 The Production Powerhouse, with their sparkplug Bryan missing, were easy victims for Gus Riehrs reju- venated Purchasing array, losing 8 points. With Traffic Manager Vick- cry routing his team past all fred lights, ably assisted by Herb "Ace" Pinter, all was serene for this week at least.
 The Accounting "Swedes" con- tinued on the trail of the Supplies by winning three from the Sales team, all tangled up in priorities and red tape, and failed to unravel in time to do the many good. It is said Capt. Fox has sent out an sos. for John Dumser and Matt Houston, the big priority men, as a last resort to stop his teams downward plunge.
 The hero of the Accounting team is none other than Boots" Palmer who for the second week in row took the weekly high single award. We believe the ceret of Boots" suc- cess lies in the fact that with the Malayan peninsula overrun, and the accute shortage of rubber in this country, it is no longer pos- sible for his nemesis1 Charlie Parks, to present him with the oversize rubbers that have proved his down. fall in the past. We hereby go on record to indorse any congressman for election who will do all in his power to oust Jesse Jones for not having developed his synthetic rub Der program to a point where our league would be protected from these attacks by Boots.
 The Supplies continued to in- crease their lead over the rest of the league by winning 4 from the Treasurers, although they just man. aged to come through in the second game, winning by one pin.
 This weeks feature will be the Supplies vs. the third-place Pro- duction team, who with Bryson back in the lineup and Ira Cupid" etbroth regaining his form, expect to take fall out of the leaders.
 However, Tim Nolan has been using the best of garg1es all week and pronounces his throat in such condition he will be able to out sing, out-harmonize. or out-shout anything the opposition has to of- fer with the possible exception of Jack Grady. Not much has been heard from Jack since his exile to the wilds of the rolling mill, but 'tis said by diligent training and excellent hours, he is back in the form that was his back in his Wilby high and Hopeville days, and the neighborhood gang Is once more calling him Flash. He hadn't planned to come out at retirement until St. Patricks day. but will probably do so tonight in order to upset his pal Timmie.
 Once again 1t is necessary for us to say goodbye and to wish the best of luck to two of our old time bowlers, Charlie Flash Patterson and Bob Smith, who are leaving us to take up new and more re- sponsible positions in our organiza- ton in Cleveland. Both Bob and Charlie have put in much of their time in the past in order the rest of us could enjoy the many excel lent banquets we have had and while they have been subjected to a lot of good-natured ribbing on the alleys, have taken 1t in the humor in which it was given and have been known, on occasions, to hand 1t back with interest.
 The membership of the league takes this opportunity to wish them both the best of luck in their new ventures and only hope the day will come when they will be back again and old rivalries can be resumed.
