FACTOR IN LIFE
OF ALBUQUERQUE

The City and Railroad Young Mems
Christian association Of Albuquerque
has always shown itself to be one OF
the biggest factors in the many social
and other activities OF the city, Under
the able management of its directors
and General Secretary Lynn Fl. Fox,
the association has maintained each
month an even balance of receipts
and expenditures. The athletic events
under the able dictatorship Of c. j,
Green have been of the very best,
The bowling league has proven a
marked success. A total Of LOIS
games were bowled during November.
The highest average was made by G.
smith, who scored 2G9. In order to
work up greater interest in bowling
among outsiders. monthly prize will
be offered. For the month of De-
cember a fine jack knife. which is OH
display in the office, has been hung
up as a prize. Elmo Sganzini made
the first big score of 234. This has
since been outdone by Farrell in a
FAC game and by Streeter. who rolled
1887. 1t is understood that a move
ment is on to reorganize the bowling
league in order to take in more teams
and place the men more systemat-
rally.

be two or three independent teams.

citation had made its way into the cen
