rare appearances with the Trades
men, toppled a 327 single, good
enough to be awarded a turkey.
Bern McLean of the Keglers was
runnerup with 318.
Four turkeys were awarded
for “hidden” scores—one score
in the 400s, two in the 500s, and
one in the 600s. Scores drawn
were 454, 599, 599 and 699.
Dick Watson (Keglers) was a

Simpson’s 601, for the Spares,
won them a bird apiece, Rural
Roller Merle Mode captured a
prize with 703.
Results were not available un
til Thursday night because of a
postponed game.
Pre-Christmas Standing
The Spares finished the first
section of the schedule with a
ten-point lead over their nearest
rivals, the Butchers and Huskers.
Four teams bowled Wednesday'
and Thursday of last week with
these results:
Whizz Bangs 5, Tradesmen 3
The Whizz Bangs, with four
men over 600, edged the Trades
men 5-2, winning the total pins
point by three. They bowled
1,161-1,275, 1,219-1,115 and 1,-
162-1,115. Dick Jermyn and Bud
Preszcator had good triples of
683 (273) and 674 (274) re
spectively. \
747 (298) to little avail for the
losing Legion team.
Windmills 7, Strikes O
The Dutch Boy Windmills
breezed through the Strikes 7-0
in easy fashion, though some of
the gariies were close — 1,099-
958, 1,297-1,008 and 1,095-1,013.
Bill Thornton made a good try
for the turkeys with 710 (265).
For the losers, Doug Hughson
had 586 (244).

MEN’S LEAGUE STANDING
The turkey roll is all over hut
the eating and six bowlers In the
Men’s League certainly have no
reason to be disappointed.

the Pinpoppers. Harry Kieswet-
ter, bowling with the opposing
team, was runnerup for the high
triple of the week, with 756.
Roy Brock, making one of his
Here We Go Again . . ,
As much as we dislike sound
ing a sour note in the Christmas
season, fe feel explanations in
policy are necessary to the Dutch
Boy Food Market team.
It has been drawn to our at
tention that the Windmills, or at
least some members of the team,
took offense to that mention of
“adjectives” in reference to the
postponement of their game dur
ing the turkey roll. We. do not
think the remarks in the col
umn merited this for we blamed
no one in particular. The hassle
appeared to be the result of
myopic management on the part
of all concerned, including yours
truly.
We try to remember in writ
ing this column that we are act
ing as spokesman and reporter
of the league. We make an ef
fort to relate the facts that will
interest bowlers and, as much as
possible, keep our opinions to
ourselves.
However, in our personal con
tacts our opinions are our own,
and an Irish temper is sometimes
a great help in getting to the
point. -In our little discussion
with a representative of the
Dutch Boy team, the fact that
special concessions had been
made to the team before the
schedule was drawn up
eral times since created
view of the affair.
We would like to

With The Ladies’ League
Naida Francois and Georginia
Webster took home a fine tur
key each for their efforts at the
bowling alleys last week. The
annual turkey roll .gave six
others hidden scores and big
birds too. They were Agnes Cut
ting, Mae Wolfe, Eunice Nixon,
Dot Brady, Doreen Prance
Verlyn Lindenfield.
Mrs. Francois bowled 683
high triple and Mrs. Webster
for high single.
When it came down to bowl
ing under the regular system,
the Hog Dogs came out seven
points to the good after their
match with the Frisky Sisters.
Pauline Robinson’s 590 and 203
were most outstanding for the
Dogs and Ollie Essery showed no
small opposing power with 59 5
and 217 on the Sisters' team.
The Merry Maids took all sev
en points from the Busy Bees
with the help of Mrs. Francois’
high triple for the week and 275
in one game. On the losing
team, Mrs. Webster was ahead
all the way with 580 and 250.
The Yarn Spinners chalked up
five points to their credit after
a three-game tangle with the
Skunks. Winners’ best was a 49 5
triple, bowled by P. Dyk. For
the Skunks, B. Christie came up
with 611 and 221 for honors.
A five-point win went to the
Hi-Lights in their games against
the Wee Hopes. Ruth Durand
took the Lights’
(213) and 501
and 220 in one
biggest hope for
Annie Lawson
Jills to a five-point victory with
504 in three games against the
Alley Cats. Betty Wilson’s 530
and 200 kept the Cats in there
pitching to the end.
The Happy Gals were more so
after their five-point win over
the Jolly Six. For the Gals, M.
Thornton bowled high triple, 640
and 219 in one game while los
ers’ best was 510 in three .games
by E. Robinson.

Naida’s Nines
When Naida

had no idea what numbers she
had picked. Several sets of each
number from zero to nine were
placed in containers, Naida mere

the week’s bowling. By coincid
ence, Naida had drawn six nines.
The hidden scores were 454, 599,
599 and 699!
Dick’s Dilemma
Some discussion was held to
decide whether the triples had
to be in the 500s and 600s.
President Dick Jermyn thought
the closet numbers to 599
699 should win whether
numbers were in the 600s
700s or not. All agreed.
It was discovered
other system been
would have won a
