beaten like that and be awake.
 We suggest that Brown of the "Office Team" take up golhng, his scores would read better.
 Hop-a-Long Bradley came all the way from New York to be beaten three games. We think he was kidding about New York.
 Doc Tromley and his brother, Charlie, bowled against one another Friday night. Doc strained leg muscle beating Charlie the first two games. So Charlie pulled the towel of the hanger and white washed Doc the last game. Gil Gay says he always thought the pins were called by numbers. some of the names he has heard them called were wicked. We won- dr what he called the eight he left standing in the last box. Grady says
 I throw 8 lovely round house curve It sweeps them like 8 broom,
 Most times 1t cleans out just the
 center
 And leaves me plenty room,
 The next two balls I throw And say a little prayer
 But my prayers are seldom an-
 Swered,
 For the pins are never there.

CHAMPIONSHIP 0F FIRST ROUND
 10 BE PRIZE
Close Game Loked for BY Rival Managers; Play-
 CTS in Form

With neither team defeated to date after several weeks Of cam paigning, American Brass, and Wa terbury Clock will go into the Y. M. c. A. tonight to shoot it out" for the first round championship of the loop and incidentally put on . bas- ketball game that ought to have its full share of thrills from start to finish. The Brassmen, harangued by Myles Kelley are the pick to win from Clock because of Q stronger array of individual talent such as Joe Boley, Matty Sheehan, Dave Bartolini, Henry Koch, Paddy Da- melio, Jasilunas and Howie Lough- lin. Bill Sweeney, former Villanova player and this season with the Olympics may also see service agains the Clockers. E
 Ready To Go
 The latter; coached by Tom Mag ner, ex-Pennsylva1ia hoop stalwart and now a financier, also has a sharpshooting, speedy array with Felix Longo, 'Tiger Red" Lyons. Johnny Kiesel, Nick Hudenbenko, Soup" Despins and "Hoot" Gibson who are ready for their big test, having worked up to it gradually and in winning form. It will take a strong defense from Clock guards and center to hold the Brassies in check, 8 situation which caused Manager Myles Kelley to issue the following statement: Clock may be all wound up for this game, but they will look like p. m. when we get through with them tonight"
 CIockers "Hot"
 To which the always affable Coach Wagner replied: "You can tell silent Mylesey Kelley, 1t will take plenty of hoops, not conversation to win this game, for the Clock kids will look like a four alarm fire tonight, for they are real hot on those hoops. After which Wagner charged Kelley the usual percent a month for taking up his time to make a statement upon the outcome of the contest.
 The game set for 8:45 p. m., will be oficiated by Henry Darlington and preceded by a tussle between Scovill and Bristol company outfits at 7:30 o'clock.

Shoe Hardware Bowling Bits
By BIFF

Bill Bremen picked on Little Man Big Stuff Carosella this week and gave him little Irish bowling les- son.
 Pork Chops" Outlet discarded the shoes the cobbler fixed and bought himself a new pair. Well, it helped a little, he hit an even 300.
 Satchel Petitjean who boasted he would break the high single record didn't even bowl 100.
 Hopper Weyman had 8 deadly aim this week and hit 352 for three games. Let that be a lesson to MT. Petitjean; if the cactus berries don't work try the needle.
 Shame on you Julius Kleinert, we saw you take a score card and fill it out, so you fool Phil Becker. We bet you didn't put down 79-85 and 96 on 1t either.
 Ohl Oh! Did you see what the Bucks Hill Sherlock Holmes Faber did. We won't tell, but by the looks of the scores he must have thought he was hunting rabbits again, for he certainly found plenty of holes.
 Frank Belanger said I got my captain working for me now. "It's about time Frank, he loafed long enough"
 Harry Byrnes and team had one night they didn't have to thank anyone for game. (They lost all three of them.)
 Jimmy Curran said he bets the writer of this Chatter" wouldn't write about the shellacking he gave him. Well, Jimmy darling, he it is; Harry Liebeck went down in dis. grace from the beating he received by the Scotch, green and alley bowl. CT Friday night. (Ha, ha, Hoo' Man.)
 Art Broullette will out crow all the roosters from now until next Friday, about the three games he won. But next week he'll only cackle.
 Boys, think it proper and fitting now to write few words about that fellow who never misses a game. He is always there to cheer and en- courage the boys on Art Broullette's team, he's a loyal rooter and a great fellow, take bow Bill Lowe. Our hats off to you.

