     "Sweety" was not as active this evening visiting only three different people tonight. She started the night with "Saweet" Johnny Hensley in his game two.

But along came Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest in her game nine and decided she wanted to take home the $14.00.

 

EVENT HAPPENINGS

      Zeke "Da Zappa" Blocklinger  ran off six games in a row after losing his first game to "Old #1" Martin Hellberg before incurring his only other loss of the evening to Pat "Driller" Jungmann in game eight and winning his last one to complete his 14 Pt 7 W 76 Spread card

 

        "Saweet" Johnny Hensley came in second tonight losing his first game to  John "Rotten" Reed then bouncing back and forth between winning and losing to finally break his drought and score his first points this season with his 12 Pt. 6 W 61 Spread card.

 

         "Old  # 1" Martin Hellberg was also unable to put a string together after winning his first game and losing his next two but still managed to finish out his 12 Pt. 6 W 49 Spread card for third place money tonight.

          

          Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest  won her first, lost her second and third games then alternated winning and losing before skunking "Captain" Jack Stemmer and J.R. "The Spoiler" Cast in her last two games to come in fourth with her 12 Pt 5 W 30 Spread card.

SPECIAL POOLS

 

     "Trooper" Tom Varnell caught the Raggedy Andy tonight in game five, so the 23 Hand is the only available hand left open.

 

  28/29  POOL

 

      Jeanette Cast was dealt four fives in her game four but only managed to get a lowly ace for no help.  So the pool now stands at $333.00 after the seventh night of the season.

 

 Skunk Fund


        The skunk fund was a little more prosperous tonight. It received $2.75 by the end of the evening.   WE  THANK ALL OF YOU!!
