| knew that Birmingham had grown
to be large city, but I had no idea
that 1t was such handsome city. It's
business district is elegantly built UP
and as for it's residence sections, few
cities have such beautiful boulevards
or such beautiful homes. The landscape
effects here are simply enchanting.
Birmingham with a population of
something like 100000 I am told, will
reach the 100000 mark within the next
few years. No city of approximately
its size has had such phenomenal

PAPER DEPARTMENT
IS LEADING LEAGUE

At the conclusion Of tho first section
Of tho Andrews Duckpin League. Paper
ts found to have . substantial ad-
vantage on the other teams. its margin
OF leadership being Just five games
Stationery Is second, with q record Of
eighteen games won and twelve lost,
while Balcony brings UP the rear Of tho
charmed circle with nineteen victories
and fourteen defeats. One Of the best
indications, Of a successful second sec
ton in tho Andrews League is the fact
that every bowler has kept up his In
terest In the games throughout the first
series to such an extent that not q
single forfeiture was noted,
In the matter Of individual superiority.
Lentz. with an average Of 1926, has an
edge on the entire membership of the
Andrews circuit. Wagner Is second
with figures Of 1926 this really being
the best average in the circuit as he has
rolled In every game. whereas Lentz
has played In only nine games, Griffin,
with mark of ss.S follows Wagner
closely. that average having been ac-
complished by participation in twenty
seven games.
