showing of the Eagles who started off
this season with every prospect of hold
ing a good position in the league stand
ing.

bowling. They have had great deal of
hard luck

the league, still holds his own. and is
doing his usual steady work. Crist is an
other member of the team who keeps up
well. The remainder of the team Is made |

out at least one team in the league race
The Eagles and Jolly Fat Men will play |
a set of games next Wednesday evening |
on the alleys of the latter team. 1t is a |
game originally scheduled for tomorrow /
