 Tomorrow nights games will find the teams starting on new averages for the next four weeks of bowling. In the majority of cases the aver ages have taken jump due to the high scores which have been rolled the past few weeks. In reality this is what we call the levelling stage and from now on we do not look for much variation in the averages of the teams.
 We think the outstanding match last week was the one between the then leaders Sales B and their wor- thy cohorts the Meter Readers. Champing at the bit before game time the Statesmen were all nerved up to get going and were perturbed when the mtr boys nonchalantly Strolld on the alleys five minutes late. To impress on the Readers what in their opinion was 8 token of supremacy each Salesman -'ore a blue ribbon on his left arm. Were the Readers awed? Yeh. Just like the marines when they wiped up Belleau Woods with the Prussian Guard. Why rub it in by going into the sordid details of the match. Did you ever watch a butcher making beefsteak into hamburger-well that is just what the Readers did to dear old Sales B for four points. And by such wide margin Messrs. Mellor, Poor, Darroch, Mcintyre and Bob Nelson slipped into the Leavenworth Street establishment by way of the side door the next morning. Has anyone got some black ribbons for the Sales boys this week?
 As a result of this massacre those ever dangerous Collectors went in- to the lead by jolting Test for three points. However, watch Test from now on for they have Ray ONeil back in the harness.
 What An Upset
 With that old war horse Louie Scappini leading the way, the Sales Department had some consolation when their junior varsity showing the reversal of form and power which we have been preaching about mauled Jack Murphy's Ser vicemen for four points. Foxy Jack did his share but the rest of his team rolled as though they had handcuffs on. Wait till Whooey's Brooklyn friends see that score.
 The mystery team of l1 league, Welfare refused to be thrown to the wolves and came through with four from Production which shovd them higher in the standing. Well fares head rooter Chairman Tom Flanagan still thinks there is a joker in the pack and refused to back them as he says, Just when think they are hot, sure enough they'll lead with their deuce" What a-Pinner Art Bray is going into a Euddle with Tom on some new moves-for Art.
 The District Engineers are all smiles for they won another match. This time it was the hard luck team of the league that fell before them. Yes we mean Meter A. Cheer up, Johnnie for Wonder Man Gerillo will still pull you through.
 Bill Leroy's Storemen continued their winning ways by taking three points from George Barnes Oper- ators. Was that Jack Sheron we saw warming up on one of the alleys? We wonder if he is getting in shape in case of an emergency. How did you feel next day, Jack? Our old friend Martin Brundage can fix you up for some liniment which they say is used with success out in Pros pect, if the kinks don't come out soon.
 With Fred Drummond back in form and hitting them Himself for S47, Howard Humphries' builders tucked four points away from Dick Hyland and company and up they jumped in the standing. Dick has ordered diet of raw meat for Chubby Charlie Baxter to see if he will go wild simply wild. Pass the mustard, please.
 Tn a close match all the way George Backley,s Generals noSed put Ray Mills Engineers for three points. It was sparkler for George Io take tough one for Ray to nOp. We were glad to see Paul At wood in the league gain.
