 game, but during the third game Thomas got several other gents very materially interested go tipmt he went homo "cven stephen" as far as the old iron ts concerned. I tilinIrewc mentioned once before the 6ea0P Flanagan is . tough llOmbre to remove the iron from. Ray Lautenschiager is very thankful that Bob Stone does not sell cubebs at his bowling palace. Ray bet that red topped squire from Bunker Hill, John Moriarty, q couple of smokes that he would beat him. Ray won and J0hn furnished him with n couple of cabbage weeds which Ray decided would be too unkind to his throat to use. Why don't you run for President like Eddie Cantor is do- ing, Ray, and use them during the campaign.
 A few weeks ago ole Martel, ,af- ter very poor night on the alleys, told Bob Stone that if he ever formed clnBs with the intention of teaching the finer arts in this game of bowling, he intended to join 1t. We think from the looks of the score sheet the past two weeks that ole is really getting private instructions. While you are on the hook, Ole, We wish to pass the word that the boys appreciated the averages in the Light News.
 Tor boy who is under . doc tors care, Mike "GlEOl0, Smith does remarkably well on the alieys. His bowling k ono of the nnin reasons tint the boys on some of the teams thnt are down near the bottom Of the heap nrc clainOring to have tho league mOguls do the same stunt tO Mikes team that Connie Mack did tO hls sfOO.OOO indclh some years ago. Such is fame, MikcwclD.
 Harry Brennan and Anthony Coluccl had tl,c boys guessing ms they gave on a faint Od0r Of roses wherever they went on the alleys. The rcacon was thnt they purchase cd some of thnt pretty lavender col0rcd soap from ono of those street salcsnIcn whom they met tho day before. From now on Harry and Anthony arc not in thnt unfortunate class which is com posed of members thnt even their friends won't tell them.
 Becky Hitchcock's Prayer. Oh! Ole, dear, please listen to my
 plea,
 My team needs strength as you can see,
 Though fourteen points we have won
 With mediocre bowlers it's been
 no fun.
 To the top of this league. crave
 to arrive
 But my chances are slim with my
 present Ave,
 More bowlers? Why. yes, could
 use four.
 But their averages must be ono
 hundred or more.

 Ed By did not roll his usual good game. Ills score sheet must have reminded him of somo of the totals that he accumplated after three rounds of golf last summer.
 Burt Warncs felt . hit down In the mouth after the game but he won titc attendance prize SO thnt helped matters trinc.
 Tom Dodds has arrived. Thc way he smashed those pins caused Hugo I,angc tO think that Tom had Aav- cd himself until he was teamed a- gaInst hts outfit.
 II K the league moguIs wish that next week the bowling night might be m honor one as far as absentees and tnrdincgs are con cerned. They request the captains 10 cheek their men the day before and try 10 have each member of the team on hand nt tho appointed time. We are sure thN lf every one stopped to think that by being late he kept nine people waiting. most of usc would be homo to put the old feed bag on much earlier. Wo are not nll Jimmy Walkers 40 let's give them n hand.
 Big Jim klcly. the big meter man, contributes this column again. Plenty of. meat In your column, Jim.
