representatives defeated the Inger-
soil Leagues best bowlers, winning
two out of the three games, in a
special match Tuesday night at
Genlot's. There was quite bit of
excitement the first game because
the Ingersoll's didn't know what
to expect from the Waterbury
Mfg. outfit. They soon found out
and the Mfg. took the first game
by a wide margin. The second
game was different story and the
Ingersollers tried to do their best
and win. They won this game only
after a lot of competition and
lucky marks by 36 pins.
There was quite a crowd from
both leagues there to witness the
last game and the cheering and
razzing of the spectators were well
pronounced above Travisano's
noise. The Ingersollers couldn't
continue the pace they set in the
second game and two of their men
finished in the SOS. Tt was heard
that the Mfg. team had substi-
tute along, but his services weren't
needed. There was great sports
manshop shown in this match and

promise of better results next year.
The girls under the leadership of
Stef SliZ have improved to such an
extent that they are able to hold
their own with the better girl
