LOS ANGELES
HE mystery of the Bally D erby which
T W.
H. Shorey, Jr., of Redlands dropped
off the back of his car enroute home from
Los Angeles was so lved when he inquired
among some youngsters along the road and
found one of them had picked up the table
off the highway and taken it to a barn.
Los Angeles coinmen are looking for-
ward to a big affair June 2nd when
CAMOA holds a big banquet and dance
at the Ship Cafe in V enice. Only Associa-
tion members and their guests wi ll be ad-
mitted, with a few extra tickets available
to members at $1.50 per head. The at-
tendance of over 500 will include some of
the operators' location owners.
~
Business has been particularly good dur-
ing the month for Paul A. Laymon, the
Los Angeles jobber reports. But everyone
was scurrying around the place the other
day until five fire trucks arrived in the nick
of time and extinguished a blaze in an ad-
joining building. There happened to be
more equipment in stock at the time t han
the insurance covered.
Clarence McClelland, manager of Na-
tional Amusement Co. branch in San Fran-
cisco, spent the first week in May visiting
the Los Angeles office and lining up sales
plans for Northern California.
KALAMAZOO, MI CHIGAN

meyer of San Luis Obispo, W. ]. Sparrow

ter, Wo lf brothers of San Diego, A. ].

house, Peterson and La Valle. Seaman of

.
Bob Riddell shot a 76 the open ing day
of the Santa Catalina Island golf tourna-
ment but doesn 't remember his score for
the fina l round.

by "300" Sol himself, has issued a chal-
lenge to the Consolidated Novelty Co. team
in the hopes of getting a coinmen's bowling
league under way. Other Gottlieb bowlers

del land Ted Starkey, while Frank Kozinsky

C. C. Goodson of Pasadena found a line
of customers outside one of his locations
waiting to get in at 8 a.m. the other day
and discovered the rush was caused by
anxiety to play one of his games that had
overpaid $28 the previous night.

A shipwrecked soldier, a marine, and a
sailor on a desert island looked across a

but I wish this one was Garbo' "
Sai lor: " Heck, I wish it was dark' "
Young Man: "Your father looks very

A man who had lived on a desert isle
for many years one day saw another island
in the distance, so he made a crude raft
and paddled over. On the island he was
met by a woman , who like himself, had
been on this isle for many years:
Woman: ''I'm going to give you some-
thing you have wanted for many years'"
Man: " D on't tel l me, lady, that you have
beer on ice over here )"
