Waterbury Roller and His Friends Leave About $3,- 900 in Bridgeport-Final Score, 11-1O.

As the crowd sang cheeringly Another Good Man Gone Wrong" one Robert Stone, who occasionally finds time to slip into some exclusive hostelry in foreign land and describe himself as being from Waterbury, Ct, or Conn.,, or just everyday full Con nectcut, mournfully stroHed out of the Park City alleys last night, $5G0 poorer, but richer in the experience that he had a few minutes before un- dergone.
 And as that funeral procession led by the aforementioned MT. Stone strolled further down Fairfield ave nue, into a rattler and found their way to that more or less famous mu- nicipality geographically, and some times, historically known, as Water bury, one Clifford Lewis, he of Bridge port prominence by birth, but of countrywide fame by ability and good fellowship, and his group of pin ticklers were chewing between hunks of gum, discussing that home and home duckpin match that had ter minated so disastrously a few minutes previous to Sir Robert of Waterbury.
 Twas a cold, cold night indeedee- and the funny part of it all was that lllG1e ' vas IlO SHOW ldIIlnS. e, sons of Honduras, what a shame!! But shame came not for Bridgeport or to 8 Bridgeporter. Like that storm that is supposed to have broken from a clear sky-as the gent who was color blind said-the ilustrious Connie came on from behind and made off Il games rolled in opposition to StOna St J,, Waterbury and on that occasion the two divided the strings evenly be- tween them. The final score was II to 10.
 And with that victory went also $500 that Stone had cherished so much. But that was not all Water bury bowling enthusiasts left here. When a canvass was made by The Bridgeport Times representative it was ascertained that upwards of $3,000 changed hands on the match last night alone. Perhaps the gent who came through with the richest stakes was Lou Dewey, who is said to have cleaned up about $500.
 Connie, rolling on his own alleys, was the favorite and although he was a trifie shaky he came through true to colors, although the visitor gave him a stiff battle from the start.