 Brooklyn is hard, too. Our park is used for football in the winter, and that plays the devil with the turf. When 8 ball rolls out to the outfeld it is likely to do anything before you can get hold of it. That's especially true of centerfield, where there's so much territory to cover"
 Cooney rates Pepper Martin of the Cards as the hardest player for an outf1elder to handle. Says there is no way of knowing where Pepper will hit the ball.
 Sometime I wonder if Pepper himself knows"
 Cooney is one of those rare base- ball players who doesn't drink, smoke, chew or cuss. That durn near makes him not 8 baseball player, if you get ghat mean. And if you don't, don't worry, because it's not important.

 RYANIN TOURNEY

Vincent (Fat) Dunlap nosed out George Ryan, the florist, in the third match of the city three-cush- ion billiard championship at the Wooster Academy last night.
 It was a veritable battle of the giants with Dunlap forging ahead in the opening innings by consist ent shot making, only to be over taken when Ryan found his stroke and clipped runs of five, four and several twos.
 The game was played in fast time and the final score was 35 to 28. Tonite will see Paul Lindquest op- pose Ty Cobb in what should prove a close battle.

A little knock-a little boost First it's me--then it's you
 No harm done-it's all in fun.

(By Miss Lotta Strikesanspares)
 The call for new bowlers was an- swered spontaneously and simul- taneously by two members of our league, Jack Orintas and Anthony RomanouskaS strutted in with smiles as wide as the Mississippi and shouted, Hold everything" and hold everything we did. Jacks was g bouncing boy of 7h pounds and An- thony topped that by 4 pound or 7H pounds. The cigars were appre- ciated as evidenced by the clouds of smoke that waited skyward, so were the refreshments Tony. Lest we forget, Billy Stiklius chased the stork and when he caught up with him, To and behold, there was an 8 pound bundle of joy with the name Joseph Vincent Stiklius on the card. What, another bowler, Bill? Who's next boys? What did you say Al Jonikas? This is 8 scoop a la Winchell.
 So much for the juniors. The seniors who reported for duty are Brooks who rolled "brooky 70' and then expanded into river size score of no. Don't flood over Brooks. Oh, yes, MT. Brooks is lead of man on Pete Adams team. Cap tain Al Francis has an "old" as well as . new face on his chain gang namely Dan Stokes of baloney fame and MT. Achas of whom we know but little at present, but wait. Cap tain J. Danisavage has 8 strapping 6-footer named Barzlouskas who handles those agates just like he does wrenches in his dads garage. And lookee, Assessor John Jenu- saitis assessed an asset to assist his team in their climb upward and that asset who is to assist the assessor is one about whom you will read plenty. Take a bow Joe Swasey and if you can assist the assessor like you assist the K. of L. basket ball team Jenusaitis should finish .l-2-3 or better.
 Did you see it? Five prominent men arrested as female impersona- tors. Detective Joseph Bendler and Deputy Sheriff Al Francis picked up five female impersonators who turned out to be Doc Selens, Ed Happy Lasky. Attorney J. Ailshau- sky, Attorney Clarence Balanda and Stan Colney. When brought before the court (what court: the good will court) for an explanation ex- Sheriff Jenusaitis, their bondsman, in his most ofiicious and legal man. sner explained that the above ac- cused were members of the |. I. F. bowling league who were on their way to get special bowling lessons from Miss Ida Simmons. Discharged. said tie judge. Attend St. Joseph's .lninstrels and watch the boys do their act all over again. It's ter rife, ferocious, atrocious and what have you. v

Do1gn The Drives With The EIks
Hyland 3, Gribbon 1. Verriker 4, York o. Stanton 4, Cunningham Q.

Notes
 Verriker's team has had the best winning streak of the season, hav- ing gone several weeks without loos- ing point. They have moved from last place into third place in the National League.
 Hyland'S Gasmen and Stanton's Rollers are having quite battle for second place in the American League. Both teams are confident that they can wipe out the six game lead that Mulville's Undertakers have.
 Freddy Gumpper and Capt Dviles- kis were hitting the pocket against pr. Cotterio and both turned in three nice games. Dr. Cotterio's team had to roll $40 In the last game to salvage one point.
 Harpin's team made 37 marks to roll 1889 against Reilly. If they had made half the riarks they missed th-cy would have create da new worlds record.
 Dr. Lawlor's 364 was the main reason that Whelan's team won three points from Dr. Leonard.
 rascola's team rolled 572 in the first game against Scadden but then called it quits for the night
 For the first time in sevearl weeks Pelletier had a full team. The boys were so pleased to see ea,h other that the ycelebrated by giving Sullivan's Brassnen an an- nealing to the tune of { to 0.
 Mcpartland's team went to town against the Soldiers and took quartet of points from Cooke.

