Nash Team Gains Postal Pin Lead

By shutting out Carl Deeley's Dunkers three straight games this week, Captain Nash and his Never sweats sailed serene.y into the top spot of the Post Office bowling league just when Joe Deeley's De. stroyers had first place money half spent, forgetting that Every dog has his day., the worm turns and "e pluribus unum" as exemplified by genial Joe Palmer and company who rose in all their wrath from the dept of the league celalr to knock off the top team three times hand-running.
 Form Reversal
 High man on J. Deeley's team was the ieadoff, as the outfit rolled l,- 432 against Palrner's outfit but hit 1867 against the Tom Phalen Pe- truskas the previous week, with the result that the Nash entry is now two games up over J. Deeley's team. Handsome Harry Melvin was the big gun of the league again this week when his l49 and 375 were good for high single and high three with Phalen's team taking jingle and team honors. Next weeks finale will line up as follows:
 Nash vs Alexander.
 Melvin vs c. Deeley.
 Phalen vs Palmer.
 J. Deeley vs Corden.
