The Trinidad team in the
knights of Columbus League has
slugged its way into an advan.
tageous position by upsetting the
first division teams with monoto-
nous regularity.
Under the expert anchoring Of
Leo Diegelman, ably abetted by
one of the best-balanced supports
in the city, they pounded out
victories over the league-leading
BalboaS, having taken four out
of the six games rolled against
this star-spangled aggregation.
They materially aided in keep
ing the strong Ovandos, Genoas
and Santa Marias in the lower
half of the upper bracket. They
took four out of six games from
Genoa and Snatched the odd con.
test from the Ovando the only
time they met.
During this month in piling
up a nine-straight-win string
they swept De Sofa, Pinta
and Santa Maria in the order
named.
Their winning streak was
stopped by the tough little Nina
outfit, which only the week before
forced the Balboas to roll off a
tie to get the extra game.
his teammates "the cream of the
league"
Leo Diegelman maintains that
his team is the best balanced in
the league. proudly pointing out
the fact that only a few points
separate the high man from the 1
lowest. That's team work." he
asserts, "and team work is what
we owe our present high stand 4,
ing!"
Watch us breeze in ahead Of
that Balboa star team" he con.
tinues. 1--WE might drop a few
sets to second division teams. but
we can always beat the Balboa,
Ovando or Genoa. The league
championship is ours, bet your
boots on that" Leo's teamsterS
seem to agree with him whole
Iheartedly.
Diegelman started his team
about five years ago and it has
steadily improved its standing
year after year until now it
stands well within striking dis
tance of the championship, though
the road is rough and rocky and
fraught with many perilS.
He has kept his lineup in
tact since that first year,
each pinSter showing marked
improvement as the team
gained standing. The team
clicks together like clock
work.
Leo Diegelman is its inspired
captain and high scorer, holding
a l06 average. Jack Kiley, one
of the oldest bowlers in the city,
has been bowling for over 20
years, a founder of the K. C.
League, treads closely to his cap
tain with 1903.
Emmett Carr, the star port
slider, ranks third with 101. Carr
is another veteran who has been
hanging around bowling alleys for
long time.
DR.. Robert Mawhinney and Joe
Diegelman, cousin of Leo, are
fighting it out for fourth position,
both running a 100 average, .
few pins dividing them.
DR.. Mawhinney once formed a
team in this league entirely made
up of medical men. Joe Diegel-
man is characterized by his
cousin, Leo, as "the heftiest man
on the team"
Cecil Mears, the pedagogue
star, and Silvio Poll are the other
two who round out the team
roster.
Last year they finished fifth.
This year they are vehementR
disputing the league leadership
with the Balboas.
Tad Howard hit on a novel idea
in arranging alley selections for
the intercollegiate Alumni League
which holds forth on his new
Rendezvous alleys.
This league has no regular
schedule, arranging the forth
coming matches week by week
and Tad was at loss how to
keep them straight regarding
their opponents and alleys.
The bowlers used to come in
confused over whom and where
they were to bowl, so Tad got
himself a lot of collegiate pen
nantS and tackled them over the
alleys where the teams we're to
bowl. This ingenious plan
solved the problem brilliantly.
