Vitamen Roll To TOP
Burke, MaffaY Star

The Vitamen team dumped Cor
ner Delicatessen from its long-held
top perch on the Greenbelt Mems
Bowling League ladder last Tues
day. A month of good, steady pin
smacking placed the Vita-men on
top. Burke and Captain John
Maffay were the leading bumpers
during this spree.
The combination of games that
produced the top-fight change was
the Vita-boys and two wins while
the tail-end Barons wallopped Les
ter Sanders Corner Delicatessen
twice.
Sanders Corner Del are quite
apt to come bounding back when
Lou Johnson, immobilized by a
grippe attack, gets back into ac-
tion. Look out Vita-lads!
AL Bowman's game of 1873 was

Timmons, after watching the Big

bumped down total of 372 pins
to shade Paul Milasi's $40 set.
