I know Ralph better than you do.” Ralph,” said Caroline. “What has Ralph got to do with it?" Neither of us heeded her. Ralph may be weak,” continued Flora *“He may have done foolish things in the past—wicked things I querfed, sur- 0, no,” I exclaimed. “I never thought it of him.” “Then why did you go to the Three Boars last night?” demanded Flora, “on your way home—after uncle's bedy was found?” 1 was momentarily eflenced. heped that that visit of mine would remain unnoticed. “How did you know about that?” I countered. “I went there this morning,” said Flora. “I heard from the servants that Ralph was staying there——' T interrupted her. You had no idea King's Abbot?” D 1 was astounded. I couldn't understand it. I went there and asked for him. They told me, what 1 suppose ‘they told you last night, that he went out at about 9 o’clock yesterdny evening~and—and never came back.” Her eyes met mine deflantly, and as though answering something in my look, she burst out: “Wwell, why shouldn’t he? He might have gone—anywhere. He may even have gone back to London.” “Leaving his luggage behind?” I asked gently. Flora stamped her foot. “I don't care. There must be a wimple explanation.” “And that's why you want to go to Hercule Pofret? Isn't it better to leave things as they are? The police don't suspect Ralph in the least, re- member. They're working on quite another tack.” “But that's just 1t.” cried the girl. “They do suspect him. A man from Cranchester turned up this morning— Inspector Raglan, a hoirld, weaselly little man. I found he had been to the Three Boars this morning before me. They told me all about his having been there, and the questions he had asked. He must think Ralph di4 it “That's a nge of mind from last night, if so,” T sald slowly. ‘“He doesn’t_befeve in Davis' theory that it was Parker, then? “Parker, indeed,” and snorted. lora. came forward and lald her hand on m arm. “Oh! Dr. Sheppard, let us go at once to this M. Poirot. He will find out the truth.” “My dear Flo I said gently, laying my hand on hers. “‘Are you quite sure it is the truth we want?” She looked at me, nodding her head gravely. “You're not sure,” she sald. “I am. I know Ralph better than you do.” “Of course he didn't do it," sal Caroline, who hud been keeping silent with great difficulty. “Ralph may be that he was in sald my sister, T had'| extri®agant, but he's a dear boy, and has Mg nicest manners.” I wanted to tell Caroline that large laumbers of murderers have had nice Yanners, but the presence of Flora restrained me. Since the girl was determined, I was forced to give in to her and we started at once, getting away before my sister was able to fire off any more pronouncements begin- ning with her favorite words, “Of course.” An old woman with an fmmense Breton cap opened the door of The Larches to us. M. Poirot was at home, it seemed. We were ushered into a little sit- ting-room arranged with formal pre- cision, and there, after the fapse of a minute or so, my friend of yesterday came to us. Monsieur le docteur,” he said, smiling. *“Mademoiselle.” He bowed to Flora. “Perhaps,” I began, “you have heard of the tragedy which occurred last night." His face grew grave. “But certainly T have heard. It is horrible. 1 offer mademoiselle all my sympathy. In what way can 1 serve you?” Miss Ackroyd,” I said, “wants you to-—to—"" To find the murderer,” said Flora in a clear voice. “I see,” said the little man. “But the police will do that, will they not?" “They might make a mistake,” sald Flora. “They are on their wav to a mistake now, I think. Please, M. Polrot, won't you help us? If—if it is a question of mone; % Poirot held up his hand. “Not that, I beg of you, mademoi- selle. Not that I do not care for money.” His s showed a momen- tary twinkle. ‘“Money, it means much to me and always has done. No, if I go into this, you must understand one thing clearly. I shall go through with it to the end. The good dog, he does not leave the scent, remember! You may wish that, after all, you had left it to the local police, “I want the truth,” sald Flora, looking him straight in the eyes. “All the truth?” ““All the truth. “Then I accept,” sald 'the Httle man quietly. “And I hope will not regret those words. Now, tell me all the circumstances.” “Dr. Sheppard had better tell vou,” said Flora. “He knows more than I do.” Thus enjoined, I plunged into a careful narrative, embodying all the facts I have previously set down. Polrot listened carefully, inserting a question here and there, but for the most part sitting in silence, his eyes on the ceiling. I brought my story to a close with the departure of the inspector and my- MONDAY. FEBRUARY 14 CIRCULARS PROHIBITED.

