Fawcett's Great Game
Do
OC MOLTHEN'S 238 for Ten Pins still remains the top score for the month of November, but he had a very narrow escape on Monday, when J. R. Fawcett, of Engineers, made 237 Fawcett's string was as follows:-spare, spare, spare, strike. spare. spare, and six strikes in a row. There is no doubt that had Fawcett made one more strike instead of one of the spares he would easily have beaten Doc Molthen's
score.
Fawcett's 237 is not his best score in the Alleys, because in October 1938 he made the second highest score that has ever been registered in these Alley's—264.
•
By the way, the highest score recorded in the Alleys was made by Sapper O. Bell in November 1938, his score being 266, made up exactly the same as Fawcett's best ef- fort except that he got 6 pins down instead of 4 pins on his 10th frame, to make a spare with his second shot.

and
Landolt had the highest score for Duck Pins with 129. This too was almost beaten by C. G. Cummings (U.3.5. Ashville) an November 19, but 129 has been beaten with- out question by F. R. Fawcett with 157, made up with a spare, 8, two strikes to- gether, a spare, a 9. a 10, a spare, atriko, spare, and a 2 on his extra ball. This is
indeed a fine effort and is the highest score for Duck Pins made at the Alleys.
The previous record for the Alleys was

Woolgar's Consistency
I WOULD like to refer to the consistent Duck Pin bowling of G. D. Woolgar, On Tuesday he played six games in succession and made the following scores:-107, 82, 107, 107, 100, 102, a total of 605 pins, or an average of 101 pins per game.
This is truly a good effort, especially in
a game were 100 scores are few and far between. I expect in the near future to have something more to record about this player's good form.

It will be noticed that to be a good Duck Pin player does not necessarily mean that J. Shepherd (425) v. J. S. Landolt (+9) he cannot be a good Ten Pin Player, be-
A. R. Wilkins (.4-26) v N. R. Kirk (423) ́ cause both Landolt and Fawcett are two M. F. L. Haymes of the best Ten Pin Players at the Alleys.
This is also emphasised in the case of Mrs. Soong, who is no doubt the best Lady Duck Pin player, besides being a Ten Fin player of no mean ability.
