County Spelling Contests.

About $50 rural champions from 95
rural schools took part in the eight
sectional rural spelling contests dur
ing the past two weeks. Only seven
Pine county rural schools failed to
take any active part in sectional
spelling and play day contests this
year. Last year all but eight rural
schools were represented. Consider
ing roads, weather, etc., this is very
excellent representation. Sections =,
4. 5, Z and 8 had perfect representa-
ton this year.
At the final county spelling contest
held at Pine City Saturday, June 5,
the two best in the upper grades divi-
sion of each of the eight rural sec
tions and also the best speller from
each of the nine graded schools were
eligible and invited to take part. The
following are the five winners. The
first and second place winners are
eligible to represent Pine county at

BALANCED RatiOns."
Most of these spelling winners also
had important parts in play day con-
tests on strong teams. There seems
to be high correlation between good
scholarship and successfully organ
lied clean play and games. For eX-
ample Ardys Anderson, district 81,
this year not only won honors in the
sectional and the county spelling COLI
tests, and both the sectional and the
county declamatory contests, but also
had part on strong volleyball
team, and also won a total of four in
dividual prize ribbons at the Sturgeon
Lake sectional play day last week.
She also expects to be one of the IT'S
or 200 rural graduates at the county
graduation exercises in July. Last
year Wallace A. Nelson from Clint,
district IA, had been a member of
the county championship diamondbail
team for two years and he was first
in the state examinations among over
$50 eighth graders. Balancing the
educational "ratiOnS' also helps pu-
pills to attain each and every one Of
the seven cardinal aims in education.

Chase Company Bo10ling Notes

Extensive plans are under way to seat the large crowd that is ex- pected to witness the Masked Mar. vel bowling exhibition which this league is putting on for its mem- bers Friday night. The Masked Marvel will have as his rival none other than Ducky Richmond who was picked from host of qualifiers. Don't forget the hour, 9 o'clock, Friday night at the Chase alleys.
 Now that all the bowl games are ger, including the Sugar bow, the Orange boy, Rose bowl and others, all the bowlers are setting their mind on this great indoor game called duck-pin bowling, and every night hundreds of former large maple trees, now duck pins, are be- in; spilled by the ever increasing performers of the game. Alleys are at q premium, leagues are in ses- sion every where. They are young and old alike and when we say ''old" there is no age limit for the game. ", often wonder if someone sat down and added up the total num- Der of pins spilled in this city in lone week what he would get for a. anGwer. Your guess is as good as the next fellows but we bet you'd have big total.
 Remember Barney Gagain of the Waterville Gagains, the lone survivor of the lure to bow. Well he's back a2ain in this league after 8 few months layoff, bowling with Marty M!ller's team Did you know that Eppy Gagain hasn't thrown 8 ball this year.
 The last place Jay'vees having won only five games to date, are looking forward to bow 8 girls team, who they think might have a chance against Coach Sheriff Lallier, who has been missing from the team for the last two weeks, be- ing out trying to sign up girls team that the Jay'vees might have chance against.
 Eddie Coughlin of the office team had a good night last week, hav- ing scores of 105, 109, 131 for 345 total.
 Nicky White, who was the lone Brass City bowler to win prize in the sweepstakes. has been re- ceiving congratulations from his many friends in this league for his good work. Nicky by the way wore Chase shirts which he said he con- sidered his lucky omen.
 Frank Coleman, one of last years Garage pinsters, was pressed into service in place of Frank Horrigan whose plans made 1t impossible to be on hand. Coleman. southpaw bowler, gave good account of him. self.
 The individual averages will be passed out to the bowlers next week.

