DEBUT IS
'6lvAPPY
By R. D. Thomas

L
s. ,Gorcoran has rolled only
! one set in the Baptist Young
Peoples s Union League but il
WAS enough to make him the
most conspicuous pin shooter
in the organization.
His debut was one of the most sen.
sational OF the season, Four league
records resulted from it. Corcoran
hung up the high game of 17S and
high set of 400. His team, West
Washington, due greatly to Corco-
rams performance, established new
marks for game and set with counts
. Of SIS and 1.737. in the latter in
stance beating the previous record
by more than 100 pins.
Corcoran's 178 score was
achieved in unusual style. Ordi.
llarily a dOuble-header or triple
strike figures IN the making Of
q big game. But COrc0ran failed
20 get either. He made two
strikes, separated, and seven
spares. His. lone flat box was
the second, i'm which he got q 10.
y s s. q b
Thomas Wilson, of the First team,
held the individual game record with
160. The high set was owned by
CorcOran's teammate, Cleary. with
S75. Corcorah's games, in the order
rolled. were 49, 120 and 102.
Lester Brockton. bowling a match
at the King Pin the other day, had
an opportunity for a really power
ful score. As 1t was he shot 176.
He missed two spares that were
followed by strikes.
Victory goes not always to the
fellow who knocks over the most
pins. For instance. the Convention
Hall team has spilled by several
hundreds more naples than any
other in the District League yet is
tied for first place with the King
Pins in games won and lost.
The situation in the King Pin
Doubles League is even more strik-
ing. Pete McCurdy and Norman
Ar.ey are tar in front with only one
game lost in twelve vet they are
practically tied in total pins with
Freddie Moore and ]. McGolrick,
who have won five and lost four.
