SOUTHERN RAILWAY CLERKS LEAGUE
Team Standing.

This week we find the leaders just
as they left off last week. Freight
Accounts holding a 5-game lead with
only more games to the finish.
Freight Accounts broke all records
for the league with a 1.7o1 set
against Construction, but at that they
needed all they got to take the last
two, as Construction certainly did
fight hard, losing one game by one pin
and the other one by just a few.
Freddy Zobel shot a 72 for Auditors
in the first game. and Purchasing
grabbed this by one pin. which seemed
to be a tonic. and Purchasing stepped
out and took the other two, keeping
on even terms with Operation.
Passenger Accounts had no trouble
taking the first two games from
Traffic. but were left at the post In
the third.
Operation, thanks to the good work
of Spencer, jumped on the fast
travelling Station Accounts and made
clean sweep, enabling Operation to
hold second place.
Stanley had high game of 151. and
rolled the highest set ever bowled In
this league, 399, just pins more than
| the 394 set rolled by Tom Spencer.
Freight Accounts had high game OF
571 and high set Of 1,701.

of Newark.
The fight spread to other members
of the team, part of the 3.0u0 specta-
tors rushed on the field to take part,
and police reserves finally were needed
to quell the rumpus.
Referee J. Walders of Philadelphia,
although roughly handled in the melee,
was willing to continue the game. but
police escorted him from the field to
prevent further disorder. No one
was more than slightly hurt in the
scrimmage, although the field was
Uttered with broken umbrellas, parts
of clothing, and hats.
An outbreak narrowly was avoided
early in the game when Walders
awarded a Newark penalty kick after
a Uruguay foul. The players milled
around the official, but trouble was
avoided when Capt. Marshall dellb-
erately shot wide of the goal. The
South Americans arrived an hour late
for the contest, which, like their two
previous games, was played on slip
