The bowling season is now about
over, and with the exception of few
matches which will yet be played on
the Green Ridge alleys, local bowlers
are through until the fall. The Green
Ridge boys alleys were built late in
the season and the club members only
caught the bowling fever when the
craze was dying out among the other
rollers.

The West End Wheelmen No. and
