PERRY PICK.UPS
BY FAM1GLETrr JOE

It all started when Bernie Nens- low, chief of the delivery depart fnent challenged anyone in the shop. to playing game of duck pins. Not to be outclassed by Ber- nie's boast, the boys all joined in chorus and gave him the we'll known Bronx jeer, ending up with a we'll balanced Nertz!!
 Well, tho boys, or are they the youngsters of the Jefferson street laundry composed four teams which Is made up of the Zofic, Floats, Thifts and the All-Finish departments, and gaily marched down to Sam Sena's bowling pal ace to drive Bernie to shame. A handful of powders that were en- poying the game until the boys marched in, thought that the Moo Yawk police department had hit town The Perrymen were all attired in blue uniforms with a six point cap, which would make any fair lass's heart go ga-ga!! Depos- iting their laundry bags, to one side of the alley, they proceeded to draw straws out of empty soda bottles to choose their teams. Six men lined up in rigid attention wait ing for the bugler to sound their fighting song. As soon as the buzz Ter finished, the boys in blue salut- ed their superior. Bernie, made a lunge for the laundry bags they had carted along, and with all the force of locomotive, the bags went bowling down the alleys until Sam Sena, rushed up, and said, What the heck, are those the new modern balls they use this sea- son!!! The boys were mortified to say the least, and getting right down in cleaning up the wash. we will now try to give you wash by wash inning of the game.
 Winnie Dimaria, was the first man to lead with a right, made a grand slam, resulting in the boy being surrounded by admirers to be able to learn his secret .. Let him tell you sometime about that other secret of his, what a man!!! Bernie, who was the cause of all this trouble sent ball scur- rying down the alley, which, in the spectators viewpoint, was bound to do some damage only resulted in having one pin collapse, where- upon, the boys in blue formed in huddle and from that issued one of the sweetest Bronx Jeers ever heard in these parts!!!! No need of my telling you, If his face was that color of an Indian!
 Suddenly with a great big huff and a puff, the musicians struck up that popular number, Inka Dinka Doc, and who do you think then, put in his appearance, You guessed wrong. 1t wasn't Durante, 1t was the great mimic-er of his. step up and take bow, Finton Synnott. He's the youngster that at home his mouth is shut as tight as a clam, but in the outdoors. you can hear him as far as the Naug- atuck river flows It seems that the slim lad outclassed all the others by turning in a score of IA receiving high single honors. not being satisfied with that, he copped the high three honors with a score of 356 .. His salary will prob ably be raised by Bill the paymas- ter next week.
 Side Chances I'm wonder ing if that gal has anything to do with that poor showing Tony put up.s <Aiu tAC DOJS WGAC nWSo "AtA the score J. Dimaria turned in, he was the person, who didn't know thing about the game Smith spent most of his time looking for the nickel he had dropped which probably accounts for the patches on his uniform .. Did Shugrue return that cigar as yet. Nick Jamele will probably be after him Syifh O uya rranffi