St. Lucy Holy Name Bowling
 League

We have reached the halfway mark in our bowling league with the zammas still setting the pace. However, to the writer 1t seems that their position is a perilous one. Due to the up and coming Zaras who's shooting to show their pre- season form.
 Captain A. Mazzie of the Rubens had to be revived with smelting salts as result of his team win ming two games in one night which broke their losing streak of 13 straight. The victims being none other than his brother, Captain F. Mazzie of the Asirs. Frank tried hard to stave off defeat with three well rolled games but his anchor man, Red" Mucci, showed his best form during his practice games. (Why practice so much RedO The Eferos are still continuing their win ming ways since the addition of Joe Mazzie whose 343 was big factor in taking two games from the Ebrons who seem to be heading for the cellar along with Al Carpenters average. Don't worry 50 much about your average Carp).
 If bowling form means lot then Winnie Stolf should be bowling in the national sweepstakes.
 "Gabe" Sciarra the Indian chief of the Rubens, was letting out war w,iS Anv~g ae H1l~ %navrn x,ao y.iNtvno +n victory. "Hennie" Minicucci, the portsider, gazes at the ceiling before his delivery. (Are you calling the angels "Hennie"?)
 Doc" Rosa has been missing for the past two weeks due to illness. The boys wish you speedy recov- cry. Jimmy Devito, the master plumber of the league, asked the writer why his name never appears in this column. q didn't think that bowling 76 was anything but good publicity. Keep plugging Jimmy. Rudy Mazzie asked me as spe- cial favor to make the following an- nouncement which pertains to none other than Jo-Jo Sumnla. The New Haven express will be back in the lineup after an absence of two weeks and feels that Jo-Jo wil lstart fret ting about his teams standing whose lead is eslowly but surely be- ing cut down.
 The pin boys are complaining to Brownie" about 8 glare coming from the upper end of the alleys which is caused by bald headed bowler. Better keep your hat or Dan" Summa.
 Don't fret boys you will all get your name in this column but that's not saying how. That's all there is, there just ain't no more.

This leagues race as shown above is as close as any other league of It's kind, that operates without the handicap system. We find three teams tied for first place, while the sixth team is but four games out of first AS the leagues rules T for two and half round season, with the last six teams start ir3 from scratch for a consolation prize, while the top six continue along for the last five weeks for tn, championship. With this in mind many changes are looked for among the first six six teams before the curtain is rung down on this years s activities.
 We welcome the return to our ranks of Johnny McNamara who was with the Jay'vees last week. Johnny some years ago was the mainStay of the old Chase Metal Works league. We saw Johnny Mon- day morning getting around with the aid of a cane.
 One of of our members who rec gently was appointed a supernumery of the police force, Joe Hendricks. won the weekly kicker prize with a score of 270.
 This league wishes to have all its bowlers all dressed up next Friday night, 50 they can have their pic- lures taken
 Our good friends, the American Brass Foremen's association. have recently opened their new club rooms on Bank street, where they .haxe six new bowling alleys and a recrea- ton hall. They have showed fine Judgment in securing Bill Stokes as manager of this building. Bill is regarded as knowing everything that is to be known when referring to bowling and he will certainly be great success in his new position And in closing we also wish the association a successful season.

Lux League
 LiSpS

Johnny Lanese was the goat at last nights league games at the Grand bowling alleys. Leo Girard informs me that Johnny had con- versation with a lassie and that was the reason he bowled far below par. Johnny had something on his mind and the boys knew what 1t was, Do you still love me, Johnny?"
 OBITUARY-Phil Pelletier and Jimmy OLoughlin joined my moth- er-in-law (out-laws) in chasing me with pots and pans. I may not be able to attend my own funeral but I can write my own obituary.
 Eddy Pelletier and Jimmy O'Loughlin slipped out for few minutes without saying a word. When they came back the beer was still on their lips.
 Johnny Feeley slides half way down the alley before he lets go of the ball.
 Jimmy OLoughlin has an invis- ible curve. The boys have been try ing to see 1t for many nights.
 Eddy Pelletier has control on the ball when he loses control of his temper.
 Leo Girard was talking to himself all night. He couldn't get Q spare in three games. Bowling your reg ular game, LeoJ
 Armand Desjardin and Clovis are the hurry" bowlers. They hate to keep the girls waiting.
 Johnny Lanese doesn't bowl a good game but he certainly can talk one.
 Bill Colangelo can't get onto his usual stride. That goes for Wee Willie King and Jimmy OLoughlin.
 I've been informed that few girls were about to attend the games but the publicity scared them away, Make 1t date for next week, Margy. Bring the girl friends.

 Dan Sfroza, diminutive forward of the Cadets netted the irons seven times to take high honors for the night while Geary, husky center, was the Alumnae chief threat. The Cadets could not appear to get go- ing the first half as their shots were falling short but fast passing and cutting plus accurate shooting en- abled them to pull out in front, never to be headed for the remain der of the contest.
