Foley, of the Southern New Eng land Telephone Go. established two records in the Mercantile League on Connie Lewis alleys last night. He recorded the high single of 153, which is a record high single rolled in a match game, and the high total of 347 in three strings. Foley went a dizzy clip for the first five frames of the first game, having rolled 93, with a. spare in the sixth, followed by strike in the seventh canto. But here his spurt was ended, knocking over only four pins on the strike.

Locals Trim GIenbrook.

Y. M. H. A. added another victory to their list last night when they trimmed the Glenbrook Big Five by the score Of 43-18. The locals had no difficulty in winning and they rather took things easy. The score at the end of the first half was 22-11 in the Y. M- H. As favor. Dave Kaplan, for the locals, played the best game of his career. He seemed to be in every thing, breaking up most of the vis- itors' plays. He accounted for 13 points. Rube Gordon had a lame leg so Capt. Max Fitelson took care of the pivot job and he did so in fine style.
 Sol Mooney and Billy Marron also did well at the forward positions.
 For the Glenbrooks Ungemack did the best work. He made 10 out of the IS points scored by his team.
 The victory boosted the Y. M. H. A. chances for the state title 8, little fur ther, as the Glenbrooks were in the running.

Arthur Devlin, former F'ordha m coach, who looked over college play CTS in his capacity as Giant scout last season, pays a high tribute to Conlin, Harvard's star shortstop. Says DeVlin:
 'tConlin, the Harvard shortstop, was by far the best college player l saw last season. I tried to get him for the Giants-and maybe he will come to New York. But I have it that he is going to the Cleveland club in June. He is ready to step right into a big league job-fast, heady, fiashy in the field and a fine hitter.

 Devlin did not see Mcguire, the Holy Cross second baseman, which was a pity. We wanted his opinion of that young man, who will go into professional baseball in June, after the Holy Cross season. The Giants are said to have the inside track there
