The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-29

After three interesting weeks of bowling, the men of this popular bowling league are settling down to tho business of winning games and prizes, plus the display of good workmanship and contagious com panionShip amongst good fellows always congregated at the Grand alleys,
 Tn review of these first three weeks, we recall the strike ball thrown by our very popular Mac ManKinl. His record that first night on the big ball opening the bowl ing year created almost Q parallel of his tax-ofEice record. Assisted by our ex-Mayor Pat Perriello, Mac challenged any of the two best bowlerS of the league to a match (pennieS) but his league-opening ball scared the bowlers off.
 i of the eight teams in the league, two seem to be more outstanding than the others. Colgate already has acquired itself the reputation of being the profanest, most blood- thirsty, noisest, worst behaved most-henpecked. most ornery gang of them all. "Hllda" Scarpati, the screwiest anchorman in existence has Q regular schedule he ahides by on Monday to get In trim for his night Of bowling. Getting out of bed ct 4:30 Q. fl., he wakes up ali of Baldwin street by yelling at the top of his lungs, the song Jumping Joe DiMaggio." After q half hour of this singing, he dons his track shoes and does 24 laps around the track at Hamilton park. At 6:0l he has breakfast, which in- cludes nine highballs, two dozen hard-boiled eggs, one slice of toast, washed down with quart of "Dago Red" topping 1t off with Q hard smack from his wife. At 600 he enters his place of labor, rolls up his sleeves, tightenS his belt, re- places his shoes, grrints II times, and lays down to sleep until ll.38, At 1i:30 he awakes, washes behind his ears and goes home to dinner (explained next week., gets greet ed by his wife with 0 rolling-pin. Finishes his dinner at i2.45 D. m, bids his sons and daughters good- bye and goes out the door on his way back to work, slips down the stairs, falling to the bottom with e bang. Slowly crawling down Bald win street, he arrives back at Sco- wills to resume his hard work (sleeping) until 4.3o. Arrives back home at 4:32 and after serious con- temptation realizes he is tired SO he decides to rest, but remembers it happens to be the cats night out so he sets about catching mice. This act consumes almost an hour after which he really does get tired. At 6:30 he slowly treads his way to the bowling alleys. Reaching there he spendt 2ia hours going through his mental contemplations of his tearn's attack on their opponents. When the boys begin to appear he interviews and consults with them as to how he can best convince his team that he is the best bowler in the league. He finishes the night by rolling mighty 250, much to the disgust of his teammates, and Embedding elation into the hearts of all 35 other members of tht league. Just a bit of advice, "Hilda' you're a bum: ask Pat BouSh or &su.s Piedmonte.
 
 Duke is the other team causing blood -pressures to scale to moun- tainous heights, hearts to crash and condolences and ambitions to hit a new low. Little does this team know that it was an idea of the other seven teams to build them up to an awful letdown. Dukes an- chorman, Lush" Rolli, drives his men absolutely nuts with his black board talks. his new victory vel which they never get to use. and his constant babbling in attempt- ing to teach them to Q better and safer technique of losing games. @Lushs also has a day of exten- slve training for his bowling night. 1f you were to follow him around Throughout Monday, you would find that he duplicates "Hilda" Scar rait to a '+T''. only in reverse, with the exception of munehiing on Uheeda Biscuits all day long. To mnke q long story short. his in- Auenee on his teammates Is re- Mlli&inn tn hiN awnulainn frosfi nuke
