Toms Stumble, But Take Share Of Lead
Brady, Williams, Bristol Only Keglers Over 500 On Down Day


"What did you expect? Marry my daughter?"

South Glens Falls - Roy Brady somehow managed a league-best 589 on games of 214, 161 and 214 Thursday afternoon at Kingpin's Alley as the Forever Young league struggled on all fronts after a scheduled lane maintenance weekend at the facility.

Teammate Don Williams started with 159 and added 213 and 182 for 554 for runner-up honors, but the pair's output wasn't enough to stop a 3-1 Tomahawk defeat against Team Trudeau.

Despite the loss, the Tommies settled into a three-way tie for the top spot in the standings, as Sandy & George were swept and the Islanders did some sweeping of their own. All have 11-5 records at the quarter-mark of the season. George Bristol had the circuit's other 500, a 187-178-507.

The late-arriving Team Macey sit at 10-2 with four squads tied at 8-8.
