Borrow Sends Cong grotuIutions

St. Louis, Oct. I2-(UP)-The cheering in the Yankee dressir1e room after the world series was so loud that Secretary Charles Mc- Manus had tough time trying to put across the congratulations of Ed Barrow, president of the world champions, to his team.
 A message, phoned to McN6anus after the Yankees regained the crown from the St. Louis Cardinals, said:
 'To Manager Mccarthy and all the Yankee players:
 The members of this years Yankees, including the manager, coaches. the old-timers and espe- cially and particularly the new corners who are completing their first world series, have my sincerest congratulations for the splendid work they have done. Tn whining the 10th world series for the club you have shown a spirit and deter imitation that reflects the highest credit upon players and manager alike. Although cannot be with you. I want you to know I am just ly proud of the Yankees"
 McManus did his best to deliver the message, but the din was such that probably few knew that Bar row had sent his best wishes.

HARMON'S FAR- DOWNS PAGING
 ELKS PIN LOOP

Christy HarnoH's Fardowns from the wilds of Washington Hill has the fairly unusual honor of leading the Elks 1e43 bowling league with out losing a point in the first two weeks of competition, having won all six games rolled and total pin. fall on both occasions. Such is the situation as Harmon's hypnotized alleydenters own an 8-0 record ct the top of the American League; Luigi Scigliano's Lumbermen fol- lowing close behind as National League leaders with Q 7-1 rating, matched by Jim Courtney's Beef steaks in the American division.
 Individually, Johnny DiAgostino, with 36O ofilcially holds high three strings for the young season to date; with Archie Pelletier's l36 be. ing high single; but those figures have already ben relegated to the runner-up department; because of Q bit of inspired rolling by one J. Algonquin Cluney of the Collins team; who carved out three strings of 36S Monday night of this week; including Q high single of 161 in his second game. Collins was a Bel win- ner over Herman Lux and company last night.
 Captain Joe Mulville's Reindeers, defending league champs, are roll ing but 800; tied for fourth place with Q 4.4 rating.
