Local Bowlers Prepare For Final Tournaments
By BERNARD HARMON
The bowling season is fast drawing to a close.
By the end of the
week. half of the city’s leagues will bring their season’s schedules to an end. Two more tournaments involving city pastimers are attracting the attention of followers. Twenty quintets are entered in the annual State
tournament, now in progress South Bend, while several others are to take a whirl at the maples in the annual Kentucky Derby Festival meet in Louisville. Paul Striebeck found the range in his Evangelical League appearance last night, posting a 722 that gave him city-wide honors for the evening. He had games of 267, 212 and 243 while in action with the Reds, which won twice over Dodgers. The big total was 101 pins above his nearest rival, Val Schneider whose 621 for the Senators was good for runnerup honors of the loop. The Senators, despite the big series, dropped two games to White Sox. Louie Koehler's 619, featuring a 257 finish, Frank Stumpf’s 618 and Al Bottin's 600 were other honor counts of the circuit.
The remaining team clashes were |
.decided over the two-to-one route, Cardinals, Nonames, Cubs, Tigers and Pirates winning over Giants. Red Sox, Browns, Indians and Athletics.
Woirhaye Jr. Gets 650
Harry Woirhaye Jr. posted games of 214, 209 and 227 for a 650 total that earned him city-wide runnerup honors of the evening. He garnered the big series in the Fountain
Square Recreation League at the Fountain Square Alleys, giving his Indiana Candy team an odd-game decision over Kamm’s Beer, which had Robinson's 615 as its top count. Gib Smith led his Stahlhut Jewelers to a two-to-one decision over Jack’s Restaurant with a 603; Oren Van Buren’s 617 set the pace for Smith & Co. two victories over Chas. Tripp & Co. and Robbins Market nabbed the rubber from Herther Coal Co., in a series that . failed to develop a 600 shooter. Chris Pieper’s 635 was good for the solo honors of the Reformed Church League matches at the Pritchett Alleys. Hafer’s 617 and Kruwell’'s 602 were the only other 600s registered. Immanuel No. 2 nabbed three games from Carrollton Avenue for the lone shutout of the session.
Morris Best in Phone Loop
Al Morris and Alvin Storey were the leading soloists of the Indiana - Bell Telephone League, in session at the Indiana Alleys. The former had a 624 and Storey 618. Traffic and Long Lines turned in the only shutouts of the gathering. In the Indianapolis Automotive matches at the Antlers, Clarence Tutterow outdistanced rivals with a 624. that was the lone honor count of the session. His Mobilgas benefited from the top series, turning in a shuteut over Wreckers. Gulling Auto Electric also escaped defeat, downing Perine Oil three times. Eli Seddon southpawed his way to a 617 that proved the top series of The Indianapolis Times League matches at the Indiana. His Composing Room quintet set a season record for one game, getting a 961 opener. Advertising clinched first place with a triple victory over Circulation. Buddy Wright set the pace in the Transportation League's final session of the season, getting a 614. His only rival for the honors was Collins, who posted a 611 in his three games. The two 600 shooters proved
helpful to Indiana Railroad and
in®
Southern Pacific, who won the lone shutouts of the session. Lang's 611 in the Indianapolis Church loop at the Fountain Square, Paul Payne’s 607 in the North Side Business Men's League at the Parkway, Cotton's 604 in the Service Club’s session at the Parkway, Cotton's 604 in the Service Club's session at the Parkway, Gecrge Godwin's 602 in the Fraternal at the Illinois and Jess Smythe's 600 were other leading scores of the evening. Leaders of other - leagues were: Wheeler Lunch (Central), Cutter, 594: Holy Cross (Central), T. Sheehan, 594; 590; Kroger Grocery (Pennsylvania), Ries, 583; Gibson Co. (Illinois), Gresham 580 and Uptown Ladies (Uptown), Bryant, 497.
Day, Marino Star in A. B. C.
