Both teams have lost only one game, while winning seven, and the clash tonight should almost determine the league winner. Last week the Yellow Bellies won an easy pair as they trounced trounc-ed the Chiefs 65 to 29, and ran rough shod over the Redskins 81 to 45. Groves of the YJB.'s, dunked dunk-ed a total of 70 points in these two skirmishes to stay far in the lead in individual scoring. CYO downed Copperfield 48 to 30 in their seventh consecutive win, and then lost a 41-43 thriller to Riverton to drop into a first place tie. M. Niksich and Rudy Pino were top gunners for the CYO squad with 31 and 30 points in the two games. Gressman led the Riverton five with 18 against CYO and Newman scored a like total for Riverton as they defeated defeat-ed the Redskins 52 to 26, to move into third place. Copperfield broke even by downing the Chiefs 49 to 21, after af-ter losing to CYO. Ohjy one night remains after this week's play, with CYO a-gainst a-gainst the Chiefs, Riverton playing play-ing the Yellow Bellies, and Copperfield Cop-perfield playing the Redskins. ALLEY ANGLES George Sluga, this season's top local kegler, stole the spotlight over regular play this week, as he turned in the coveted '300' perfect game. George was rolling roll-ing a practice session with several sev-eral other bowlers when he threw twelve straight strikes on alleys 1 and 2 at the Gemmell lanes. In the regular practice session M. Callisto topped a rather quiet night with 618 to lead squad No. 8 to 3 wins over No. 1, and into sole claim on second place. Sluga helped No. 3 take 3 of 4 from No. 7 with a 607, and Al Ablett lead squad No. 4 to 3 wins over No. 5 on the only other 600 of the evening, also a 607. Team No. 2 took 3 of 4 from No. 6 in the other game. Baseball Season Coming You couldn't tell it by the looks of the recent weather we've had, but baseball time is getting nearer and nearer.
