Who won? Who lost? Well, let the captains tell you all about 1t.
 Captain Patsy SantOra-My Oil Cans are now in sole possession of first place. We had little trouble in taking three games from the Pumps, who up until we rolled them Tuesday night, were tied with us for the top position. Al Roden with 384 and Johnnie "IIiser" Mastandrca, with 37O cas- fly carried away the hOnOrS Tor our team. It seemed as if every time these boys threw q ball down the alley it was either a strike or spare. All Jim and had to do was sit around and look on. get ting up once in a while to throw our three balls for exercise.
 Captain Bossey Baldoni The Pumps bowled All and 423, enough to win us a couple of games if we had been bowling any one else beside those Oil Cans. Eddie Guarino, Al Canavan and myself had good scores but we just couldn't compete with that bunch at the rate they were go- ing. Rocco Colella came up with a nice 112 for us in the second game. Those Cans are going on high now but we'll catch them yet
 Captain Albert ''PrOfessOr" VOlpe-That fast moving Grease Gun team of mine won two games from the last place Gas Caps. Joe "AnchOr Man" Mastrandrea was the only member of my great team to roll over 300. The Orsini brOth- CTS. Nick. and Tony, couldn't even talk q good game this week. l had poor night, which you know IS unusual for me. No, we weren't very hot this time but still we were able to take these chumpS in- to camp.
 Captain John "Red" McGrath- Talk about luck, if those Grease Guns weren't lucky to take us then Pm not a good bowler. They beat us one game by nine pins and an- other by six. Just to show them who had the better team our Gas Caps got serious in the second game. Johnnie Kurth hit Al, Jimmie "Duck" Stolfe, 123, and a couple of good marks by Nick Fratangelo and myself was enough to beat those mugs by a mere 90 pins.
 Captain Dan "Three and FOur'' Iucian - Yes, we're still in that slump of ours. It seems that no matter how good we roll the other | team is always just a little better | We lost two games to the Hup | Caps. Yves Clarke. Johnnie Farm er'' McCristIe and old "Three and | FOur'' himself hit over 300. Jimmie Burkett had q poor night so I have ordered him to report | to me early next week to get some well needed pointers.
 Captain Massey "Boundbacks' Baldoni-Well kid, that Hup Cap | team of mine did just what I told you they would. Third place is not good enough for us and we expect to keep right on going now until we move up to the top. I rolled 329 | to lead my team to two game win from the Trays. No. I didn't | get any boundbacks either. Victor Martino, the flash, Nard Santora and VanMegroOt gave me a little help, which was all I needed to secure these victories.
 High single went to Johnnie Kurth with Al while Al ROden
 hit 3S4 to take high three.
 The league leading Oil Can team by hitting Al had high game also high team, 1903.
 We'll, it's the first time this sea. son any team has been in first
 place by more than q one game margin. But with seven weeks re. maining on our schedule and only l ca D n ftHu~ fhn HPgf RVf teams. the race Is by no means over. No doubt, we will see plenty of action before this old race ii over and we go for our soup and
 nuts.
