Tom Fleming, the superintendent of the street department has not given up hope of putting his team near the top. He has ordered a private practice session for the com ing week. and as his aides he will have Jimmy Brlckc1 who will de- pnOnstrate all the new holds which arc favoritcs with the champions Mir Fleming will give a pep talk and q blackboard drill for the bcnc- fit of "Littlc Frankie" Kcrncr ''snozzIc" Shea and "BiddIc" De- lancy have announced their intention of rolling every game to win and to keep their minds on bowling while the matches are in progress. "TatO" Ryan the beau brummcl of Pleasant street and his side kick Tom IAwIor arc practiclng n tum- bling act which is to be part of the entertainment at the coming ban- quct. Frank Shecl,y has been ab- sent for Q few weeks owing to the fact that he has been appointed pri- vntc investigator for the (chuc<lc chuckle dcnd roll almost Out) Watch and Ward society.
 J. F.. Smith & Co where nothing but the best is sold in lumber ma terials has produced about the best team in the league and we under stand Francis Smith is proud of the showing they make.
 Of course with expert woodwork CTS what else can he expected of the boys who arc knocking wood over all day long. With "Silcnt John" Scully and "Twistcr" Harvey and Dixie Mulhcrn the lineup, Smiths could give any team in the city a good workout; to-day nothing of Johnny ROzum and Handsome Har- ry" Minnicucic who are not so far behind in averages. We only hope Ed Harvey will not develop 1aren. gftis bctwcne now and the banquet where he will tell of his travels thruOgh New Zealand on q bicycle Mir Harvey was presented with q hand engraved ostrich tooth which hc takes pride in showing to his visitors in Isis Benedict street office.
 Tracy Co the home of brick build CTS has produced one of the leading bowlers of the league in the person of Tootsie Chelllni and he is in line for one of the handsome prizes al the termination of the league. Can- non Ball Johnson of Prospect Gen. ter has fallen away below his regu- lar form and is unable to locate a remedy. Captain Ernie Tracy, who is one of the mainstays of his team has Hobbie and Fish Flamigitti practicing daily to keep his team in third place.
 The ApOthecaries Hall Chemists and Painters where all good fellows come from (and the girls don's gel past by eithcr), has fine team led by Captaint SIicllac ByzcnsIH, who has more chatter than 6 deaf and dumb man with the hives. He sure does instilI the old college spirit into his cheering section and he always has good sized one there. Be- sides being n bowler Shellac is q linguist of note. we hear that he gave a lesson fin Latin the other noon hour. Good boy Cap, you'll get there. Winnie Curtis, the wonder by from the North End has been trying tG break the high single which is held by Minnicucci. We expect to sec 1S0 after your name any night.
 Chatfield and Chatfield where you can get anything from miniature golf course to concrete road is well represented by Joe DeLauritis and Shorty Nardozzi. They also have n claim to fame by Joe Sherman's being selected toastmaster for the banquet so Joe has to get in trim for the big night whchi wll be upon us soon. Joe DeLauritis has prom ised the use of his two new cem- ent mixing trucks to bring the boys home. some won't even know that they are home.
 The banquet committee has been chosen and will have complete charge of the arrangements. They are open to any suggestion from the members. The committee consists of Frank Kcrncr. Street Dept; Jack Mikit. Waterbury Mattress, and Winnie Curtis of the Apothecarics Hall.
