Two 700 marks were chalked up—by Fred Schleimer and Ed Huck, both competing in the Traveler's circuit. Schleimer came in first as he reeled off games of 190, 234 and 288 for a smashing series of 712. The highlight of his set took place in his final game. He connected on 10 strikes in a row and then he was confronted with three-ten split on his'11th attempt. He made it and finished with the top game of the session. The other Fred, Huck, turned in 8 pretty fair evening's work also when he blasted out a set of 704. He rolled with Yaver Men's Shop d registered games of 233, 255 d 216. E. Henry of the Rosselyn Bakery contingent notched the third spot by reporting scores of 218; 252 and 223 and a figure of 693 in the same loop. Curt Heady, a teammate of Huck's with Yaver, compiled a 667 series which he acquired on games of 193, 260 and 214. Sai
