The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1932-02-25

Our season will come to a close
on March 3rd, and at the present
writing the Street Dept, are four
games ahead of their nearest rivals
the II. y. Blakeslee outfit whom
they bowl this Thursday night. The
two teams are about evenly match-
ed and an interesting match Is IN
store for the followers of both
teams. Cob DiMartino hit 37l last
week to top the season record Tor
thee games by one pin, Whlle
Freddie Kelley of the Street Dept.
missed a golden opportunity 10
better the single record of lJ4 by
missing a four pin spare in the
eight box to finish the game with
a score of 149 Shellac Brayciskl
showed up with the Apoth. Han
team last week in an effort to stop
thu winning ways of the street
Dept. but he was a bigger help to
the City Boys than he was to his
own team mates. The boys let
Shellac off easy by refusing to light
any matches in front of him. Hoot
Carolan and Father Shelly did not
have their usual luck with the pins
bounding back and as result they
did not fare out SO well. Eddle
Hebert captain of the Blakeslee
five has already paid his members
their cut of second place money
when he was informed that the
Street Dept can't lose in view OF
tho fact that the. last week of
bowling finds the Street Dept ana
Water Dept. facing each other.
Figure it out. Eddie. Freddie KEEL
ley leader Of the Street Dept de-
served the high single last week for
he has proved to be an able lead
err all year and under his leader
ship the Street Dept has been in
first place since the opening game,
and the boys all felt bad when he
missed and Freddie took it with
WelI-known smile without any
alibis, about poor lights, square
balls or any of the dozen different
things that the average bowler can
think of to cover his failure to do
the right thing at the right time,
in other words Freddie does his
bowling on the alleys, and winning
or losing he is the same Freddie
and this system must be the proper
one for Freddie doesn't lose many
and the team have caught his
spirit, and that is one of the rea-
sons they are up in the lead, and
look like sure sinners. Freddie
has proved himself to be an able
leader, Il credit to the league and
we are taking this opportunity with
the league schedule nearing its end
to give him a well deserved pat
on the back for his fine sportsman
ship and the able and efficient
manner in which he has handled
the affairs of the league that have
required his attention.
frankie Kerner the st Lept out
law uses the LEM system on the
alleys while bowling with the Wa
ter Dept team and to date has been
a bust so to speak we suggest he
changes his tactics so that he will
probably get his reinstatement
papers next year from the street
sweepers. Harry Matthews who
acts as the score thumb on the
streeters is way off form, this is
because he is all worn out rolling
the sheese at the Franco club.
Gertie Minicucci ex-pin boy is
the demon minipulator for the
Smiths of Benedict St. that is If
his cheering section is with him.
Two OF tnc NateI I1tpt boys nave
ordered new set of store teeth
to help them enjoy the banquet
that much better. Ray Quill, mas
cot Of the Blakesle team, said that
the banquet will not be held as
rumored in the attached lunch car
located on the Blakeslee property
Aft Wolff the champion of good
fellows is still thinking about some
OF the rulings made by Judge Mini
cucci during the season. Now that
