 Ial Record for the Season

Eddie And ron, state individual .duckpm bowling champion, last night rose 10 unparalleled heights at the Casino alleys in his match 'against Joe Footo. taking seven out of the nine games rolled. In so do- ing, the champion broke all state league records before the largest crowd that has viewed 6 state league match this year.
 Anderson WuS unbeatable and all though Joe Footc was in prime con. dltion, the champion was never bet ter than he was last night. Time after time he brought the immense crowd Q it's feet with sliding shots land although Footo missed very few
 opportunities to knock down spares 1 to add to his score. Anderson was at all times on top of him and swung over thc road to victory with a big margin to spare.
 Eddie bit an average of 125.l with total pnfall of 1.126 pins shatter- ing the high pinfall record for the league 'jl,., season. Foote averaged 102.l with a total of 9S3 which is no mean bowling in an average match. During his sensational domonstra- ton of splitting the pins, Anderson made 9 spares and eight strikes in- cluding two double strikes and in lai hp ,nfn 1t icchl h i+ ting only three breaks for a spare. Foote made l6 spares and six strikes missing seven spare breaks. The crowd which viewed the match between these two arch-rivals of the Hardware City, numbered well over 600 fans and the excitement Throughout the match was intenec. Every ball that went down the alley was accompanied by thunderous roar of shouting.
 Last nights match was the first half of the postponed series between Anderson and Foote. The second match will be rolled at Rogers al- lnys Monday night and at this time, Foote promises to turn the tables on the champion.
 Anderson. next week, will have another tough rub on his hands when he meets Hal Arnoys of New Haven at tho Casino alleys Thursday night Arnoys is among the lead
 ing bowlers of the state and will make Anderson travel just as fast as Footo made him go last night.
