Local Bowlers Return From Trip

The huge delegation of Indianapolis bowlers who sought laurels in the annual American Bowling Congress tournament in New York Friday and Saturday had returnec to the city today. Those who made the trip to get their first glimpse of the nation’s largest citv felt thev were well repaid for the long journey, but most

of those who had thoughts of cop- |

ping a share of the cash prize funds were a disappointed lot. Youth carried the Hoosier banner to the only places in the important top ten of the standings af the various events. Harold Cork, participating in his second A. B. C. tournament, and Carl Kiefer, who developed his southpaw delivery on the Fountain Square Alleys in his | high school days, were outstanding. | The former collected 1814 pins over the nine-game route to take seventh place in the all-events, while Kiefer | held eighth place with 1807. Cork cracked out a 635 in his five- | man appearance, turned in a 549 in | the doubles and a 630 in the singles. The 630 was top three-game series of the single entrants.

Others Reach 600

Other locals to reach 600 in the singles were E. Camp with 5629, Emerv Cundiff with 613. L. Wilkins with 606, M. Lawson with 601 and G. Woods with 600. Cundiff, in! | reaching his big series, opened the | second game with a foul and then cut loose with a volley of strikes | that gained him a 269 game, the highest rolled thus far in the singlas competition of the tournament. John Bader and Pug Leppert with | an 1173 and Bill Sargent and Jimmy | Todd with 1160 were outstanding in | | the doubles competition. | | Hoosier Pete's 2745 and Gold! | Medal's 2685 were leading five-man | totals. The Pete's series should gain | them one of the cash prizes in tne five-man competition. Mike Fox engineered the arrange- | ments for the special Pennsylvania | | Railroad train that carried the pin- | men to the big city while Norman | Hamilton was in charge of other | arrangements. Several additional | Indianapolis quintets are scheduled | for later appearances.
