Paulie uncorked games Of ISL,

by Eddie Keith at the Lucky
Strike.
And along with Paulie went his
Arcadia teammates to register

of the season, when Andy Glee-
son and Ed Cleary shot respective
sets of 399 and 382 that turned
Convention Hall back for the odd
game win with team games Of
GAO, 651, 656. The hallmen, rolling
1876, one of their best team sets
Of the season, annexed the open
ing tilt with 656, but were victims
