Elks' Bowling League Notes

Flanagan, as they started talking to Flanagan last week. This match will furnish plenty of ex- citement as first place in the stand ing at stake.
 The sixty.nine pin handicap was too much for Cy Dvileslis and his team, for they couldn't raise enough power to win more than one game.
 Conny Larson's spectacular fin- ish in the third game against Lord won two games for his team. He collected 38 pins in the last two boxes of this game which decided this thrid game as well as the sec- ond which had resulted in a tie. Captain Pope saved the second game by finishing up with a six pin spare which made a tie game.
 After a poor start in the first game, Billy Cahill's mates came back strong to win the final two, hitting 5S1 in the second game to better their first score by over Q 100 pins.
 Frank Tobin is always rescuing the gasmen, hitting 127 to save his team from a complete upset. His double spare at the end of the game was the margin of victory.
 The Soldiers marched right through Verriker's Painters for three games, moving down every- thing that stood up at the further end of the alley. Sullivan's team would be we'll up in the standing if they were more steady and punct- ual, for they turn in nice games when all are on hand. Bill Verri- ker made . nice effort to save one game by bowling 131, but he was short Q couple of pins.
