 In the second game with his team 20 pins down, Charley Keeley. the anchor man, came through with 8 strike and a spare to tie up the game, and in the play off, his team won the last game thus getting credit for the last two games.
 All honors went to Ed FitZ- gerald's outfit for it took high team with 1902 and high game with 543.
 Guess we'll have to change Charley "One Ball' Keeley's monic- ker as he made every ball count to take high single with 149 and high three with 1855.
