 Bowling Notes

The Waterbury Water Department team is still in 6 slump and If things don't happen soon they will find themselves in sole possession of the tail end position. But rumors have been heard and we think that there will be a shake up in the team be- fore they again meet J. E. Smith next week. Thomas Fleming, the new and popular superintendent Of their department is an ardent fol- lower of the game and already has his team in secret practice. All the boys feel greatly encouraged now and declare that they shall not finish last anyhow. Mir Fleming is coa ching the team himself and will make his first personal appearance against J. F. Smiths on Friday the 18th. So take warning opponents Friday the 18th stands for bad luck for who, well we don't know. We wish Tom luck but he has Q tough job getting his team to win two games at least in the same night unless they play the Blind Insti- tute. They lost two games to Tracy Brothers last weeK owing to the fact that Jack Delaney got lost In tho snow storm raging at the time. Thinking all the time he was on his way lO lhc Azhu AC A'''''o wiped the snow out of hls eyes and the odor of ham and eggs assailed his nostrils and he found himself in Croce and Coluccis. Tom Lawlor. the new recruit for the department team shoots them from the wrong side but how effective. Cookie Shea, Tato Ryan and Sneaky Sheehy are all practicing left handed.
 J. E. Smiths are making Q good fight to stny fin first place. With that smiling bachelor. Ed Harvey leading. We hear that Inc is con sitlcring ball and chain. tush tush Edward, your well off now. Dixie Mulhcrn and John Scully nrc still the biz shoots of their team followed closely by "Ilcd Shirt" ROzum and Handsome Harry" Minnicucci.
 Jack Mkt with his Waterbury Mattress team Is still rushing the leaders hard. Jack has the old col lege spirit In his men and when his crew gets together and gives their yell we are reminded of the good old days at dear old l. C. S.. Gusliotl' A. Mikit, Budvis and Vgnitsare show ing some fancy bowling to keep their team up in the swim.
 
 CIlatficlds and Chntficlds Cement Mixers arc also In the racc (fOr last place with the Water DcpO, Joe Della uditis Inns been getting the best out of his men and every night the team Is gathering higher scores. An, but wait until tho banquet then they will be in class by themselves, Antipasta. Joe sherman, the official announcer, of the league Is running Pete Shea a close race in the calling racket.
 Tracy Brothers arc showing somo of the classiest bowling m the league at present with Captain Ernie lead ing the way. With Johnson. Hob bic Tracy. Tootie and Fish Famigii- etti are making q game fight to fin ish in the money. Ernie Johnson Is organizing quartet which sing at the coming banquet. The boys are already taking n correspondence course In the vocal art. Wild Ernie has been gargling his throat with fit which he claims Is the best thing in the world for loose tonsils. Hob bic Tracy Is said to be n great first bass but then baseball comes in the spring. let's wait until then before we take 1t up.
 The Apothccarics Hall boys arc still confident of finishing In tho dough-. because of the pains their Captain Shcliac Boxpcki takes with them. Johnny Curtis is still conf. dent of coming out of his slump but wc believe ho still holds tho high
