manage alleys and the scribes who write
about the little pin game will be seen
in action.
From the Masonic and District

male contestants. Meyer Davis and
Lucky Strike teams of the Ladies Dis
trict League are represented in entirety
as headliners on the list of fair duck
Primers.

ing a comeback after two years of COM
parative idleneSs.

Brad Mandley, Joe Mulroe, Arthur
