CONNECTICUT PIN
 TOPPLERS BEATEN BY WAKEFIELD FIVE

For the second time in as many matches the Connecticut Blue Rib- bons finished on the short end of an Inter- city match at Genlots alleys yesterday falling victims to the Wakefield Pilgrims, a team that has age and maturity in it's favor. l. The Connecticut leaguers started off well enough, Tato and Tronoski emulating the Blue Ribbons at Washington by creating another world record in the doubles. In the opening game of the doubles yester- hay they did not quite match the score made by Tronoski and Gaeck in the initial game at Washington, but they rolled a BIO set which paved the way for U score that wiped out the record for five games held by Paul Harrison and. Maxie Rosenberg. The Washington record stands at 1272 and the wonderful bowling of Tato and Tronoski eclip- sed this by no less than 80 pins. TrOnoski started with 168 and fin- ished with a 156 and in between times registered for an average of 123. Bill Tato's best game was 153 but he also had games of 142 and 147 which helped a lot in the rec ord making.
 In this particular division the Bay Staters were outclassed notwith- standing they were represented by Red Miller and Jim O'Lindy rated as the best doubles team east of here. They finished 131 pins in arr rears.
 Nip and Tuck
 In the singles the visitors lined up Archie Walsh against Jack White and got the jump at the very start and what Is more he held on to 1t. Jack White pared down the Bos- tonians lead of 25 pins as he pro- gressed through the five games but he lacked ten pins at the finish and but for some wonderful spares in the closing boxes the victory might cas- lily have gone to the New 'Haveper. Walsh belongs to the old school of bowlers who still elect to coax the pins down in nice gentle way. He question as to his right to lead all the competitors in the national tournament for the past three years in total pinfall. The New Havener on the whole hit well as his average of 126 will testify but he was blessed with more chops than the average bowler has during the course of five games.
 After brief recess the fans set tied back to watch the long grind of the fives made just little longer because from start to finish the Wakefelds led. The Blue Ribbons won two out of five and finished 37 behind. A rally in the last game of- fering a possible change to them at the termination of the fourth set. Towards the end Paul Pochler cut short their drive by connecting with a double strike which seems to be the prevailing fashion with the and 50 the five went the way of the singles and the Blue Ribbons had to be content with their victory in the doubles.

 Not So Hot
 Frankly speaking neither team did themselves credit in the f1ves for 1t was fully expected that 3150 mark would be reached with all the abundance. of talent at hand. Carl ,H'risk found the going hard and so did Joe Gacek both of them as in the Washington series failing to hit clean, being left with set ups that are missed much more often than they are Indu0. JdCk Wulte dIteT Il poor start got in four good strings and Nick Tronosky hit around. his average. Bill Tato did we'll with 625 tally which gave him better than 128 for his ten games for the day. The games served to demon- strate that age is no bar to the bowling game, for the aggregation that faced the Blue Ribbons were bowlers since the time the Connecti- cut boys were attending school. Some of the members of the team have held championships for the past 25 years, the ease with which they scattered the pins suggests that they may still be champions in 1860.
 More Matches Coming
 This is the second of the big series to be rolled at Genlots in the past few weeks and there are more to follow. Yesterdays crowd packed the alleys to the limit and while they in most cases wanted to see the Nutmeggers win they did not fail to give recognition to any clever worn on the part of the visitors. Red Miller stated that he always en- joys his visits to Waterbury and there is not the least doubt that he does. but he enjoyed 1t just little more yesterday by reason of his
