TONIGHT

The alibi artists will gather to-
night at the Recreation bowling
alleys. The final matches OF the
first.hal series in The Washington
Times Duckpin League will be rolled,
and four teams will have a chance to
finish in first place. with a posi-
bility that two and probably three
teams will tie for the top position.
Total pins, then, will decide.
Banter and banaIity will be heard

up very close to the head OF the

With four yards to 60, Wilton

swarmed over Sims, and the
