St. Patricks Bo1Oing Notes
(BY JOHN A. KEIbY)

We'll the evenings entertainment began with a bang and plenty of hoot. most of the boys are in mid season form as far as~ the vocal chords are concerned. Most of the boys put in their appearances, but we had few absent T's. Father Wirkus has been i'll as you know and is resting at the rectory, we all hope Father will be back on the alleys with the boys next week. In the absence of their captain. Dillon, Ed Fitzgerald and John Delaney bowled just enough to beat Ted Hardy's combine by the count of the best two out of three. Joe Coughlin could have won the first game for the Hardy combine. but he got one-pinner on his spare when two would have won the game. So Joe, as you know. this little spinner cost your team the first game. The score of this match was, Father Wirku's team 37S, and the Hardy combine 377.
 Joe Bowen, who has returned to the fold after his weeks layoff, dropped off some in his average as a result of his rest.
 Tho Loftu's lonesome are still seeking the old pins and just to show the rest of you fellows that they mean business, they took two more games. Loftus hit 329 and his mates, Tom Kearney. Francis Mitchell and Cy Dunphy, all hit over 290-not so bad, boys.
 Francis Fitzgeraid's team was e.. |. .tsxIS n d they were in bad condition, for they only won the one game: Johnny German and Fitzgerald were the only ones of their team to hit over the 800 mark. ,a Fitz hit 3OS. Harry Ryan and Francis Coughlin must have been on one or those famous off nights.
 Jimmy Barretts boys took three straight games from the much weakened Keller team. Keller had a very bad night and he had to take average for two of his men besides, so this accounts for4 tho dropping of the three games 10 Barretts team. Ike Lawlor, Kei- ler's only man present, made 2 great play for the 300 mark. but missed 1t by three pins. That's tough. Ike. hope you have bet ter luck next time.
 Now we come to Charley Kce- gan and his fighting Irish team mates. It eertainly was a darn good thing that Drisco1l bowled7 In the form that he did. for. although Keegan Is the captain, Driscoll took the brunt of the burden on his shoulders and put the team across the goal line for two wins out of the three chances. I think you are slipping plenty, Charley, you had better get going if you intend to keep up your average. But Ken nedy also gave fair account oi himself for the Keegan outfit. but Bud. you will also have to get go- ing if you intend to average around the 100 mark at the close of the season.
 Hank Gegan had a fair night falling PIT. This is pretty good for new man, Hank: so keep go- in galong. Eddie Coughlin's out lit only won one game from Kee- gan's team. Eddie only had two men present besides himself, So that accounts for the teams fail- ure to come through in pinches. Both his running mates, Patsy Gar vey and Ray Sheridan were not in prime condition. bue we hope to see these boys improve for their next clash.
 certainly hope that James (Chick) Tyrrell will be on the job with his team next week.
 Barrett took high single for the | night with .a 130 string. Barrett'e tecm took high three, and Loftus and Keegan took high game with a score of 40 apiece. In closing
