1t, this world would be q cold, dismal
and dreary place for any one to exc
out an existence. For this reason
friendship should be treasured as a
thing precious to all Of US. Yet, these
Feltman Tramps, contenders for the
Seat Of Honor In the City League,
seemingly are casting aside all regard
for that mutual feeling which has been
weaving its way through the league
in the past. and are rushing madly
toward the top of the ladder, regard
less Of friendship. Last evening in
the TAMPA. 8. M. set the Tramps ex-
perienced no serious difficulty in an

such that. they could well be proud Of
In the family affair. between the
two K. Of c. crews. Big Brother had to
bow twice to his Little Brother, when
the X. Of c. rs waltzed through two
games, but couldn't come back SUI,
ficiently strong in the final game Of
the set to Offset Phil Mercurio's 245,
which he hung up Intentionally, too, in
the last game Of the set. Father
Ryan, our old standby, legal advisor
and coach, kept the affair from being
a regular family affair by keeping
score.
For some unknown reason these K
of G. squads haven't been connecting
right of late, their team scores as well
"a individual scores being far below
the average we know them to be cap
able of.
After a slump Of three weeks, Dick
Zeyen again came back into his own
last night, gathering enough wood to
give him an average Of ITS for the
three games. Let's get more of such
games, Dicks
1t takes pep" and lots Of It, fellows
to win a game Of ten-pins. You can't
expect to win by sitting around moping
over the strike you didn't get, and
worrying about what you'll get next
time Sit up straight, cheer your team
mate, be in the game all the time. Ray
Lichtenfels showed up what "pep''
would do last night, when, after his
team had lost two games, Captain Ray
had enough confidence and pep left
to wager a dozen of the best shirts in
his store that his team would win the
last game. j.. And they did win.
In the TAMPA. s. M. set, some very
consistent rolling was in evidence, 17S
being low average for the Tramps, and
Captain Meyers average Of 1873 being
high average for three games. The
Ave Tramps rolled a total of PITT
actual pins in the three games, or an
average Of 926 per game. or 1S5 per
man.
Ernie Way. speed artist, travelling
with Walt Ellis troup OF Egyptian
howlers. averaged high for the Seed
ers with 1877. altho' Jack Groan, orig
;nator and demonstration of the "Groan
Shimmy Ball" pulled down 205 pins IN
the final game for high individual
score for the team.
Capt. Walt Ellis is practfcinE new
delivery, which is somewhat similar to
Jack Groans, and will doubtless be
known as the "Orient's Special for to
deliver It properly the muscle dance
must be executed. Walt gave US a
demonstration last night of its ef-
fectiveness by making the and pin
split.
which began last night, was quite well
patronized, Slade and Bennett hanging
10 high scohe so far for doubles with
1857 pins. Father Ryan and Ed Kelly
paired of and were determined to give
IN account Of themselves last night
Ernie Ray and Art King were making
q desperate attempt for high score. We
are sorry that we couldn't stay to see
the outcome Of these games.
The handicaps are very liberal in
the tournament and there is no reason
why it shouldn't be made big one
In fact, provided the coal shortage
doesn't interfere, we predict the pres
ent tournament to be regular
tournament.
