PITTSBURGH 19, PA. 1 Branch 3616 Hi ighlighter By BILL TORDA • • •-------• Cleveland, Ohio MONTHLY MEETING The regular monthly meeting was held on Friday night, September 2nd. It was supuposed to have been quite an important session concerning the bowling situation for the coming season. Certain conditions and questions kept arising, adding just a little bit of doubt, thereby delaying matters somewhat in coming to any definite planning. As one thing kept leading to another, it was finally decided that another meeting would be held on the following Wednesday. So, after the meeting was adjourned, refreshments were served.

When the meeting finally was over, the bowlers were straightened out and teams were put into shape. KEG-LITES On Wednesday night, September 14th, our branch officially opened the bowling season. It certainly was a pleasant thrill to get started again blasting the maples once more. Now that we are on the go, it seems just like yesterday since we were in Detroit for the Tournament. A reminder to show that we still have pleasant memories of the past. Then again, it also turns our thoughts forward to the next affair wherever it may be held. We shall present ourselves in strength, — true with colors, including our little brown jug . . . (spiritual support, you know.) Well, I’d hate to try to put the Whammie on any of our teams by making any early predictions, butt if our boys will continue at the present pace, I believe a few of them will be in on collecting some of those ‘Greenbacks’ they pass out to the lucky winners. The boys really have shown some mid-season form and I don’t mean perhaps. Quite a few of the boys already have made themselves a game in the 200 bracket or better, which is a good start in any man’s league. Felix Tromski holds the edge for high three game series with a (Continued on page 10)
