Overcast, cool. Arose 8 A.M. Out on errands. Odds and ends. Dinner. Worked on Kissel Kar. Snow in P.M. Family to Troy. Father bought car of eggs @ 28 1/4. Home. Supper. Bowled in Church League Tournament. To bed 11:30 P.M.

**********
I'm not sure what those numbers mean in Stanford's description of what his father bought. But I thought it was interesting that Stillman bought carloads of eggs at a time. And he had just gotten done storing a bunch of eggs! Baffling!

Apparently, the city bowling league tournaments were a big deal in Schenectady. The Church League results got a big write-up in the local paper. Below is the article published the following day in the March 31st Gazette. If you look at the First Methodist scores, you'll see that Closson only bowled in one game and didn't do very well. It looks like McLean took over for him at that point and scored much better. (Maybe that's why Stanford didn't report his scores.) Yet the Church came in fourth, so they didn't fare too badly overall.
