BOWLING
. SCORES
PANGBoRN LEAGUE

The last night of bowling took
place way, way back in l943 and 1t
is rather hard to remember just
what went on We do remember
that there weren't many present
and that most Of us finished up for
the evening around $3.50. John Shil-
ling had a good night and those
good nights are so few and far be-
tween for him that we feel COM
PEELED to mention it. High single
game went to G. Mauck for his l42,
while Bill Nigh had his usual good
night to take the honors for high
set with 1863. The Conveyors and
the Rooms split the team honors
with 578Nand 1858, respectively. The
Free Bowlers were Dysert 402, Shil-
ling 403 and Secrist 405.

And while on the subject of Bowl
games, let me mention here that the
greatest game of them all was the
only one that was not broadcast /
refer of course TO the double-header
Arab Bowl game played in Oran,
North Africa, the first between the
Casablanca Ordnance 'Rab Chasers'
and the Oran "Termites" and the
second between the Army and the
Navy.
The show was produced by Zeke
Bananas" Bonura, the former big
league first baseman, now corpor-
al in the Army Special Service Di-
vision in North Africa. And what
a show Zeke put on. In addition to
the two games, he regaled the as
sembled crowd, (that included high
ranking officers, Arab Chieftians,
French officials, WACS, Red Cross
members and an overflow crowd of
soldiers and sailors) with camel
and burro races for WACs and Red
Cross girls and an Arab free-for-all
fight.
What an event that must have
been. I can just see Bonura tearing
up and down the sidelines, clapping
those huge paws of his and greeting
the players as they came off the field
with playful smack in the seat of
the pants Gust as he used to do in
his baseball days when the pitcher
would get sore at him for letting an
easy grounder slip through his fin
gers).
Oh yes! the Army beat the Navy
1917, with field goal in the last ten
seconds of play, while the "Rab
Chasers" beat the "Termites" 7-6 to
become the champions of the North
African League.

the horse. Although Charles told
numbers Of people about it, the
story was put down as a trumped-up
falsehood.
Il saw Rachel Cunningham in
July, 1841, at farm house near
Cresaptown. She and the little girl,
Fannie, were on a visit to Cresap-
town. Her age was then about 80
or 33. Fannie was about IA years
old then, small and childish for her
age.
&C Gorge Swearingen's avowel,
made after his fate was sealed, and
when he had no prospect of living
an hour beyond the time set for his
execution, must be taken for truth
and the confederation of his state
ment by the unfortunate Rachel
Cunningham, should likewise be re-
garded as truthful His avowal was
that all improper conduct between
him and Rachel ceased when her
unfortunate condition became
known, and was never renewed. He
had been strictly faithful to his
wife. The story that the girl was a
wanton and had destroyed the hap
pineSs of several families, had no
foundation. She had never done a
wrong act, except with Swearingen.
George Swearingen, although hung
as such, was not a murderer. He
would not die as he did, were he
tried now for killing his wife"
