Most of the bowlers are linguists, al

Burdine, of the Saengers, had twenty
nine clean frames in the set against the

Lednum in the tenth frame he might
have been successful. Then. again. Char

and Oh, what's the use trying to
figure this out?
Ever notice how some bowIers almost
tie themselves in knots, while others do
a jig. and still others execute a war
dance as the ball delivered by them nears
the pins?
Wonder if the Blues, in the Westmin-
ster League. really had what their team
name suggests when the Whites handed
them a triple trimming last week?
Acting upon the advice of The HeraId's
cooking expert at the recent classes held

But don't worry, Claude; it isn't intended
for small fry.
Cooper could only average 195 in the
Saenger-Chamber set because the lacer-

yet. Wonder what Jimmie will do when
he is Gxed up again?
Barber evidently believes in being con-

reason why the last should only be 154.
Don't ever, ever let up on 'em, George,
when you get 'em going your way, par

When PerIey, of the Nationals. in their
set against the Centrals. ran string of

might not have pulled of this number |
of strikes and spares for an average OF

Don't you realize. Sir Louis, that you |
