Good evening, ladies and
 gentleman. This is Station
 WFOE broadcasting in wave
 length of 370 kilOcycles with
 out authority of the federal
 radio commission.
 Bowling will be on Monday night this week (tonight) instead of Tuesday as many of the league members are going to Hartford Tuesday evening to meet the grand worthy president of the Eagles who is to be in that city. where Any members wishing to go is ad- vised to see Lester Brennan or Bill Ryan for arrangements. With just nine more games tO be played 1t looks as though this years champs will be Stcin's team. The leaders have . five game lead and only . great upset can prevent them from cOpping the bunting. The race for second place is much closer with four teams tied in the standing and great battle will bc on to the end and 1t is possible that . layOR will be necessary to show the win- ner.
 Boyce's team rolled AS in the second game last week against Graham's boys. and just missed high team single game by one pin. This is the first time in over five weeks that Graham's team has lost two games in one night and despite some good bowling by Ryan and Phelan they were forced to bow to the team which has had the Indian sign on them all through the season.
 Al Valonis entered the Hall of Fame last week when he pulled . triple strike against Murray's team. But in spite of his exceptional work his team was only able to take one game from Murray, thcrc- by reducing Stein's lead and stepping what looked to be . leaders. Since Dupre and Neville were added to the doc- tors rtstcr they have been knocking off plenty of games. Ask B0yce about that! All those buttons you saw on the alleys last Tuesday came from Francis Stein's vest while he was | receiving congratulations on his becoming a daddy for the second time. In honor of this event we have decided to dispense with the carnations and leather medals this week and have presented this | weeks grand prize - a rubber | apron--to Francis.
