| for 360 total. Well Johnny, we hope we spelled your name right tonight, because that's the way you told us to spell it when you asked us to mention your scores.
 Henry Kluge who some years ago bowled on the Office team where he was nicknamed the Ace in the Hole because of some very nice bowling he did against the league leaders, is fast rounding into his oldtime form and spilling the ma pies as in the days of yore.
 With Christmas but a few weeks away and we know that many of our men have written to good Old Saint Nick asking for everything from godo average to being the lucky one to win the kicker prize, might we suggest that the members of this league hold 8 grab bag night, say on Friday December 20th. Every man could bring a present not to exceed ten cents, and do as we all did back in the days when we learned the Golden Rule, drop all the gifts in a bag and then grab for one. At this writing we are unable to say whether we will have tree or not.
 This league opened its second series last week and will finish this series in ten weeks, when the first six teams will battle it out for first place while the last six teams will hold a Little Worlds Series" among themselves. This plan will force the league to bowl five more weeks, but when the bowlers figure it out the last f:ye weeks will and should create plenty of action, both in the top six teams division and the bottom.
 We'll, it won't be long before the banquet committee will get together and start lining up the plans for the annual chicken eating contest, which winds up all good bowling leagues, and in one respect are looked forward to from the first night of bowling.

YEAR GAS CHECKS
 PRISONERS BRAWL
Protest DemOnstr a tiOn Made Against Maryland
 Prison Leaders To-day

Baltimore, April 29-(UP)-A dozen long-term prisoners screamed cursed and smashed furniture in their cells today in protest demonstration against the Mary land state prison administration. Guards fired several rounds of tear gas into the cells before an initial disturbance was quieted. The malcontents renewed the disorder from time to time. A captain of guards was cut by a medicine bot tie hurled from a cell.
 The prisoners, including Jack Hart, who recently was returned from Illinois to serve life for mur- der, remained locked in their cells. They were in a segregated section. Superintendent of Prisons Harold Donnell, who was at the scene of the dis. "bance with Warden Pat rick J. Brady, said he was not at all concerned over the outbreak. He said the unruly inmates would be kept in their cells.
 A new state prison board goes into office next month. The demon- stration apparently was started as an effort to discredit the present administration.

Rumors will not down that when members of Sheridan Council meet May to nominate officers for the coming year contests will develop over several of the places. Accord ing to the information now heard around the club rooms there wil be two or more candidates pre-. scented for almost every office or the list.

Guilfoile, Treasurer Ja m Burnes, and Chancellor James r. Colwell, no office on the list Is safe. with possibly one exception, that of Grand Knight, to which Deputy Grand Knight Cornelius F.
