 Jack Reilly was also in rare form bowling 366 m his three games to tie the lead in tllis branch which was held by Cy Dvilcskis. However this score was beaten later in the week and is now second high. In the final match. Reilly was forced to the linl- it to beat his opponent, Emil Mas colo. They ran along tied for eight boxes when Reilly went ahead to win 139 to 131. Tough luck. Emil.
 It sure does some people good to see their name in the paper. Last week we mentioned Ben Lavalle's us up he makes three. Keep 1t up Benny, the season is young yet.
 The Watervillc Dan Sullivan kept his mates from returning to the cell- ar position this week by giving a sweet bowling exhibition. During the contest Jim Burns entertained with fancy and difficult shots.
 Aid" Donahue returned to the pastime after a short illness and his moral and vocal support was largely responsible for spelling Finley's chances for first place.
 It proved to be n record breaking week in all respects and VIC think Joe Harpin's total for his three games this week will remain high for the season. Joc hit TAP, 14O, and 117 for total of 389.
 Harpin's team mates were also in good form and hit a total of 1590 for games. Although this Is high three games to date, it is not count cd as Mike Whalen was substituting on the team.
 After losing first game by two pins, Warren Cooke went right after the next game, hitting 123. He and his mates still maintain game lead. Revenge is sweet. After being knocked out of first place last season by Flanagan's crew, Jim Lord and his team evened matters this year by making a clean sweep of their match and blasting the Mechanics hopes for the season.
 Captain TOugas saved the day for his mates by bowling 110 to win the first game. which was their only win. Doc Godfrey, Fred HungcrfOrd and Bill O'DOnnell all made marks in the last box to the second game to win by three pins. In the final match all of the Stewards turned in good scores.
 After splitting the first two games, Ronald Sullivan made desperate at- tempt to take final game. He made spare in last box, but his five pin fill was two pins short of 8 win.
 Jim Courtney is making a strong attempt to regain a hold on first place, which position he held with others during the first four weeks. His sfarpshOOtcrs were all in rare form this week and had no trouble winning three games.
 A bowling dual was staged between two of the Elks youngsters, Pop Lux and Jim Hutchinson, Friday evening. Although Lux won the personal con- test, Hutchinson was satisfied as his team won the three games.
