 Marconi was going great guns and kept the balls rolling and the pins down in all six lanes at the Elks Bowling Lanes for over 70 games when he was suddenly stric- ken ill. Although he insisted upon continuing it became apparent by the 72nd game that he was con- pletely unable to hold down any thing, even water, in his stomach, and was forced to abandon the at- tempt.
 MarcOni made clear, however, that he will undertake the cham pionship bid again shortly and has embarked on a rigorous training regime.
