Their lead is slim, however, and Black WidSkymasters or Security Five with a little luck could conceivably grab the first half winner's ring. These slumps are difficult things to explain but they do hap pen in all forms of sport from Frog Jumping to the womens shot put. Bowling is certainly no exception In the throes of a slump the per former has unconsciously added or deleted from his technique a certain something that upsets his game. After a period of poor performances this condition spreads from the physical to the mental. That's bad! In the latter stage individuals with certain temperaments should be placed in strait jackets for security measures, while the more lucid and serene should be taken before a psychiatrist. (Expense in both cases should be born by the league, as after all the league is an accessory before the fact.) As a matter of fact a certain player on the Air Installations team is just emerging from a slump so severe that at one time he contemplated ending it all in the waters of the Pineview Reservoir where he had previously thrown his bowling ball. Fortunate ly, according to experts these slumps when analyzed and treated victim with early can leave thesenses intact. practically all his They contend further that everything has an explanation as take the following for example: A doctor was awakened from sleep by a phone call from one of his erstwhile patients. "It's my wife, Doc," he cried excitedly, "her appendix please hurry.' "Nonsense," snapped the doctor, "I distinctly remember removing your wife's appendix only'eight months ago, and I never heard of anyone having two appendices." "Very true," replied the patient, "did you ever hear of anyone having two wives?" Monday Night Summaries: High Individual Series: Hank De Boer, 595, Vern Gale, 534, Frank Francom, 527.

A Sgt.'s Wife Makes Name in Sports Field By Charles Greenhaw Ringing out the soon to be parted year of '49 without recog nition of a champion who has held that title for the greater part of the past decade, would be a crime.

This writer, when first asked to do a story he story about Wilma, thought mawas in for an easy go. The terial was there yeah, pages of it in her own scrapbook. Sports leads, columns and pictures always with the names Abrams (before she married) or Freston in the headlines. The fact is there was just too much to pick from. This writer was really in a daze. I could tell you about her record of no-h- it pitching contests that number in excess of 30. The scrapbook only tells about 25 of them; it includes only a few dozen of her countless winning performances that make men hurlers marvel at the awesome sight. She has pitched against, and beaten, men batters. I won't tell you these that, things because of the many of necessity, would have to remain behind the portals of a dusty old memory book and be hidden for the future until two little ladies named Becky and Jody could run their fingers across the tarnished In the evenings second contest, AACS won runnerup honors in the Lt. league by adging MATS Huxley of MATS was high point man.

No, if you're wondering, '49 wasn't Wilma's last season. She'll probably reduce a few more batting averages again come next spring. Presently, Wilma is playing basketball, and, if the team has a star, she's it. Time alone will determine how Km much longer this remarkable story in all its exotic fantasy will continue. It is a great one. It is the story of a woman who wanted to do something great. And did It.
