The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-24
St. Patrick's Holy Name League

It remained for Johnny Gudonis to provide the fireworks after a week of effort. The lanky stooge belted the maple to the tune of 359 and Wa sawarded the porcelain tea set.
 Eddie Loftus and his mates &C., complished something unusual in coming home with the team honors to hold that top position in the league standing. They took the dented Devine club in three games. Features were provided by Irving Delaney, Tex Sullivan, Bill Keller, Captain Loftus and "Hashbrown'' Phelan. Russ Colombo Faux Rice and the Ryan-Garvey combine ex- celled for the losers. Take bow boys.
 The trailers who incidentally are under the leadership of Ted Hardy dropped another pair to Cy Dunphys pin ticklers. Jim Moore, one of Brooklyn's native sons, hit the maple rather hard but only collected 326, which Is considered to be fair score on an off night. Jack Mitchell and Cap- tain Dunphy upheld the traditions that remained. Mike Kitchen and Gudonis furnished the entertain ment with Hardy practically out of the picture.
 Johnny Delaney and the lads came through to take the Francis Fitzgerald team into the alley or to the cleaners as the case may be. Heaps of credit has been bestowed on the already heavy shoulders of such battle scared veterans as Pat O'Brien, Jim Brady, Mike Croce, Capt. Delaney and William Carroll, youngest of the five. Re- gardles sof the result it is our sad duty to add bit of criticism to- day. None of the Railroad Hillers hit the 300 mark and we do hereby place in a corner Patty Russo, James Griffin, Tom Kearney, Fran cis T. Fitzgerald and his nibs, Joe Kelly. Let's give bushels of jeers for Kearney.
 Nice pinning on the part of Mike Higgiston was of considera ble as- sistance to the Ray Sheridanites who took two games out of the hands of Father Wirkus and his team. They took the tailing pair of ontests by close margins. Faith CT Foster and Pat McGuire exhibit ed something of an English sway and the latter was left by the way side in the finals. Slips Magro and Ebbie McGrath kept in a class with Joe Dunphy and all are still try ing to find out what actually hap pened in the second frame. Mike Daily holds the solution for it was he and Barney Smith who first con- ceived the plot. More anon.
 Surprises were in store for all of the favorites this week. Jim Barrett was sorry later that he showed up. It was the team that Mike Driscoll whipped into shape in those secret practice sessions that done the trick. Mike showed his hooker to the fellows and they proceeded in the act of throwing a few rings around their rivals. Tommy Lawlor added several points to his average as did Ted Bares in that SS game. We had something in mind for Joe Bowen hut didn't think that 1t would be acceptable so we will Simpiy nave 10 state that Joe VIII probably do a little better next week. Toots Cipriano didn't give his team any help.
 Add these names to the duffers of the week: Bart Buckley. Mike Russo, Tommy Edmonds. Art Viel. lette and James Barrett. Remove Jim Phelan for Jim failed to put In an appearance this week. We anticipate that he will be around on next Monday night however. Let this be a challenge to you sir for singles contest one week from the coming Monday. The loser will have to bear the burden of being here. after known as the worst bowler In Brooklyn (wlth the winner sec. ond worsu. Do you or do you not accept this defy sir. Name your own stakes if you will.
 We salute Eddie Loftus and his mates and wish them the same sue. cess next woke. IT go uwant any
