 We are keeping our promise to give out the averages which will be used up to and including the games to be rolled January 13, 1889. As a whole, these averages are higher than we have ever recorded in past years and clearly indicate that these bowlers are having their best year.
 Frank Byrnes of the Welfarers and Fred Drummond of Construc- tion "A" are in tie for first place with high individual average honors of IA each, but are closely pressed by "Bus" Wallace of the Meter Readers with 112.
 For high scoring honors Harry Bergen is in the lead for individual high three games with AIS with Harry Huey a close second with 40. The Harry's sure have it in this department. Bus" Wallace leads all for high individual single with score of 150, but Harry Bergen is only one pin behind with 1858.
