Freak Game.
But the freakiest of all games was
one in which the Empires rolled LISP
against the Colts, got an average of
l ,e46 Is for the three games, and then
lost the set. The Empires were bril-
liant, but not consistent, and the Colts
captured two games with a grand aver
age of Loss 1-3.
Mr. Scott was a doughty individual
bowler and did some splendid work
while with the Colts. In one series he
established a season record by rolling
237, 205, and 262, or an average of 23e Is.
He made but one error, getting % strikes
and s'.ares. In the last game he start
