which is a necessity in the opera
ton of so large a school. With

in welfare alone.
A volunteer group of boys and

 If the milkmen take one game from the oilers" the worst. they can finish is 8 tie for first place, Ibut Capt" Bannon and his newsboys are out to finish in front of lucky Barrett'S Hennessy banquets. That means the Irishmen are in for g tough night.
 Grade A" Cronin and his milk men look as though they are the champs again but as said before anything can happen.
 What 8 battle Is in store Monday night between Van Snyder, former Wilby High hero and Bobby Tracy of the hill Traceys. Eight pins or so separate these boys from high average and 8 bank note. Both men are good.
 The oilers, who still have chance If they pull out of their slump, have been on the skids since the news boys took them 6 few weeks ago Carl" Demenske, had better use his oil can on his gang, and # that model q Ford horn isn't rusty, he had better bring it along with hin, to pep up the evening. Too pad Carl experienced a little leg trouble to keep him out of the lineup for the last few weeks, but better luck next year Carl. The oilers took the flag two years ago and still want to be champs. Spare Tire" Demenske and "Oiler" Lyman have a little bet tc settle. It Is now too close to say whc will come through.
 The butchers headed by the fuzzy twins Elmer and Mitchell" have come away up in the last round talk ing eighteen of twenty four games rolled are the dark horse. They meet the Hennessey banquets who have won seven of the last twenty four Four points for the butchers, four for the oilers from the !nilkmerl and three for the Irisilmen from the newsboys, and the league will have a special roll off after o'clock Monday night.
 The bankers explained by "Jim" Fryer have a chance to pull ahead of the newsboys and banquets for fifth place.
 The Hennessy five will finish last but they made the league close the last two weeks taking six out of eight from the Irishmen and oilers.
 The banquet will be held April 27th. At the Knights of Columbus club with the Colo1luade again serv- ing their wonderful dinner.
 McVerry's game of 164 last week for high single, and a bank note so that he can take out his best girl, was a highlight of the season.
 A brass ring or silver plaque should be given to skipper" Bannon and "uncle" George Daly for their fine work in promoting the league during the season.
