 far enough so on Wednesday night, when they tackled Becky Hitch cocks F. g h ing Cougars, they brought their hunting knives along and skinned the Cougars for four points which just about ruins Becky's chances of finishing in the money.
 "BiIp, Anderson showed up to bowl with one of his fingers done uD with surgical bandages. He had to retire after the fourth box in the first game when the finger be- ban to bother him. Bill stuck around and checred his gang on for the rest of the match.
 Since Ole Martel had that two hour wait up in Hicksville while his windshield wiper was being fixed, he believes in preparedness before starting on long auto trip. Wednesday morning business fore ed Ole to make a trip out of the state and before leaving he saw to it that the car was equipped with an extra set of chains, two windshield wipers, two sleet wands and a compass. We are told that the back of the car carried pair of roller skates, set of snow shoes, Riddle car, water wings and flexible flyer. Ole said he would also carry along a bob sled only he heard of that accident at Lake Placid. Commander Byrd would do well to get in touch with Ole before he starts on his next expedition.
 In the last game between the teams representing the Waterbury District and the General Office held at GcnIot's last week. Si D'ViIcskis' first six boxes were marks. We thought Si was on his way to a record score but bad breaks in the remaining boxes forced him to take 149 for the string. Wasn't bad at that, Si.
 Mike Smith showed the boys that he can hold up in keen com petition. Mike came home with a nice 356 total in the State league match last week.
 The bowling series between those two fiftcn men teams representing inc Meter and Construction depart mcnts swung into the second match Saturday night at Genlot's 1 alleys. The result of the match is very good evidence of the fact that these two teams are very evenly matched. The trophy Is to be awarded to the outfit accumu- Iating the highest pinfaIl for the l series of three matches, and as the Meter Gang is only up 3a | pins at the finish of the second leg. it looks as though the winner of the Leonard Price Trophy IS going to be the team that receives the break in the next roll Of. This last and deciding match IS gong to be rolled next Saturday p. m.' February 6, 1882, at GenlOt's start ing at 6 o'clock. If you have in- tcntions of attending the games, we'd advise you to bring along cotton to plug your ears as these boys are not putting on a tea party.
 When the scores were tallied after last weeks games, the Meter total showed 4468 while the Con tructs ran up 4467 for the night. Just one pin in the Meter combine favor. Considering that the total pinfall sum for both teams for the night was 8,S35, the one pm victory of the winner was surely very minute margin. MT Ripley, of "believe it or not fame,' should add this oddity to his list.
 Charlie Gerillo, who always makes his appearance with his iron cranium covering tilted at a rak- ish angle, was the big gun for the Meter Clique. Charlic's 336 lead the high three parade. Johnny DiVito, also of the Meter Mob, south-pawed theW for 134 which brought John high single honOrs.
 Frank "Robbits" Cichetti would no more think of bowling without wearing his cap than Mahatam Ghandi would consider making a public appearance without hls bed sheet. Frankie had that outshoot of his working to perfection and his 399 was a vast help in keeping the Metermen in the running.
 Millionaire COIucci shot a prac-
 
 tice game prior to the big roll-on Saturday night. The boy sure was hot for he marked his way to 14S for the string. Maybe Anthony wasn't proud of his good game especially since his wife ana daughter were in the stands watch ing. He stated that Inc felt hko Lindbcrgh.
 Ted Breithaupt was a heip in keeping the Meter fixers n the running. His first ball was a poe ket hit most every time. Keep It in there this week, Ted.
 THE HONOR ROLL. Fred Drummond and Joe Cali mean are joint holders of the front scat this week with 332 each. Mrs
