BOWLING
With ROD THOMAS

A very happy bowler was
Morris Smilen Of the Hebrew
Major League at Silver Spring
after shooting 1853, 1873 and l57
for a set of 453 with Team No.
10. The 453 was a season record
for this lively league which
sports a lot of good bowlers.
But Smilen's JOY suddenly was
tempered. Somebody reminded
him that he wasn't entered in
the Bowlers Victory Legion
tournament, which costs only a
dollar.
Smilen might have parlayed a
buck into 5000. In the BVL
event. for which he rated a ST.
pin handicap, he would have
crossed $40. a score calculated
to win first prize.
With one more chance to
enter. what with the tourna-
ment ending Monday. Smilen
gave. it a try. He shot 3l9.

the towns hottest bowlers at
present, will head a field Of %

which Col. Drew later received
a compassionate transfer, Mrs.
Drew told Vicky she had a brain
tumol, to prevent her first hear
ing the word as a terrifying one
