Buck" Clayton contends that the E

Only two teams fell under 100 pins
for their set during the past week. The

Chris Jacobsen gave a great exhibition
in the first two games, with counts Of $50
and 239. With 475 to work on he only
needed about 30 to better Harry krauss'
high set
Don't overlook the fact that the Man
hattans posted the highest game Of the

best in the Colonial, but all other leagues.
On top of all that good bowling. the
Broadwayites failed by just six pins to
reach the Pioneers high set, and maybe
they weren't sore bunch. Good hits
that left pins in the tenth robbed them OF
high set.
Get the needle. Robinette failed to av-
erage over 200 for his three games. We
can overlook 1914, but games of 154 and
17T-nothing doing.
It's not likely that. the IroquoiS missed
Harry Krauss. 1t would have taken an
average of about 37i on the part of the
Dutchman to have beaten the Manhat-
tans the way they were going.

Talk about your consistency. List s
performance was just about the limit. and
all or them good games, too.
AL FeIton started out with 135 in his
first game. and threatened to put the
league on the bum in the set with the
Eurekas. but from latest reports the
league will continue in existence.
Sandwiching 1.s in between two counts
Of "a and 96, while it gave him an aver
age of 1O6, didn't help Marshall very
much. Too bad he couldn't have drawn
something to pair with that big one.
The Goodfeilows had no trouble taking
all three from the Toledos. Hurley S

We're there. Wasn't no snowstorm that
night.
Another consistent set--A. Fenton, 49,,
81 and 81. Guess AL must have had
something on his mind that night. Funny
how they will break sometimes.
1t was some disastrous week for Harry
Arninger's teams. The Palace dropped
a couple aud the Acmes lost all three to
the Royals. Such is the game.

With the Saengerbund taking two from

the race for first place has grown hotter.
That's the worst yet. The Chamber roll
ing on home alleys and high game sol.
Wonder what the Commentaries think of
that set. Maybe that duckpin set threw
'cm off.
The chances are the Nationals were
just as much surprised as the Chamber
of Commerce. \ couple of more sets like
that and the Sacngerers will be crowding
first place.
Sir Louis came through, with count OF
DAG in his second game, and then the
Printers lost out by five pins Just an
other good game gone to waste.
Eighteen years of consecutive bowling
in the league and still good enough to
Show high average for the week is the
record of George Burdinc. More power

He's the only bowler in captivity who can
