MURPHY WINS ALL-EVENTS AS RECORD A. B. C. ENDS HERE

City Youth Is Victor With 2006 Pinnage Other Local Bowlers Place High in Standings of 1936 Classic. Y BERNARD HARMON The greatest bowling show in the history of the popular indoor sport has ended. During the last five weeks 15.000 bowlers, including the best in the United States, Canada and Hawaii, filed into the American Bowling Congress battleground in the State Fairground Coliseum. The big event drew to a close yesterday afternoon as the final individual entrants sought honors on the 4:15 squad. And as the final ball rolled into the pits, one of the city’s most popular pinmen, Johnny Murphy, became the 1936 all-events champion. Johnny, a member of the touted Cook’s Goldblume team, is but 21 years of age and only a few years ago made his debut in the bowling game as a pin-setter at the St. Philip Alleys. Between games, he came out of the pits and took up the game from the other end of the alleys and it was not long until he became one of the leading scorers around the East Side drives. Under the tutelage of Bill Sargent, manager of the alleys, Johnny developed fast, and at the start of the present season the veteran, Jess Pritchett Sr„ added the youngster to his starstudded Goldblume quintet. Totes Big League Averages In league competition this season he has compiled averages of 211, 208 and 200 in the South Side Business Men’s, Indianapolis and Fountain Square Recreation Leagues. Making his appearance in the A. B. C. with the Pritchett entry he topped the team’s scoring with a 685. and on the following day came back with counts of 682 and 639 in his doubles and singles appearances. His nine-game total f 2006 put him in the all-events lead, and no other pastimer competing since was able to dislodge him. His 245 average in the 1936 tourney gave him a grand average of 199 in the five A. B. C. events in which he has appeared. It was the first time a local entry had finished at the top in the all-events since Jap Peacock copped the title in 1906. Raymond Fox, son of the famed Frank, and a brother of the highscoring Larry, who piloted Bowes Seal Fast into seventh in the team events, fell but a few pins short of giving Indianapolis her third 1936 A. B. C. championship. The younger of the Fox bowling family assembled a 728 series that was good for second place as the final standings were posted. Despite a poor start, he turned a seemingly low score into a 202 opener and then followed with counts of 248 and 278. He had two open frames, one a split and one an error. A mark in either of the frames u'ould have sent him ahead of Charley Warren, the Springfield (111.) youth •who stopped the field with a 735 total.

O'Grady, Bohne Cash Another pair of local kegelers are to receive a nice sum of the cash prizes in the doubles event, Jerry O'Grady and Herman Bohne having finished in third place in the twoman competition. O'Grady’s 629 and Bohne’s 674 gave the duo a 1303 series, which placed them at the top for several days. Two out-of-town combinations, however, surpassed their total later in the tourney, and the city boys had to be satisfied with third. Anthony Slanina and Mike Staka, a Chicago duo, copped first in the event with a 1347, while Roy Milan and Gus Kruzich of Springfield, 111., took second on a 1320 total. High Scores Lacking The four squads of minor events entrants, who yesterday fired their parting shots at the three titles still at stake, failed in their attemps to reach the top and all previous members of the top 10 in the standings clung to their respective positions. Walter Fisher of Terre Haute outscored all soloists when he fired games of 215, 254 and 181 for a 650 total, while Frank Trifilio and Walter Grangier of Cincinnati topped all doubles combinations with an 1183. Indianapolis had several pastimers in action as the curtain fell, but only one was able to produce a score that was good for a high position in the standings. Sam Badders, after opening at 181, grouped strikes in his two following games and emerged with counts 249 and 213 for a 643 total. Webb Wallace and A1 Hoereth tied for the local runnerup honors with 5895. The HewesBusses duo turned the best doubles total, an 1127.

Indianapolis. Why You Should Never Cut a Corn If you are troubled with corns or callouses, do not run the risk of blood poison by paring them. Statistics show that many Infections have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of paring corns. Simply go to your druggist and get some Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callous. The pain promptly disappears and in a short time the corn or callous will loosen and lift off easily —root and all—leaving the surrounding akin in a healthy normal condition. This, together with the fact that IceMint quickly oae;-s such troubles as sore, tired, aching, puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, easy and comfortable, is probably the reason for the hearty endorsement given it by druggists. To rid one's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or painful callouses in such a pleasant and safe way, makes it seem the height of folly for any one to pare a corn and people are warned to stop it. —Advertisement.

Two complete squads of bowlers in the state invitational women's tournament fired at the maples on the A. B. C alleys in the State Fairground Coliseum last night. Practically all of the initial participants were from cities outside Indianapolis, but tonight's squads are to be made up of local pastimers. Minnie Schavoske of Terre Haute assumed the lead over her rivals last night when she posted games of 174, 192 and 160. which with a 98pin handicap netted her a 624 total.
