Henry Lehman, jr.. Of the
Guys and Dolls Mixed League,
whose wife, Nita, enveigled him
into bowling, became the skip

A wave of excitement spread
through the vast plant when
word went out that Lehman
had q chance. Before jammed

with a sweeping hook on his
final shot.

Lehman crossed the head pin,
but for the clinching strike he

So ah
The most delightfully."- sur
prised bowler this reporter can
remember was Mrs. Alice Sewell
of Kenwood in the Women'S
Country Club League when she
received a special trophy at
the leagues awards luncheon
at Columbia. It was for the
highest game - 1856 - ever
rolled at Bethesda Bowling
Center by a woman. The gift
of Proprietor Pat Troiano, it
was engraved with the box
by-box tally Of Mrs. Sewell's
whopper, which was begun with
five consecutive strikes. The
lady was so excited she forgot
the number Of the cloud on
which she was riding.
DOWN TEN PIN LANE
One of the reasons the Ten
Pin Coliseum team holds a
well nigh incredible lead of
l61a games in the Metropolitan
Major Travelling League Is the
improvement this season of
Mercedes Flores. Last season
Miss Flores averaged in the
160s. Currently she's at 1858
and fourth high in the league.
In the last two sessions she
rolled 638 and 636 to raise her
average three points. Ole!
