Down The Drives With The Elks

Some teams seem to be able t0 do better without the services of their captain. Take for instance. the Gasmen. who were without the services of Captain Monaghan last week, and took three straight from Billy Cahill.
 Oscar LaConte has been bow ling in great style during the past few weeks and Is turning in plenty of wins for his team. He picked up 5S pins on his average last week, his 118 score winning the final game. Johnnie Bennett's presence, although he is still un. able to bowl makes @ lot of dif- ference to his team.
 Frank Altman started on like q whirlwind in the second game and obtained a large lead in the first four boxes, which resulted in Reilly's lone victory of the eve. ming. Both Reilly and Sullivan were handicapped with two ab. sent bowlcrs.
 The North Enders hit 534 to take the first contest, but could not keep up this work and Joe Fin ley and his boys hit their usual stride to take the two finals games.
 Henry Fiege was the shining light in Lords two game victory over the Paintmen.. Henry hit q strike at the close of the two ini. tial contests to supply the margin of pins needed for victory. In the final contest, Bill Verrfker's spare in the tenth box gave the Paint men . three pin win.
 Captain Cooke and Bill Guilbert turned in some good bowling to take three straight from the Lux Clockmen, who missed the services of Alec Hauser.

Frank Tobin finished up strong final three boxes to hit 139 and cop the weekly high single.
 The Waterville representatives were out for three more games last week and would have c0pped them only for Emil Mascolo. Go. ing into the last box with his team trailing by pins, Emil had an eight spare to win by two. However this two game win gives the Wa. terville boys a good chance to en- ter second place.
 John Scully was in rare form last week, having a pinfall of 375. which is third high three for the season. One more mark would have given John the season honor and if this mark occurred in the second game it would have given him the weekly single, as he hit 136. With Pat Gribbon's 341 three games. the Lumbermen had little difficulty taking three straight.
 If Jim Courtney's East Finders started their rally about a week or two sooner, we would find them in the prize division today, as they have won 6 out of tho last nine. They hit we'll over their average last week to take three from liar. pins team.
