not later than May rs. 1t is plan
ned that the summer league play
be carried out much the same as
the Spring Series with two lea
CUES of ten teams each compet-
ing. There will be several new
innovations in the summer play
as the handicap methods viii be
changed and the foul line rule
enforced more strongly. AT the
completion of the summer series
there will be another playoff be-
tween the two leagues to deter
mine the Summer City Cham
pions. This play is expected to
be as holly contested as the se
ries that has just ended and IL
previous summers r any in
dication it will be about the hot
test series ever played. The new
fans are expected to be installed
in the alley at an early date and
all bowlers are hoping that they
will cool things off a little. With
the fans in place there should be
no lull in the crowds at the al
leys.
Ladies Bowling Leagues
The Powder Puff" league got
off to its start this week on the
local alleys with tremendous
crowds OF spectators on hand. AT
ter hearing of the crowds in at
tendance at the girls matches
we decided to Investigate just
what the attraction was. The
answer was evident on entering
the alleys-"shorts." These gals
bowling in their shorts are
enough reason to fill the alleys
to capacity with gaping males
and after one has become accus-
TONED to the display of feminine
pulchitrude their bowling is
quite good also. We saw a young
lady make the hardest kind of
a strike the other night, the
kind where the ball gets in the
three six pocket. We urge all
bowlers to make a trip out to
the alleys to watch the local las
sizes show how the game is play
ed. The gals can also show you
how to make high scores. OF
course, we warn that the excite
ment shown by the young ladies
is terrific and the spectator had
better have his nerves steeled
because the interest is contage-
GUS.
Penny Fraley, the President of
the Ladies Bowling Association,
says that the "Powder-Puffs" are
having a few arguments over the
handicap system but any league
member of the mems association
can assure Penny that the ladies'
are not unique in that respect
as about ninety percent of the
grumpling in mems association
concerns handicaps. Penny and
her associates will get it all
Strengthened in due time. Pennf,
Julliette Harper, and Ruby Hum
ter are our picks to be in the
high score bracket when the lea
que play gets underway. We will
be anxious to see how close our
predictions are The girls plan
TO stretch their league series in
to a ten-week schedule with each
team meeting each other twice
in bowling combat. Maybe this
IL the best answer 10 the com
plant that "the moon Just
wasn't right or I'VE can't win
under the sign of Capricorn when
our players are all Cancers" or
something of the like. These gals
might not be following the re-
Communications of the American
Bowling Congress to the letter
but you can bet that they are
going to have one swell series
of league play. We say more pow
er to them because the league
play is all in fun and you might
as well enjoy it.
Next Monday night, May 20,
the Peele-W Williams girls meet
the team from Franks Place to
open the second week of play.
On Tuesday night Kihyet's tangle
with D~oescher's Radio Shop.
Completing the week, Ezell's
girls will meet Rosenblum's on
Wednesday night.
Pot Fourri
We noticed that some of the
balls that were ordered when
Frank Benkovie was here a few
weeks ago have finally arrived.
We have also noticed that scores
are improving for those that have
bought their own balls. One of
these enw ball owners. Bob Fox,
used his to good advantage in
the league playoff while playing
for the winning Industrial I'm
gineers. Bob's average went UP
several points when he reeeiv-
ed his new ball but he certainly
looked sick when he bowled an
sc in n game against PeeIe-
Williams in the finals of the City
Tournament.
