I'm Whalen; on the level I am.” Reilly paid no attention. They eouldn’t fool him. Finally Whalen said: “Say, don’t you remember when we played at Bakerfieid?, I'm Whalen, on the square.” Rellly, with a disgusted look, turned Say, you can't kid me, boy, he piped, “Whalen never got around this far.” [ NOURE meT waWALEN || i Timamny ] | | HENBUER GaT ARMD M::Mfl ThS FAR. | | | and looked at Jimmy again. | Most of Prizes in | Chi Bowling Event Frank Kafora, who acted relief catcher on the Rourkes the greater part’ of last year, has just copped most of the honors in the cit bewling tourna- ment at Chicago.
