Bowling League "Busts."

Lack of enthusiasm and support
among the members of the Hammorlrk
city bowling league, which was orgaA'
lied over month ago, resulted in the
pinmen disbanding last week. The lack
of interest in bowling this year cam
not be accounted for and for the first
time in years Hammond is without a
city bowling league. Pinmen who took
part in the city series are now rolling
with Gary and other teams in the re-
gion. Although the Hammond city
league is no more the city has several
five-men teams who are doing good
work on the alleys.