NEW MILE MARK LOOKED FOR AT
 HUB SATURDAY
Five of the Best Runners to Compete at PrOut
 Games in Boston

Boston, Jan. 28-CUP)-Track ex- perts today freely predicted that a new Boston indoor record would be established Saturday night when the nations greatest milers clash in the K. of c. mile at the Prout memorial games.
 The star-studded field consists of Glenn Cunningham of Kansas, worlds indoor and outdoor cham; pion; Gene Venzke, former Penn star and current national indoor king; Archie San Romani, the new Kansas sensation; Don Lash, India mas ace two-miler who'll be mak- ing his indoor debut as 8 miller; and Charlie Fenske, the Wisconsin whippet.>
 All of them have done better than All for the mile, and it will be the first time these five has competed against each other indoors.
 Cunningham holds the indoor mile record at 4:08.4, established at the New York K. of c. meet in 1884. There isn'te the remotest possibility, however, that his mark will be ap- preached Saturday.
 To begin with, the Boston track is 12 laps to the mile, one more than the track on which the Kansas fer established his world record. Addi- tionally, it has abrupt banks and is slower than the New York track by four or five seconds.
 Boston's indoor mile records is held by Veneske, who did the dis tance in 4:14.4 in the 1936 B.A.A games.
 With competition as scuh ra- or-edge, it is virtually certain that Boston track fans will be treated Saturday to the fastest indoor mile ever seen here, one that probably will be accomplished in ALA or under.

L. ]. r. Bozcling Gossip

Oh you want bowling news. I beg your pardon, thought this was slam-bang night. Well here goes. Still skidding because they can't stand kidding we find Chappy Lasky and his newsies on the short end of three games with but win. Papa Jack Orintas with PutinaS and Whitey Smudin hitting the high spots with scores of 334 and 313, greased the skids that shot the Laskites downward to whefe they hold but a three-game lead over Wally Pitcavage with ZubraS, Dani- savage and Mazaika close behind. Don't skid, learn to kid
 It's more fun and very easily done Life's too short-be good sport .
 Up today-down tomorrow
 Try a smile-down with sorrow
 L. I. P.'s are regular guys,
 Get wise boys, get wise.
 They'll come by foot, byclcles, motor cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and on horse back, yes, they'll even come by airplane for the greatest hog calling contest in <9 states. At one end of Highland avenue, on the top of Town Plot school you will find Buy Right-Sell Right Tony Zubras, at the end end calmly reposing on the chimney of Russell school will be the king of testers yipping, yell ing Al VailoniS. If your ear drums buzz and the earth trembles slightly do not be alarmed next Thursday at 8 p. m. The "winnah" will be taken on a fishing trip to Lake Candlewood by Dec Selens and Happy Lasky an ddropped to the bottom of the lake. Suckers, eh what!
 Captain Zubras helped himself to a three-game win and Captain Bill Maurutis and Charley Mikit all rolled identica. scores of 276. Now you know who will win the hog call- ing contest. Captain Bill's only com ment was Doctor Colney in one of his Sunday radio heath talks over WATR stated that everybody should observe this rule Keep your mouth closed and bowels open.' And Bill wonders what would happen if Zu- bras and Vailonis did just that. Why Bill!
 Just as matter of form we will say that Wally Pitcavage's power house electrocuted Pete Adams sex tet three games to none. Jenusaitis took two out of three from Dani- savage while Klassy Jonikas sextet did likewise with Al Francis chain gang.
 New Ruling Bowling will start promptly at 8:15 whetherf there is one or six men for every team and don't forget it takes three men to compose a team. In other words, team starting with less than three men forfeit the game unless the rest of the team are in the alleys feady to bowl before the sixth box. Do not handicap your team. be down early, get in . lpfactice game. if you wish. Get through with the league
