Lloyd won the first game by one point after the score had been knotted at 6-6. In the second, Robert made a strong bid for the title, winning by an easy score of 7 to 3.

Russell was still there, that banner of Akrnn blazing on his chest.1 "That Akrnn boy doesn't seem to be afraid of anything," commented a correspondent.

Trouble Every word misspelled was carefully checked in Webster's dictionary by the judges: Mrs. Mllfonl L. White, formerly of Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, William Harold Martin of the United States department of education and Belmont Farley of the National Education association. "Muslin" might be a word most boys wouldn't know, but Russell, with the great store of words lie gained In the Beacon Journal spelling bee, knows that one and many more. So he sailed through the eighth round.

"Ibles" and "ables" present no difficulty to Russell. "Insensible" was his ninth round word. In this round Emelia Wolczak tried to correct her first spelling of superiority, but because of the strict rules of the national contest, there tan be no second chances. Starting the 10th round, little Frances Anne Mogan of southern Indiana slipped on "surety." Kurtz Is Calm Monday afternoon Russell completely forgot the spelling bee and the excitement of a national contest. Being an aspirant to the occupation of a pilot, he thrilled to the demonstrations at" Boiling Field under the sponsorship of the National Aviation Forum, watching great army planes roaring Into the field.

He spent last night with the other spellers in the banquet for the champions, listening to an inspiring talk Professor Harding the pronounce r. Joining With him in the banquet were the Springfield township folks, arriving in the capital just in time to join the spelling bee party get-together. In the group were Mrs. Myrtle Anderson, Springfield Township teacher, and Dolly Mellingcr and Doris Heupel, two contestants in the Beacon Journal finals, and Emogene Flaharty and Shirley Hughes, who came as a cheering ection for the Sawyerwood boy. As Russell took his place on the stage of the National Press club, there was no sign of nervousness.

He was the first up there, just as he was the first to spell. The seven boys and 15 girls listened seriously to the directions given by Douglas Cornette, director of the national bee. "Don't spell one word until you know exactly what It means," he cautioned. "The boy or girl who wins will win fairly and squarely." More than 2,000,000 boys and girls in 16 states competed in the local contests to select representatives to the national match. First prize will be $500.

Others range frcm $300 to $40. Last year's winner was Elizabeth Ann Rice of Worcester, Mass. The contestants and the newspapers sponsoring them: Kurtz, Akron Beacon-Journal; Geraldine M.
