 McVerry's men bowled very poorly and without the aid of their an- chor man, a 1l7-average bowler, dropped three contests to the lowly Mazziemen. In the inaugural games several weeks back at Mattatuck alleys, 1t looked to everyone that Fathers pinsterS should push to the top of the standing and stay there. But Fr. McVerry and Mike Caputo were the big disappoint- ments in the defeat. Fr. McVerry is 8 good bowler but rushed down to the fowl line like a ferocious bull making an attack, hence no con- trol. As is the case of Mike Caralto, Fr. McVerry is an off and on bowl CT, 156 tonight, tomorrow a, Eh! What.
 Tom Twenty Years Ago" Ian- nicchi sent a telegram to the alleys that he could not participate in the league this season, much to his re- gret. Tom is the only bowler, or was, in the loop that has been pushing the balls down the alleys for the past 20 years. His absence from the floor will be greatly missed. Maybe because of his bowling or do I hear. from the aroma of Toms cigar.
 Bill Nardozzi, also a newcomer, showed powerful scores at the end of the evening. His consistent good bowling should help the cause of the Mazziemen. Mazzie also con- trol the rights of another fourth" man in Mike Ciarleglio. With the aid of Stolfi and "Toots" Russo, the Mazziemeu should be tough re- sistence to the rest of the teams. So let this be a warning.
 The Spider" is happy to take this opportunity to express or show his feeling for the Mazzle pilmen. Maz- gle, as he is only known. had had five years of poor showing in the league. Every season he seemed to get the worst team after the names were assembled and picked out to compose teams. We know that for once Mazzie received a "hreak" and hope he comes through. Thanks. Spig.

The Duke and Duchess ruling that they will not appear anywhere except for charities doesn't keep invitations to every thing from breakfast to dinner and dancing from pouring into Govern ment House by the score.
 One grand dowager--a British colonial version of n Helen Hok- inson club lady-attempted to lure the Duchess into her drawing room by deciding belatedly to charge ad- mission to Q party for which invi- tations already had been sent out. She simply telephoned around Nas- saul, glggling, You won't mind pay ing ten dollars to come to my party, It's for charity, you know" Then as soon as the last call had been made, an invitation was sent by messenger to Government House. The Windsors politely declined.

TROPIC GRANDEUR GOES A.BEGGING

GOES A.BEGGING
 There is no attraction in Nassau that can offer the slightest compc- tition to 8 glimpse--a mere fleeting glimpse-of the Duke and Duchess.
 When the Duchess shops in the quaint little stores along Bay Street people come running from all direc- tions to catch a glimpse of her. No matter where she and her husband appear in public, all attention is fo- cused on them. And real Nassau- yians-those who were born here or who have lived here so long that they think they were--are on edge about the entire situation.
 They hate having the Windsors steal the nmelight away from Nas- sau itself. They dislike having a side show take the spotlight away from what they consider to be the main attractions-the sunshine, the rainbow colored harbor, the tropical foliage, the water skiing, the air of peace and quiet which prevails-or did.
 "This was a perfect winter resort for many years before Ills Royal Highness and the Duchess came" q middle -aged business woman said. Don't give anyone any idea that there's no fun to be had down here unless one is on the preferred list of Government House.
 Everything was going along here swimmingly, If Q little sleepily, un- til the Windsors came to town. Nas- sal,-ir the Bahamas was pretty much the same as any other warm, sunny winter resort spot where an exclusive, local, residential society runs the show and tourists drop in to catch a glimpse of them doing It.. Life moved along, with deceptive serenity, In a paradisical atmosphere of lavish palm gardens. huge hotels and idyllic beaches all of which drew q merciful curtain over the impoverished districts in which live the malnourished black natives, who make up more than 30 per cent Of the population of all the islands of the Bahamas.
 Winter season after winter sea- son. nothing untoward happened in Nassau. It was a place to Get Away From It All.
 But all that was before Edward, Duke of Windsor, and his Amer ican Duchess arrived on the scene.
 At this point the atmosphere is

 IN THEIR STRIDE
 The Windsors seem to be bearing up well through 1t all.
 Devoting their time to improving the lot of an underprivileged sec ton of the native population thai has, like Topsy, "just growed" with out over-much governmental atten' ton in the past, the Windsors may in time find themselves in highest favor with dark-toned set that is not frequently mentioned on the so- ciety pages. h'J
 The one time King of England, sandy-haired and pleasant-faced, told me with surprising frankness that certain cooperative group of Nassau civic leaders were "stuf- fy in what they are pleased to call their staunchness.
 And the tall, slim, good. looking woman for whom Edward VIII re- linquished his throne, told me, in reference to her own charitable en- terprises: Nobody has thought much about them (the Bahaman natives). When I first mentioned their need for milk, was told not to bother, that they will not appre- ciate anything that is done for them anyway"
 WINDsoRS
 CAN TAKE IT
 The Windsors perform their pub. lie duties---handing out of prizes opening charity bazaars, presiding over war benefits, and such--with dignity and persuasive charm.
 Seemingly unaware of the furore they are causing and the fact that society is hl shameless pursuit ot a chance, only a little chance, to bask in the limelight which sur rounds them, the Windsors let Cap tain vyvyan Drury ward off visitors who inevitably arrive with Q letter of introduction from somebody who Is important in somebody's home town.
 Many recent visitors have been those who just must see for them selves whether the Duchess had her face lifted last month. She didn't. not only asked her, looked.
 The Windsors move about socially in a small circle of close friends, including the fabulously rich Wen rer- -Grens, the T. Markoe Robert sons of New York, the three com pletely charming aides and their wives who make up the official family" and mere handful of otf- CTS.
 The fact that they aren't more social, that the Duke consistently re- fuses to be Q "playboy governor" is as much of 6 headache to gov ernment officials as to society's hos tesSes.
