      "Sweety" managed to get a bit more exercise this evening visiting five different persons. She got moving in game two with Pat "Driller" Jungmann and in the next game moved to the hands of John "Rotten" Reed. Along came Carl "The Wizard" Schaefer in his game three to take her for a long while until Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest shouted for her in her game seven. That lasted for only one game as "Bad Betty" Morehouse snatched her away in her game eight and held on to her for the rest of the night to collect the $12.00 from the last 24 Hand Pot.

 

EVENT HAPPENINGS 

 

              "Trooper" Tom Varnell came back tonight from being sick to add to his point total this season. He won his first two games lost his third then won the next four before losing his last two games to complete his 12 Pt. 6 W 81 Spread Card for first place money.

 

              Carl "The Wizard" Schaefer continued his winning ways, winning his first three games lost the middle three but turned it around and won his last three to turn in another 12 Pt. 6 W 40 Spread Card to finish in second place the third time this month tonight.

      

           Don "Curly" Russell almost did the same as Carl winning his first three games but then lost only one before winning the next three but managed to lose his last two to finish with another 12 Pt 6 W 20 Spread Card to give him third place money tonight.

 

               "Old # 1" Martin Hellberg had an off and on night losing at the start winning the next one then losing again. He was unable to string enough wins together for points and managed to complete a 10 Pt. 5W 63 Spread card for fourth place honors only tonight.
