termined nothing shall come be-

will be in Just few months now.
Do you. Miss Grey. see any rea-
son why we should not be mar

The only thing that il bothering
me is the fact that my fianee's two
daughters seem to resent me. |

I am not wrong in believing
that the difference in our ages will

Grey? Please let me have your
advice. DISTRESSED.
Dear Distressed: think II
would he a much better idea II
you would forget about this
man and make up your mind 10
hang on TO your girlhood for a
while. and 20 In for q lot OF
good wholesome fun with other
boys and girls of your own age.
You viii never be sorry, l feel
sure.
You say that your friends
two daughters resent you. How
does his former wife feel about
you: She can cause you much
unhappiness, you know. For in
stance, II you marry this man
and he has TO pay alimony, You
are likely to have TO 60 without
. lot Of things you want and
need 30 that your husband can
pay for the keep OF his first
family.
OF course. there Ia the slight
possibility that you would be
happy. The two daughters may
get over their resentment and
their mother might turn out TO
be much more understanding
than might be expected. How
ever, 1 should say that your
chances for complete happiness
would be rather slim. The odds
are against you. You would he

you could fall In love with some
one nearer your own age.
Dear Miss Grey: We were for

ness from now on and Bill Cor mans gang didn't let us down, win- ming two games from our circuits twin leader. The Eagles lost the first game by the slim margin of two pins. Incidentally there was no gallery antics by Jack Coughlin.
 Despite the fact that the Blues have dropped 10 out of their last 12 games. they are only three games out of first place.
 There are only two more rounds to go and not three as we informed you readers in last weeks column. That means 30 games to go and that in tu.gl means that every team has a good chance of coming through.
 Ralph Bradley likes his share of the headlines and we don't mean MT. Bradley is conceited. His work in the sports field warrants him plenty of attention of late. Ralph has been pacing the Westside Speed boys in their State basketball league encounters and leading the Patriotic league bowlers with a fine average of l09. By the way, ten members have reached the 100 average mark for the first three rounds of the season.
 Captain Bill Christie will put him. self in the anchor spot tonight in an attempt to whip the Blues into a winning streak. We hope 1t works winning streak. We hope 1t works. Bill. as you won't let us forget what we did in the anchor spot last week.
 Mike Marchrelli, failed to showup last week. He wa sto bowl with the Stars against the Eagles. We have It from reliable source that Jackie Coughlin of the Eagles gave Mike a pass to the theater on Phoenix avenue. You sure fell for that one, Mike.
 The leading match on to-night's slate finds the leading Stars and the Blues getting together. The Blues must win at least two tonight to merit a chance to yeta win out in the flag race. Reds and Whites and Eagles and Stripes round out the program.

The results of last weeks bowling turned the hairs of some of the leading teams very gray.

The results showed the Tigers losing two games to the Pir- ates, the second place, Yankees dropped three games to the Bawl- ing Braves the league leading cry babies, with Denny McGrath lead- ing the parade of tears; the As trounced the Giants two games and the lowly Cubs wound up with a twin victory over the sensational Red Sox Our Reporter was able to find out what some of the boys rec eived for Christmas and also some of the New Year Resolutions they made, so here they go. Dennis "Gahootie McGrath-An electric train with no gas connec- tions.

Happy New Year To All!

A real thriller was the match be- tween the District Engineers and Sales B with the Engineers taking three points. All games were very close but the great tonsil work of Stake Driver Wimpy Beardslee and Extenion's Walt Nelson ably aided and abetted by Frank Dwyer had great bearing on the outcome.
 Ray Ahearn has finally landed his servicemen in first p1ace but Bomb CT Humphries' MastodonS made it great fight. Two of Rays team landed weekly prizes as Johnnie Beck's 362 toko the high individual three strings while Skiddo Dum- schott's 346 landed him the kicker.
 Bob Lagerquist was in 8 tight spot. He rolled with the Meter Readers against his associates in the Public Relations department. To make it worse his team lost and he has to live with the victors.

 Now that all the holidays are over for awhile our news reporting should be more plentiful. Between helping, out Santa Claus and toss- ing 1946 out the window we have had tough time trying to get to- gether our news items. We have put our news hawks on the scent so we expect to have bigger and better items during 1941.
 We do know that Bill Grover ST. is still waiting for the lakes to freeze over in order to go fishing through the ice. We never heard of any big ones Bill caught but our Bunker Hill commentator states that he at least caught cold.
