Clubs to Stage Parade Prior to A. B. C. Opening Kiwanis, Rotary Teams Arrange Event in Downtown Area; Jesse Smythe Cracks Out 671 Series. BY BERNARD HARMON CUTIZENS of Indianapolis, who might be strolling through the down--4 town district, about 7 o’clock the night of March 9, will probably ;hink a circus has arrived in the city or that a political campaign is in full sway. For that will be the opening night of the American Bowling Congress tournament and a big parade will precede the lid-lifting affair it the State Fairground Coliseum site. * Walker Winslow, president of the City Bowling Association, who lined up the various teams of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs to inaugurate

the new drives on the initial squad, has arranged a parade to precede the starting gong of the five-week affair. Bands, automobiles, red fire and noise-making contrivances of all kinds will announce to the city that the world's greatest indoor athletic event is about to get under way. Winslow- made hLs plans known during the weekly meeting of the Indianapolis A. B. C. Tournament Corp. in the Severin last night. The local officials were busy making final arrangements for the operation of the tourney. Harold Koch, chairman of the ticket committee, reported season tickets were selling fast, and expressed his belief that before the curtain raises for the big show, his supply would be depleted. Press arrangements, plans for entertaining out-of-town visitors and the opening night’s program at the

Coliseum were among the various things discussed by the group.

SPRING fever evidently got the best of pinmen in action in local loops last night. As the temperatures soared to anew high for the year, scoring took a plunge that resembled the thermometer’s dive during one of the recent oold waves. But Jess Smythe, State Highway maple-buster, must have had his spring tonic for he connected for the best three-game series of the season in his league. Rolling with Kellam’s Kegler’s, he totaled 671 through games of 237, 229 and 205. The big total earned his aggregation a two-time win over the opposing Culverts. Two additional members of the loop cut loose with 600 totals as Arch Demons downed Seperators in two games. 41 Dunlap and Russ Brown, opposing anchor men, were the top scorers, the former tossing a 641 for Demons as turned in a 602 for the losers. In the remaining team matches, held at Pritchett’s, Dukes registered a shutout over Nickel Steel and Annexers nabbed an odd-game decision over Old Trails.

THE usual high individual totals were missing from the South Side Business Men’s matches last night, only seven 600 counts being registered. When four of the 600 shooters happened to be members of the Newman's C-V Beer quintet, that aggregation assembled a 3035 total to carry off team honors for the evening. Games of 976, 1048 and 1011 gave the team its big series and a threegame victory over Tydol Gasoline. Oscar Behrens with 637. Slim Hendricks with 636, Paul Stemm with 614 and Art Pritchard with 612 formed the C-V’s hard-hitting quartet. Carl Kiefer led off for Heidenreich Florists with a 616, and when Dan Abbott anchored with a 636, the team turned in a shutout victory over Braden-Sutphin Inks. The other team matches were also decided over the shutout route. Cliff Meier Coal Cos., paced by Ronald Whitman's 616, winning over Koch Furniture, as Bake & Van’s D-X Service downed Stahlhut Jewelers. a tt Erni McKinnon hopped back into prominence during his Indianapolis Church League appearance at the Fountain Square Alleys, where he totaled 649 to nab citywide runnerup honors of the evening. No other member of the circuit reached 600 during the session. Maroons and Whites turned in shutout vietories over Golds and Browns and Grays and Blues took two each from Cardinals and Tans in the team clashes. tt tt tt A1 Schlensker pounded the maples to the tunc of 644. to top all rivals of the City Hall circuit in its session at the Central Alley-’..

Senators and Cardinals won twice each over Browns, Giants and Athletics. tt tt tt Jeas Pritchett Sr. registered a 634 in the Optimist League session, but—believe it or not—he failed to carry off the scoring honors. Charlie McCabiU located the pocket and wound up with a 637 for the top spot of the session, which was held at the Pritchett Alley*. Clarence Irish again passed the 600 mark, tossing a 606 in his trio of games. McCahill's Stiffs shut out Irish’s Shooters and Pritchett's Kickers dropped a pair to Pills. Roberts missed the 600 mark by one stick to lead Speeders to a double triumph over Springers. tt tt tt In the Lions Club matenes at the Antlers. Ears and Claws turned in triple victories over Tails and Manes, while Teeth and Hides won twice over Whiskers and Heads. Ernie Krutsinger topped his rivals with a 637 series, Halstead with 610 and Cook with 602 being the only threats to his supremery. tt tt tt Dick Nordholt had easy sailing in thi Reformed Church League clashes at Pritchett's. He totaled 637. and when no other loop member reached 600, he easily took the solo honors. Second Reformed No. 2 and Trinity were victorious over the shutout route.

The Red Sox currently operate only one minor league club—Rocky Mount in the Class B Piedmont League—but have had contacts with Syracuse in the International League and with Memphis and Little Rock in the Southern Association.
