The race In the Interstate Bowling
League is growing closer. The Sc

at the top, but the Amicitias, their

games of them.
Likewise, Monday night, the Am

by the Aquehongas, of Tottenville,
by only two games.
The Amarites are by no means out
of the race for first place. One feature
in their favor, is that they will bowl
on Bloodgood's their home alleys,
three out of the six remaining series.
They will bowl on Staten Island but