By United Press NEW YORK, April 20.—The lowscoring pay-offs in the American Bowling Congress tournament will be nearly. the same as last year, the current scores indicated today, despite the fact there is $36,803 more prize money than a year ago. The lowest score in the team money in 1936 was 2703: in the doubles, 1135; singles, 582, and allevents, 1811. Today the lowest money figures were 2672 in the fiveman event, 1111 in the doubles, 658 in the singles, and 1801 in the allevents. Unusually high scores in all -the events accounts for the probable similarity of low payoffs with last year even though there are 206 more team prizes, 257 more two-man prizes, 498 more in the singles, and 60 more in the all-events. Yesterday's bowling was featured by a runnerup in the all-events. Ned Day of Heil's Quality Products of Milwaukee added 637, 688 and 689 for 2014 and second place—25 pins under the leader. The evening’s most dramatic moment was provided by Hank Marino, anchor man of the same team. In the singles event he started with a “duffer” 156, but finished with 276 and 277 for 709 and seventh place. High team score of the day was turned in by Collburn Wheel and Rim of Syracuse, which took 10th place with 3009. Other high scores were 2989 by Loewers of New York and 2724 by Canavan & Legget of Niagara Falls, N. Y. In the two-man event, Ken Hardesty and Joe Winkler welded games of 506, 336 and 407 for a 1299 to place in the money. The opening game, 506, was the second highest of the current tourney.

TRIBE HOPES FOR SECOND TOLEDO VICTORY,
Johnson Due To Start for Redskin Team
Red Phillips Shows Well in Series Opener; Players In Fine Spirits.
After taking two out of three from teams in their own “sectional,” Wade Killefer's Indians were feeling all right today and hopeful of maintaining the sprightly “early foot.” They grabbed the series opener from the Mud Hens of Toledo yesterday, 5 to 2, behind the smart pitching of Red Phillips, and in the struggle this afternoon Lloyd Johnson, southpaw, was to receive the mound assignment against Fred Haney's rebuilt aggregation. Johnson was obtained in an even | trade for chunky Stewart Bolen and Manager Killefer is anxious to see how the lanky left-hander performs as a starting hurler in the American Association. He is a former Coast Leaguer. The league race has not warmed up yet, but winning two tilts in three starts is fair enough in any circuit. Toledo was a hard nut for the Tribesters to crack last year and the ‘local boys were jubilant after finishing on the long end yesterday.
Stops Big Fellows
league brand of hurling after the fifth and the Hens were subdued without a hit in the last four rounds after stacking up eight blows in the first five. He paid particular attention to Toledo's “power,” Coleman and Burns, and the big fellows got only one safety between them, a single by Coleman. The Tribesters collected 12 hits to eight for the Hens and the home boys gétting two each were Sherlock, Eckhardt and Taylor. Flea Clifton, third sacker, was the lone for two bingles. Alta Cohen, southpaw, who was a ‘thorn to the Redskins last year, was the target of the Indians’ bats and was pounded for runs in the third, fourth, seventh and eighth. - Two double plays were reeled off by the Killeferites, their first twoply killings of the season. Buck Fausett had the honor of speeding the first one on its way in the fourth session to smother a Toledo rally.
Sherlock Is Alert
Vincent Sherlock’s pastiming at second base was an interesting part of the contest and his alert play in the first inning pulled Phillips out of hot water. Other feature defensive work was turned in by Oscar Eckhardt and Salty Parker. Eckhardt prevented a Toledo “touchdown” in the sixth by making a flying tackle on Tresh’s drive to right. Oscar left his feet, snared the pellet with one hand, rolled over and came up with the catch. It robbed the Hens of a run because Adair was in scoring position at the time with two down. Parker's stop of Tresher’s scorcher
in the game-ending out and then all Tribe hands rushed up to Phillips and gave him him the old college cheer. It was his first start ih the American Association and he felt justly proud of the achievement. Toledo employed five left-handed stickers against his right-handed slants, but he was shrewd and wormed out of danger spots silencing the guns of the visitors’ heavy artillery.
Phillips Protects Position
Every member of the Indians picked up one or more hits, including Phillips, who singled in the seventh and eventually scored. One of the two tallies registered off Red was unearned, an error by Parker in the third doing the damage. Phillips also handled his position in experienced fashion and was on the starting end of a double play in the seventh.
The Indians earned two markers on four consecutive hits in the third before. a double killing cut them down. Sherlock, Fausett, Eckhardt. and Taylor staged the rally.
Bob Latshaw had a tough time with Cohen the first three times at bat. In the, eighth, however, the rookie batted in a run with a single.
Phillips dished up three consecutive wide ones to Cohen in the third and then fanned him.
Danny Taylor is pacing the Indians with the bludgeon with six hits in 12 times at bat. Figures on the regulars follow: Pct. .500 364 .333 333 273 213 250 222
