single game with handicap added ;
III. the highest three game individ-

1881. highest single game rolled, from
scratch. and 2SS5, the highest three
games rolled from scratch this season
in league play. II was q wonderful

in that department. Last but not

chalked up 25S for the other boys to
shoot at
