While no new records were made for total teams, local boosters of the bowling game are elated over the fine showing made by Indianapolis. Perce Henry now can catch up on a few hours lost sleep, during the coming week. This young man has been cn the "go" for the lastg two weeks convincing tne merchants of the city that it was their duty to enter booster clubs. The entry list proves he was successful. After using the major portion of the season to barely get a “700” club the bovs step out and produce three new members In one short week. Charlie Field, a veteran of many years, turned in the season's record for the Rotary Club, when he spilled 703, with games of 211, 225 and 267. "Red” Nolan, the owner ot a dynamite ball and plenty of nerve, also rolled 703, getting scores of 220, 267 and 216. The third "700” total was one pin short of these scores, A. Southard getting 702 on games of 189. 277 and 236. W. Holtman had the feature single game with a score of 287, while the Silver Flash of the Capitol No. 1 League had high team count, a 3,035.

The Hoosier A. C. also will stage a sweepstakes at these drives Tuesday night for members of the H. A. C. League only. E. Kernal, one of the Water Dogs of this loop, will give a ringside version of this affair, which will appear in this column Wednesday.
Fight Expert Quotes Odds of 10 to 1 Against New Zealander. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 2.—What chai.ce has Tom Heeney of winning the heavyweight championship from Gene Tunney? With the tentative date—July 26 at Yankee Stadium —almost four months away, the odds against Heeney defeating the champion are about 10 to 1. Maybe higher, certainly not lower. Strange as it may seem Heeney
apparently is the least dangerous of all the heavyweight contenders. Any one of several of the other con;enders might extend Tunney to the limit or possibly defeat him in view of the fact the champion has boxed only ten rounds since he won the title from Jack
i': - .<■. W
Tunney
Dempsey, Sept. 23, 1926. This perhaps is the precise reason why the champion selected Heeney as the challenger. No one doubts the fact Tunney made the choice himself; otherwise Tex Rickard would have had his way and staged a final elimination bout between Heeney and Risko. The champion prefers to box big, slow men, for all his courage, is made to order for Tunney. Heeney lacks the knockout punch to make him a real menace. Despite his long period of ring inactivity, the champion’s superb ring craft and boxing skill should carry him safely past the hairy-chested challenger from "Down Under.” Although he has lost three bouts, Heeney never has been knocked out. He is as sturdy as an oak, and has been knocked down, but once in his career. Paolino dropped Heeney in the first round of their first bout, but Tom got up quickly and finished the bout only to lose a close decision. In a return bout with Paolino, Heeney got a draw. B. Miller won from Heeney on a foul in the eighth round at Cape Town in 1924 and Phil Scott, the British heavyweight champion, took a twenty-round decision from him at London in 1926. SUOMINEN STILL AHEAD B. United Press NEWKIRK, N. M„ April 2.—Arne Suominen, Detroit Finn., held a time lead of 4 horns and 29 minutes over his nearest opponent in C. C. Pyle’s Los Angeles-to-New York footrace when the ninety-five contestants left here today for Tucumar, thirty-six miles distant.

ings of health over the body in general. But Konjola is especially beneficial to that most abused organ—the stomach. Among the latest to indorse this medicine to the public is Mr. H. C. Gentry, 714 East New York St., Indianapolis, who gave the following report to the Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, who is personally meeting the public and explaining Konjola to large crowds every day. The statement of Mr. Gentry reads as follows: “I am glad of this opportunity to testify as to the merits of Konjola. After trying all kinds of remedies, which failed to give me even temporary relief, I feel it is my duty to say a word for the medicine which restored me to health. “My trouble was caused mostly from the condition of my stomach. I suffered untold agony after eating my meals, as my food did not digest and a hard rock would seem to form in the pit of my stomf,ch. I was forced to go on a special diet for several months. My’appetite became very poor and at times I would have to force myself to eat. “After doctoring for a long time without results, I began to look around for something else which might give me relief. Konjola was suggested to me by a friend and I started taking it. It gradually began to relieve me, altho it worked very slowly. I realized that my condition was of long standing and therefore decided to give this medicine a fair trial. I have now taken several bottles and can truthfully say that I am eating most anything and do not suffer afterward. The diets, which I formerly used, are a thing of the past. Gas does not l rm any more and I never bloat up like I used to. The heavy feeling has entirely disappeared, my appetite Is wonderfully Improved and I am no longer short of breath. It has made anew man of me and I certainly recommend it to my friends.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy.—Advertisement.
