Why Joey's Chene-Trombley Bowling Team Leads
Al-Star League Is Question but Answer Is Simple
BY HAROLD KAHL

Why Joey Paulus' Chene-T from
bly, Recreation leads the Greater
Detroit All-Star league by five and
one-half games with Al victories
in AZ games and is perched in thir-
teenth place In The Detroit Times
All-Star Classic despite a 96905
average with n victories and 80
defeats has many bowling fans
puzzled.
Yet the answer is simple once
you delve into the records, which
disclose the Chene-Trombly boys
victims of the breaks of the game
In winning those 30 games the
opposition shows the amazing
average of 1922 per game, which
is tall shooting anywhere.
Rivals have come up with 1861,
1884, 3142, five 3000s and a good
number of high 2900s when pitted
against Chene-Trombly. There also
have been 1142. 1929 and a total Of
10 games of 1000 tossed in.
All of which proves if the breaks
are not with a team il simply
doesn't get any place regardless of
what il shoots. All Chene-Trombly
can hope for is that they will
become a little hotter" than their
hot" rivals in the future.

less we like him. There's something about the
guy that amt right in large way.

thinks it is funny. "Is not that" she insists.
IN. Vernet is always the optimist. He does
not believe that any woman can forever resist
him, especially if she is hungry"

what Vernet needs is swift kick in the right

Joe sees the common sense in that, so he
picks the man up. Yvonne leads the way.
Me, I'm now plenty worried. Every once in
awhile take gander at Vernet. He's still
got pulse, but that's the most can hand
him.
'You gotta pick Algiers to prove you got

How do know you amt killed him?''
We walk up one street and down another.

points the thumb down. l nod From the
beginning, we both got profound distaste

which doesn't make him popular with Joe.
He starts right away asking us military
secrets, which we don't know the answer to-
Evidently he's got the idea all American
soldiers are dumb, or else that they will
shoot their mouths off quick. He talks to us

chansons. Then she disappears to some place

She explains that if the servant comes to the
door and sees Vernet. he might call the police
right away. But if we're inside the house,
we got chance to argue with the guy. So
we hunt through Vernet's pants and produce
some keys. We find the one that opens the
front door and we step inside.

Joe staring like couple of dopes.
A man appears on the balcony. He's tall
and slender, with bright yellow hair which
you can see under bandage. He stands there
in the half light, looking down at us. What
surprises US is the clothes he's wearing.

three O'Clock am.
The only trouble is = NJ. Vernet goes with
us. That gets Joe hot under the collar. It's
the wrong play at the right time. But Vernet
goes anyway.
We start down the narrow street OUTSIDE
La Mutt Rouge. It is deserted and lonely,
except for few Arabs whose white robes
really look white because it is nighttime.
Vernet starts ahead with Yvonne, and for
about three blocks Joe stands it. Then ne
