sixty-nine and seventy -one. Said Gus to himself as he started the third, 'I guess I'll have some fun"
 With a series of strikes, spares and some nice big fills,
 He brought a look of pain about Frank Mellon's gilIs
 For twas his score of one fourteen that helped put the game on the shelf
 And sent Frankie home talking to self.
 There is no truth to the report
 that Bill Klobedanz was thinking | of having Ray Lautenschlager photostat his score of the second
 game-one twenty-seven is not 50
 bad at that, Bill.
 Bill Flanagan, the south paw
 from Oakville, couldn't get started
 in the first game, but in the sec
 Ond and third he came through
 nicely, ending well over three hum
 drcd. Some of the opposition tried to put Bill on the pan but Bill, be- ing one of those birds who reaches
 for "Murad," seemed to improve
 the more raZzing he received. Hank" Downey may not be the | leading bowler in the league, but he is in a class by himself when it comes to putting members Of
 the opposing teams on the pan. He took a vast delight handing out the chin music to Harry Brennan and one look at the score sheet
 convinces one that his method is a success as far as Harry is con- cerned. Harry says that Hank | should enter the next hog calling contest.
 Mrs Frank Mellon and Mrs "Dick" Hyland sat through the
 agony waiting for their respective
 misunderstanding like kepeing
 tabs on the boys. girls.
 c. J. Allen dropped in for a few
 minutes to look the boys over. We
 remember when c. J. himself was
 a very active, yes and would add
 a red hot, participant of the old
 bowling league in the days of the
 Farleys, Regans and Doyles. We guess that being chairman of diff ferent membership drives and bar
 gain day arrangement committees along with interviewing famous
 movies stars, keeps c. J. pretty well tied up. There is rumor that when he does have a little time. on his hands, he is going to take on Tom Flanagan. This should make an interesting bowling match. Wed like to be present.
 Mike Smith, the Naugatuck Gigilo, knocked the old pins for a fare thee well. Mike became a trifie excited after getting a two split in one of the boxes; when his next ball started for the old hole he at tempted to control it with a little body English. In doing so, he first lifted hi sleft foot off the floor and then tried to defy the laws of gray ity by lifting the right foot while the left dog was still in midair, As Q result Mike gave pretty imita- ton of the way Primo Camera looked after catching one of Jack Sharkey's left hooks on the button.
 When Benny Goldstein noticed that Merritt Potter was attired in n nice lOkOing polo shirt he in- quired as to whether or not Mer- ritt had come up from the Service building on Q hOrse-you would do it, Bcnneh.
 Kiely's Martyrs were just push concerned, taking two on the chin and lnGinU total ninfnl1 ENray l. Byrnes, the Martyrs anchorman, usually stepped up for his last two boxes in each game with about teen odd pins to pick up. Quite a load of burlap, Frank.
 Bill Anderson, the lead-off man on Bill Lcroy's team. pinned eighty three in the first game and seventy nine in the second, He then pro- ceeded to cut loose and had fifty He kept up this good work through the remainder of the game, total ing one hundred twenty for the string. Fred Drummond, one of those observing fcllers, noticed Bill go over to where he parked his OvercOat prior to starting on his pin busting spree. He asked Bill in that dry, casual way of his, at the finish of the game, just what did he-Bill-remove from the OvcrcOat: relic or was it rab- bits foot. Let's all in on it, Bill.
 Bobby Raythwich says that everything would be jake if it were possible to swap his golf scores with those which he gets on the alleys. Me too. Bob.
 Some one made a mistake and went home wearing Fred Valerio's 1881 model hat, leaving one of a size five and one quarter behind. H. was told that 1t belonged to Buck Bergen who was just finish- ing his last string. Going over to Buck he handed him the hat, which was unconsciously put on by Harry while adding up his score. This move convinced Fred that Buck did not own the hat. It fitted him just like q peanut shell would on the Lilley building.
 Joe Pilkington, the big realtor down Hopeville way claims that Jack Roberts has become so used to placing the ferret in the hole while hunting rabbits that he has no trouble doing the same thing with a bowling ball. Game warden take notice.
 The storerom boys, Harold keI- sey, Bob Snow and Jack Robinson, were noticed rolling c blood string after the league games. This same trio plans Co lead an invasion this evening on George Peck's dance
