last night Charlie was bowling IN the
Easnnic League at Convention Han.
Nearby a District League match, IN
vo,vins Lucky Strike and Convention

DACK he went to his Masonic League
ID rolling. Doubtless he added l75
and 144 and found that II DAILY
rolled 142 in his last game, Charne
Phillips would no longer hold a record.
AS soon as he had thrown three balls
down the alley he was back. watching
Daly in the final game. This was re-
peated at every box until finally, to-
ward the end, he saw that Days nnal
effort was not SUFFICIENT to break the
record. Daly's last game was 1881
"Whew!" breathed Charlie. Imagine
his face when he saw that he still was
the sole owner of the high set record,
Then try to imagine it when he
learned that Days first game wasn't
IA at all.
1t was only 104!
DUT even though Carroll Daily did not
ID break a record. he had done more
than one bowler's share toward
bringing his team out Of slump that
had every one stumped. Lucky Strike,
with only two victories IN IL Tits to its
credit, went to the hall last night con-
WINGED that it was then or never II 1t

third. 500 to ssh

Convention Hall. Even. as a pilot Of a
ball team shakes up his Batting order to
get more hits, so did Campbell with his
bowling team Aston Clarke was moved
from fourth to first. DAILY retained his
place as second bowler. Weidrnan was
shifted from first to third. Campbell
changed from anchor to fourth and Nc
Philomy dropped from third to fifth.
Twenty-four strikes were made by the
two teams.
In another District League match last
night Columbia took a two-game lick
