Good afternoon folks, our feat ure topic for this afternoon will be the recording of the defeat of Ed die Loftu's great outfit by none other than Jimmie Barrett's war riors. The Loftus team in full at- tendance were humbled by the score of two to one. This is the be- ginning of new interest in our league because 1t makes the race for the final stretch much closer. The standing of both teams at the present is tic all around. You know folks I always get a great thrill out of these matches where there is brotherly love involved. First We will take the Mitchell boys from Lawlor street. John Mitchell bowls with the Barrett team and as far as average is concerned for the night he gave his little brother Francis of the Loftus team nice trimming. John rolled a score Of | $40 against his little brothers final PIP. The other brotherly love com bination of this conflict were the the Dunphy boys from South Leon- | ard street. Joe bowls for Jim Ear rctt and Cy for Eddie Loftus. Joe | Dunphy took the back seat in this I | toppled the pins for the score of | 266 while his brother who was in great form bounced them around and wound up the night by bowl | ing 317. I will now bury tho hatchet and proceed to the other | members of these two teams. Rus so for the Barrett array had pret- ty tough sledding for the evening, but I hope he will get his bearings | for his next encounter. Jimmie 1 Barrett the captain of the team and one of our leagues best men spiHed the old wood for SIS. Tom Kearney had a very unfruitful evening also, but know what Tom can do so you who have to bowl against him next week beware for he will be. out for blood. The man who had the best time of them all in hitting. those pins was Eddie Loftus. Eddie wambed them for 352. But as Eddie knows no matter how you are hitting them there | always comes q t1Ine in one game when you can't hit them. You ask Eddie what I mean by this state- ment, he can readily tell you.

 The. Hardy combine consisting of Bart Buckley. Joe Bowen and Ted himself took two games from Nl- die COuglilin's team. Both teams had men missing from their roster but COughlin's team had the great est amount of absent 1"s. The old reliable Patsy Garyey and his run. ming mate Ray Sheridan were the only men who showed up for the COuehlin team. Although these boys bOwIcd well the handicap was tCO great for them and they went down in defeat. (l,ight here may l say for the benefit of those who are always absent without q good excuse you certainly not only handicap your team but you make an evenings entertainment for those who do show up on your team q complete blank. So boys, if it is at all possible for you to at- tend these games, PLEASE BE THERE)
 Father Wirkus returned to the alleys this week after his illness of last week and by the looks of his score he must be feeling much bet ter. Fathers team beat the Kccgan array the best two out of three and the final count was the Keegan team 1045 and Fathers boys had 1162. Jack Delaney averaged over | the century mark for the evening and l hope you will continue to do the same every night Jack. Young Eddie Fitzgerald and Dillon of the Wirku's combine also bowled three
