exists between these two. For
the first time since It's entry in
the loop the Trinidad outfit
stands within striking distance
OF the championship the glitter
ing Balboa combination barring
its way.
A Both teams ride each other un.
mercifully, while the other first
division teams lose no opportun-

both of them.

That's my challenge. Let's

by just one or two games.

we are going to be just two
games behind them, and wen
step right in and sweep the
set, s1latching the league
championship right out Of
their hands by one game"
In the meantime, the Ovandos,
GenoaS, and Santa Marias are
\ keeping mum, but doing plenty of
thinking. Even the Columbias
and the Marquettes haven't
exactly abandoned all hopes Of
ultimate triumph.
So it looks like q merry, merry
time will be had by all during the
final series which start on Febru-
Aary 20, and whoever wins the
championship will certainly de-
serve it, for they will have had a
tough time doing 1t.
The Patti twins, Stuart and
Sherman, Southwest Washington's
l4-year-old bowling prodigies, are
also in for their share of defies.
Friday night they will meet a
couple of 14-year-old youngsters at
the Rendezvous alleys. "Ouncey"
Harrison, who was singled oES by
these two, names next Wednesday
Anight at Convention Hall as the
place where he and pete" Gi-
naris will bowl the twins. If they
can't make this date, "Ouncey"
stands ready to arrange dates to
} suit.
The Mailing team, Post Office
League leaders, took up the
gauntlet thrown down by the
newly formed Parker-Bridget
combination. They will bowl
them at any alley, preferably
next Thursday, February 20, but
are willing to change the date
pif this Is inconvenient for them.
The Mail-men aren't particular,
they'll make 1t total pins or
games.
