been vieing for popular acclaim
among local bowling addicts. How
ever, the l2-club Wolverine league
remains as the most popular cir
cult in the city.
The main reason for the Sus-
tanned interest in the Wolverine
keglers iSs the closeness Of the
league race. Only seven full games
separate the leading Psrkham
Cleaners from the ninth-place
Motor City Elks Jr. Ave.
This closeness Of play was en-
phasized Friday night as 81 bowl
ers rolled games of better than
200 pins. Over one half of the

and only one pin behind Blackman
for the high single game total, as
he registered games Of 20l -230-l66

Buddy" Baugh was mainly re-
sponsible for keeping Parkham out
Of a tie with Hollywood for frst
place, as he slammed out three
game total of 588, with games Of
.58-22l 200.
Out at the Forest Club alleys the
Invaders continued to dominate the
House league as they crushed
ninth-place Mark Twain by go
pins with the aid of a 54-pin spot.
Cocktail Lounge, resting in eighth
place in the standings, pulled of
the surprise of the night as they
sunk second-place Powell johnson
with three-game sweep. 1882 pins
to 2449. The Lounge boys were
aided by $50 pin spot.
c. Radford paced the third place
Bowl-O-Drome Ave in clean
sweep over Roller Rink with games
Of 254-l7l-2l4, a $50 series.

manned atop the Forest Womens

over Donzella SCOTS team. Scott

the league, however, with a 1877
game in a 502 series.
