 32O into the pits. His team captain, Vic Baker, sent down 313. George Sullivan and Jack Murphy chalked up BIO. Merritt Potter led his team with 324. Bob Nelson's 311 was rather low for him. Nick Gala breses heap was 322. Dick Hyland marked up 311. Otto Moulliette with 341 brought the Mellons home with four points.
 Charlie Hepburn" Gerilli, the meter department setback coach, had been looking forward since the opeinng of the season to the night when he would meet in combat the Golfers, 60 percent of whom are from the meter department. "Hep- py" had made no bones In adl- nOuncing the fact that it was to be his night of nights and the pleas- nre lie was going to derive from giving his pals the wOiks. Charlie like the pug that left himself in the gym, must have Over-trained for the match for Ou "Heppy" was anything but his former self in this battle. Maybe you can blame 1t on breaks, Charlie.
 Maybe Fred Valerie didn't go home with load of satisfaction Wednesday night. Not only did the Potter, whom Fred anchors for, put Ed McLean's gang down four points but to add to his heap of joy, the crooning florist took his pal Johnny DeVito for two games and pinfall. Johnny said something about biting the hand that feeds. Frank Byrnes, one of the prom incnts of Fairlaw, also in the front ranks of the EllSs' league, went out and got himself into the high three prize class. Frank tried without avail to stop the onslaught of Mori- artymen.
 Paul Atwood of the Watertown Atwoods has his own personal cheering section on hand each bowling night in the person of the Mrs. Mrs Atwood gets quite a kick watching our alleymen do their stuff. By the way, there are very few bowlers who take their bowling as seriously as Paul. It takes more than the doctors or ders to keep him from the alleys Wednesday nights.
 As Red MOriarty was on his way downstairs after the match some one told him that the alley at tendant had his team as being tied for pinfall instead of winning as Big Jack thought. The spacious one nearly destroyed the architectural splcndors of the GenlOt Bowling Palace on his way back to straight en out matters with the A. A. False alarm, wasn't it, Jack?
 Ray Beardslee, who Plymouths up from Bridgeport each day. gave away too much weight when ne tackled "Short Wave" Johnny Burg. The Commuters twisting; hook wasn't as successful as usual against the methodical MT Burg.
