Four Weeks Of Heavy Lifting Ahead
Yanks Win, Tommies & Singers Loom

South Glens Falls - The Yanks remained atop the Forever Young league standings with a 3-1 victory against the Racy Retirees Thursday afternoon at Pine Lanes. Ingrid Basso once again put a well-above-average 163 game in the middle to pick up anchor Mark Basso and provide a tense ten-pin win in a crucial spot.

The Tomahawks brought out the brooms and swept P+C to move into second place, just 5½ points behind. Don Williams took the day's high honors with a 613 series on games of 216, 210 and 187. Partner Roy Brady was right there as well, with a pair of deuces included in a 591 effort.

The Singers bowled the vacancy and came away with three points and a virtual tie with the Tommies at 27-17. Joe Sycuro barely missed the 500 level with 494. The team made a fine comeback after coming up short in the opener.

The CC's pounded the Gamblers 4-0 as Chuck Boykin put 226 at the end of a fine 561 set. Carol Finkle set the standard for the ladies (as usual) with her 179-416.

Frosty + One beat Hi-Lo 3-1 thanks in part to rookie Patrick Scanlan's 183 second game, and The Librarians continued on their recent downward spiral - falling 4-0 to the Marauders. Roger Nelligan rolled a 173-495 for the winners.

There are four weeks remaining in the season. In two weeks, the Yanks face off against The Singers. Following that, they get the Tomahawks. The fifteenth week is a position round, so any predictions now certainly fall well within the margin of error.
