l He l0ln OI tHc mOutn Se6IneQ unlucky for some of the teams in the Church league. Take for in- stance the Second Cong. team which was just nosed out for two games by the Bid Bad Wolves from Waterville. The first game went to Second Cong quite easily and it looked as if it were another nite of victory for them. But in topped the Second Cong score of was a game apiece and both teams ed to get it by all means. All went fine for the first half and then the boys from St Pals Episcopal began to pull ahead until in the last two boxes they were up. Whether or not Clarke, the anchor man from Waterville, figured it was in the bag, at any rate he chopped and split, etc getting just few pins. Backman came through with two marks in the last two boxes and needing seven pins to tie chopped through for only two giving the Waterville team two games out of three.
 As 1t stands now Second Cong is still in the lead but now are but i've games up on Mill Plain, St Paurs Episcopal and First M. F., are tied for third place with AZ games and right behind them comes Bunker Hill with 40 games tied with Prospect.
 Bunker Hill and First M. E. had a rather interesting match with each one winning a game and Bun ker HilT giving the last game to First M. D.
 In the first game Bunker Hill ran wild over First M. D., in fact First M. E. might just as well not rolled for all the score they hit. They rolled a shameful 4S2 with Bunker Hill hitting 526. In the second game the table was end for end with First M. F.. hitting the high spots. But the third game came along with First M. F. sail ing proudly ahead until the last three men came ufp to roll and then Bunker Hill started in to get marks and by the time the anchor men rolled it was in Bunker Hills favor. It was here that they gave the game away. The First M. E. man had a pin spare leave, miss ed it and then hit the two for ten. The Bunker Hill man rolled, had 5 pin spare, missed them twice and lost the game by one pin.
 Mill Plain came back strong to take two games away from South Federated after they had lost the first game by 20. At first it seemed like South Fed mite but Captain Harvey led his men with 351 to the final tune of two games won and one lost. Mill Plain is now in second place and pushing hard to at least cut down the lead that Second Cong has and maybe win the coveted honors this sea son.
 First Cong. and First Baptist are now tied for the church league cellar honor. First Cong. took two away from the Baptist after a bit terly fought contest on alleys 5, G., l and 2. Swanson and Snow dis tinguished themselves in this match when they rolled we'll up in the 300. Swanson hit 149 for high single honors and 367 for a high three only to lose out for the high 3 honors to Walter Magel who hit the pins for 402. Snow, the anchor man for First Cong. was only points behind Swanson.
 St. Johns Luth. ran rough-shod over St. PauIs M. E. who were unable to hit 500 in either game. But what care we said St. PauIs M. E. we will take it out on First M. P. when we roll them next "Wednesday night. This is more than an idle boast because they always do take two away from First M. E. Tn the match with St. PauPs M. E. And were the St. Johns team
