The musicians are a game and a half in front of Doc Sullivan's charges, but face a postponed set with the strong King Pin combination, which is no set- up, especially when Campbell and Weid- man are right. Campbell and Weidman rolled good duckpins last week, but were too heavily loaded down by the performance of some of the other King performers to pull them over the top against the Fill- ing Station dispensers. H. B. Denham Co. failed to gain on the leaders when Service Cafeteria captured two games. Service Cafeteria trying to pull up on the leaders thought themselves capable of defeating two teams the same night and rolled the Linwoods in a late shift, but were able to get but one victory in this match. A real battle is being waged in the league between Service Cafeteria and New England Cafe. Latest stand- ings show Service leading by a narrow margin in pinfall. New England_won two games from People’s Life Insurance to gain a tle in games won and lost with Service The week’s final match between Lin- woods and F, H. Smith realtors ended the latter.

King Pin was led in its attack by Clem Weidman and Frye with 355 and 354, respectively. Lang contributed 351, while 1l got 340.

Meyer Davis started the upset against the champions by taking the initial con- test, 561 to 552, then came back to win the second, 558 to 540. Not being satis- fied with victory in the match, they whitewashed the Hall boys, winning the final e, 546 to 534. Joe McGolrick’s 373 and Fred Moore's 350 were the bright spots of the victors’ rolling. Jack Whalen rolled 365 for the Hall, while ‘Work added 357, but the Wolstenholme brothers failed to hold up, barely pass- ing the szuk, while Burtner was r 300. Curb Cafe kept pace with King Pin, taking two games from Petworth. Curb had. little difficulty annexing the first two games, but the final saw Petworth rise in its wrath and halt the Curb boys by a five-pin margin. Joedarrison and Hiser turned the field-day trick at this time, the former rolling 382, while the latter registered 363. Norman Baxter, who ‘directs Petworth activities, rolled high for his club with 344. Stanford Paper Co. was extended to better the 1,800 mark to win three games from Cornell’s Lunch. The lat- ter club turned in games of 559, 587 and 583. Stanford team recorded 16 strikes, Mandley getting 6 in his 391 sef, while Ellett added 5 in his score of 379.

The Kid, who had come over to the Old Timer’s office at noon to challenge him for a set that evening, was kicking around under the table. “Well, what are you doing—practicing the alleys tonight?” Timer. “I was feeling for the cuspidor,” said the Kid, abandoning his search and tossing his cigarette stub into the waste basket. “I'd forgotten you had it taken out. I sure do miss it.” “You always did miss it,” declared the Old Timer, significantly. “That's why Ihad it taken out.” Something Was Missing. “Say,” insisted the Kid, earnestly, “if I were you I'd use the soft pedal on that missing stuff. Any man—I will not use the term bowler in speaking of you—who blows four one-pin breaks in a row is missing a lot more than a cuspidor. But I do hope you missed sometl else, too—the way your team looked at you!” “What of it?” demanded the Qld Timer. “We won, didn't we? I'm a team bowler, I am, and give the other ;‘;lnhr; a chance. I don't hog the spot- ight. o “Oh, all right, all right!” interrupted the Kid. “Can I depend on you to show up at 7:30 this evening?” “I'll be there,” declared the Old Timer. “I'll be there 730 different ways at 7:30. I hate to do it, too, because I'm enter- ing The Star’s tournament and shooting with bum bowlers like you isn't helping my game any.” “Your game? Say, when you are go- ing good you are lucky to average 91— and just now you are at your worst— out before you're in so far as the tour- nament is concerned,” said the Kid. Wise to Exercise. “Oh, I bowl only for recreation and exercise,” explained the Old Timer. “I'll admit that I'm a trifie off my game now. but if doesn’t take long to swing back. A bowler is never out until he is all in, you know. I might surprise you.” “Anything ycu do over 430 for the five games will surprise me,” admitted the Kid; “and anything around’ 450 will surprise you.” “You are barking up the wrong ele- vator shaft,” insisted the Old Timer. “The fact that I shoot about 90, bowling with you, doesn’t mean that I can't do any better. It simply means that is all I need do to trim you, and why should I exert myself unnecessarliy— cut down my exercise by using only one or two balls to a frame when I am allowed three? If I need more than I get 'em—thassall.” You do?” said the Kid. “Well, I'll give you just two chances to demon- strate that tonight—a couple of games before the league matches, and as many games after the league matches as you can afford to pay for as low man.” * asked the Old ‘White Cross- Electric - Waffle Iron, nickel - plated.

Remember the story of the man who—"" “Yes, yes—go on.” said the Kid, get- ting up and moving toward the door. It's a Triple-Header. “__who took advantage of his wife's iliness to slip out for a little game of poker,” said the Old Timer. “As he reached home and tip-toed up the stairs the clock struck—One! Two! Three! Just then the nurse came to the head of the stairs and held up three fingers. ‘Yes' said the man, ‘I know it's 3 o'clock.” The nurse shook her head. ‘I didn’t mean the time,’ she whispered; “you'fe the father of triplets!' The man fell backward against the wall. ‘Trivlets!" he said. Then he looked up in the direction of the clock: ‘One! ‘Two! Three!” he counted slowly. Then he looked at the nurse. ‘By golly,’ he said, ‘it was lucky I didn't come home at 12, wasn't it?' " “Well,” said the Kid, pausing in the doorway, “Yowll need two sets of triplets — meaning triple - headers — to get any of The Star’s prizes.” “Ch, I'm not interested in the prizes,” declared the Old Timer. “I have a watch.” PR P O SR BROOKLYN PIN MATCH DETAILS COMPLETED Final arrangements for the “rubber” match between Brooklyn and Conven- tion Hall star bowlers have been com- pleted.
