L. /. P. Bo10ling Gossip

Thomas Edison electrical book, exploded all over the alleys for a fraculous 300 score. Will wonders never cease. Ed?
 The midway sextet paced by their saptain, Johnny Yanavicn, who spilled 355 naples all over the place, knocked Captain Tommy Delinks and his morticians "down into the valley of the deep" for two out of three games. Dr Colney and Billy Brown (Bradunas to you) engaged Sn one of those. lets see games Doc won by bowling 79 to Browns S4. Father Kripas, as anchor man, played the part to per- lection, the longer he bowled the worse he got, 100 then 97 and finally S8. Captain Delinks also rolled an mighty hate (8S) the last game. Lay down, boys, here comes Mendle with the lilies.
 Here is score that speaks louder than words, Pitcavage 1,70S -Arnauswas 1,706, with Pit-cab. bage squeezing in under the wire men like Dr Hill. Lieutenant Matt with two out of three games. When Balanda and Captain ICE Arnaus- kas come to the fore with 3OC scores then I agree with Ice ir saying that it was tough to lose but after stealing a glance at Mike Stokes 263 and witty Al Kasidas 273 my agreement is broken and I can readily see why the Pit-cab- bages romped home with the "kopoostys."

(By Miss Lotta strikesanspares)

(By Miss Lotta Strikesanspares) Thanks, boys" Two little words deep from the heart of my friend and your friend, Attorney Ed Bobbin, who after receiving our Thanksgiving token of re- membrance just bubbled over with smiles of qualification and request ed the committee, consisting of Sheriff Jenusaitis, John W. Stokes and John Kopiczh to convey to every L. I. P. bowler his heartfelt thanks and I shouldn't be a wee bit surprised if Ed popped in OH us tonight. Wot guy-wot a guy.
 could wax sentimentalism Chats a 25-cent one) tonight, but the keynote of our L. I. P. column doesn't run along those lines, so here goes, and 90 per cent of our scorn and wrath falls upon the head of Pop Zubras and his A and Peers who hit a tartar in Captain Butch Danisavage's cellar sextet and when the smoke cleared, Pop and his cohorts calmly and non- cha1antly took it on button 2 out of 3 games. Zubies slip" recalls that adage, you can make shoes from almost any kind of skin, but banana skins" make the best "slippers'. Sheron and Dubaus- kas broke three ribs from laugh ing.
 Now it can be told, Captain Bill Mazaika, who is now Foreman MT Mazaika to his Union City-ites, blew into town full of vim and vigor and rarin to take Sheriff Jenusaitis and his deputies places and make them do things. but alas. alack, aday, and a couple of per iods, Camptain Mag finished on I the short end of all three games. Kopiczh, Cal Danisavage and Captain Mazaika pulled their "geeve a good substantial goat get l ting yell'' acted on the Lesunaitis | brothers, Jonuk and Bill, with l good results until Jonuk got a strike and saluted Mag, who re- piled in kind with, "I'll raise you | five, etc." etc, etc, etc. Druggist Bill Kenausis and Captain Jenusai- tis are no slouches at that form of | entertainment as you can see ny glancing at the scores, 1,794 to
 1880. They say an empty barrel makes the most noise. Who threw that???
 John-he try awfulla hard
 But no can getta star'd,
 He throw the ball to hit,
 All he geta was a split.
 Somonagun-wats the matter, he il say
 How those pins getta dat way
 That's justa too bad-I'ma sorry, John.
 You lose two games-win only one,
 You make me laugh-also glad;
 I like to see a captain get mad.

1ODANS SPORT&PARADE, . kAf&$4es
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

New York, Dec 6-(UP)-With the disclosure today that seven members of the Pittsburg football team were married men, one could not help but speculate on the part marriage played in the success of thes team which, but for defeat by Minnesota, would have won the national championship.
 Were the seven husbands help or a hendrance
 The obvious conclusion to draw, I suppose, is that the presence of the seven benedicts was a tremen- dous help. When a married man reports for football. the coach knows he has a courageous man. for marriage. like lion-taming, parachute jumping and steeple- lacking. appeals only to the stout hearted. You get weakling s in mar riage, yes, but like the chafI they are soon blown away.
 The fact that most of Pitts hus- bands have been married for a year or more proves they can take 1t, that they are men of stamina, To a man who has been married a year, a little thing like flying tackle or a rolling block is nothing.
 Too, marriage is a great condi- tioner. Running up and down the stairs and into the next room fol the sewing basket. a compact ni purse or whatever the little woman has left somewhere that she isn't is good for th0 wind, if not the disposition. So Is skaking the fur mace, beating the rug, hanging curtains, and moving the furniture to a new location each week.
 On the other hand. marriage might we'll have reduced the eff ciency of the Pittsburg boys. Take those days when the little woman insisted the lawn be moved before papa went to practice, and those days when a back had to engage in a rough scrimmage with noth- ing more substantial inside than burned toast and weak coffee. l don't know, of course, but il is possible that marriage cost Pitts burg the Minnesota game. It is possible that. whezn the boys went into a huddle, their conversation instead of being devoted to choos- ing play to confound .Messrs Lund, Kosta and Bevans, went something like this:
 "Yisten, Charley, do you know what Junior said at dinner las night? You know, that kids the smartest little tyke in the world
 What did he say, Joe?"
 Well, Hazel and I are sitting there. talking about this game when Junior pipes up with 'Sa, Pop, how do college football play. CTS manage to pay the rent? Ws like to laughed ourselves sick"
 "What'd you tell him, Joe? ?"
 "I just told him to grow up biz and strong and tough. and he'd find our. Where we goin', off tackle nkav lnf'l p0
