John L. Vaeth, the Grand Central
bowler, today is credited with three
distinct duckpin records, A. C. B. A.

phenomenal streak of pinspfiling
which started with a set in the Dis
trict League last Monday, and ended
yesterday with FIVE. games concluding
the series participated In by himself
and Tom Mayhem, and Ed Howser
and Ray Chaplin.
During flve. days Vaeth rolled
twenty-one games in regular competi-
tion, abiding by all rules of the pas
time, such as observing the foul line,
ETC., and for the long string he aver
