Loop Notes

Bowling editorial. Your cor
respondent was misled into think
ing when this league was formed
that not many top-notchers would
be "ringed' into the league lineup.
But to our dismay, 10 and behold,
many teammates are now belly
aching that they are withdrawing,
and that, gentlemen Of the allyes,
spells DOOM In any league. Tor
example, Everybody's Market has
one Of the strongest and most pro-
fesisonal lineup our orbs have ever
witnessed. If you are a follow-upper
of the box scores well, then, the
black and white marks are judges
Of themselves. Personally, we do not
feel that the officers Of the league
are responsible for this act and we
do not hold them to that effect.
Your rowing reporter feels 1t just the
so-callde "wisies" that are after the
big stakes, that rae awarded at the
end Of the year. II this is sports
manship, then I'm sorry for the
slam-bang editorial. Let's clean up
the commercial league and keep the
boys intact and remove the pros
from the lineup and we'll have the
boys smiling cheerful once againl
