TINE chilly blasts Of winter
- seemed to be the tonic needed
to stimulate scoring in many of
the city'S ten-pin loops, for during
last nights sessions many nifty to-
tails were turned in by the FASTENERS
in action, Although no city records
tumbled during the strike and spare
engagements, new marks we're set
up in several of the circuits.
The Fountain Square Recreation
and Washington Leagues, which
usually furnish the topnotchers of
Friday nights sessions, were halted
when new pins made their appear
ance, and the bulk of the outstand-
ing pin-topplers came from loops
which seldom crash the headlines.
The Merchants League bowlers in
their weekly turnout at ST. Cecilia
Alleys celebrated the debut of ''old
man winter" with quartet of bulg-
ing series that were topped by the
city's best solo work of the eve
ming, 696 from Frank Gautner Sr.
1t was the seasons best in the South
Side circuit. He mauled the naples
! for games of 245, 246 and 205, and
though Norh Wehlage, a team mate
on the Miller Grocery quintet,
scared six pins over the 600 mark,
they dropped a pair of decisions to
the Observation-Disclosures No. 9.
The Millers used a 1913 count fer
their lone win.
A pair of Pioneer Tavern men,
bers cut loose with some fancy scOr-
ing that gained that aggregation the
best three-game total of the season
in the league. With Fritz Gruner
at 666 and George Schmalz at gel,
the Taverns posted a 2944 from
games Of 1046, $40 and 9SS, to win
all games from Voigt Mortuary.
That's the whole story of the Mer-
chants gathering, for in other team
matches nothing of Importance hap
pened. Bakius Tavern BANKED Vo-
gel Meats. while DIFFERING -Litzel-
man No. l, Lou-Ann Beauty Shop
and Williams Chevrolet took two
each over Polar Ice G. Fuel, Lauck
ware.
THE scene shifts to the North
l. Side, where Frank Thompson
gave members of the st. Joan of
Arc League new record to shoot
at. During the loops melee at the
Uptown Alleys, Thompson welded
chain of strikes in his middle game
to reach 277. and when he thanked
it with a 21E and 1879, he emerged
with a $50, that proved the best
series of the season in the circuit,
and good for city-wlde runnerup
honors of the evening. He easily
outdistanced all league rivals. for
the next best count was a sos from
Wilson.
Thompson's Davey Optometrists
used his top series to an advantage,
taking two games over the opposing
Uptown Cleaners. Wilson'S Mis-
souri, Pacifics were more fortunate
| for they outscored Pittman- Rice
Coal Co. in all three clashes. Other
series resulted in a triple victory
for Blackwell Funeral Home over
A. c. Crum jewelers. and two-tilne
wins for M. H Farrell Granite and
Barrett Coal Co. over Duffy Malt
Foods and Uptown Tavern.
Horace Toolcy bowling in the Bank
ers League at Pritchetts, came in for
share of last nights CORY, when ne
fred his mineralite into the pocket for
611, the best series of the Bankers
present campaign. Opening mildly with
200. he gained momentum and
turned in 226 and 251 for his bullying
count. Union Trust team, however,
failed to take advantage of the big edge
furnished by Tooley and dropped two
games TO Indiana National Bank No. 1.
Two other honor counts emerged from
the session, Frank Mann leading In
diana National No. . to a triple victory
over Public Service No. 8. with a GIL as
Paul Jones COO aided Indiana Trust in
its shutout over Indiana National No 8.
In the remaining series Public Service
No. won twice over Public Service
Nc. l.
The Construction League after its eve
ming of maple-spilling at Pritchetts, found
a new individual total record-holder in

duced 673, through games OF 258. 20l
