Hotel Association Quintet Gains Sixth Place in Team Division of Syracuse Meet Johnson and Carmin Move Into High Positions in Singles Event: Pritchett-Fehr Duo Among Doubles Leaders; Outlook Bright for 1936 Site Victory'Today. BY BERNARD HARMON Times Bowling Writer SYRACUSE. N. Y., March 22.—The 24 Indianapolis teams which fared the pins in the 35th annual A. B. C. tournament here last night fired better than the two dozen squads who took their whirl at the maples Wednesday night. Indianapolis bowlers also fared well In the minor events, placing two individualists and one doubles team among the first ten.

The Indianapolis Hotel Association team, witn the lineup that represents the Berghoff Beers in the Washington League on Friday nights, launched the most devastating offensive of the evening when they combined games of 901, 1001 and 974 for a total of 2876, which i landed them in sixth position, in l the team standings. No member of the team reached 600 during cne evening's play, but every one of the quintet wound up in the high 500 class. Dan Abbott and Dad Hanna had 586's, Walt Heckman a 575, Leo Ahearn 571 and Lou Daugherty 558. Splits Cost Johnson Marmon-Herringtons. paced by Milt Wimberly's 614, totaled 2776 in their three games. Gregory and Appels also passed 2700 when Joe Fulton led them to a 2752 with a 613 series. Frank Fox, a veteran of 33 I A. B. C. tournaments, eased over a 601 as the Fox Jail House team took a fling at the maples. Two open frames cost Don Johnson first place in the singles standings. a cherry pick and a split proving his downfall. Don went into the final frame of his nightcap game needing a mark to make the top berth, but he ran into the 5-7 split and wound up at 672 on games of 231, 249 and 192. Lee Carmin was also in rare form, copping sixth place on a 666 total. Carmin used games of 201. 238 and 227 in his series. In the Money Jess Pritchett Sr. drilled the pocket for a count of 650 in his doubles event, boosting himself and John Fehr into a tie for sixth place in the standings of the two-man event. The Indianapolis veteran had games of 234, 204 and 212. A score of other keglers from the Hoosier capitol passed the 600 mark and are in line to share in some of the $97,000 prize money, while several of the doubles partners halted around the 1150 mark, which also should be good for a payoff. Doubles teams making the best showings during the afternoon's pastiming were Les Koelling, Paul Stemm. 1167; Rudy Boesnecker, John Blue, 1155; John Murphy, Joe Rea, 1151; Art Cline, Odia Boston. 1149. and Clarence Mack, Charley Cray, 1147.

The Hoosier delegation spent a busy day lining up votes for .today’s convention that will award the site of the 1936 event. Enthusiasm was running high and the Indianapolis backers felt sure of landing the great classic. Milwaukee Aces Roll The pins are expected to take a severe bombardment tonight when the erack Heil and Schlitz teams, both of Milwaukee, square off with an array of nationally famed bowlers. Charlie Daw. former world's match game champion, and Frank Benkovic. co-holder of the present world doubles record of 1415, are members of the Schlitz aggregation Gil Zunker. Benkovic's doubles record partner, is in the Heils’ lineup. The Bilek's Florists of Cleveland stepped to the fore in the team event last night, setting anew mark of 2.929 on games of 933. 1018 and 978. A 681 by W. Knox of Philadelphia is the best singles series posted to date. B. Cook and R Schile of Cincinnati are on top in the doubles standings with 1285. B. Cook also is out in front in the allevents list with a grand collection of 1889. Norman Smith, after receiving a telegram of encouragement from his fellow employes back home, responded with a hefty 143. Ira Shaw spent most of Thursday evening trying to write a letter of explanation on that 94 game. Jess Pritchett closed Iris doubles performance by drawing an 8-10 split. A1 Holman was a victim of several "taps." Joe Daiyia drew a round of applause when he cleaned the 8-10 split in his singles. Too many 6-7-10s was the downfall of "Hard-Hittin’ " Hunt. One of the busiest men around the Syracuse Hotel is Dooley Cooper the Big Four representative. The : L S. Ayres boys appeared in the niftiest uniforms of the tournament. They were decked out in white flannel pants and white shirts. Chris Rassmussen cleaned the 6-7 split during his team event.
