edge on Bob Nelson's Sales A and
pulled three points out of the bag.
Ben Mellor insists that the strain
of having two pictures taken of HIM

for Bob and he weakened in the
tight spots.
Other prize winners for the week

out, the boys hope to do better this

Newcomers Make Debut

One the hrSt alleys downstairs
Meter B took over Sales B for three
points in a good match. We noticed
our old friend Jim Kiely was back
on the firing line and Freddie VAL
eric was in the Metermen's camp
aagin.
Moving over we found the Con-
struction Juniors headed by Nick
Reno giving the strong Meter Read
ers a going over The juniors have
three newcomers in Harry Christie
lini, Bill Grover, Jr. and Jennie
Daversa.
Next, we saw Harry Huey's Ser
vicemen in action with George Bar
nes' operators. Both teams showed
the effects of the long layoff but
the Huey men had just enough to
outlast their opponents and take
four points.
On the next alleys we found a
real match between Bill Leroy's
Storeroom bunch and Russ Hicock's
Production Engineers. An even break
was the answer here, two points
each.
We moved over to the last alleys
and, as Charlie Mccarthy would say,
Harry Owens Line B team was
moving down poor old Welfare. We
were pleased to find old timer Pete
Lewis back to the wars and see Kurt
Richter, Carl Reinhard and Joe
Gervais in the ranks.
Where Some of The Prizes Landed
Going upstairs, we looked over the
Sales Engineers and Garage fora
while. The Engineers were to good
and took three points but George
Beckley and Joe May of the losers
had consolation in taking the high
single and high tire string prizes.
We saw more new faces here in the
persons of Phil Dean, Charlie Byron,
Ted Mcdonald and Jerry Harrington.
All was Joy in the camp of the
Senior Linemen on the next alley
for they took their ancient rivals,
the District Engineers, into camp
for three points. Yes, and the line
men took the high team prize for
the week to add to their joy.

start when Meter A took three points

BY OMAR


Starting its tenth season, this
grand old league got off in great
fashion, featuring close games and
fine scores. Ninety-nine present out
of a hundred bowlers gives an idea
of the spirit of the league. This is
what you call attendance.
Without doubt the bowling COM
isiittee has done another fine job.
To make the competition keen they
have placed before the bowlers an
attractive list of both weekly and
seasons prizes. On this committee
We find Tom Flanagan, chairman;
Bob Nelson, Pack Roberts, Bonnie
Goldstein, Anthony Colucci, George
Brown and Bill Schandelmaier. Then
we have the two work horses of the
league, Ted Bly, as treasurer and Ole
Martel, secretary.
It was an almost unanimous vote
of the bowlers which selected Fri
day as the bowling night and as to
the popularity OF the choice-well
the attendance gives the answer.
Well get on with the results of
the matches and no doubt this is
what everyone IS interested in. Many
of the boys admitted that they
hadn't touched ball since last
last season. Many of the whips were
crcaky.
