     "Sweety" was very active tonight visiting with five different people. She started off with Pat "Driller" Jungman in his game one. That lasted until game three when "Saweet" Johnny Hensley took her for a short visit. Along came J.R. "The Spoiler" Cast and whisked her away in his game four. She rested there until  "Driller" wanted her back in his game seven. "Trooper" Tom Varnell had her for a very short while in his game eight before "Old #1" Martin Hellberg snatched her away in his game eight to keep her and collect the $12.00 for his evenings work.

         "Captain" Jack Stemmer started off  the evening winning his first seven games but ran up against John "Rotten" Reed and lost to kill his chance of a grand slam. He recovered and won his last one to complete his 16 Pts. 8 W 73 Spread card.

 

         "Saweet" Johnny Hensley came in second tonight and regained the club lead with his 15 Pts. 7 W 95 Spread card. He lost his first two games getting skunked in his second one by Helen "The Hellion" Daniels but then went on a winning streak all the way out skunking "Old #1" Martin Hellberg in his last game to complete his card.

                     

       Helen "The Hellion" Daniels was on a hot streak skunking three of her first four opponents. She calmed down and won the next two but fell apart and lost her last three games finishing third with a 13 Pt. 5 W 90 Spread card.

 

    There were three ten point cards with no one besides the top three scoring points tonight.
