MT. PLEASANT TEAM
SPILLS MANY PINS

Mount Pleasant League pin spillers
are cutting quite a swath this sea-
son. their big scores having attract
ed the attention OF bowlers all over
the city. OF course. there are many
familiar names on the different teams,
but a big majority are just arriv-
ing after several seasons of hard
work. The SenecaS and Mount Pleas
ants are tied for the lead, with the
Chestertields close up. The Senecas
have seven OF their eight members
bowling over the century mark, which
probably accounts for their exalted
position. although the Mount Pleas
ants appear the steadier. with only
four of their men above the 100 mark.
MetrakoS Of the CheSterfields is cad
ing the league with an average of
1lS-5. with Nick Chaconas of the Tri-
umph Cafe close UP with 1l4-4. ]. OFT
OF the Cheste rfields has an average OF
1l9-1. but he has only rolled three
games. which hardly entities him to
rank with the leaders.
Seven of the ten UNITS have team
averages over the 500 mark, which
clearly demonstrates the class of the
league.
The Senecas' figures to date show
conclusiveiy why the quint is high
up. Their total pins, 1893. is the
best, and high set hunors, 1..04. also is
theirs.
In beating the Mount Pleasants last
week, two out Of three the Triumph
Cafe boys knocked the NAPLES over
for total of COG, in the second round
The high set for the District for
this season. 422, is held by Metrakos.
This is just eight pins shy of the
District record for all time. He also
