Po1ger Co. Bozcling Notes


 Heading into the home stretch we find the dapper little Memo Beardslee putting on the pressure and holding first place by one point or the margin of his hair over Jimmie Pray.
 Beardslee's bunch showed the form of true championsSw when they took four points from Lauten. schlager's Clinchers, because R.R. L. and his gang cannot be classi- fled as push-overs.
 Ed McLean's buch were red hot and after dropping the first game to Potter put on the steam and took the next two by wide. margins. To complete their work they went on to pile up enough pins to take the weekly high team total prize.

Mills stayed in the running by making it a clean sweep over Bob Nelson. But these games were close and only for Joe Arcovia' g mark and good filler in the last box of the second game they would have been on the short end.
 Althoug neither of them are go- ing anywhere, the match between Leroy and Martel was a dandy. Leroy and Kelsey's animal wan dering all ocer the alleys. Two points from each were the final outcome.
 Joe Colucci's gang Is riding the crest of the victory wave. They took three from Joe Galipeau who has been having disastrous sea- son. If Collucci and his gang cou- tinue in stride, Bcardslee Is in for a tough voyage, tomorrow night.
 Talking about voyages, we won der how proxy Tom Flanagan is enjoying the sands of Miami beach these days. Tom, however, Is well aware that the temperature goes up when the games are on in this league.
 Harold Keeler, from good old Naugy, continues his sensational work and is right up with the leaders in averages.
 The averages recently released show that Jack Moriarty, captain of the tailenders, leads with the grand average of 109. Big Jack has all the intentions in the world to come in under the wire leading the bunch as that seasons prize Is dangling before his eyes.
 Potter has been badly handi- capped by an absentee the last two weeks which has practically put him out of the running. It is something that sannot be helped ometimes, but here Is the proof of how a. teams chance Is hurt working with just an average.
 A bunch of the boys were guests of their associates down in Devon. All report that a swell time was had. The score have not been added as yet.
 George Korner hit a new lew when he finished with 249. Maybe the cold weather had something to do with it.
 Johnnie Maher had a good night and was the boy who pulled his team on top.
 Jim Kiely and George Brown came through with the kicker prizes while Ray O'Neills name went up on the board for the attendance.
 Harry Bergen has his best night of the season and with little more luck would have come home with high single for the night.
 Jack Roberts outfit lost out again and 1t Is surprise to all how Jacks team has slipped ln- to reverse after being up with the < leaders short time ago. However, Jack still has chance to do plenty of damage. x.
 The match we are not going 10 miss tomorrow night Is the one between Jim Kieiy's boys and the Mclean clan. Both Jim and Ed are past masters at throwing the verbal shafts and there should be q million laughs in this match. Mclean has promised Jim that he will bring his violin along and play solo if he wins. s,.s54,
 Bobby Raythwich was seen up Bunker Hill was last Saturday with q gun on his shoulder. It is rumored he was looking for old man ground hog.
 Kris Christensen blew the lid off and brought simels to Mouiliett's face with 352 for his three games. Ralph Nelson with 349 was right on his heels.
 We'll. it should be a great couple of hours of action when the teams resume tomorrow night, so we'll shut down, hoping to sec you there.

 Captain Hook Dubuque and his Tommie coal crackers are out for blood in the second half of the inter-house league.
 With only six games between top and bottom the race sure is getting tight. It will be more or less after this weeks schedule.
 Well it's here at last. mean the battle that we have all been waiting for. Spike" Connell and his Fordam Rams are ready 10 tackle Jimmy 1McGraw and and his Bonine crew. Place your bets but be careful because the odds favor Jimmy because his crew has been getting in some secret practice.
 The ping pong team under the great coaching of Counselor Joseph Patrick Mulcunery is now ready 60 take the floor against Counselor Tom Healeys pancake crew.

The outcome may be the formation of Woman's Auxiliary of Squires.

fiery captain, still continues his strategic handicapplng capers.


 Last week, these Plumbers de- seconded upon the Chasers and took the. usual three points that they art now collecting each week. The sec- ond game was barely lost by 52G to 521.
 The EstimatOrs, without their captain and inspiration, were a sorry lot. Even though the team was bOlstcrcd by the last minute insertion of Palmer the Wreckcr, the boys were sOundly trouncctl. troubled. tripI,ed and trimmed. The Cost won four points and climbed into a second place tie with the Production.
 The Engineers aided the Plum bers cause by gathering in two points in a close nnatch with the Production.
 Krom's 131 second game score, materially helped i'm the Produc- tiOn 534 total which gave them game and total plnfall. These two points kept the Production within range of the league leaders.

Waterbury's baseball writ :. .ers' dinner goes on tonight |. when the Ashley Club elects its officers, puts on the feed bag and then "minstrel show" that makes the New York event fade away by com parison. When a performance is good enough to be broad cast over the air at l o'clock in the morning and that's just what's in the works for after midnight from the fine big stage of the Palace theater with Freddy Hall at the mi crophone. Oh yes, I almost forgot, the guest of honor who will be toasted to a mud dy shade of brown is a Mir. Devorken. known to the boys in the Knights of Pythias as Harry the Hustler. Some of the solo presentations are guaranteed to cure advanced cases of rheumatism, collie, spavined heels and obesity of the skull. It should be great party. The committee will get together an oily reproduc- tion of Harmon Animosity Genlot as he looked from a recent publication of a photo- graph taken when he was the best hay pitcher in Simsbury.
 Mir. l.. Voracious Curley, the well known man in q pinch has been the hero of plenty of fast and furious propositions, but his latest life-sa wing act was as unusual as it was sur prising. Not having touched bowling ball since the boys on the hill gathered at the Rye Lots every Sunday, l.. V. rounded up bowling team that invaded Washington, Con- necticut last Friday night and attempted to take" the yokel- ry of that village on the towns bowling alleys. Curley's IF In the first game was a bigger shock than Les kennedy's - nose-dive, while his second game of 106 was another hum dinger. Not until the third game did he reach normalcy when q round 88 was his total. As q result, you may hear of Ed as mem mher of the Board of Selectmcn from Washing ton, Conn.,, anytime now.
 Jimmy PcrraZella (Barber to you) put on show that was dimmed bit by Curley's exhibition though 155, 113 and 138 Is not bad on anybody's alleys. The team rolled as Null ligan's Blues. though the only blue there was on some of the noses Of interested spectators, And they do say the applejack up there is tops. too!
 Dave Shade was eclipsed by the shadow of Al Gainer last night in Pittsfield where the boxer-bartender was "out- pointed" by the colored clout- CT who was easy pickings for David the last time they met.
 Eddie Hogan's jaw broke Jimmy Dowling's hand in Newark last night which gave the local boy technical knockoupt in short order af. ter Hogan put him on the can vas fewtimes. When fight CTS jaw breaks q mars hand, that's news of headline calibre mat passes the story of man biting dog. '.
