THREE DIVISIONS
A large number of the top
notch teams in the city and sew
eral from the county are entered
in the three-division, 100 per-
cent handicap competition at the
South Gratiot site. Divisions in
the five-man event are: Class A,
$50 and above; Class b, $50 to
$50, and Glass c, TAO and below.
Veteran followers of the pin
game have predicted that 1t will
take some $50 pins over average
to win the team event, probably
$50 sticks above average in the
doubles and about the same num-
Der in the singles. This would
mean that a 825 average team
in the five-man events, for ex-
ample, would have to hit three
900 games Tor average 900) to
have q look-in on the first place
prize money.

Play in the second round of
the city cage league will get un-
der way tonight, with all teams
repeating against the rivals they
met in their December opener.
For the most part, the games
are expected to follow the form
established in the first round,
with possible exception of the
Paganetti Lumber-Business Men
clash.
Although knocked off by the
undefeated, league-leading Tim
berjacks by a 1913 score in the
first game, the rangy Business
Men are expected to cause the
favorites plenty of trouble to-
night in the meeting, the third
tilt of the card. The game will
pitt four of the loops leading
scorers against one another. The
two Bobcean brothers, Walter
and Bob, are among the top
shots Of the league for the Bus
mess five and will be cunning
against Ralph Soenen and
Johnny Volkenant, the Pagan
anetti pair who top the circuit
scoring.
CLEANERS VS.. GRAY'S
In the opener, the Super
Cleaners-in third place - are
heavily favored over Gray's
while the Merchants hold a SIM
liar position against the NC
A.C. in the finale of the evening.
The Brown Bombers, who got
off to q good start against the
Tigers in the first round, may
find it tougher shedding in to-
nights game and the clash is
rated as a virtual tossup.
First game of the card, which
Is held at the Mount Clemens
high gym, is at ITO.