Wanted—Outside furniture re- self from Fernly Park the previous night. '‘And now,"” sald Flora, as I finished, ell him all about Ralph.” I hesitated, but her imperious glance drove me on. S You went to this inn-—this Three Boa last night on your way home?” asked Polrot, as I brought my tale to a close. “Now exactly why was that?" I paused a moment to choose my words carefully. “I thought some one ought to in- form the young man of his uncle's death. It occurred to me after I had left Fernly that possibly no one but myself and Mr. Ackroyd were aware that he was staying in the village. Polrot nodded. “Quite so. That was your only motive in going there, eh?"” “That was my only motive,” I said stiffly “It was not to—shall we say— reassure yourself about ce jsune homme?" “Reassure myself?"” “I think, M. le docteur, that you know very well what I mean, though you pretend not to do so. I suggest that it would have been a rellef to you if you had found that Capt. Paton had been at home all the evening.” “Not at all,” I sald sharply The little detective shook his head pair man; one familiar with all branches of the trade in making adjustments of complaints; must have own tools and auto.

LEWIS Pennsyivania at me gravely. “You have not the trust in me of Miss Flora,” he said. “But no matter. ‘What we have to look at is this— Capt. Paton is missing under circum- stances which call for an explanation. I will not hide from you that the mat ter looks grave. Still, it may admit of a perfectly simple explanation.' ‘That's just what I keep saying,” cried Flora eagerly. Poirot touched no more upon that theme. Instead he suggested an im- mediate visit to the local police. He thought it better for Flora to return home, and for me to be the one to accompany him there and _introduce him to the officer in charge of the case. We carried out this plan forth- with. We found Inspector Davis outside the police station looking very glum indeed. With him was Co'. Melrose, the chief constable, and |another man whom, from Flora's de- ser' fon of “weasell. I had no dif- fleuity in recog:izing as Inspector Raglan from Cranchester. I know Melrose fairly well, and I in- troduced Poirot to him and explained the situation. The chief constable was clearly vexed, and Inspector Raglan looked as black as thunder. Davis, however, seemed slightly exhilarated by the sight of his superior officer's annoyance. ““The case is going to be plain as a pikestaff,” said Raglan. “Not the least need for amateurs to come but- ting in. You'd think any fool would have seen the way things were last night, and then we shouldn’t have lost 12 hours. He directed a vengeful glance at poor Davis, who received it with per- fect stolidity. Mr. Ackroyd's family must, of course, do what they see fit,” said Col. Melrose. “But we cannot have' the official investigation hampered in any way. I know M. Poirot’s great repu- tation, of course,” he added cour- teously. “The pollce can't advertise them- selves, worse luck,” sald Raglan. It was Polrot who saved the situa- tion. “'It is true that T have retired from the world," he sald. “I never intend- ed to take up a case again. Above all things, I have a horror of publicity. T must beg, that in the case of my be- ing able to contribute something to the solution of the mystery, my name © Raglan's face lightened a 've heard of some very remark- able successes of yours,” observed the colonel, thawing. “I have had much experience,” said Polrot, quietly. *But most of my suc- cesses have been obtalned by the aid of the police. I admire enormously your English police. If Inspector Rag- lan permits me to assist him, I shall be both honored and flattered.” ‘The inspector's countenance became still more gracious. Col. Melrose drew me aside. “From all I hear, this little fellow’s done some really remarkable things, he murmured. We're naturally anx. fous not to have to call in Scotland Yard. Raglan seems very sure of him- { self, but I'm not quite certain that I{} agree with him. You see, I-—er-—-know the parties concerned better than he does. This fellow doesn’t seem out after kudos, does he? Would work in with us unobtrusively, eh” To the greater glory of Inspector Raglan,” I sald, solemnly “Well, well, said Col. breezily, in a louder voice, put you wise to the latest develop- ments, M. Poirot.” ntinued in Tomorrow Melrose, G0y, “Enrofl today. ~ BOYD® SCHOOL. 1338 G n.w. Main 2338. > RE A MARCEL DA mat I h o] Doanty chiire- sehoo dny ‘a0 evening - classes. THE.
