TOUTED PIN TEAMS MENACE TOP TOTAL OF LOCAL QUINTET

Roll on Final Week-End of A. B. C. Meet Visitors Aim at Brus’ 3089; Chicagoans Join Leaders; Joe Milled Up. BY BERNARD HARMON The final week-end of the American Bowling Congress tournament at the State Fairground Coliseum Is to bring into action some of the classiest teams in the country. Former champions, runners-up, match game stars and other touted individuals are carded on the twoday program. On tonight’s opening squad, Ad Unke, singles champion and runnerup in the all-events standings of the 1929 A. B. C. tourney, is scheduled to appear with the Braumeister Beers of Milwaukee, while included in the lineup of YatesAmerlcan Machinery Cos. of Beloit, Wis., is Garry Heup. one of the 1930 doubles winners. Lloyd B. Marsh of Patterson, N. J.. a team carrying an average in the neighborhood of 1020. along with Motor Inn Recreation No. 1. from Pontiac, Mich., and Blatz Old Hiedelberg of Milwaukee, two powerful scoring aggregations, are also slated To face the maples with the 8:15 shift. The evenings second squad is loaded with scoring talent, and the 3089 top team series, posted bv the local Falls City Hi-Brus Wednesday. will be in constant danger. Joe Miller, ex-match champion, is numbered among the members of Lang's Extra Quality Beer & Ale, of Buffalo. Six Perfect Games Fans familiar with pin scoring accomplishments will recall the pair of 300 games recorded by Jack Aimer in an 827 series a few years ago. Jack, who hails from Niles. 0., is to see action with the Union Ice Cos., of that city. Another pinster, to whom 300 games are not rare is Walter Ward, the Clevelander, who is to appear with Waldorf Golden Bocks, an entry from his home town. Ward has six perfect games to his credit, all rolled in sanctioned play. Star Kansas City teams are to appear with the second squad of the evening. Gates Funeral Home, Goldman Jewelry and Gateway Sport Goods are among the Missouri entries. Herman Undertakers of St. Louis, Omaha Ice of Omaha, Collinwood Shale Brick and Waldorf Hy-Proof of Cleveland are other teams expected to turn in brilliant scoring on the 10:15 squad. Ex-champions are included on the rosters of two teams on the 8:15 Sabbath squad. Chick Aston and Phil Young. 1926 doubles champs, are to roll with Loerber Beer of Akron. 0., while George Keegan, formerly of the Nelson Mitchells, 1923 five-man winners, is a member of the Plankington Arcade of Milwaukee. On the 10:15 squad. Jerry Vidro, 1934 individual event winner, is to appear with Pfeiffer's BeerBroggers Alleys of Grand Rapids, Mich. On another Pfeiffer’s Beer team will be found the only doubles combination that ever clicked together in two-man competition with games of 300 each. Walter Shackett and John Crimmins, members of the team, turned in this remarkable feat in a match series. Old Plymouth Ale, of Battle Creek, Mich., featuring William Kline, runner-up in the 1935 individual event. Resch Red & Blues, a crack quintet from Youngstown, 0., and Wolf’s Head Oils, one of Akron’s ace teams, are other aggregations featured on tomorrow’s program. Chicago Threatens Spectators who stayed for the finish of last night’s show saw several teams cut loose with scores that threatened to surpass the 3089 of the local Falls City Hi-Brus. Several aggregations assembled clusters of strikes that sent them into their third games with a splendid chance to overhaul the Indianapolis quintet. However, when the firing had ceased, Budweiser Beers of Chicago was the only team with a total good for a place among the ten leaders. They flanked a 959 centerpiece with games of 1006 and 1017 for a 2982 that gained them eighth. Ben Bernichhi with a 623 was their top soloist. East Side Liquor Cos., another Windy City five, had the crowd on its feet as it tossed openers of 1018 and 1034. The team needed a 1038 to outscore the Hi-Brus. but it weakened after getting away to a nice start in the final game, and wound up with a 2962, just out of the top 10. Steve Anzak with a 629 ahd Mayer Martetick with a 612 were the leading scorers. Three other Chicago teams. Bruck's Beer, with 2898, Bruck-Weisner Recreation with 2884 and Kruse Morticians with 2864, were other leading combinations of the late shift. Firestone Bank of Akron, featuring last year's double winners. Souers and Sumerix, topped all teams competing on the 8:15 squad, when they totaled 2835 in their trio of games. Ben Bernichhi’s five from Chicago collected a 2790. Dr. J. J. Moffett and Consumer’s Agency, both of Moline, 111., posted eeries of 2774 and 2760. They were the only other high-scoring combinations of that squad. Minor events entrants, rolling on the matinee squads, failed to turn in any impressive scores. Two doubles combinations passed 1200 and one singles entrant soared over the 650 mark for the only outstanding scores of the afternoon. Tom Sharkey and John Melsheimer of South Bend combined totals of 630 and 617 for a 1247 to pace the twoman teams. Herb Frietag and 40olph Carlson, the touted Chicagoans, collected 1222 in their tJCree games. The former rolled an even 600 while Carlson totaled 622. Alfred Van De Walle, another South Bend pinman, topped all singles shooters when he connected for games of 173, 222 and 266 for a 661. No other individuals passed the 650 mark, Eddie Zajac of Chicago with 648 and Hugh Harrop of South Bend with 645 being closest to the mark. City representatives also failed to do any big scoring although several doubles and singles entrants fired at the maples. Neil King and Jimmie Hurt with a 1195 topped the fWo-man combinations, while Pete Miller with 625 and Bob Wuensch with 808 were the leading soloist*.
