for St. Louis, but O'Mahony is defi- nitely booked for three fall match with George (Dazzler) Clark of Scotland who made whale of a fine impression on his last showing here which was his first, and his victory over Tommy Rae of Spring field while not popNar was well earned and convincing enough. All of which is very good reason to ex- pect that Danno and Georgie will put on bout well worth watching as O'Mahony is big and tough enough to take care of the rough house tactics of Clark, whose penchant for throwing things will be stopped short.
 Mercier Out
 Al Mercier of Springfield is re- ported laid up with an infection of the leg, which will postpone his showing here against Wally Dusek. The Sheik, bare-footed, bearded wrestler is to take Mercier's spot on the program. Pat (Roughhouse) Riley, the Texas Tornado, goes up against Boston Bill Doyle in 8 30- minute time limit bout while Dr. Fred Meyer, Jewish mailman of ability, tackles Marvin Westenberg in the opening go.

Italian Recreation Bowling Notes

Only yesterday the league started and now forty men are suffering from the pangs of regret that this week is the last. All are in the mak- ings of heroic readjustments on Thursday nights. The league as a unit deserves much credit for sharpening our mental and body building perceptions and permitted a clearer perspective on our daily duties. The secretary, president, rules committee and the alley man. agement wish to thank each and every bowler for his cooperation during our most successful season.
 What finale! Whata battle for first place!! California and Brown are in deadlock with Princeton and Dartmouth only one game be- hind. The results this last Thurs day night will tell the happy or sad story as the case may be.
 California, that small bunch of festered pimple will have the strong Harvard team as their opponents and I feel sympathetic enough to predict three games and the title for the fightingest bunch of sore heads; namely, Fioreavanti Doc" Ciminera, "Dimple" Petrucci, Sim pie" Sparano, Nipple Pettinicco and Passions Hour Piedmonte.
 That great team, Dartmouth. which created this unfortunate deadlock, deserves no credit what so ever for it's marvellous feat Of beating California three games last Thursday. Four seconds after the termination of the match not a California man could be found Five dozen lilies had been purchased for their benefit and went to waste. You big, bad wolf - Dartmouth. My Sin Ferraro and "Parkyarkar- kus" Cofrancesco still have ambi- tions of placing first, while Nero Pannone, "Jazz-BoW" DeLuca and Nightingale" Perazella are being kept under wraps.
 Yale has proven itself the laziest team in the league, awakening Tn the last round, but a little too late. "Scratchy" Piazza has recovered his old form of 39 years ago. "Pokey' Diana has induced humility and cut the other teams below his size. Clown" Carissimi has knocked everything and everybody except the knees of the chorus girls "Horsey" Santillo has ambitions of becoming mother-in-law. Cake Eater" Rivero still displays that magnetic personality he acquired when he was eight years old.
