But it was not the first time
that Pacini had strung together
two big sets. Last Winter he rolled
432 in the national tournament
at Richmond and in his next ap-
pearance, five days later, in the
Recreation League, totaled 434.

usual game. in which Pacini

Ollie's great bowling against the Pops
boosted his average~to 1925 and gave
him the league lead. His team won

margin in first place. The Bearcats
now have six-game advantage.
A feeling of security has given way
to one bordering on panic among sup
porters of the King Pin team in the
District League. The King Pins were
gAlloping along smoothly under a 4i2-
game lead and felt they could hold it
or increase it despite the power of the
second place Northeast Temple crew.
Their confidence was shared by all
King Pin fans who had about conceded
their favoriteS the pennant when up
stepped the Temnles. and gave EN- a
jolt.
In taking three games from the King
Pins Max Rosenberg and his fellow
Templates scored the sweetest victory
of the year. They not only cut the
King Pins margin to a game and a
half, but more than got even for a
Gel beating given them by their arch
foes earlier In the campaign. More
over, the Temples indicated their own
boast before the race started that they
would clean up the league" Among
those who laughed loudest when Rosen-
berg's all-star lineup was unable to
click during the first month of the
season, were King Pin supporters. Much
fun was poked at the Templates when
they dropped match after match to
weaker teams.

Rosenberg, and his men were slow
getting down to the business of clean
ing up the league. but once under way
they made up for a late start They
passed team after team until only the
King Pins were ahead, but the King
Pins were so far in front that most
dopesters figured the Temples would
need be content to finish second. It
appeared that only the Temples thought
otherwise. We've got lots of time yet"
Capt. Make kept telling his men.
And now the King Pins are within
easy striking distance. Their margin,
in fact, is not as good as it looks. They
have won 36 games and lost Is and the
Temples standing is 36-1s as the Sec

However, It is not certain this match
will be rolled. A league rule calls for
the shooting of all postponementS be-

case Of a match having so important a
bearing on the championship It may
be the rule will be waived.
The pendulum Of fortune lately has
swung toward the Temples, who had
many tough breaks in the early going.

Then there was that incident in the
third game with the King Pins. With

Campbell, their anchor man, struck.
For the count he cut out Nos. and 5
